Lucid, MB, BMW and Porsche can’t give away their expensive EVs and they are much more established brands and i’m sure the products are on a different level.
If they actually bring this monstrosity to market - they will sell in the hundreds per year if that.
Why not update the Ftype and Fpace and bring a new XJ sedan and large SUV a la X7. These brands just do marketing BS instead of doing the gritty work of actually improving their products!

Honestly, I agree.
I get why they're not making a large SUV, they're the sedan arm of Land Rover, they don't want to risk profitable Range Rover sales for Jag sales. But I also cannot fathom trying to stuff this thing in a already crowded and struggling market. BMW i7, MB EQS, Audine Tron GT, Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air, I think Genesis has an electric sedan coming... That's a crowded field for a small market.
They should have updated F Pace, and made a J Pace, a much larger vehicle that straddles the line between low sound SUv and wagon. That'd make it different enough from the LR offerings to not encroach on their sales, while offering something a little different. I'd probably make it be something where there's 2 lengths, a 2 row and a longer 3 row, and a version of the 3 row length with 2 super big rows.
As much as Iiked F type, I don't think it was a priority product, and so I'd have let it run as is. At worst, retool it to take the BMW powertrains like RR is using.
