Chris Harris’ podcasts certainly garner the popular thinking on EV’s & new cars.
Appreciate the camo & strategically positioned padding but this does absolutely nothing for me. It never will do.
The days of a tantalising glimpse of ‘stocking top’ from a new car are gone. 2.5 tonnes of batteries, an iPad & silence, are lost on me.
Could not afford one anyway
Still love the Jaguar brand though & hope they make a success of it

Looks promising so far. So refreshing with a new car which isn't another bloated hatchback on stilts but seems to be properly designed with a low and wide three box structure. Possibly the first Jaguar since about a decade that actually looks like a Jaguar.
If they stick to the 100k price range it might actually be decent value for money in true Jaguar tradition, considering the laughable prices most manufacturers of exclusive cars are trying to charge these days.

The profile view has a nice form. It does seem a little compromised by "my chassis is a 6 inch deck of batteries".
I expect a much nicer grill - that looks like a placeholder.
It will be a lot more than 100k I'm sure.

Here's what Autocar think it could look like:
Guess we'll have to wait until 2 December, when "CEO Adrian Mardell pulls the wraps off a long-awaited show car at Miami Art Week, dubbed Design Vision Concept, as the first step in a ground-up overhaul of the Jaguar brand that's been in train since JLR's Reimagine strategy was detailed in 2021" (Autocar)
As JLR indicate 'above £100k' I'd say more like £150k at launch and will be up against some stiff competition from the likes of Bentley, Porsche, etc.

Autocar have gone for the 'paper shredder / basking shark' look. I'm glad they don't actually design cars.

You must have noticed the resemblance between EVs and office equipment.
For example if I had one of these I'd want a reg plate that reads PC LOAD LETTER

I'm just glad that they're not down an out. I really don't want to lose this brand.

I don't see paper shredder, I see barge.
They've gone back 75 years, to the times of the Mk7, which was a big, luxury barge.
It could be a really nice car.
For something like that I wouldn't care that it's electric. Ultimately effortless comfort and refinement are what that'll be about, not the growl of a V8 or V12, and that's what electric can do.

Looks more like an XJ. (And if a 2+2 then an 86 XJS).
It has four doors with land rover pop out handles.
I was expecting a sports car. That doesn't look like a sports car based on shape to me. And £100k+ yikes.

Jaguars days of sportscars are over. They're targeting a different sector and I think it's a brave move, the success of which is yet to be seen. I have no doubt that Jaguar has the capability of equaling and surpassing the Germans and their suedo-former-British-badge offerings, but it will come down to brand association.
If there's one kick-ass brand that deserves to rule it's Lexus but the public in general will en-mass choose a German brand over a Lexus, all things being equal.
Go Jaguar ...

Yep, Jaguar stated since long that the first new car will be a big four seater GT and there's never been any talk of any new sports car. I think there will be a sportier two seater car sooner or later too (G-Type ? 
).
Agreed that their success largely will depend on brand association. They have slowly been killing the brand during the last decade but there's hopefully still enough buyers who mainly associate the brand with something more exciting than dodgy four banger diesels, low rent interiors and school run SUVs.
Good point about Lexus. Quality and good engineering isn't everything. If it was, none of us would own an F-Type.
I guess too many still associate Lexus cars with the world's most reliable but also most dull brand. And the fact that they bizarrely enough never managed to design cars as well as the Germans, and in fact never produced one single really good looking model, certainly doesn't help.

I’d never heard of the brand, but I hope it doesn’t represent the pathway for either Jaguar, or some of their dealers adopted marques such as Omoda…
