Does the departure of JLR Chief
Creative Officer, Gerry McGovern,
mean more turmoil for Jaguar, or is
there light at the end of the tunnel? It’s safe to say that Jaguar’s brand strategy of late left most automotive commentators and brand loyalists not just shaking their heads but almost scratching their eyes out! The styling of the pink Type 00 raised plenty of eyebrows, but what was even more questionable was the brand’s decision to abandon – shun even – its storied history.</p>

<p>Jaguar even went so far as to delete all the previous posts on its Instagram account. Starting afresh is one thing, but disowning a heritage as great as Jaguar’s was a decision that was equal parts bold and equal parts downright stupid!</p>

<p>It's easy to sit on the sidelines and criticise, of course, but JLR had to do something drastic since nothing seemed to have worked. They brought out a modern-day interpretation of the legendary E-Type sports car in the shape of the svelte and hugely desirable F-Type – and while it did see some success, it didn’t quite have the impact that it ought to have done.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

      </div>
    <p>In my opinion, after the Aston Martin DB7, it was then Jaguar lead designer and design legend Ian Callum’s best work. That’s to say nothing of the XJ, XF and XE sedans, which were the best driving cars out there. I would even go so far as to say that Jaguar had even displaced BMW as the ‘Ultimate Driving Machine.’ And that’s to say nothing of Ian Callum’s magical penmanship once more, but still no one reached for their chequebooks. They even introduced a range of SUVs that shared their underpinnings with Land Rover – but, again, the market didn’t budge.</p>

<p>And while I could never quite figure out why, it became far clearer once I asked myself a pair of simple questions. Did I want a new Jaguar? Absolutely, with all my heart. But would I buy one? And the answer to that fateful question, I’m afraid, was NO.</p>

<p>You see, since the days of British Leyland, Jaguar had developed a reputation for unreliability, and it’s one that they could never shed – especially in the world’s most important car market, the US. Sadly, some of those quality niggles remained well into the modern day, so that reputation wasn’t entirely unfounded, but it was a little unfair all the same. Jaguar made enormous strides in terms of design, engineering and quality – just not enough to turn the tables on public perception.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

      </div>
    

<p>And then came Gerry – high on the success of not just resurrecting the Land Rover and Range Rover brands but repositioning them entirely. It’s safe to say that the current Range Rover isn’t just one of the most capable cars on the planet, but also one of the most desirable and highly sought-after. So, who better than him to finally rescue a failing Jaguar?</p>

<p>Sadly, he chose to bury the leaping cat and forge an entirely new identity that no one could relate to. The brand also decided to dive headfirst into the luxury EV pond – you wouldn’t blame them necessarily. After all, it took just one look at the Tesla stock chart to see that it wasn’t BMW that you wanted to emulate, it was Elon Musk.</p>

<p>But the bottom appears to have fallen out of the luxury EV market, so much so that even Porsche has just reported a billion-dollar loss. Gerry put all his chips on red – or pink, I should say – and it came up black, at least on this bet. But it would be unfair if he were to be remembered not for his massive successes at Land Rover but for the biblical downfall of Jaguar.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

      </div>
    <p>But now that he’s been shown the door just days after PB Balaji took the reins, can Jaguar finally script a sustainable turnaround? Frankly, it looks more complex than ever, but Jaguar has always revelled in being the underdog. Now that Jaguar has decided to embrace its heritage once again, here’s hoping they can finally script a comeback for the leaping cat.

Letter from the Editor - JLR Fires Gerry McGovern: What’s Next for Jaguar?

As the industry pivots and icons reinvent themselves, Jaguar finds itself at a crossroads — not of technology, but of identity and relevance.

