Mardell’s departure comes as JLR faces huge business challenges in the shape of import tariffs in the US – its biggest market – and a controversial luxury rebrand for Jaguar which see its range fully revamped as BEV-only from 2026.

Jaguar isn’t making any cars until the new electric lineup is ready next year.

Mardell was appointed to the position of CEO in November 2022. Prior to that he was JLR’s Chief Financial Officer.
