China’s fast-growing automaker Chery could soon manufacture vehicles at Jaguar Land Rover facilities in the United Kingdom, according to a major report by the Financial Times. The move comes at a time when Jaguar Land Rover is facing substantial excess production capacity in the UK, following Jaguar’s decision to end internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle production in December 2025. UK vehicle output in 2025 stood at just 738,000 units, underlining the scale of unused capacity across the industry. A Partnership That Already ExistsJaguar Land Rover and Chery are no strangers to each other. It would see a Chinese automaker using legacy European manufacturing infrastructure, rather than building greenfield plants from scratch.
