Magna’s complete vehicle manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria, hosted Jaguar Land Rover for the automaker’s presentation of its latest model, the new Jaguar I‑PACE.
The event marks the start of production of the brand’s first-ever all-electric car. Magna Steyr says it is now the only contract manufacturer in the world building vehicles with different propulsion systems at one plant and on one production line.
The Jaguar I-PACE is the second Jaguar Land Rover model built by Magna. The first, the Jaguar E-PACE, made its debut in 2017 at the same facility in Graz.
The world premiere of the I-PACE included many VIPs and customers, and the presentation was broadcast live on Jaguar’s social media channels. The guests of the reveal ceremony also had the chance to go for a test drive and experience the new vehicle first-hand.
Approximately 200,000 vehicles will be produced at Magna’s location in Graz in 2018 – four different models for three automakers will be manufactured.
