Jaguar previews its answer to the Porsche Taycan
British premium brand’s relaunch to begin with a fast electric four-door GT; will be priced from $185K and offer a 700km rangeJaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced it will reboot the Jaguar brand with an all-new, all-electric four-door grand tourer that will rival the Porsche Taycan with a £100,000 ($A185,000) starting price and a driving a range of up to 700km.
A single digital teaser render released during JLR’s Reimagine presentation overnight shows the unnamed model will have a dramatic design including what looks like sharply creased, squared-off rear shoulders.
JLR announced its all-new electric GT will be built at its Solihull plant in the UK and based on a unique new platform architecture named JEA.
As well as beating its inaugural EV, the Jaguar I-PACE electric SUV, in terms of range (470km), the new GT will be capable of much faster charging with a 15-minute top-up said to add more than 320km of range.
According to JLR, more details of the new model will be released later this year before the all-new Jaguar GT goes on sale in 2024, ahead of first customer deliveries in 2025.
It’s rumoured the Jaguar GT will be the first model in an all-new three-vehicle line-up designed to revive the struggling brand before it goes all-EV by 2025.
While the XJ limousine has already been discontinued and the XE and XF sedans are expected to merge into one model, the future of the F-TYPE sports car and the I-PACE, E-PACE and F-PACE SUVs remains unknown at this stage.
JLR announced in the same presentation that customers will later this year be able to place a pre-order for the all-electric Range Rover, which will also be built at Solihull ahead of first deliveries in 2024.
Commenting on the incoming Jaguar four-door GT’s design, JLR’s chief designer Gerry McGovern, said: “We have radically reimagined Jaguar as a modern luxury brand. The key to Jaguar’s transformation is that the designs convey that they are a copy of nothing.”
As part of Jaguar’s reboot, JLR said that in future the British premium brand will be retailed alongside Range Rover and Land Rover at selected outlets, as is already the case with many of its dealerships in Australia.
