The roar of controversy is echoing through the automotive world as iconic British luxury brand Jaguar prepares to unveil a groundbreaking electric concept car in Miami this week. But it’s not just the car that’s causing a stir – it’s a provocative 30-second teaser ad that has ignited a firestorm of reactions online, thrusting Jaguar into the center of a raging culture war.
A Daring Departure
The ad, featuring a diverse cast of models striding through an otherworldly landscape, boldly proclaims “Copy nothing” – a nod to Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons while also signaling a decisive break from the past. Gone is the iconic “growling cat” logo, replaced by a sleek, minimalist emblem that hints at a radically reimagined Jaguar for the electric age.
Reactions to the ad have been swift and polarizing. Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to social media to mock the campaign, while The Daily Mail accused Jaguar of going “woke.” Online, the ad has unleashed a torrent of culture warriors and far-right trolls, with shocking displays of homophobia and transphobia in the comments.
Stirring the Pot
One thing is certain: in an industry buffeted by change, Jaguar has firmly grasped the steering wheel of its own destiny. Where that road leads is anyone’s guess. But love it or hate it, this new Jaguar is sure to get people talking – and for a faded brand in need of reinvention, that alone may be a victory.

As the automotive world converges on Miami this week, all eyes will be on Jaguar’s audacious attempt to redefine itself for the electric era. Will the new concept car live up to the hype? Can Jaguar shed its traditional identity and win over a new generation of eco-conscious elites? The stakes could hardly be higher.

Some analysts argue it’s a necessary gambit in an unforgiving electric vehicle market where brand loyalty is up for grabs. In China, local EV startups have rapidly stolen share from established luxury marques, proving that heritage matters less when cutting-edge technology is on offer. Jaguar’s “copy nothing” ethos may be more than an advertising tagline – it could be a strategic imperative.

Yet this bold pivot comes with risks. Jaguar plans to go fully electric and dramatically more expensive by 2025, with the new EV expected to start around £100,000 – nearly double the brand’s current average price. The goal is not mass-market appeal, but profitable exclusivity, with Jaguar content to sell to a small slice of well-heeled EV buyers.

Details are scarce, but sources say the new Jaguar EV is unlike anything the brand has produced before. As automotive journalist Ginny Buckley, one of the few to have seen the car in the flesh, teased: “Nothing has made my jaw drop as much in 27 years of reporting on cars.”
Exclusivity Over Volume

Enter the new electric concept car, set to be unveiled in Miami on Monday. Spy shots reveal a low-slung grand tourer with muscular proportions, hinting at an American-influenced design language. High-tech touches like rear-view cameras in place of mirrors suggest Jaguar is embracing an electric future with gusto.

But according to insiders, the controversy is all part of the plan. Jaguar Land Rover’s chief creative officer Gerry McGovern, the mastermind behind the rebrand, is said to relish shaking things up. As one former colleague put it, “He wants to stir the pot.”
And stir the pot he has. With Jaguar sales in freefall, plummeting from 180,000 units in 2018 to under 67,000 last year, McGovern and JLR seem to have concluded that Jaguar cannot continue on its current path. Squeezed at the premium end by German rivals like BMW and Mercedes, the brand needs a reboot – and fast.
