The company that became Jaguar was founded in 1922, originally a producer of sidecars for motorcycles before a different iteration of the company made a car with Jaguar in the name in 1935. That company was SS Cars, which became Jaguar Cars in 1945, which eventually became a part of British Leyland, which was partly nationalized in 1975. Jaguar became its own company again in 1984, before it was bought by Ford in 1990.
Today, Jaguar is defined by its SUVs, including Jag’s first SUV, the F-Pace, and the E-Pace and I-Pace crossovers. The F-Type is also still around, and so is the Jaguar XF, the brand’s luxury midsize sedan whose current generation was first introduced in 2015. Jaguar Land Rover is, like virtually every other automaker in the world, with some stops and starts along the way.
