The car was originally scheduled to launch by the end of 2025, but the unveiling has now been delayed.
Jaguar I-Type Electric GT: Jaguar’s Electric Starts a New Direction
Jaguar has been working on a complete overhaul of its brand identity for the past few years. With a new “Jaguar” script, a new circular “Jr” logo, and an updated “Leaper” badge, the company has made its new identity more modern and attractive. The Type 00 concept, shown last year, was part of this transformation, offering a glimpse into the coming electric era.
Although the design has received mixed reactions from auto experts, the company’s Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, says they stand by the design and will not make any changes.
Jaguar I-Type Electric GT: Delays in Technology and Systems, Not Design
This Jaguar project is currently experiencing a slight delay, the reason for which is not design issues, but a recent cyberattack on the company’s IT and manufacturing systems. It is reported that many of the company’s plants and servers were shut down for nearly a month due to this cyberattack, impacting the production schedule.
Jaguar I-Type Electric GT: Power, Performance, and Price
Jaguar’s new I-Type electric GT will be a car full of luxury and performance. Its starting price is estimated to be around $130,000 (approximately ₹1.08 crore). In this price range, it will compete directly with the Porsche Taycan, BMW i7, Audi e-tron GT, and the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT EV.
This electric GT is expected to feature the company’s new ultra-high-performance battery system and dual-motor setup, which will provide excellent acceleration and range. Reports suggest the car will be able to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in under 4 seconds.
When will it be launched and when will bookings open?
According to Jaguar’s plan, the production version of this electric GT will be introduced in early 2026, with deliveries expected to begin by the end of that year. The company will open bookings simultaneously with the unveiling.
The Jaguar I-Type is not only the company’s first major step towards electric mobility, but it will also present a new challenge in the luxury electric segment. With its powerful design, performance, and price, this car will certainly make a mark in the EV market.
