Jaguar and Land Rover Cars Available to Salary Sacrifice (2026 Guide)
Key Insights:
The Range Rover Electric opened its UK order book on 2 September 2026 at £154,070, with 542bhp, a 118.5kWh battery, up to 372 miles of WLTP range and first deliveries due before the end of 2026.
Jaguar's production electric GT is officially the Type 01: it makes its public debut in New York in October 2026, with orders expected in the second half of 2026 and first UK deliveries in early 2027 at an estimated £120,000 or more.
Pure electric cars pay just 4% Benefit-in-Kind for the 2026/27 tax year compared with up to 37% for high-emission petrol and diesel models, which is why a Jaguar or Land Rover EV costs far less through salary sacrifice than through a personal lease.
The Electric Car Scheme lets employees save 20-50% on a new or used electric car, including used Jaguar I-Pace models delivered in around 14 days, with Complete Employer Protection from day one.
Jaguar and Land Rover are two of Britain's best-known car brands, and since 2013 they have operated as one company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), covering design, manufacturing and sales for both marques. For years JLR moved more slowly on electrification than rivals, leaning on plug-in hybrid versions of the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Evoque, Discovery and Defender while the Jaguar I-Pace carried the electric flag alone. That has changed in 2026. The Range Rover Electric is now on sale, Jaguar is about to relaunch as an all-electric brand with the Type 01, and both fit naturally into an electric car salary sacrifice scheme where the 4% Benefit-in-Kind rate for 2026/27 does most of the heavy lifting on cost.
This guide covers the hybrid and electric cars JLR sells today, how you can drive a Jaguar or Land Rover through The Electric Car Scheme, and what is coming next from Solihull, Halewood and Jaguar's new design studio.
Jaguar Land Rover's Electric Strategy in 2026
JLR's Reimagine strategy, announced in 2021, set a target of becoming a net-zero-carbon business by 2039 and originally promised an electric option across every product line by 2030. The plan has since been reshaped rather than abandoned. Jaguar stopped selling new cars in the UK in November 2024, when the F-Pace followed the I-Pace and E-Pace out of production, and used the pause to reinvent itself as a low-volume, design-led electric brand positioned closer to Bentley than to BMW. Land Rover has taken a more measured route, keeping its plug-in hybrids on sale while the Range Rover Electric leads a rolling programme of battery-electric models built on the updated MLA-Flex platform and the new 800V EMA architecture.
For anyone weighing up a company electric car scheme, the practical result is that 2026 is the first year in which a brand-new JLR electric car can be ordered in the UK, and the first in which Jaguar has a confirmed production EV on the way. The Benefit-in-Kind guide explains why the timing matters: pure EVs sit at 4% BiK for 2026/27, rising by a single percentage point a year to 9% in 2029/30, while plug-in hybrids and combustion cars sit far higher.

JLR still sells a wide range of plug-in hybrids, including the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Evoque, the Discovery Sport, and the Defender. These cars pair a petrol engine with a battery that offers a limited electric-only range, and they suited JLR well after diesel demand fell in the late 2010s, becoming the company's main electrified offering across Europe.
They are less well suited to salary sacrifice. Plug-in hybrids are taxed on their CO2 output and electric-only range, so their BiK rates sit well above the 4% that a pure electric car pays in 2026/27, and the government has confirmed that all plug-in hybrids in the 1-50g/km band move to 18% BiK from April 2028. The Electric Car Scheme focuses on fully electric cars for exactly this reason: the tax gap between a battery-electric Range Rover and its hybrid sibling is the difference between a saving worth having and one that barely covers the lease. The employee tax savings guide walks through how that gap shows up in take-home pay.
JLR has also explored hydrogen. Land Rover led Project Zeus, a £73 million research programme into a zero-tailpipe-emission premium SUV using fuel cells, on the basis that a hydrogen tank is roughly 80% lighter than an equivalent battery pack and refuels in minutes. Nothing from that work is on sale, and every JLR zero-emission model now confirmed for production is battery-electric.
Lease the Jaguar i-Pace using The Electric Car Scheme
The above image has been sourced from: https://mashable.com/article/jaguar-i-pace-new-charge-time-features
The Jaguar I-Pace was launched in 2018 as one of the first premium electric SUVs from an established manufacturer, and it remains a striking, quick and genuinely enjoyable five-seat car. UK-bound production ended in 2024, so it is no longer available to order new, but it has become one of the more interesting options on the used electric car salary sacrifice scheme, where it competes against the Audi e-tron and the Mercedes EQC, both of which you can also read about in our Mercedes salary sacrifice guide.
