First Teaser Shots of Jaguar Electric GT Emerge

Words NZ Autocar | Images Autocar UK, Auto Express

The new four-door Jaguar electric GT is advancing apace, caught in camo testing on British roads. The Taycan rival is a circa $NZ300k four-door GT that will have an official reveal midway through 2025. Customer deliveries begin in the second half of 2026. This is the first all-new Jaguar since I-Pace launched in 2018.

Big and brawny electric four-door GT is testing on UK roads.

Jaguar recently announced that it is ending UK sales of all its current vehicles. It is preparing to launch a totally new line-up of high-end luxury electric models. F-Pace production is continuing for other markets in the meantime.

The images reveal a large low slung saloon with a long bonnet and cab rearward stance. That’s in marked contrast to the SUVs and sedans that recently ended production. Dimensions appear similar to those of the large electric saloon Jaguar was working on but axed in 2021. However, this newcomer bears no other similarities to that vehicle. 

Not so different shot but plunging roofline evident.

A bluff front end contrasts with the curvy style of old. There look to be long slim headlights, evidently comprising a group of LED strips. No rear shots are to hand. However, there seem to be pronounced haunches, a wide wheelbase and a tapering coupe-style roofline. Electric Jaguars will feature an all-new face with a mock ‘grille’ and a novel Jaguar badge. At the rear, it is thought there will be no screen and a digital rear view mirror instead.

Jaguar is being secretive about the interior but it is expected to be minimalist with a widescreen format up front. Rear seat refinement is evidently a focal point, with screens on the backs of the front seats, charging ports and the like. No doubt this is a tilt to the Chinese market. 

The four-door GT will be the first car to utilise Jaguar’s new Electric Architecture (JEA). The electric platform will form the basis of three new models in the brand’s upward move to a luxury high-end electric car maker. 

An Autocar UK render of what the vehicle will eventually look like.

This new car will likely be built at JLR’s Solihull plant, have power exceeding 430kW and a range in excess of 650km. A “Design Vision Concept” car previewing this new GT and others in the line-up is evidently unveiling at Miami Art Week in a little over a fortnight. 

JLR CEO, Adrian Mardell, commented that the next phase in the transformation of Jaguar will “be incredible, jaw-dropping and copy nothing”. 

And this is what some think the rear end will resemble.

He added that he has “never been more confident in Jaguar in the past 25 years, in what Jaguar needs to be, the client base it needs to seek and what it needs in order to be successful”.

Following the GT, Jaguar is thought to be working on a sportier, lower riding, more aerodynamic four-door model. And then it is thought the requisite SUV will debut in 2027.
