Jaguar is taking a bold new direction, and the first sign of its future EV only serves to prove it. A thoroughly camouflaged test prototype was recently seen being tested, and the pictures from it suggest a bold design unlike anything currently on our roads. Jaguar’s new car, due to be launched in 2026, is evidence of Jaguar’s entry into ultra-luxury, placing it more alongside Bentley than battling BMW and Mercedes.
Originally teased last year as the Type 00 concept, the concept vehicle was recently spotted at Paris Fashion Week, where it indicated the direction of the new design philosophy of the brand. The prototype, which was covered, presents a sweeping, dramatic shape recalling those of old-school grand tourers.
As opposed to Jaguar’s designs prior, the model here has an extended hood, although this will not be containing a traditional combustion engine. The final production version is expected to be unveiled later this year, marking the beginning of a bold new chapter for the British marque.

Jaguar is becoming all-electric, and this vehicle is the first of its EV-only future. The brand has phased out nearly all of its internal combustion cars already, with only the F-Pace remaining in production.
An ambitious reinvention
Jaguar has publicly admitted that its aggressive reimagining stands to lose as many as 85 per cent of current customers. The company is banking on a new segment keen to splurge crores on an electric luxury vehicle. Jaguar’s sales collapsed in 2024 to just 33,000 units worldwide—a staggering 82 per cent decline from 2018. The company remains committed to its strategy, betting on luxury and design over mass appeal.

The new grand tourer will be succeeded by a top-of-the-line SUV and an executive luxury sedan. These will again position Jaguar solidly in the premium EV segment, ensuring its place in the evolving car world.