When new, the I-Pace ranged from £69,995 to £79,995 across four trims: R-Dynamic S, R-Dynamic SE Black, R-Dynamic HSE Black and Sport. Even the entry-level R-Dynamic S came with 18-inch alloys, LED headlights and a three-screen infotainment set-up, while higher trims added 20-inch wheels, heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof and an upgraded sound system. All versions share the same 90kWh battery and twin-motor, all-wheel-drive layout.
| Trim | Battery | 0-60mph | WLTP range (new) |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-Dynamic S | 90kWh | 4.8 seconds | 286 miles |
| R-Dynamic SE Black | 90kWh | 4.8 seconds | 277 miles |
| R-Dynamic HSE Black | 90kWh | 4.8 seconds | 276 miles |
| Sport | 90kWh | 4.8 seconds | 261 miles |
The cost per month here is calculated using The Electric Car Scheme’s quote tool, based on a 40% taxpayer, 10,000 miles per annum and a three-year lease. You can enter details specific to you by visiting our quote tool here.
You can salary sacrifice the Jaguar i-Pace from The Electric Car Scheme and save between 20-50% by paying from your gross salary - which means you save on National Insurance and Income Tax. You can see the breakdown of how much you will pay per month to lease the R-Dynamic S below.
Lease a used Jaguar I-Pace from The Electric Car Scheme
Most salary sacrifice providers only offer new cars. The Electric Car Scheme also offers used electric cars, and it is the most affordable way to drive electric. Cars are typically under three years old, within manufacturer warranty and from a single previous owner rather than auction or fleet stock. They are reconditioned before being offered to scheme members, and most can be on your driveway within 14 days of order.
Whether you choose a new or used car, the package is the same: insurance, routine servicing, MOTs, tyres, breakdown cover and Complete Employer Protection are all included in a single monthly deduction from gross salary, which is how members save 20-50% compared with a personal lease. Used I-Pace availability depends on what has come back off lease, so the only reliable way to see a live price is to browse the used cars on the quote tool, which shows the monthly cost for your own salary, tax band and mileage.
What’s the i-Pace like to drive?

Around town the I-Pace feels sporty, as you would expect from a Jaguar, but that translates to a firm ride at low speeds unless the car is fitted with optional air suspension. Forward visibility is good apart from thick pillars either side of the windscreen. Rear visibility is compromised by a small rear window and wide rear pillars, so the parking cameras earn their place. On the motorway the ride improves with speed and the car settles into an effortless cruise, although tyre noise is more noticeable without an engine to mask it. The I-Pace weighs over two tonnes, yet it corners with little body roll and feels stable on tight country lanes. Twin motors, one on each axle, deliver 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds.
Space inside the i-Pace

The cabin is spacious and minimalist, with plenty of storage: a large tray behind the climate controls, a deep bin under the central armrest with charging points, two cupholders and door bins that swallow large bottles. HSE models add leather sports seats that look good and support well on long journeys. Rear passengers get generous leg and headroom, a fold-down armrest with cupholders, ISOFIX points and a relatively flat floor for the middle seat. The boot is larger than the F-Pace's despite the underfloor battery, with a slightly higher load level, no lip to lift over and plenty of hooks and a 12-volt socket for securing and charging things.

Interior details
Many EVs chase a futuristic look. The I-Pace instead keeps a classic Jaguar feel inside, which many owners prefer. Material quality matches other modern Jaguars, with soft-touch plastics and fabric on the doors, a low sporty seating position and a highly adjustable, thick-rimmed leather steering wheel carrying the infotainment controls.
Infotainment and accessories
The I-Pace uses two central touchscreens plus a customisable 12-inch driver display that can show navigation, media or performance data, with an optional head-up display. The main screen is generously sized but some of the small buttons along its lower edge take a while to learn. The lower screen handles climate and secondary functions and can reflect light in bright conditions, a common complaint on cars of this generation.
Coming soon: New Electric Range Rover
The Range Rover Electric is no longer coming soon so much as arriving. After a development programme that pushed the launch back from 2024, and then from 2025, JLR opened the UK order book on 2 September 2026. First customer deliveries are scheduled for the final quarter of 2026, and the car is built at Solihull alongside the petrol and plug-in hybrid versions. Our dedicated Range Rover Electric guide covers the model in depth, and the headline facts are below.

