When Jaguar relaunches with its all-electric lineup in 2025, the traditional leaper logo will be gone from all new cars. Instead, the cars will feature “J-A-G-U-A-R” spelled out on the front and rear. This significant rebranding aligns with Jaguar’s new strategy to move upmarket and compete with luxury brands like Bentley.
Jaguar’s new electric lineup will include three main models: a large, luxurious electric saloon, a Bentley Bentayga-sized flagship SUV, and an imposing limousine inspired by the XJ, but heavily redesigned to be more luxurious and larger.
New Electric Saloon
Jaguar is preparing to launch a large, lavish electric saloon as an indirect replacement for the XJ EV. This four-door GT, expected to be the most powerful Jaguar ever, will have a range of up to 430 miles and will be based on Jaguar’s new Electric Architecture (JEA). It is expected to start at around $125,000 and will be available for customer deliveries starting in 2025.
Pricing and Features
The three new models are expected to be priced between $100,000 and $125,000. They will come equipped with advanced features such as four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, and ultra-fast charging capabilities, allowing for a 10 to 80% top-up in just 13 minutes.
Performance Details
Each model will produce no less than 450 BHP, sprint from 0 to 62 mph in between 3.0 and 3.8 seconds, and have a top speed of 155 mph. The expected range for these vehicles is between 385 miles and 475 miles on a single charge.
In addition to these models, Jaguar is focusing on sustainability, utilizing recycled materials for vehicle construction and integrating cutting-edge technologies such as 800-volt fast charging and cloud connectivity. The company aims to balance quality over volume, with a target of around 50,000 sales per year.
Expected 0-60 Time
The 2025 Jaguar XJ EV is expected to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds, highlighting its high-performance capabilities. It will feature all-wheel drive and offer a range of up to 434 miles on a single charge. This electric luxury sedan will be built on Jaguar’s new Electric Architecture (JEA) platform, designed for advanced features and fast charging, as part of Jaguar’s transition to an all-electric lineup.
Competitors to consider
The 2025 Jaguar XJ EV will compete against several high-end electric sedans. One primary competitor is the Mercedes-Benz EQS, which offers luxury and advanced technology. The EQS features a range of up to 478 miles, produces up to 516 horsepower, and accelerates from 0-60 mph in about 4.1 seconds.
Another key rival is the BMW i7, which also focuses on luxury and performance with a range of around 300 miles, over 500 horsepower, and a 0-60 mph time of approximately 4.5 seconds.
Additionally, the Porsche Taycan targets a sportier segment with its electric powertrain delivering up to 750 horsepower in the Turbo S variant, a 0-60 mph time of just 2.6 seconds, and a range of about 227 miles. The upcoming Audi e-tron GT and the new generation all-electric Maserati Quattroporte will also be direct competitors, offering high performance, luxury, and advanced electric vehicle technology, positioning themselves similarly in the luxury EV market.
Price
The 2025 Jaguar XJ EV, part of Jaguar’s all-electric relaunch, is expected to start at around $125,000. It will be positioned as a luxury sedan to compete with high-end models like the BMW i7 and Mercedes-Benz EQS. The new XJ EV will feature Jaguar’s new Electric Architecture (JEA), with a range between 385 and 475 miles, and capabilities like 10-80% charging in just 13 minutes. The interior will emphasize minimalism, featuring touchscreens and sustainable materials, aligning with Jaguar’s shift towards a modern, eco-friendly design ethos.
Jaguar will offer different trim levels for the XJ EV, starting with a base model equipped with all-wheel drive and producing at least 450 horsepower. Higher trims are expected to add more luxury and performance features, potentially driving the price upwards towards $158,000.
Release Date
The 2025 Jaguar XJ EV is set to be unveiled in late 2024 and will start arriving in showrooms early in 2025. This new electric luxury sedan will feature Jaguar’s latest Electric Architecture (JEA), offering a range of up to 765 km (475 miles) and ultra-fast charging that can top up from 10-80% in just 13 minutes.
The XJ EV will combine cutting-edge technology with a sleek, minimalist design, including ultra-slim LED lights and a reimagined grille. Inside, it will feature advanced tech, high-quality sustainable materials, and a focus on luxury and comfort.
