The Sino-Swedish maker was followed by Jaguar Land Rover, which announced its intentions to electrify every one of its new vehicle in some way after the year 2020.

Within the next two years we will see new all-electric luxury cars from Audi, BMW, Jaguar, and Mercedes-Benz appear in actual showrooms. All four of those makes have shown concepts for their pricey, 200-mile-plus electric cars, and most of them are expected to go on sale in the second half of next year as 2019 models.

What a shame. Diesel engines were just getting a foothold in the United States and Volkswagen had to go ruin it. At this point, it looks like diesel is dead for cars in the U.S., though it may hang on for SUVs and will certainly continue in heavy duty pickups. Yet in these uncertain times for oil burners, Jaguar has decided to stick with its plans to offer its new Ingenium 2.0-liter turbodiesel in the XE and XF sedans, as well as the F-Pace crossover. I recently had the opportunity to drive the 2017 Jaguar XE 20d AWD R-Sport and test its real-world gas mileage performance. The XE 20d AWD...

It's still hard to explain to outsiders just how disruptive Tesla Motors and its electric luxury cars have been to the established German prestige automakers. From 2017 to 2020, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche will all launch one or more "Tesla-alikes" intended to match or surpass the capabilities of the California company's Model S sedan and Model X crossover utility vehicle.
