Jaguar, which has introduced a new, stylised logo – dropping the famed "growler" big cat emblem – is accelerating down an unconventional path and has chosen a very different type of event to launch its new concept model: an art show rather than a motor show.
Jaguar aims to launch three new models when it gets back on the road in 2026. Yes, it’s going to be completely off the road in 2025.
First off the starting block will be a four-door GT Tourer designed for high speed and long-distance driving. That will be followed by an all-new saloon car and then an SUV. There may even be a sports car on its way for buyers who prefer staying on the fast track.
There’ll also be one other big difference from before: each vehicle will be priced at over £100,000 (current models sell at around $89,000). Glover’s confident that the cars will be “modern icons” and will join Jaguar’s most glorious marques like the E-Type and the XJS.
