Jaguar’s new electric prototype hits public roads for testing

ABU DHABI: Jaguar has started its all-electric production car’s global testing phase marking a key milestone in the Reimagine strategy of the brand. The four-door GT’s prototypes are currently being tested in the UK on public roads, with plans for further trials in test sites and cities worldwide.

The new Jaguar prototype is heavily camouflaged, but its proportions are unclear, exuding a 4-door GT design with a coupe-like roofline and an elongated bonnet. It features a flat-deck boot lid and a rear-set cabin with an upright nose and large tyres. 

At the front, a prominent grille-like piece can be clearly seen, likely a styling cue and not a functional feature for cooling. As per the Autocar UK reports, it is suggested that this will introduce as part of the refreshed brand identity of Jaguar a distinctive new grille motif.

The new Jaguar electric car will be based on the Jaguar Electric Architecture platform at Solihull, UK. Even though it has an unconventional design with large tyres and an upright nose, it’s anticipated to offer over 700 km of range and 580 hp. 

While Jaguar has not confirmed other technical details, the EV is likely to be priced at around £100,000 (AED 463,493.81). 

The new Jaguar electric car concept will be revealed on December 2, 2024, at Miami Art Week with the debut of the Design Vision Concept. This concept will offer an insight into the future of the brand, highlighting the commitment of Jaguar to sustainability, luxury, and innovation as it gets ready to take charge of the electric revolution.
