Jaguar Sets September 2026 Debut for Tri‑Motor Electric GT

The low-volume flagship tests a heritage-informed EV formula to relaunch Jaguar upmarket.

Overview

  • Jaguar confirmed its four-door grand tourer, derived from the Type 00 concept and known internally as X900, will headline a brand relaunch with a global reveal in September 2026.
  • The car uses an in-house tri‑motor setup targeting about 1,000 bhp and 1,300 Nm with a roughly 120 kWh battery aimed at about 700 km WLTP, or near 400 miles on the EPA cycle.
  • Engineers benchmarked classics such as the E‑Type, XJS, and a V12 XJ Coupe to recreate a calm, linear surge that feels V12‑like rather than an instant EV hit.
  • Jaguar says the hardware is finished and software is roughly 70% complete, with ongoing track and winter testing, air suspension with active dampers, all‑wheel steering, and 350 kW fast‑charging on the spec sheet.
  • First customer deliveries are planned for the first half of 2027, with pricing positioned above German premium brands and below ultra‑luxury rivals and an annual volume goal around 10,000 units.
