The move comes at a crucial point for the automaker, which faces an uphill battle amidst a controversial rebrand.

Jaguar Land Rover CEO Adrian Mardell is stepping down after 35 years at the automaker, including the last three as CEO. Mardell's tenure brought increased profits to JLR, and he started a major restructuring of the automaker's brands and model lineups that's still underway.

JLR CEO Adrian Mardell is leaving the British manufacturer after almost three years at the helm, Autocar can reveal. Mardell was appointed as CEO in 2023, following the sudden departure of Thierry Bolloré, and has led the Jaguar and Land Rover brands through one of the most transformative periods in their respective histories.
