Rumors suggest that the new Jag will bow in around 2018 and will go head to head with the Audi Q6 e-tron Quattro that debuted in concept form in Frankfurt. The Audi and Jag will come in at around £60,000 and have a similar 300 mile driving range.

Both those vehicles will be going head to head with the Tesla Model X that will beat them both to market. Other than those details on the new Jag electric SUV, not much else is known. Sources claim that Jag will be using an electric motor inboard at each corner.

In that setup the car would still use driveshafts. Jag parent company Tata has in-wheel electric motors and there is always a chance that tech will be employed, but it's not likely.
