Do Jaguars use Ford parts?

Introduction
Jaguar, a luxury car brand, has had a complex ownership history. While Ford did own Jaguar from 1990 to 2008, the current ownership of Jaguar is with Tata Motors, an Indian corporation. As for the use of Ford parts in Jaguar cars, there is some shared history between the two companies, but the extent of Ford parts in Jaguar vehicles has changed over time. Let’s explore this further.
Ownership History
Jaguar was purchased by Ford in 1990 and remained under Ford’s ownership until 2008 when it was sold to Tata Motors, an Indian corporation based in Mumbai. During Ford’s ownership, there was some sharing of design work and parts between Jaguar and Ford products. However, since the sale to Tata Motors, Jaguar is no longer owned by Ford.
Use of Ford Parts
While there was some sharing of parts between Jaguar and Ford during Ford’s ownership, the extent of Ford parts in Jaguar cars has changed over time. In the past, Jaguar used basic Ford engines for some of their models, such as smaller diesels, V6 petrol, and V8 engines. However, these engines were redesigned for Jaguar and shared most of the same basic components. It’s worth noting that the engines were assembled in the Ford Dagenham Engine Plant.
As for other parts, there were instances where certain hidden components, particularly electrical components, were sourced from Ford. However, the styling, suspension, cabin, and internal engine components were bespoke Jaguar. It’s important to note that the use of Ford components was aimed at making the cars more affordable and reliable, as long as the quality standards were met.
Since Tata Motors took ownership of Jaguar, the use of Ford parts in Jaguar cars has likely decreased. However, without more recent information, it is difficult to provide specific details on the current extent of Ford parts in Jaguar vehicles.
Conclusion
While Ford did own Jaguar from 1990 to 2008, the current ownership of Jaguar is with Tata Motors. During Ford’s ownership, there was some sharing of design work and parts between Jaguar and Ford products. This included the use of basic Ford engines that were redesigned for Jaguar, as well as some hidden components sourced from Ford. However, the extent of Ford parts in Jaguar cars has likely decreased since Tata Motors took ownership. For more specific information on the current use of Ford parts in Jaguar vehicles, it would be best to consult a Jaguar dealership or official sources.
