Imposing, massive, in the shape of a coupé or perhaps a sedan shooting brake. The Jaguar of the future is seen for the first time on the road like this, heavily camouflaged, while engaged in what should be one of the first testing sessions in England.
Of this car and more generally of reset of the Jaguar brand announced and planned in 2021 we are talking with growing insistence because the next one December 2on the occasion of Miami Art Weekthe first model that will give life to the “new species” made up of a total of three cars should be previewed.
And the specification new species it must be taken literally, we remember, because the English brand will be affected by an operation total repositioning.
From premium to luxury cars
To explain in simple words what will happen, Jaguar, as a premium brand competing with the various BMWs, Audis etc. will turn into luxury brand ready to compete with Bentley, Maserati, Porsche and company. The technological contents, performance and obviously prices will rise accordingly as we anticipated last July in an interview Rawdon GloverManaging Director del brand.

The economic order of magnitude is 120-130mila eurobut even more important will be the stylistic revolution. In this regard, we report a passage from Glover’s words on stile:
It has substantial road presence. In terms of proportions it is very far from what we do today. To get there I divided the design team into 3 groups. In the space of three months they produced 17 full-size models with different design languages, some were familiar, others looked like something out of science fiction films. The stylistic language we chose is exuberant. Just think of something that will be really different on the road. And in December we will reveal our new design language.
Don’t be fooled by the radiator…
Looking at the spy photos it is difficult to get a more precise idea, but what is actually striking are the proportions, with a very long snout and an incredibly high waistline.

Among other things, note the presence of the grille: it looks like a huge radiator, but it has no reason to exist since the car will be 100% electric. So much so that by enlarging the image you can glimpse the charging port located on the right side of the car at the height of the front wheel.