<p>Land Rover’s chief creative officer Gerry McGovern has reportedly stepped down after more than two decades with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), marking a major shift in the company’s leadership structure. His exit comes at a time when JLR is going through a wider management review following the departure of former chief executive Adrian Mardell. The company has not issued a formal statement, but industry sources suggest McGovern’s position became less certain after PB Balaji took charge as chief executive on 17 November 2025. The move is viewed as part of a broader assessment of roles under the new leadership and follows changes within the Tata Group after the passing of Ratan Tata, who had supported McGovern’s work across the brands.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/this-land-rover-defender-dakar-d7x-r-is-built-to-conquer-dakar-2026-122296/">This Land Rover Defender Dakar D7X-R Is Built to Conquer Dakar 2026</a></p><p>Reports indicate that McGovern’s exit began to take shape soon after Balaji assumed control as part of a planned transition for the company. JLR is expected to refine its senior structure as it continues its internal restructuring. McGovern’s departure was considered possible following Mardell’s earlier exit and a shift in how design decisions were being aligned with new business priorities. The reshuffle reflects JLR’s push to simplify accountability in key areas across its operations.</p><p>Over his long tenure with the company, McGovern led several projects for the Range Rover, Discovery and Defender model lines. His work also included the Range Rover Evoque and Velar. He returned to Land Rover in 2004 as advanced design director before becoming chief creative officer in 2020, taking responsibility for design and brand strategy across Jaguar and Land Rover. His period in the role included production models and concept studies, including the Jaguar Type 00.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2024/12/Jaguar-Type00-front-.jpg" alt="Jaguar Type 00 Front " style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>McGovern was also connected to Jaguar’s Panthera programme, an internal plan designed to redefine the brand’s position. The programme received mixed reactions from industry watchers, with some questioning whether the direction aligned with Jaguar’s previous identity and long-term product plans within the shift to electrification.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/discovery-tempest-gemini-editions-launched-in-india-prices-start-at-rs-126-crore-121941/">Discovery Tempest, Gemini Editions Launched in India; Prices Start at Rs 1.26 Crore</a></p><p>JLR has not outlined how it plans to handle design responsibilities after his exit, as it continues to move forward with its electrification strategy and the brand separation of Jaguar and Land Rover.</p><p><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/industry/gerry-mcgovern-next-high-profile-exit-from-jlr-438546">Source</a></p>

Land Rover Design Boss Gerry McGovern Exits Role After 21 Years Amid Leadership Shake-Up: Report

Gerry McGovern has reportedly exited JLR after 21 years amid a leadership shake-up following PB Balaji’s appointment as CEO, with design roles yet to be reassigned.

<p>Land Rover is gearing up for the 2026 Dakar Rally with the Defender Dakar D7X-R, a version built to handle long stages, rough terrain, and strict Stock-class rules. It’s still based on the Defender OCTA and uses the same D7x aluminium monocoque frame, but gets rally-focused upgrades to meet World Rally-Raid Championship requirements. Power comes from a BMW-sourced 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that now runs with an FIA-approved restrictor. The brand has logged long test runs across different terrain to make sure the SUV is ready for Dakar conditions. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/this-land-rover-defender-dakar-d7x-r-is-built-to-conquer-dakar-2026-122296/">Dakar 2026: Land Rover Tests D7X-R Prototype, Signs Rally Legend Peterhansel</a></p><p>Engineers, drivers, and support crews have worked together on performance and durability checks, and the entry will run on FIA-certified sustainable fuel when the rally begins in Saudi Arabia in January 2026.</p><h2>Defender Dakar D7X-R: Design</h2><p>The Defender Dakar D7X-R comes with wider arches, stronger body sections, and functional panels shaped to deal with dunes, rocks, and steep climbs. The wider track and raised height help with balance on uneven surfaces. The exterior updates focus on airflow, clearance, and dust control at high speeds. Everything here is built around keeping the SUV steady on tough rally stages.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Defender-Daka_r-D7X-R-Rear-1764151219909.webp" alt="Defender Daka_r D7X-R Rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Ground clearance now stands at 370mm thanks to updated suspension geometry built for soft sand and mixed terrain. The wider stance supports 35-inch off-road tyres that are standard in rally-raid use. A large 550-litre fuel tank sits in the rear cabin to handle stages that stretch beyond 800km, reducing the need for stops. These changes help the Defender keep moving through long sections that usually decide Dakar stage results.</p><h2>Defender Dakar D7X-R: Interior</h2><p>Inside, the setup follows FIA rally guidelines, so you get a full roll cage, six-point harness seats, and basic navigation equipment for the driver and co-driver. A single motorsport control unit manages key systems to keep things simple. </p><p>

