Jaguar is pulling the plug on nostalgia as it gears up for an electrified future. According to an insider scoop from Autocar, a trio of futuristic electric vehicles (EVs) will roll out post-2025, with the next-generation XJ sedan at the forefront. These models are a far cry from Jaguar’s current fleet, including the outgoing I-Pace.

The range of the car will vary between 385 and 475 miles

Designed exclusively on Jaguar’s new JEA platform, the models will have nothing in common with the MLA architecture earmarked for Range Rover’s electric sibling. Gerry McGovern, the brand’s chief creative officer, emphasized, “We don’t want older-looking cars and newer-looking cars.”

Jaguar is not just focused on aesthetics. These EVs will pack a serious punch under the hood, boasting an output of at least 450 horsepower and a range between 385 and 475 miles. They also come equipped with all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, and fast-charging capabilities, allowing a 10 to 80 percent battery top-up in just 13 minutes.

If you’re expecting to see Jaguar’s iconic leaping cat emblem on these new models, think again. The brand is opting for its name spelled out in a fresh font, in line with what Land Rover has been doing. It’s clear that Jaguar is looking forward, not backward, even removing rear windows in favor of digital mirrors.

While the four-door GT is expected to be unveiled next year, details on the release of the XJ and the Bentley Bentayga-rivaling SUV remain under wraps. However, one thing is certain: by 2025, Jaguar’s current lineup will be a thing of the past, making room for a radically modern fleet that’s focused on innovation rather than tradition.

It’s an ambitious plan, with risks and rewards. But if Jaguar pulls it off, they could set a new standard for what a luxury electric vehicle should be, both inside and out. And for Jaguar, it seems there’s no better time than the future.
