A concept car previewing the design direction of Jaguar’s upcoming electric-vehicle lineup leaked Monday ahead of its official debut.
The Jaguar Design Vision concept was due to be unveiled Monday night at Miami Art Week, but images were posted online ahead of that on the CocheSpias Instagram page. Those images show a two-door fastback coupe with a somewhat more angular appearance than current Jaguar models, but with a long hood that nods to classic Jag sports cars like the E-Type.
The concept also lacks a rear window, like the Polestar 4, with a camera system likely aiding rear vision. A slat motif is repeated at the front and back, and even the roof, although it’s unclear if this serves a functional purpose such as cooling or is merely for decoration.

The interior features an oval steering wheel and a divider between the seats, but seems to lack screens, suggesting that relevant information will be projected onto the windshield itself.
Many of the Design Vision concept’s features are expected to show up on the first of Jaguar’s upcoming EVs, a a low-slung grand tourer the automaker has already shown testing with camouflage. The production version, which could have four doors instead of two, is scheduled to debut in 2025 sporting a six-figure price tag and more power than any previous Jaguar road car, with deliveries starting the following year.

The grand tourer will be one of three models comprising Jaguar’s electric reboot, announced in 2021. In the meantime, Jaguar has been discontinuing most of its current gasoline models, as well as its first EV, the I-Pace, leaving only the F-Pace SUV in showrooms until the new electric models arrive. An SUV and a more traditional-looking sedan are expected to follow the first model.
All three will be based on a new platform called JEA (Jaguar Electrified Architecture) and will feature North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports to give drivers access to Tesla Supercharger stations.
