Jaguar's new electric four-door GT is starting its Arctic Winter testing phase.

Jaguar is all set to do the extensive winter testing of its upcoming all-electric, four-door Grand Tourer (GT) in Arjeplog, Sweden. The Tata-owned British manufacturer will be testing the prototypes in -40 Degree, which means that the automaker is performing one of the most extreme tests in its history.

The company has prepared a fleet of 150 prototypes, which will be tested in diverse terrains, ranging from frozen lakes, desert dunes and virtual simulations to ensure the reliability of vehicles in extreme climatic conditions. The company will be officially introducing the GT later this year. 

Jaguar Electric Battery & Power

POWER: The upcoming four-door GT model will be the most powerful Jaguar to be ever manufactured. It will be powered by a tri-motor all-wheel drive powertrain, generating a peak power of 1,000 HP. This huge amount of power is controlled by a torque vectoring system, which manages the power sent to each wheel, making the car feel responsive to throttle inputs. 

Apart from this, the company has also revised the dynamics of electric four-door grand tourer, where Jaguar has attached an all-wheel steering system, which reduces the turning radius of the car especially at low speeds and provides stability during high speeds. 

Thermal Management System

The GT car will be also equipped with the latest ThermAssist thermal management system, which reduces the range degradation specifically in winters. What this system does is it utilizes the heat-scavenging technology to extract thermal energy from the environment, even at extreme temperatures with as low as -10 Degree.

This reduces the energy consumption for the cabin and regulates battery heating by up to 40%. The vehicle engineering director of Jaguar, Matt Becker, expressed his views on this and said, “It will bring a revolutionary change in our technical vision by introducing innovative in-house electric propulsion technologies by blending it with a low center of gravity for a luxurious user experience.”
