Long bonnet and bold grille treatment will be key elements of upcoming Jaguars
Design Vision Concept will be unveiled at Miami Art Week and lay foundation for brand’s future
Jaguar’s long-awaited concept car has been leaked online ahead of its official unveiling overnight.
Images posted to online forum Coche Spias give a first look at the low, sleek electric GT car, which previews the design language that will define Jaguar’s three new-era EVs, beginning with a similarly proportioned luxury saloon next year.
The concept will be officially revealed at Miami Art Week overnight tonight (2-3 December).
Clearly, it is completely unrelated to any Jaguar model that has gone before – making good on the company’s ambition for its cars to be “a copy of nothing”.
Its monolithic, minimalist silhouette is defined by a long, probing bonnet, which calls to mind some of Jaguar’s biggest-engined past models and lends the concept a distinct cab-rear stance.
The A-pillars are effectively invisible and the side windows narrow towards the rear, giving the glasshouse a wraparound effect reminiscent of a racing helmet.
As revealed by Autocar previously, it has a bluff front end with a prominent ‘grille’ motif and a new lighting signature comprising ultra-slim LED strips at each edge.
The arches, meanwhile, are dramatically swollen to accommodate large-diameter, wide-set allow wheels – and the new Jaguar emblem features just aft of the front wheel on a gold panel, which houses a rear-view camera on each side.
It needs cameras because there is no rear window, as had been recently previewed by Jaguar, and the back end is dominated by a large vent-style pattern – one of the four defining motifs that form part of Jaguar’s new visual branding signatures.
These cues are set to feature prominently in the Jaguar’s upcoming four-door electric GT, which will be the first in a three-car line-up due from 2026.
The production car, which recently began road testing, will pack north of 575bhp and have a range of more than 430 miles. It will be priced in excess of £100,000, positioning it as a rival for the Porsche Taycan.
