New Delhi: Jaguar had in the past pushed back the global debut of their new four-door electric grand tourer from 2025 to this year, and now it is learnt that it is set for this September. As per media reports, the delay was triggered due to a cyberattack, which forced the automaker to halt production at its Solihull facility, where the upcoming Jaguar EV, previewed as the Type 00 concept, will be produced.
The Jaguar GT will come with a triple motor configuration with peak performance standing at 1,000 bhp, and 1,300 ˜m of torque. It also comes with torque vectoring to manage power across the wheels. Apart from this, it also gets air suspension and twin-valve active dampers, which should enhance the ride comfort experience.
What is expected from the Jaguar four-door electric GT
Jaguar might give the GT a 700 km range
According to Autocar UK, it will deliver about 700 km of range on a single charge. In terms of exterior, it will take design cues from the Type 00 concept, with an upright nose, a long flat bonnet, a sloping roofline and a short rear deck, giving it a very GT-like stance.
The design language has been quite controversial for Jaguar fans, but so has the brand’s stance. Jaguar pulled the plug on every model on sale, with the Jaguar F-Pace being the last vehicle to be rolled out of their line last December. The brand wanted to revitalise its lineup completely.
With their design boss, Gerry McGovern, out of the picture, there is a chance that the design language of the GT product that will ultimately hit the streets will differ, hopefully towards a positive side. The GT from Jaguar will become the first car to come in their revamped line, with the brand currently not selling anything.
