Jaguar’s Bold Rebrand Draws Global Attention and Divides Opinion

The luxury automaker unveils a controversial new identity and prepares to showcase its all-electric future at Miami Art Week.

  • Jaguar has launched a rebranding campaign, replacing its iconic leaping cat logo with a minimalist double-J design, as part of its transition to an all-electric luxury brand.
  • The rebrand has sparked widespread criticism online, with detractors lamenting the loss of Jaguar's heritage and questioning the absence of cars in the promotional video.
  • Jaguar's managing director, Rawdon Glover, defends the strategy as a necessary reinvention to attract younger, affluent customers and move away from its aging customer base.
  • The rebrand is a precursor to the December 2 unveiling of Jaguar's first new electric model, a high-end grand tourer with a reported price above $125,000, though details remain speculative.
  • JLR, Jaguar's parent company, is investing $18 billion over five years to electrify the brand, banking on a smaller production volume and higher price points to achieve profitability.
