Rodon Glover, CEO of Jaguar, confirmed that the brand will not return to internal combustion or hybrid engines. Instead, it will move forward with a platform designed exclusively for EVs.

    Unlike some brands adjusting their approach due to market uncertainty, Jaguar is doubling down on its commitment, ensuring its future lineup remains purely electric.

    The new electric sedan, expected to be called the I-Type, promises remarkable performance:

    • Maximum speed of 257 km/h.
    • Top trim level producing up to 986 horsepower.
    • A design inspired by the Type 00 concept but modified into a four-door luxury sedan.

    Glover described the I-Type as “the most enjoyable car” he has driven during his tenure, highlighting its acceleration, handling, and road presence. He expressed particular amazement at how effortlessly the car delivers power while maintaining a refined and luxurious driving experience.

    A Luxury Performance Sedan with a High Price Tag

    Jaguar’s upcoming electric sedan is designed to compete with the top luxury EVs in the market, including models from Tesla and Porsche. It aims to combine high performance with elegant design and advanced technology, appealing to buyers who want both speed and sophistication.Jaguar Cars

    The production version of the I-Type will closely resemble the Type 00 concept but with important modifications. One key change is the addition of two extra doors, transforming it from a sleek coupe-style concept into a true four-door luxury sedan.

    The Jaguar I-Type is set to enter production in late 2025, with the first deliveries expected to begin shortly after. Pricing will start at approximately SAR 480,000 ($128,000), placing it in the premium segment of the electric vehicle market.

    Jaguar’s commitment to EVs is clear, and with nearly 1,000 horsepower under the hood, the I-Type could become one of the most thrilling electric sedans available. Its combination of speed, performance, and luxury makes it a bold statement in Jaguar’s all-electric future.
