I have watched a few of these “auto reviewers” presenting this travesty of a car and not one of them has any criticism or balance as Jeremy Clarkson would certainly have. They are all sycophant fanboys who just want to make sure they are invited to car reveals and will clap along like jesters without any proper critique, all perfectly repeating exactly the same talking points that Jaguar told them to repeat. “The impossible panel”.. no one hase mentioned that it will be impossible to repair and a prang there will be an insurance write off.

- I know the thought is to get away from the past, but with XJ's you always knew what they were as they were different from everything. This is just a box that'll look dated very quickly, in fact, to me it almost looks dated before it has even launched. Some nice features inside but not exactly revolutionary.
- He did a good selling job, but the massive size overall from the outside, looks very snug inside, and the boot seems so small, I think overall I like it, I don’t think I will be trading my Lada in just yet !!
- Hmm, it was a bit of a shock when I first saw it, but now I’m actually beginning to like it. I wish they could have hidden those large charging port doors. Genesis was genius in how they did this with the GV70 electric vehicle
- A vastly better 'futuristic' design than the Cybertruck. But it also feels monumentally impractical and claustrophobic inside. I still don't know who this car is made for. The depreciation will likely go through the floorboards like the Cybertruck and Taycan.
- Jaguar is no more in my home city! Dealership saw the light and said I'm out! Ps. This car is just fugly, this brand is done. Who is going to buy this thing? Another question....are there tax credits to be bought or is there some other unseen value from shutting a brand/company down?
- Ignoring the interior, the logo and the lack of storage space for a grand touring car, having no rear view is a big problem. Depending on electronics for visual safety cues and situational awareness is just not very safe or practical. I’ll give them props for actually trying something different and committing to it. As a design experiment and a concept I don’t think it’s the worst I’ve see, but that logo absolutely kills me to no end.
- From an JAGUAR X-TYPE owner. Can you not learn from your own lessons? As an architect I can obviously help you. Spend your money on designing a JAGUAR which resembles a JAGUAR and include the traditional jaguar emblem and leaper emblem on different areas on the car. You will experience an immediate 180 degree turn in your extremely bad sales performance. I will not even consider your modern JAGUAR again which I cannot distinguish between a Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Toyota and Ford. I want a JAGUAR which look like a JAGUAR. SCHLUSS
- Total farce - for anyone wanting to study the downfall of a motoring icon Jaguar is surely it - how it’s gone from Lemans glory with D types and other models , to selling stunning cars like the D type , XKss , E type , even some of the later jags were great looking cars , to now this utter dog mess - and it’s not even a stiff turd it’s a total pile of steaming shit ! And the price ….. well that’s another conversation. The average car enthusiast could save this brand in a heart beat .
- let's be different for the sake of being different. if it worked for a 100 years why change it. These are two design philosophies completely polar and you can pick either one. In this case however, I think they completely missed the mark. The design isn't that new or different. This could be a car that Land Rover made, a bulky, sturdy-looking and very angular car. that is all fine but the issue lies in all the details that either look bad or try to solve a problem that didn't exist. One example is that front grill. It is the laziest design for a front grill that I have seen in some time, just make it square, add a little relief and a centered badge. I'm sorry but if you can't put more effort into the design than I can't put any effort into taking out my wallet
- They should have called it 'Tron 0.1'...it is a thing of futuristic beauty...but, is it practical for everyday usage? As a Senior Citizen, it would be too much for me to handle...even though, I've owned several good motors, Jags included...to me, it just doesn't have the Jag DNA in the mix...and as a Midlander, I love British stuff...but, this whole thing is in different hands altogether, and maybe, that's why it is the way it is?! I wish them all the best, though! Cheers from far away!
