Jaguar is facing a staggering collapse in its European sales, with a dramatic 97% decline in vehicle registrations during the first half of 2025. Once recognized as a symbol of luxury and performance, the brand now finds itself nearly absent from the continent’s roads.
A Brand in Transition
The sales nosedive comes as Jaguar undergoes a major transition. The company has paused production of most of its existing lineup in preparation for a new era defined by all-electric, ultra-luxury vehicles. While the brand prepares to relaunch itself with entirely new EV models in 2025 and 2026, current showrooms are left with little to offer buyers.
Limited Inventory and Quiet Phase-Out
Most of Jaguar’s traditional models have either been discontinued or phased out quietly, leaving dealerships across Europe without fresh stock. The company has also refrained from pushing existing inventory aggressively, focusing instead on its upcoming relaunch.
Repositioning Upscale
As part of its reinvention, Jaguar is moving upmarket, targeting a higher-end luxury segment to compete with elite brands. Future electric vehicles are expected to come with significantly higher price tags, positioning Jaguar in a more exclusive niche. However, this strategy shift has created a sales vacuum in the meantime, with longtime customers left in limbo.
Internal Challenges and Uncertain Future
Internally, the brand is dealing with restructuring and significant pressure to prove that its high-risk transformation can succeed. With production paused and no new mainstream models available, Jaguar is effectively absent from the European market for now.
Looking Ahead
Jaguar’s comeback hinges on the successful rollout of its next-generation electric models. Until then, the steep decline in sales highlights the risk of leaving a gap in the market while executing a full brand reset.
