JAGUAR WINDSOR
Hogging the limelight in the Jaguar cars' news, the I-Type marks a new beginning for the brand, which is planning to replace its entire range and introducing an arsenal of luxury EVs. In terms of styling, the I-type will draw its cues from the brutalist Type 00 concept but will adopt the intimidating appearance of a four-door grand tourer body. The large-bodied Jag has trained all its focus on design, attempting to resonate with a younger, flashier audience that the company believes makes more "emotional" decisions based on factors such as appearance, brand, and experience.
The new next-gen Jaguar electric car will employ electric powertrains. Also, the I-type will be the first car to be constructed using the automaker's latest electric underpinnings. The big sedan will aim to validate the brand's decision to leave its heritage behind, upscale itself, and transition entirely to electric.
The I-type will be built on an all-new platform that will support a range of electric Jaguars over the next few years, with an SUV version potentially following.
The I-type will have at least two motors in its electric powertrain, making it an all-wheel drive and suitably robust. Jaguar is also aiming for an EPA-estimated range of up to 430 miles. Fast charging is a priority, with Jaguar believing it can enable the I-type to charge up to 200 miles in 15 minutes using a Level 3 DC fast charger.
