Jaguar Land Rover Unveiled its latest offering, 4-door GT EV having 430 mile range
Previous year, the automaker has stated, Jaguar’s F-type Sports car would be discontinued after the 2024 model year, as the company would be shifting its focus towards Electric Vehicles
Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled its lates offering in EV Market with the launch of a 4-door GT EV.
The ultraluxury GT would be the 1st of three luxury electric cars and it would be manufactured in Solihull in the UK. The carmaker boast that the FT would have more power output than any previous Jaguar, but has not yet disclosed the details of the powertrain.
Professor Gerry McGovern, OBE, is of the opinion, the design of the new vehicle is the result of radical reimagination of Jaguar as a modern luxury brand.
The company's goal is to convey that the designs are a copy of nothing and this is reflected in the sleek modern design of the GT.
The EV GT would have a range of nearing to 430 miles (700 km) and it would be built on a new platform called Jaguar Electrified Architecture (JEA). This platform would be announced that it would only sell EV's after 2025, investing £1 billion into JEA. The price tag of the new GT would begin at a hefty £100,000 ($124,200), thus making it an expensive option for luxury car buyers. However, the carmaker hopes to attract a niche market of the affluent buyers who are looking for a high-performance EV.
Jaguar makes announcement about indicative Pricing
Jaguar has made an announcement about "indicative Pricing of nearing £100,000 for their upcoming four-door GT EV, which is almost equivalent to nearing $124,000 at current exchange rates. However, the above pricing might be subject to change closer to the launch date in the year, 2024 and deliveries are not scheduled to begin until 2025. The Ultraluxury Gt would be manufactured AT Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull factory in the United Kingdom and it is expected to make its debut later this year. It has got impressive power output and range of nearing to 430 miles, the GT is all set to be one of the most powerful as well as advanced electric vehicles on the market.
As the carmakers move towards the production of the electric Vehicles (EVS) it is crucial that they equip their workers having essential skills to build as well as maintain these new types of vehicles. This shift also help raise concern that the reduction in the number of moving parts in EV could lead to decline in well-paid manufacturing jobs in the auto industry, especially in engine and transmission
