Jaguar is charging forward into the electric future with the planned India launch of its first all-electric 4-door GT. Based on the stunning Type 00 concept, the luxury EV is expected to debut in global markets by late 2025, with an Indian rollout scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027. This marks a major milestone in Jaguar’s transition to an all-electric lineup, reaffirming the brand’s commitment to redefining luxury mobility.
Global Rollout in Phases
The new Jaguar EV will first make its appearance in key markets like the UK and USA, where the brand has a solid foothold. Speaking to Autocar India during the UK preview of the Type 00 concept, Jaguar MD Rawdon Glover confirmed that India is part of the second phase of the rollout.
“Late 2026 into early 2027 is when we should launch the 4-door in India,” he said, emphasizing the strategic importance of the Indian market.
A New Design Direction
The new Jaguar EV embodies the brand's bold shift in design philosophy. The Type 00 concept offers a glimpse into Jaguar’s vision for the future—a strikingly dramatic and flamboyant design that departs from the traditional elegance of its predecessors. Glover believes this new design language will resonate strongly with India’s elite luxury market, describing it as a “must-have vehicle for the elite Indian customer set.”
Repositioning the Brand
As Jaguar pivots to an electric-only future, the new 4-door GT is positioned to elevate the brand beyond its current "mass-premium" segment. While pricing details remain under wraps, the EV is expected to sit at the top end of the luxury spectrum. This aligns with Jaguar's strategy to reposition itself as a top-tier luxury automaker, appealing to discerning buyers who value cutting-edge design and sustainability.
Affordable Jaguars in the Pipeline
While the 4-door GT will serve as a flagship model, Glover hinted at more accessible electric Jaguars in the future. “There will be vehicles that will come after, that may perform a different role and target a wider audience,” he shared. These upcoming models will also align with Jaguar’s commitment to an all-electric lineup, offering a wider range of options for different customer segments.
India’s Growing EV Market
The Indian luxury EV market is expanding rapidly, and Jaguar’s bold move positions it as a strong contender. With its avant-garde design, technological innovation, and a renewed focus on exclusivity, Jaguar aims to capture the hearts of India’s affluent EV buyers.
Jaguar’s journey into its electric future is not just a reinvention—it’s a statement. The launch of this 4-door GT marks the beginning of a new era for the iconic brand.
