Jaguar’s electric future: new illustration…
Last Updated:
While I posted an illustration of a possible upcoming Jaguar SUV a few days ago, apparently, a new electric sedan could be joining the lineup as well.
By now, we should be seeing these driving around: the next-generation XJ sedan. But that car was canceled in late 2021 at the last minute. Pretty much just weeks before its official unveiling. They even had teasers out already.
In a sharp turn, Jaguar decided to work on another more modern EV platform and move up in price. As I mentioned before, the new platform is called Panthera. And it was, until last summer at least, scheduled to be the base for 3 new SUVs. The first model will be from Range Rover in 2024. Then Jaguar in 2025. They still claim to be a full EV brand by 2025. With I guess can be achieved by killing all present models and only having the new one coming out in 2025. Unless they all of a sudden come up with multiple new models in one year?
At least this was still the plan in late October. Which is just a few days before the CEO left the company. So who really knows what’s going on there now…
Let’s just hope they stay around for a while at least. It would be nice to see what they have planned. And wouldn’t you like to see what that canceled electric XJ looked lie?
No reason Jaguar couldn’t be successful as an EV brand. Real cats are mostly silent anyway, right?
Jaguar needs to make their grilles less wimpy and cheap.
