What Jaguar’s new EV sedan might look like. Or not…

While these new illustrations are very well done, they also seem completelly wrong. Jaguar‘s all new EV sedan will not look like this. At all. And it is already pretty obvious from the many, many spy shots we have seen of prototypes driving around for at least a year now.

The profile view of an actual prototype show a much more angular design than the illustrations. The rear fastback design is also very, very different. Windows of the real car are much narrower than the illustrations are showing.

The Concept version of the upcoming 00 Sedan was revealed over a year ago, in December 2024. Its production debut has been pushed back a bit to later this year. Although its base price is still rumored to be around $130,000. Which isn’t that insanely expensive these days…

Reactions to the concept have mostly been pretty negative. Which is not good news for Jag. However, it looks like the production car will not look as crazy as the concept. I guess showing the concept over a year early was part of making sure most people get used to the unorthodox shape. Helping the production design to be more acceptable to the masses. Well, at least the few who will actually buy one.

Jaguar has recently allowed a few journalists to ride in a couple of prototypes, and the “reviews” have so far been great.

This will undoubtedly be an amazing luxury sedan.

Still, the big question remains whether that will be enough in today’s crowded EV market. Jaguar is clearly aiming much higher than before, moving away from its traditional rivals and into a more exclusive segment. That alone makes this new sedan a huge gamble for the brand.

It will also be interesting to see how much of the concept’s interior makes it into production. The show car featured a very minimalist cabin with unusual materials and a futuristic layout. While impressive, some of that will have to be toned down for real-world use. Comfort, usability, and technology will matter just as much as design here.

And of course, performance figures are still mostly unknown. But expectations are high. This new EV will deliver strong range of around 450 miles, fast charging, and effortless 1000 HP. We are supposed to see the real thing in September. However, we might see a few more of these renderings before.
