The EV Jaguar
 

Jaguar's concept for their upcoming EV rebrand have been leaked. I wanted to hate it, but I think the styling has some merit.

More pictures can be found in Wired's article linked here

Hmmm....I saw them on another forum and I think they are hideous. Besides the fact that I will never own a BEV, compared to almost any of their historical beautiful cars, these are uglier than the south side of a northbound cow....

D.

Yeah, the pics are just renderings. Looks like they will go with a traditional long hood, short rear deck platform. I can tell you from experience from driving the EV9, which is the Kia full sized 3 row all electric SUV, that there is nothing sporty about driving a 7,000 pound vehicle. Electric vehicles are fast, for sure, lots of torque to throw ya into the seat back, but ya definitely don't want to be throwing a 7,000-pound vehicle around like it's a sports car. Not saying they all weigh that much, just going off of what I have experienced with the EV9, and I'm not bashing EVs, they have their place and the EV9 is a very nicely appointed vehicle, so there's my disclaimer. Lol.
I'm not exactly sure what market Jaguar is going after.

I don't get why an EV needs a big, long, hood. It seems like a huge waste of space compared to the Honda 0 EV

Reminds me of a brick. A mauve brick. Or the block that cub scouts build a pinewood derby car from.

Yeah, that Jag doesn't look very aerodynamic to me. Seems they would round the corners off a bit to make it a little more slippery, ya know, something like this!!!

The ad seems a tad less insane after seeing that

Copy nothing.

And by “nothing,” they mean an MGB GT and a Z3 M Coupe.

I see some 944 there too.

Those look gay.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I still hope this is a joke.

Look at them yo-yo's. That's the way you do it.

I'm not worried for two reasons:
First, sneak preview images rarely provide an accurate depiction of the device imagined.
Second, never owned a Jag and never expect to.

Looks like Chrysler 300 meets clown shoe meets Cyber Truck meets graphics from 80s video games.

Surely it's a joke.

Love child of a Chrysler Crossfire and a Caddy.

Bingo

Somebody needs to warn those super trendy models not to touch the metal armrest in that hot Florida sun- they might get burnt.

I love it! It will be perfect parked next to my new Tesla Truck :D

Was this designed in India?

Looks like a cartoon villain’s car

Good luck with that…

i am certainly going to continue ignoring jags.

Is it meant to be a...

Laughing jag
Crying jag?

Or maybe for current classic Jaguar owners it instigates a ...

Drinking jag?

Jaguar has had a back shot of it on their website for some time.

Combined with some spy photo's of it in zebra camo gave me some expectations.

It's not as good as it could have been, but not as bad as it could be either.

Copy Nothing looks like a scam as this screams an E version of the Cadillac 16.

As for breaking moulds, well, it is unusual relative to what is in production today even if it isn't very original relative to cars of the past.

Can someone please embed this? And watch until then end :)

Say what you want, it's better than quite a few current cars.

I agree. It's not the worst thing out there. I was actually thinking about a thread titled "Quick- you need to buy an EV- Jag or Cybertruck?"

Just found out this isn't a production car.
Explains the interior.

Pity, was hoping to see one out driving.
What will actually go into production is a four door.

This Jaguar would have made an excellent Villian-Mobile.

If that's the best one can say about it, well...

The sketches are a joke, nothing to consider there.

This idiocy will kill off Jaguar, for sure.

Always wanted an XJ, never pulled the trigger on one. Killing off the company will end that possibility.

Yeah, it looks like something Cruella De Vil would drive.

all they have to do is convince some group of people that being uncool, is super cool.

like the cybertruck. the more negative backlash against it, the cooler the folks who love it think they are.

there is a very specific demographic of the world that negative feedback is their positive feedback, "triggering" people is their high, and their projection of everyone elses assumed emotional state is their reason and justification for doing something. even though no one feels the way they think they do about it.

again, cybertruck does this spades. its not that we are jealous, its just a ****ty truck. people who do real things with trucks know this. we dont mock it cause we want it, we feel sorry for you that you got trapped into buying one, and pretending its a good truck.

Jaguars were always artistic beauty combined with performance. This thing is a flop and all the management should be fired or quit. It's like watching an episode of "The Outer Limits" or "Twilight Zone" where they're in the future.

She is art though.

The fact that it has leaked via a tech site tells me all I need to know.
Like a lot of things in the creative arts these days, it’s…boring. Safe. Expected. Saddled with battery weight will ensure its place on instagram instead of the track. Sad.

Those sketches have absolutely nothing to do with what they are proposing to build.

Nada.

This is closer to what they will build based on the commercial…

Well aware of that-I’m in the field- but it’s a safe bet that what results will be just as “meh”.

I wonder if the company will survive long enough to even get the new car to market...

When was Jaguar last relevant anyway?

I think it's very clever, very strategic, ya know tapping into the gay market like that.

Jaguar are trying to get ahead of what's coming... There will be a whole bunch of changes in the automotive world over the next few years. Car companies that have been with us for decades will suddenly disappear.
