New Jaguar GT: first look inside the futuristic 1000 cv electric saloon

A great deal has already been said about the new Jaguar. The British brand has made a clean break with its past and taken a strategic pause - it enters 2026 without any new models to sell - so that, when it returns, it can do so as a completely different marque, with a new market position and an all-electric line-up.

Its first model was previewed by the Type 00 concept, and the production car has been disclosed gradually. Known for now simply as the Jaguar GT, this electric saloon with more than 1000 cv - which we have already experienced from the passenger seat - is due to be unveiled in the summer.

Final specifications are still to be confirmed, but Jaguar has just lifted the veil a little further by letting us glimpse several cabin details.

Inside the Jaguar GT: a radical new cabin direction

Any uncertainty about the route Jaguar intends to take disappears the moment you look inside this new GT. The design language moves completely away from what we associate with the British brand: rather than classic, elegant surfaces, the atmosphere mirrors the exterior, led by straight lines, geometric forms and an unmistakably more futuristic approach.

Steering wheel, stalks and the move away from physical controls

The steering wheel is arguably the most striking feature. It uses broad horizontal spokes that incorporate haptic or touch-sensitive controls. That choice strengthens the car’s overall minimalism, but it also raises questions about ergonomics - especially as several manufacturers have begun returning to physical buttons for that very reason.

The controls behind the wheel are also unconventional. There are two large, angular levers, handling the usual tasks such as lighting, windscreen wipers and gear selection.

Screens, infotainment and climate control

From what we can make out, the rest of the dashboard continues the minimalist theme. A curved display dominates, combining the driver instrumentation and the infotainment system, complemented by a smaller central screen that may be dedicated exclusively to the climate-control system.

Jaguar appears to be following the trend towards fully digitised cabins, leaning into minimalism and technology - an approach that may split opinion when it comes to ease of use. Will it persuade existing customers, or win over new ones?

It remains to be seen whether this very different take from what was traditionally typical of Jaguar can attract a new audience for the brand, which is set to be positioned much higher up the market.

What else?

Beneath the prototype camouflage, the British brand’s new GT hides a three-motor electric set-up - one motor on the front axle and two at the rear - delivering more than 735 kW (1000 cv), making it the most powerful road-going Jaguar ever.

It will be built on the new Jaguar Electrified Architecture (JEA) platform, developed exclusively for electric vehicles, with an 800 V electrical architecture. In practical terms, that should allow it to regain around 320 km of range in just 15 minutes. Maximum range is expected to be close to 700 km (WLTP), thanks to a huge battery of approximately 120 kWh.

On the technical side, the Jaguar GT will also feature four-wheel steering, dynamic air suspension and new active dual-valve dampers.

Countdown

All signs point to the new electric Jaguar GT making its public debut this summer, with deliveries beginning in early 2027.

And because its positioning has moved into the luxury segments, the price is expected to rise with it, with estimates suggesting it could reach the market at around €150,000.
