Design head Ian Callum continues to show electrics Jaguars are the Jaguars he wants to design.
The Jaguar stand at the 2019 New York Auto Show was a tale of two Jaguars. One one end, the electric I-Pace got center stage for the second year in a row, just coming off of three wins at the show at the World Car Awards. Yet on the other side, the 2020 Jaguar XE sat there as a reminder of the catching up the brand had to do in order to get on the premium sedan radar.