The layout is stripped back and built for focus.</p><h2>Defender Dakar D7X-R: Engine</h2><p>The 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 is the same one used in the OCTA but now runs with a restrictor to meet Stock-class rules. The eight-speed automatic gearbox stays unchanged but uses a shorter final drive for better torque at slow speeds in deep sand or rocky patches. </p><p>Suspension components co-developed with Bilstein help at high desert speeds, while six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes manage stopping power. </p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/track-test/range-rover-sport-sv-at-autox-awards-best-cars-of-2025-ranked-122182/">Range Rover Sport SV at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked</a></p><p>A system called Flight Mode controls torque when the SUV goes airborne, protecting the driveline during landings and keeping performance consistent across tough Dakar stages.</p>

This Land Rover Defender Dakar D7X-R Is Built to Conquer Dakar 2026

A wider stance, high-clearance setup, and Dakar-focused livery give the Land Rover Defender D7X-R a strong presence for the 2026 rally.

<p>Land Rover has announced the prices for the 2026 iteration of the Discovery SUV in India and, along with that, introduced two new variants – Gemini and Tempest.&nbsp;The carmaker has also discontinued the Dynamic S and Metropolitan Edition trims for the 2026 model year. Both new MY26&nbsp;variants of the Discovery SUV set themselves apart with several exterior and interior upgrades. </p><p>However,&nbsp;the powertrain remains unchanged, with all variants continuing to use a 3.0-litre,&nbsp;six-cylinder, turbocharged mild-hybrid diesel engine producing 345bhp, sending power to all four wheels&nbsp;through an AWD system and a 9-speed automatic transmission. The setup enables the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/land-rover/">Land Rover</a> SUV to accelerate&nbsp;from 0 to 100km/h in just 6.3 seconds.</p><p>Here's a look at prices for the 2026 Discovery in India.&nbsp;</p><table style="border-collapse:collapse;width: 100%;"><tbody>

It is available in two heritage-inspired colour options, and has a starting price of £89,810 (approximately Rs 1.04 crore)&nbsp;in the UK.&nbsp;The Trophy Edition uses the standard Defender 110 as its foundation, but comes with several upgrades.

<p>Land Rover has unveiled an updated Defender model featuring a range of enhancements to its exterior design, interior comfort, and functional capabilities. These upgrades aim to elevate the vehicle’s renowned off-road performance while also enhancing its appeal to discerning buyers. Land Rover has not changed the Defender’s body format lineup, which continues to be offered in three versions: the compact 90, the mid-size 110, and the full-size 130. Similarly, the mechanical offerings remain unchanged in the Indian market. Customers can choose from five powertrain options, ranging from a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and its plug-in hybrid counterpart to a 3.0-litre diesel. For those seeking more performance, two V8 options are available – a 5.0-litre and a 4.4-litre unit.&nbsp;</p><p>As for pricing, the Defender currently retails in India from Rs 1.05 crore at the entry level, stretching up to Rs 2.79 crore for the top-end variants. Both mentioned prices are ex-showroom figures.&nbsp;</p><h2>New Land Rover Defender: Cosmetic Updates</h2><p>The updated Defender SUV sports refined design, upgraded in-car tech, and various customisation options without straying from its rugged DNA. All variants&nbsp;– including the 90, 110, and 130&nbsp;– now feature redesigned lighting elements, including subtly reworked LED signatures and darkened taillamps that sit flush with the bodywork. The front and rear bumpers have also been subtly reshaped, and gloss black trim on the grille now comes standard across the board. Replacing the previous checker-plate accents, the hood and side vents adopt a more contemporary textured pattern.</p><p>

Though not a full redesign, these exterior adjustments refine the Defender’s aesthetics in a way that subtly distinguishes it from the outgoing model.</p><h2>New Land Rover Defender: Interior Features and Accessories</h2><p>Inside, the Defender adopts a more tech-forward layout with a larger 13.1-inch touchscreen replacing the outgoing 11.4-inch unit. While most of the cabin layout remains intact, slight ergonomic tweaks – like a repositioned gear lever – enhance usability.
