Default No petrol engine XE

On another XE forum there has been a correspondence about Jaguar ceasing to offer the P250 petrol engine on the RWD XE. Only the D200 diesel engine is now offered. Worse than that, several individuals who have had P250 engine XEs on order since March-April have just had their orders summarily cancelled by Jaguar.
This seems to be an extraordinarily bad way for Jaguar to treat its (potentially) paying customers and seems likely to put people off the brand for good

Hmm - I knew the XE was no longer offered in the US but I hadn't realised the XJ had also been withdrawn. Rumour has it that the XE will be withdrawn in the UK within the next year or so and Jaguar has announced that it will be concentrating on "upmarket" (that is very expensive) SUVs and dropping all its saloons(sedans).
I guess some of this has been pushed by the UK's legal ban on all ICE cars by 2030. Jaguar has said it will be all electric by 2025 and SUVs have more room for the batteries than saloons do.
Jaguar's current electric SUV - the iPace - is certainly upmarket with a UK list price of around £72,000 (about $99,000). I think this upmarket move is a mistaken strategy as they'll then be trying to compete with Bentley, Aston Martin and Porsche, whereas Jaguar has always previously kept their prices just to the higher end of the mass market.

They are going to concentrate on a more niche market, but they actually just announced that they were stepping away from SUVs to focus on performance cars.
