2026 Jaguar EV sedan.

These new illustrations show what a production version of last year’s Jaguar Type 00 Concept could look like. And it’s a pretty scary future for Jaguar…
While the car in the images seems clumsy, and yes, ghastly, it actually seems pretty close to the spy shot of the real car we’ve also seen before. And of course, heavily influenced by the very controversial concept.
So far, Jaguar has been referring to it as a Sport sedan. Not really a replacement for the old XJ. The illustration shows a horrendous visibility from these super narrow windows. For that “tank-like feeling” most luxury car buyers crave, I guess. I mean it almost looks like a joke.
The new sedan is rumored to offer “at least” 300 miles of range for a price of around $200,000. Which isn’t that great and far less than what Lucid has been offering for years. For far less money.
The concept was a very radical change for the Jaguar brand but not the craziest concept ever. The production model will also have 4 proper doors.
The concept interior also looked like a typical concept interior design. And it’s really hard to tell what will make it into the transition to a production car.
The camouflage on the prototype is pretty heavy, and the final production version could still look good.
But if the final car looks like this, this is pretty much the end of Jaguar…
The 4-door GT is the first of three Jaguars, according to reports, and the other two look to be even larger models, a stately sedan and an SUV. This looks sizable with nice proportions as it is, and not something conservative or ordinary. The production Type 00 is not the successor for the XJ. I’m looking forward to what Jaguar has is store, and moving top-tier to Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Aston-Martin! The other day, I saw and old X-type compact (the one based on the front-drive Ford Contour chassis when Jaguar was a division of Ford’s PAG) in a parking lot, that I was parked next to. It seemed so small, humble and insignificant and did not evoke luxury. I hadn’t seen one in a while, and I forgot how small they were. Now Jaguar is moving to where it should be!
