The rebirth of Jaguar as a high-price, low-volume all-electric competitor to Bentley is nearing its subsequent section: the launch of its new flagship sedan.
Spied on the Nurburgring in Germany, the brand new sedan is clad in disguise tape. There’s additionally some false physique panels beneath hiding the automobile’s shoulder line, and the design across the C-pillar, the again of the roof, and the realm the place a rear windscreen space would usually reside.
Regardless of this, although, we are able to see the sedan may be very clearly patterned on the controversial 2024 Sort 00 idea. And regardless of being constructed on an all-new EV-ony platform, the brand new Jaguar has a really lengthy, flat bonnet that reduces cabin quantity considerably.
With its bluff entrance and rear ends, and brutalist proportions, it is going to be attention-grabbing to see how aerodynamically environment friendly the brand new Jag is.
Different particulars we are able to make out embrace tiny window apertures, equally small LED lights at each ends, frameless door home windows, and flush-fitting pop-out door handles.
One other spy picture company caught this prototype parked with its tiny rear hatch opened, revealing a really excessive load lip and a small however deep boot.
Just like the Polestar 4, the brand new Jaguar doesn’t have a rear windscreen, which means drivers might want to depend on the automobile’s cameras for rearward imaginative and prescient. If the Sort 00 idea is something to go by, the manufacturing automobile may have a body-colour panel rather than the rear windscreen, whereas the “grille” will probably be a washboard-like part stamped into the entrance bumper.

The brand new Jaguar sedan would be the first of three automobiles based mostly on the Jaguar Electrical Structure (JEA). The opposite two are anticipated to be an SUV, and a coupe/convertible pair.
Particulars in regards to the drivetrain are nonetheless beneath wraps, with the one confirmed particulars being a variety of as much as 700km, and the flexibility to realize 320km of vary in simply quarter-hour by way of a DC fast-charger.
Experiences point out the Jaguar sedan will characteristic a dual-motor all-wheel drive structure with round 735kW.

After many years of making an attempt to be the British BMW and failing, at the least on the gross sales charts, Jaguar Land Rover’s then CEO Thierry Bolore determined in 2021 to maneuver the model into Bentley territory, powered completely by electrical drivetrains.
Slowly the model’s fashions have gone out of manufacturing, abandoning the F-Tempo giant SUV in some markets to maintain the model’s gross sales ticking over till the brand new high-end EV fashions arrive.
It stays to be seen whether or not Jaguar can carve out a big sufficient area of interest on the top-end of the market to make it worthwhile for each JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) and mother or father Tata Motors.
Regardless of the Sort 00 idea and Jaguar’s rebranding drawing numerous criticism, incoming JLR CEO PB Balaji insisted the brand new fashions are going forward, stating in August: “We now have put our plans collectively, the automobiles are being revealed, they’re getting thrilling response from the shoppers on the bottom. Due to this fact that’s what the technique is.”
