Jaguar Cars was previously owned by which car manfacturer?

Jaguar Cars was previously owned by Ford, who acquired the British luxury car manufacturer in 1989. Ford's main reason for acquiring Jaguar was to strengthen their position in the high-end automotive market and expand their portfolio of luxury vehicles. Ford invested substantial resources into Jaguar, hoping to rejuvenate the brand and increase competitiveness. However, the ownership tenure was marked by mixed results, challenges, and increased competition from other luxury car manufacturers. In 2008, Ford sold Jaguar to Tata Motors, an Indian automotive manufacturer, leading to a new chapter for the iconic brand.
