Default Discontinuing the V8 90 rumour?

I saw this on another forum.


I wonder if others have heard this? Not sure if it means no more V8s in the 90 or no V8s at all or that they are phasing over to the BMW V8 or that it is only the orders for the 2023 model as they are getting ready for the 2024 launch?

News Flash: Everything is going electric. JLR is going to discontinue the V8 and every ICE vehicle they have...like in the next 5 years.

The V8 will be discontinued on the Defender, there’s no doubt about that. Butttt, I think it might be a few more model years. I can see them discontinuing the 90 altogether very soon. But that’s just my opinion. There has been no official word about discontinuing of any model, body style, or engine option, including the P300 4 Cylinder, which I believe will be soon as well.