Technical details
According to the order-book announcement covered by Octane, the Range Rover Electric uses a 118.5kWh battery on an 800V architecture and a dual-motor set-up producing 550PS (542bhp) and 850Nm of torque. That is enough for 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds, matching the V8 petrol model as JLR promised during testing. WLTP range is up to 372 miles, with JLR quoting around 333 miles in real-world driving, and a 350kW charger takes the battery from 10 to 80% in roughly 22 minutes. Off-road, it wades to 900mm, deeper than the combustion car, and its traction control manages slip at each wheel through software rather than the brakes, which is what allowed prototypes to keep going in Arctic Circle testing at minus 40 degrees.
| Version | UK on-the-road price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Autobiography (SWB) | £154,070 | Launch specification, 542bhp, 372 miles WLTP |
| First Edition | £157,610 | Limited launch trim |
| SV Black (LWB) | £225,240 | Long wheelbase, SV specification |
| SV Ultra | Price on application | Top of the range |
Range Rover Electric Design
The electric model does not differ hugFrom the outside the electric model is deliberately almost indistinguishable from the combustion Range Rover. It keeps the same proportions and only two obvious differences give it away: a sliding cover over the charging port and a smoother front end, because there is no engine to cool. Inside, JLR has aimed for the quietest and most refined Range Rover it has ever built, and early drives suggest the near-silent electric drivetrain suits the car better than any engine has.Salary sacrifice the Range Rover Electric
Once available in the UK, you will be able to lease the Range Rover Electric from The Electric Car Scheme. This will allow you to save 20-50% on this new release by sacrificing some of your gross salary, allowing you to save on income tax and national insurance tax. You can read more about salary sacrifice and frequently asked questions by browsing our salary sacrifice hub.
Salary sacrifice the Range Rover Electric
Because it can now be ordered new in the UK, the Range Rover Electric is the first JLR electric car you can put through The Electric Car Scheme as a factory order. With a P11D value north of £154,000, the 4% BiK rate for 2026/27 produces a taxable benefit of around £6,160 a year, which costs a higher-rate taxpayer roughly £205 a month. A petrol Range Rover at the 37% BiK ceiling would generate a benefit nine times larger. The lease itself is paid from gross salary, saving income tax and National Insurance, so the 20-50% saving applies to a six-figure car just as it does to a hatchback. You can read more about how that works in our salary sacrifice resource hub, and a personalised figure takes a minute on the quote tool.
The Range Rover Electric will not stay alone for long. A Range Rover Sport Electric is expected to follow on the same platform, the Velar Electric is due to be revealed in late 2026 as the first car on JLR's 800V EMA platform ahead of production at Halewood in early 2027, and an electric Evoque is pencilled in for 2027.
Coming Soon: Jaguar Type 01 Electric GT
Jaguar's return is a bigger story than a single new model, because since new UK sales ended in November 2024 the brand has had nothing to sell. The car that restarts it is the Jaguar Type 01, the production evolution of the Type 00 concept that divided opinion when it appeared during Miami Art Week in December 2024 shortly after Jaguar's controversial rebrand.
What is the Jaguar Type 01?
Jaguar confirmed the Type 01 name on 12 May 2026, ahead of camouflaged prototypes running at the Monaco Formula E weekend, and at JLR's investor day in June 2026 its chief commercial officer confirmed a full public debut in New York in October 2026. Orders are expected to open in the second half of 2026, with first UK deliveries reported for early 2027 according to Autocar India's reporting, so even after the reveal, UK buyers have a wait ahead. The Type 01 is the first car on the new Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), and Jaguar has said two further models will follow on the same platform.
The name is a deliberate piece of heritage. "Type" ties the car to the C-Type, D-Type, E-Type and F-Type, while "01" signals both zero tailpipe emissions and the first car of Jaguar's new era. The badge sits on a strikethrough motif where the bonnet meets the windscreen.
Range, performance and specs
Jaguar has said more about engineering than about price, although every figure below is a manufacturer claim or pre-production report rather than a final homologated number. The Motor1 preview and Jaguar's own statements agree on the shape of the car.
| Specification | Claimed / reported figure |
|---|---|
| Range | More than 700km (around 435 miles) WLTP, claimed |
| Rapid charging | Around 200 miles added in 15 minutes at up to 350kW |
| Power | Tri-motor, more than 986bhp (735kW), reported |
| Torque | Around 1,300Nm, reported |
| Battery | Approximately 120kWh on an 800V-class architecture |
| Dimensions | Around 5.2m long, 3.2m wheelbase |
| Wheels | 23-inch as standard |
| Suspension | Air suspension with twin-valve active dampers |
If those numbers survive the October reveal, the Type 01 would sit among the most powerful and longest-range EVs on sale anywhere, comfortably ahead of the Porsche Taycan and Maserati GranTurismo Folgore we cover in our electric sports cars guide.
Design and interior
Jaguar has confirmed that the Type 01 keeps the four-door fastback silhouette of the Type 00 concept rather than reverting to something more conventional, though it describes the production car as a "more practical" four-door format, so concept flourishes such as the butterfly doors may not survive. Prototypes seen in Monaco showed a low, flat-surfaced body with almost no rear window, relying on cameras instead, and charging ports on both front wings.
