Jaguar is one step closer to its transformation into an all-electric brand, with the company starting public road tests of its new electric prototype this week. The car has already undergone extensive virtual and physical testing, covering tens of thousands of miles, and will soon be tested globally on various public roads and test sites.
Prototype Testing on Public Roads
The electric car spotted in Britain is a camouflaged prototype of the upcoming production model. On December 2, during Miami Art Week, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will reveal a concept car that will showcase the future of the brand and its electric vision.
Electric Prototype Styling Details
The new Jaguar’s design remains largely hidden, but some key styling elements are visible. The car is confirmed to be a four-door GT, featuring an elongated bonnet, a rear-set cabin, and a sleek, coupe-like roofline with a flat boot lid. The front of the prototype has a large, rectangular grille-like piece, which Jaguar suggests will become a distinctive design element for the brand. This styling detail is likely a nod to the car’s future aesthetic, rather than a functional grille for cooling.
Technical Details of Jaguar’s Electric Prototype
The new electric car will be built on the Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA) and will be produced in Solihull, UK. Although specific technical details are still under wraps, the prototype’s features—such as a long bonnet, large tyres, and an upright nose—differ from the aerodynamically focused EVs common today. Reports suggest that the production model will have a range of over 700 km and a power output of around 580 horsepower. The car is expected to be priced from £100,000 (approximately ₹1 crore) in the UK.
Jaguar’s Potential India Plans
Currently, there is no official word on Jaguar’s plans for India. However, given Tata Motors’ ownership of the brand and its established operations in India, it’s likely that the new electric GT will eventually make its way to the Indian market after its global unveiling, which is anticipated in late 2025.
