Dead Sedan Announcements Thread (now the merits of CUV/SUV's vs sedans thread)

They are. The rear is electric awd. I assume the car runs mods in EV mods as the awd is 1 MPG greater than the Corolla FWD hybrid.
(might be different batteries)

Yes, there is a separate electric motor for the rear axle.
If you are interested in one, give yourself plenty of time to research and find one. The relatively few that are available are in high demand, and dealerships typically either don't have them readily in stock, or don't get many allocated ones.
Personally, I think most Corolla interiors (and those of most lower-grade Toyota products) are on the cheap and tacky side, but I have a lot of respect for the drivetrains and mechanicals that are under the skin....that is where you usually find Toyota quality.

I just remembered that the Jaguar XF was getting axed after this year too, along with every other vehicle in their lineup save the F-Pace crossover.
Just a few days ago it was revealed that the brand won't unveil anything until a concept car in December and then suspend all new car sales for at least a year.

The last gen of Jag sedans were really great looking cars. That said, reliability was still hit or miss. An old colleague of mine had an XJ and when it worked it was great, but at least once a quarter he was in a loaner because it had some issue. He got rid of it when the lease was up.

Yeah, they're done for.
Glover also said that the brand’s higher prices and lower volume ambitions (put at a maximum of 50,000 units a year) mean it is less preoccupied with mainstream market trends: “We’ve chosen a value over volume game, which is why we’ve gone to the price points we’ve gone to.

I think they were planning to go all EV but now nobody wants EVs so they are in no man’s land. Horrible mismanagement!

My dad had one of the newer ones with the modern design. Too bad Jaguar never updated it, its still a great design to me.

Some manufacturers are still staying with sedans...they aren't dead yet in the U.S. Kia, for example, is introducing a new gas-powered K4, which replaces the old Forte. I won't go into it much in detail here, since I just opened a new Car Chat thread on it.
