Jaguar’s History: An Upward Trajectory

Jaguar started as a company that produced sidecars for motorcycles (Swallow Sidecar Company). The name Jaguar was originally a vehicle model that was adopted as the company name in 1945. 

The brand earned recognition with its sports models in the 1940s and 50s. These included the Jaguar XK120, Jaguar XK140, Jaguar XK150, and the famous Jaguar E-Type, regarded as one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. All these models had tremendous performance and impressive speeds of up to 150 miles per hour. 

At Rapid Tire, our technicians offer services for the legacy Jaguar models and the more modern series.

From the 1960s to the 1990s, Jaguar used the Twin OHC XK Engine in several models, which became some of the best-selling vehicles of the time. The company pioneered performance innovations and design, with sleek lines, sophisticated colors, and luxurious interiors defining the Jaguar aesthetic. 

The Jaguar Lineup 

Jaguar’s different series primarily comprise performance vehicles.

• XJ Series: The Jaguar XJ is the flagship luxury sedan series (mid- and full-size). These began production in the 60s and have since been used by the British royal family and leaders worldwide. 
• XE and XF Series: The Jaguar XE and Jaguar XF series are midsize, compact sedans with elegant, sophisticated designs and powerful engines. The Jaguar XE is more of a family vehicle. 
• F-Type: The Jaguar F-Type is a two-door sports vehicle widely considered the successor to the E-Type. It’s famous for its swift handling and stellar road performance. 
• F-Pace: The Jaguar F-Pace is the brand's first SUV-class vehicle, using the quintessential features found in Jaguar sedans in a mid-size luxury SUV. The company also introduced this model’s electrified versions, the E-Pace (plug-in hybrid) and I-Pace (all electric). 

Rapid Tire's technicians provide reliable services for all Jaguar models, including newer electric vehicles.
