Jaguar Land Rover, soon to be known simply as JLR, has outlined its latest all-electric vehicle ambitions. Several new fully electric Jaguar vehicles are slated for launch in the next few years, including a new four-door GT sedan. The upcoming Jaguar sedan will rival the future Chevy Corvette EV.
The upcoming all-electric Jaguar four-door GT sedan will be the first of three reimagined modern luxury electric Jaguar models, and will be built in Solihull, U.K. Peak output is expected to be “more than any previous Jaguar,” with a range-per-charge figure of roughly 430 miles. The upcoming Jaguar EV sedan will also ride on a new unique architecture dubbed JEA. Pricing will start around £100,000, or about $125,000 at current exchange rates.
Jaguar states that further details on the new four-door GT model will be released later this year, with sales slated for select markets during the 2024 calendar year. Client deliveries are expected by 2025.
The new all-electric Jaguar sedan is only one of many new EV models that JLR plans to launch over the course of the next few years. The automaker has announced it will invest £15 billion ($18.65 billion at current exchange rates) over five years, with funds directed towards the automaker’s industrial footprint, vehicle programs, personal development, and new technology, including autonomous tech, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies. JLR’s manufacturing plants will be converted to all-electric production, including maker’s Halewood plant in Merseyside, U.K.
Meanwhile, for those who may have missed it, GM will electrify the Chevy Corvette brand with the introduction of a new all-electric Corvette sedan. Likely riding on the GM BEV3 architecture and motivated by next-generation GM Ultium batteries and GM Ultium Drive motors, the upcoming Corvette EV sedan is expected to be one of several new Corvette EV products coming down the pipe, with a new all-electric Corvette crossover also expected sometime in the relatively near future.

Has GM made a formal news release stating an EV Corvette sedan is forthcoming? Or is it still speculation based on rumors?
GM has only confirmed that there will be a future EV Corvette.
The rest is all speculation but if GM is interested in expanding globally again, it makes the most sense to not use the Chevy brand and utilize sub-brands instead and to lean into models that have higher profit-margins.
Thanks for verifying what I was thinking.
This story is filled with unconfirmed data and its only purpose is to stir up the uninformed.
Cadillac first needs to be built out with a full spectrum of EVs. Then make sure Buick gets a covered. Then fill out Chevy and GMC with all necessary models. Once that’s all completed, then let’s consider alternative Corvette models to fill in the spaces Cadillac doesn’t need to compete in.
But is Cadillac to fill the role if higher profits and should be targeting Jaguar?
Now you have or Vette competing with Cadillac. That has been GMs problem for years as Divisions competed with each other vs working together as one large corporation.
With all this talk of multiple Corvette branded vehicles, it’s time just to kill the Chevrolet brand since they clearly have no clue what they are doing in terms of marketing! Why would anybody buy one of those ugly EVs badged “Equinox” or “Blazer” if they’ve got the opportunity for a Corvette branded model from the same brand? If they’re going to have yet another brand they never should have got rid of the Pontiac brand as their performance division if you’re going to split Chevrolet basically as two divisions anyways! I mean who wouldn’t rather have a Corvette pickup than a Chevy Silverado? Oh wait, we all know that they’re just Chevys either way!
Because Pontiac was always just a domestic brand and aside from Knight Rider, had no international image at all. As an Aussie, having lost Holden, I sympathise. Chevrolet, Cadillac and Corvette are known globally and will work fine provided they all have their distinct flavors and don’t step on the other brands. A Corvette suv should be as different to a Cadillac suv as a Ferrari purosangue is to a Bentley Bentayga. I can definitely see this is the way it will all go.
Too late for either one of these brands by the time 2025 rolls around. Neither one of these vehicles will have any meaningful market share in the higher end of the EV market in NA. What are the forecasted production numbers? Will they be relevant in China, the largest car market in the world, where neither one currently have any meaningful share and would be fighting against a slew of high quality Chinese brands and Tesla Plaids. No. Niche player on the margins at best.
