Jaguar Land Rover wants to focus on the US market.
It will partner with Stellantis to build the Defender in the US.
New models are coming, including hybrids and electric vehicles.
British automaker Land Rover has never built a vehicle in the United States. That will soon change, thanks to assistance from American automaker Stellantis. "Our aspiration, in the coming years, is to grow our US business to the size of the entire JLR business as it exists today," JLR CEO PB Balaji said in a company statement on June 17, 2026.
That's a fairly tall order, even with the US currently accounting for 30 percent of Jaguar Land Rover's current global sales. For US operations to grow to meet the company's current global sales, they would need to increase by over 300 percent.
