LONDON: Jaguar Land Rover will offer electric options across its range of sleek sedans and upscale SUVs as the tradition-rich British carmaker pivots toward electric vehicles under pressure from the UK and other governments.

By 2020, the entire range of Jaguar cars and Land Rover sport utility vehicles will be available in fully-electric, plug-in hybrid and so-called mild hybrid variants, chief executive officer Ralf Speth said in a Bloomberg Television interview with Manus Cranny and Anna Edwards.
