CAPTIVATING, COMPOSED, COMFORTABLE: JAGUAR LUXURY GT BEGINS LATEST SEASON OF WINTER TESTING
Jaguar takes its upcoming luxury four‑door GT prototype to Arjeplog for cold weather testing.
New Jaguar four‑door GT prototypes begin latest round of cold weather testing and calibration assessment in the Arctic Circle ahead of reveal later this year Seasonal testing on frozen lakes is part of the most comprehensive Jaguar development programme ever undertaken Engineers are tuning control systems of electric propulsion and chassis technologies to deliver true Jaguar dynamics, performance and comfort in all conditions
Prototypes of Jaguar’s new all‑electric luxury four‑door GT have begun their latest round of winter testing. Taking on extreme temperatures as low as minus 40°C in the Arctic Circle.
The new four‑door GT is undergoing the most rigorous global validation programme in Jaguar history, with 150 prototypes covering hundreds of thousands of miles across hot desert highways, frozen lakes and advanced virtual environments.
The demanding assessment schedule has been designed to push every system to its limits to deliver the most technically advanced and powerful Jaguar production car ever made. An unprecedented scale of testing for Jaguar, with the most comprehensive virtual and rig testing programme ever, prior to physical validation on the road.
Winter testing on the frozen lakes of Sweden is helping Jaguar engineers to refine the distinct characteristics of the four‑door GT’s drive modes to ensure it delivers instinctive responses and calming comfort. It will drive like no other electric car thanks to a suite of electric propulsion technologies. True to the spirit of Jaguar.
With more than 1,000PS, the new luxury GT will be the most powerful Jaguar road car ever made. Advanced all‑wheel‑drive tri‑motor technology with Intelligent Torque Vectoring puts the power where it’s needed more quickly and precisely than ever before, for an engaging, rewarding and confidence‑inspiring drive in all conditions.
Jaguar engineers will also be putting the finishing touches to a number of calibrations. Chassis systems, the all‑wheel steering, a bespoke new 23‑inch winter tyre, dynamic air suspension and active twin‑valve dampers – all working in harmony with the propulsion torque control. For supreme composure and ride comfort.
Jaguar has always been about driving pleasure and our new electric four‑door GT will be no different. It marks a step‑change in our technical ambitions. Innovative in‑house electric propulsion technologies combine with the car’s unique proportions and low centre of gravity for a luxurious grand tourer that drives like nothing else. Like a true Jaguar, it can be comfortable when you wish, is engaging to drive and, with more than 1,000PS, always has power in reserve.

The sub‑zero temperatures of the Arctic Circle also give Jaguar engineers the right conditions to validate its advanced ThermAssistTM technology. The pioneering onboard thermal management system reduces heating energy consumption by up to 40 per cent, and aims to recover heat to warm the propulsion system or cabin in ambient temperatures as low as minus 10°C (14°F). All while optimising the driving range, even in the coldest temperatures.
Our aim from the outset has been to deliver a true Jaguar driving experience and we have crafted a hugely desirable car that will be as captivating to drive as to look at.

- I'm so glad this just ooks like a normal four door gran coupe that could actually go into production. I hope Jaguar reverse their EV only strategy and start making ICE cars as well.- Epileptic seizure lawsuit waiting to happen and blow up the remaining stocks
Jaguars chrome dome is even smoother than the egg shapped ass of there OO's and with a personality more shallow than the plastic wheelcaps, and the pole going through the centure just shows how far the country bupkin is up his own ass whipping around telly tubbies
- The idiots that decided to stop making cars for a year and to wipe out the current range, and to then only make electric cars should all be named and sacked, then jailed. This car looks as ugly as the pink one we saw months ago. Jaguar has become such a laughing stock of the motoring World, that people will not want to buy one of the super overpriced ugly cars. I think jaguar will be no more in 2-3 years.
- Jaguar man, what have you done? You’ve made such a mistake how have you gone from being just beautiful amazing full of heritage to just kill it all gone done. I think it’s absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself. 👎
