Jaguar has unveiled a new electric car, two years after parent company JLR relaunched the brand amid a wave of controversy over its rebranding effort, according to the BBC.
The rebrand, when first announced, drew significant public ridicule and criticism, with the report noting it had been described by critics using terms like "woke." The unveiling of an actual production vehicle marks a tangible follow-through on the brand relaunch after that period of controversy.
JLR's relaunch of Jaguar as an electric-focused brand represented a significant strategic shift for the storied British carmaker, moving away from its traditional combustion-engine lineup toward an all-electric future.
The new car's unveiling gives the public its first full look at a production result of that rebranding strategy, following extended speculation and scrutiny over what direction the reinvented brand would ultimately take.
Further details on the vehicle's specifications, pricing and release timeline were not included in the available report.
