Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed plans to cut around 4,000 jobs globally over the next two years, as the British luxury carmaker moves to reduce costs and strengthen its competitiveness.

The company is targeting approximately £1.7 billion in savings, with the majority of job losses expected to affect UK operations and primarily non-production roles. JLR has begun a voluntary redundancy programme for eligible employees.

Chief Executive PB Balaji said the automotive industry is facing significant challenges from technological change, intense competition and geopolitical uncertainty.

Despite the reductions, JLR plans to invest £15–18 billion over the next five years in electrification, digital technology and advanced manufacturing, while launching five new products during the next 12 months.

The announcement is expected to create significant uncertainty for JLR employees and communities across the UK as further details of the restructuring emerge.
