Hybrid vehicles are the wave of the future.  It’s a bandwagon that many car companies are jumping on, or want to jump on.  Jaguar/Land Rover are no different.  When they were a part of Ford Motors, they had more access to the type of engineering that is needed for a company to add electric driving capabilities to a car, SUV, and the like.  Now, JLR is part of Tata Motors and they’re “shopping” around for staff to engineer a hybrid vehicle that down the road could make it to your Madison car dealer.

What is the company doing to advertise their open positions?  They have a dedicated team that is recruiting the right people.  JLR wants to employ 50 engineers with experience in these areas:electrical, infotainment, software and hybrid engine technology. This would be in addition to the 125 grads and apprentices joining the company this September.  It’s no surprise that the company has already gotten 4,500 graduate apps in 2010 alone. They are the biggest auto recruiter in the United Kingdom and many people are looking for work these days.  Hey, if they can help create a Madison new car that is environmentally sound, that is a good thing!

Speaking of new cars, what might you currently find at your Madison car dealer?  It’s probably going to be awhile before a hybrid arrives, so the current inventory should catch your eye….hopefully!

There’s the 2010 Jaguar XF Luxury model that could be a good match.  It’s a 4.2L, v8 engine- nice ride!  It comes with a great selection of convenience features such as memory for seating and steering wheel.  In case your significant other drives it, it can go back to your comfort level in a second!  There’s also the keyless remote entry and a plethora of front and back cupholders (so very important) !

If you want something bigger, check out the 2010 Land Rover LR2.  It comes standard with all-wheel drive and has 4 doors, perfect for transporting your family on vacations and to sporting events. You’ll find it equipped with a 3.2 L, V6 engine.  Land Rovers for sale at your Madison car dealer also have great off-road capacity, if that is more your forte?!?!

There’s a lot in store for JLR as they move into the electric vehicle arena.  They already produce amazing luxury cars/SUV’s and it’s no doubt that future Madison new cars will be top-notch as well!
