The hybrid is supposed to feature a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel engine, a 35 kW (47 hp / 48 PS) electric motor, and an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.

The first hybrid is expected to be the XJ, but Jaguar-Land Rover's chief hybrid engineer Peter Richings stated that "the transmission can be fitted to any of our cars with a north-south [longitudinal] layout". This means virtually every Jaguar (with the exception of the X-type) can use the system.

Future Jaguar hybrids will follow the tech shown in the Range_e prototype unveiled this week: a 350v electric system powered by a lithium ion battery pack and controlled by JLR's own proprietary control unit with regenerative braking. Owners can charge the lithium ion battery at home or work so they can run on full EV mode for longer. It can drive more than 20 miles on battery power alone, emit less than 100g/km of CO2 and yet top up to 70mph on electric mode.
