Jaguar’s vehicle sales in Europe plummeted 97.5 percent in April 2025 compared to the same month last year, marking a severe downturn for the British car manufacturer following its controversial rebranding strategy.
According to new data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (AECA), Jaguar registered only 49 new vehicles in Europe in April 2025, a steep decline from the 1,961 units sold in April 2024.

The drop comes after the automaker introduced a new brand direction that has received widespread criticism from both consumers and industry analysts.
Jaguar’s rebranding efforts began with the November 2024 unveiling of its new concept vehicle, the Type 00 — pronounced “zero zero.”

The launch was accompanied by an ad campaign that featured no vehicles but instead focused on artistic imagery, fashion-centric visuals, and androgynous models.

The decision to avoid showcasing actual cars in the campaign drew heavy backlash.
Sales data show the impact has extended beyond a single month. Jaguar’s year-to-date sales in Europe from January through April 2025 fell 75.1 percent, with only 2,665 vehicles sold compared to significantly higher figures from the same period in 2024.
Global sales for the 2024/25 financial year also reflected the downturn. Jaguar reported just 26,862 vehicles sold worldwide, representing an 85 percent drop compared to 2018.

The brand’s managing director, Rawdon Glover, defended the strategy in an interview with the Financial Times.
He described the campaign as “bold” and denied that the company was pursuing a political agenda.
“If we play in the same way that everybody else does, we’ll just get drowned out,” Glover said.
“So we shouldn’t turn up like an auto brand.”
He also addressed the criticism that followed the campaign’s release.
“The message was lost in a blaze of intolerance,” Glover stated, referring to negative reactions on social media.
“It was never intended to be ‘woke.’”
Jaguar’s attempt to reposition itself as a “lifestyle-focused, fashion-forward brand” has raised concerns about whether the company’s new image has alienated its traditional customer base.
The brand, once known for its legacy of British engineering and performance vehicles, has faced questions about how its marketing aligns with consumer expectations in the automotive sector.
The Type 00 concept, revealed as part of Jaguar’s shift toward electrification and design-driven branding, was meant to signal a new era for the automaker.
However, with sales figures sharply declining, industry analysts are watching closely to see whether Jaguar can recover or if the brand’s rebrand will require another strategic adjustment.
The company has not announced any revisions to its current branding plans, and it remains unclear whether Jaguar intends to modify its marketing approach in response to the sales figures.
As Jaguar continues its transition toward becoming an all-electric luxury brand by 2025, the challenges in retaining customer trust and interest appear to be growing, especially across the European market.

What a stupid commercial.
Advice to Jaguar:
I wonder – could the focus on ELECTRIC “cars” have something to do with a complete lack of public interest in Jaguars’ “new range” ?
I only speak from personal experience, but somehow folks buying Jaguar expect PERFORMANCE and NOT a ticket to wait in line for a “Recharging Spot” and a performance second only to a Third World Ponzi-Car ?
Jaguar have bought into a real Pup ! Now they have to pay for it. My Subaru still runs fine on good old-fashioned petrol and has a performance I am not ashamed of – at all !
Greetings,
The design, the lines, the nimble look combined with austere luxury was awesome. Three carbs, sometimes 12 cylinders and the growl of a jaguar just could not be better in any car. One is reminded of gentlemen at a real country club, winding roads in the country, polo and yachting clubs, miles of fencing along the highway, country hunt clubs, stone fireplaces and Baily’s with coffee complete with ascots, English tweeds, tufted chesterfield sofas and the aroma of English leather.
Often, the car needed extra care keeping it tuned but It was a beautiful image parked, or moving down the highway. It looked like it was doing 80 even when it was not moving.
It is strange that an auto company that has had consistent issues with their electrical system for decades has decided to make an all electric car. That will turn out badly for the few people that buy one.
These folks are blinded by the woke gender queer and will learn quickly, as did Budweiser, that it will be their last production year with this branding toward a tiny part of the automobile buyers in the world.
It makes one wonder how a business that has been consistently successful with regular sales, though small in volume can not learn from those that have crashed and burned in recent years. It is a business plan that will fail quickly, probably before they get one new car on the road. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the definition of Insanity.
Pink faux fur rugs, stainless steel glass top tables and sofas in a modern design and the new rainbow Jag does not conjure any feelings for me except a cold sadness that one more element of a rich life, well earned has succumbed to a brave new world that is totally unremarkable and as fragile as the few customers that might buy it.
