• As part of its transition to an electric brand, Jaguar is preparing a GT model to rival Porsche’s Taycan.
Jaguar, whose models are still mainly powered by combustion engines, will have to turn radically electric by 2026. Nevertheless, the company is optimistic about the scale of the task, even if it will require nothing less than developing a new business model. The future range will launch with a GT model rivaling the Porsche Taycan. The concept for that future model is set to be unveiled in December. After that will come an SUV similar in size to the Bentley Bentayga, and finally by a large four-door executive sedan scheduled for 2029.This new range should be very different from the I-Pace SUV, Jaguar's pioneering electric vehicle. Design-wise we can expect with a more prominent nose - a rarity in current automotive design.
Despite the end of production of the I-Pace, Jaguar says it’s proud of its iconic model. Managing Director Rawdon Glover told Autocar he believes that “without having made the I-Pace, we might not have been able to achieve in time. It has helped us to learn directly about electric vehicles – whether it’s the nuts and bolts, or the task of creating a customer journey and actually launching an electric car.”Jaguar is preparing a difficult transition period before the launch of new electric models.