The concept was shown in two colourways chosen to symbolise the brand's shift: Miami Pink, a nod to the Art Deco setting of its reveal, and London Blue, a reference to Jaguar's British roots. Inside, it leaned on sustainable materials including recycled fabrics and responsibly sourced wood, with a customisable "Prism" lighting system intended to let occupants tailor the cabin to their mood. Jaguar's chief exterior designer said the aim was a car that commands attention "like all the best Jaguars of the past", and the brand's chief materiality designer described a focus on "authentic, unexpected materials and captivating colour". Early hands-on reports from Electrifying suggest the production interior draws on travertine stone and artisan textiles in a 2+2 layout.
How much will the Jaguar Type 01 cost?
Jaguar has not published a price and will not until the October reveal, so everything in this paragraph is an estimate. Reporting from several outlets is consistent on the bracket: entry-level pricing is expected to start above £120,000, higher-specification and limited-edition versions are tipped to reach £140,000 to £150,000 or more, and a JLR executive has suggested pricing will land in the same "sweet spot" as the most expensive Range Rovers, implying transaction prices around £130,000 will be common. That positions the Type 01 against Bentley and Rolls-Royce as much as against mainstream luxury EVs. Treat every one of those figures as a pre-reveal estimate.
At £120,000 or more, and with Jaguar giving no indication that it will supply leasing or salary sacrifice channels at launch, the Type 01 is not going to be a realistic salary sacrifice choice for most employees. The relevant point for most readers is different: Jaguar and Land Rover electric cars are already available through The Electric Car Scheme today, from used I-Pace stock to a factory-ordered Range Rover Electric, without waiting for a New York reveal. Pure EVs pay 4% Benefit-in-Kind in 2026/27 against up to 37% for the highest-emission petrol and diesel cars, and employees typically save 20-50% against a personal lease depending on salary, tax band and the car chosen. That is the gap salary sacrifice exists to close, and it is exactly why the cars in this guide are the ones to look at now.
Why Salary Sacrifice a Jaguar or Land Rover With The Electric Car Scheme?
Premium cars gain most from salary sacrifice, because the tax saved on the sacrificed salary grows with the lease cost while the BiK charge stays tiny. The table shows how the 2026/27 rates compare.
| Car type | BiK rate 2026/27 | Taxable benefit on a £60,000 car | Annual BiK tax (40% taxpayer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pure electric (Range Rover Electric, I-Pace, Type 01) | 4% | £2,400 | £960 |
| Plug-in hybrid (varies by electric range) | Well above 4%, 18% for all PHEVs from April 2028 | Depends on band | Depends on band |
| High-emission petrol or diesel | 37% | £22,200 | £8,880 |
The government has committed EV BiK rates to 2029/30, rising by one point a year to 5% in 2027/28, 7% in 2028/29 and 9% in 2029/30, so a driver ordering a Range Rover Electric this year knows their tax position for the full lease.
The Electric Car Scheme adds a few things that matter on cars at this price. Every employer gets Complete Employer Protection from day one, covering resignation, redundancy, long-term sickness and parental leave with no exclusion period, where most providers impose a three-month gap. Pricing comes from multiple UK funders competing for each quote rather than a single lender, which matters more on a £154,000 SUV than on a £30,000 hatchback. There is no set-up cost for the employer, new and used cars sit on the same scheme with the same support, and The Charge Scheme lets drivers salary sacrifice home, workplace and public charging as well, saving a further 20-50% on the electricity that fills a 118.5kWh battery. The scheme is rated 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot, was named Best Salary Sacrifice Provider by Car Sloth in 2024 and 2025, and EV Salary Sacrifice Provider of the Year 2026 by SME News. Our EV salary sacrifice comparison sets out how providers differ on each of those points.
The benefit is popular with employees too. In The Electric Car Scheme's 2024 employee benefits survey, 48% of UK employees said they would feel more motivated at a company offering green benefits and 44% said they would be more likely to stay. EV salary sacrifice ranked as the third most popular perk, valued by 37% of respondents, with 38% saying they would sign up if their employer offered one. For a business chasing retention and ESG targets, a cost-neutral company electric car scheme that puts a Range Rover Electric within reach of senior staff is an unusually visible way to deliver both.
The Bottom Line
For the first time, Jaguar Land Rover has a new electric car you can actually order in the UK. The Range Rover Electric is on sale from £154,070 with 542bhp and 372 miles of range, first deliveries land before the end of 2026, and at 4% BiK for 2026/27 it is far cheaper to run through salary sacrifice than any petrol or hybrid Range Rover. The Jaguar Type 01 is the more dramatic story, with a claimed 435-mile range and more than 986bhp, but it will not be revealed until October 2026, will not reach UK drivers until early 2027, and at an estimated £120,000-plus it sits outside what salary sacrifice is designed for. If you want a Jaguar badge on an electric car now, a used I-Pace through The Electric Car Scheme delivers it in around 14 days at a 20-50% saving.
