Jaguar estimates that its 118-kWh usable battery will deliver up to 400 miles of EPA range, though the figure remains subject to final certification. The company says drivers can add up to 200 miles of range in as little as 13 minutes using a 350-kW DC fast charger, depending on battery and charging conditions.
Inside, the four-seat cabin features a central spine running the length of the vehicle, a 24-inch OLED driver display and a separate seven-inch touchscreen for commonly used controls.
The car is designed, engineered and built in the U.K., with production scheduled to begin in 2027 at JLR’s Solihull operations.

As a boy I liked the XKE, looks dated to me now.

Perhaps I'm succumbing to geriatric hardening of the IQ.
As long as the steering wheel is on the right side, which is to say the left side, I'm OK w/ it. BUT !
To me the style of the Type 01 four-door looks right at home here:

I can't take it seriously, not much better than Musk's smart truck.
 
A good friend's neighbor had one - gorgeous car but he was under the hood every few days tinkering.

The only thing that can be said about Jaguars of that vintage is that they were hand built by eccentrics and if something went wrong the solution was to remove the ashtray, turn in upside down, and bang it three times on the dash. Then put it back. No idea why but it always worked.

I've lost count of how many points / plugs / condenser tune-ups I've done. Bleeding knuckles, not as much fun as it sounds, - but -
there is a somewhat addle-brained fondness for the era of 4 on the floor, and a 5th under the seat.
EFI & CDI to the rescue.

Modern cars are miracles of engineering. They're incredibly reliable: get in, drive, park, repeat ...
but not real exciting.
