Jaguar has unveiled the Type 01 as the first production model in its new all-electric vehicle lineup. This four-door Gran Turismo is built on the specially developed JEA architecture (Jaguar Electric Architecture) and is intended to mark a new direction for the brand. It represents a significant step forward for Jaguar, as the brand aims to become fully electric in the future. The Type 01 is developed and manufactured in the UK, with orders expected to become available starting in early 2027, at an entry price of 165,000 euros.
Design and Dimensions
The Type 01 is 5,235 mm long and 1,403 mm high. It features a long hood, a short front overhang and an extended rear overhang, along with standard 23-inch wheels; 21-inch wheels are available as an option. The doors are frameless, the trunk lid has no glass, and the taillights spanning the entire width of the vehicle are only visible when turned on. According to the manufacturer, the LED headlights are only 84 mm tall and each has 17,000 pixels.
Jaguar states that the drag coefficient is 0.23 cW. Active fins at the front contribute to this, opening only when cooling is needed and adding up to 43 km of extra range according to Jaguar. A three-stage rear spoiler extends by seven degrees at speeds over 80 km/h, reportedly adding up to 5 km of range. Above 155 km/h, it angles to 21 degrees, generating up to 75 kg of downforce. Additionally, the vehicle lowers by 15 mm at cruising speeds.

Powertrain and Suspension
The Type 01 is powered by three electric motors: one motor with 260 kW is located at the front axle, while two motors, each with 310 kW, are mounted at the rear axle. The two rear permanent magnet motors are combined into a single drive unit. The system’s power output reaches up to 757 kW (1,030 horsepower), with a maximum torque of 1,365 Nm. Jaguar claims a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 3.2 seconds, and it takes 4.0 seconds to accelerate from 100 to 180 km/h.
The motors are controlled via silicon carbide inverters. A torque vectoring function distributes power to individual wheels, with up to 87 percent of the power going to the rear axle in Dynamic driving mode. During steady-speed driving, such as on the highway, the system can shut off the rear motors and operate solely with the front axle. This is said to extend range by up to 29 km.
The suspension includes an air suspension with active dampers and all-wheel steering that can steer the rear wheels up to six degrees. This results in a turning circle of 11.5 meters. Jaguar states that the weight distribution is 50:50. For regenerative braking, three levels and a one-pedal mode are available. The driving modes include Jaguar, Dynamic, Efficient, Ice & Snow, as well as a custom-configurable mode.
Battery and Range
The lithium-ion battery with NMC cell chemistry has a usable capacity of 118 kWh and consists of 200 prismatic cells. The vehicle’s electrical system operates at 850 volts. Thanks to a special front structure, the battery pack extends ahead of the passenger compartment, allowing for 32 additional cells to be fitted.
Jaguar estimates the WLTP range to be up to 720 km, so this is not yet the final homologation figure. At a constant speed of 120 km/h, the range is said to reach up to 515 km. For thermal management, Jaguar relies on the ThermAssist system, which utilizes engine waste heat for the cabin and battery, operating between -40 and +40 degrees Celsius according to the manufacturer. Jaguar provides an eight-year or 160,000 km warranty on the battery.

Charging capacity
The Type 01 can charge via DC fast charging at up to 350 kW. It claims to be able to recharge enough energy for up to 321 km in 13 minutes, while it takes around 22 minutes to go from 10% to 80% charge. At 400-volt charging stations, the vehicle splits its battery, allowing charges of up to 250 kW.
For AC charging, the onboard charger provides up to 22 kW. Standard equipment includes two AC charging ports, one on each side of the vehicle, located behind electrically operated covers. For home use, Jaguar offers its own wallbox with a 7.5-meter cable. Public charging is handled through the Jaguar app, with billing processed monthly via Digital Charging Solutions. The navigation system automatically plans charging stops on longer trips.
Interior and Features
Inside, a continuous center console divides the cabin into four seating areas. In front of the driver is a curved 24-inch OLED touchscreen, along with a 7-inch display between the front seats for climate and audio controls, and another one in the back. A traditional rearview mirror is omitted; instead, a camera display shows the view behind. The sound system is from Meridian and includes 38 speakers. A panoramic glass roof is standard, while the front seats are heated, ventilated, and equipped with massage functions.
The trunk has a capacity of over 450 liters, rising to up to 1,000 liters with the rear seats folded down. Jaguar equips it with ten cameras, five radar sensors, and twelve ultrasonic sensors for assistance systems, while NVIDIA systems handle the computing power. Software updates can be applied over the air, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are integrated wirelessly. In addition to the standard model, there is a Design Vision Edition as well as the limited edition Chromatic Moments, available in only 60 units worldwide.
