The Jaguar Type 01 costs 165,000 euros. It has 758 kW of power and is not meant to be a family limousine.
Jaguar unveiled the production version of the electric Type 01 on October 6, 2026, the first model under the brand’s complete restart. This four-door GT is equipped with three motors, an 118 kWh battery, an 850 V electrical system, and a German starting price of 165,000 euros. Orders will open in early 2027, with deliveries scheduled for the second half of the year.

The Type 01 evolved directly from the controversial Type 00 concept introduced at the end of 2024. Jaguar phased out its previous lineup and stopped competing with BMW, Audi, or Mercedes on their terms. Now it targets higher-end customers who drive Porsche and Bentley. The production car shows that the “Copy Nothing” slogan wasn’t just part of a marketing campaign.
The concept got extra doors but remained largely unchanged
The Jaguar Type 01 is nearly 5.24 meters long, 2 meters wide, and only 1.41 meters high. It has a wheelbase of 3.20 meters and is equipped with 23-inch wheels. An air resistance coefficient of Cd 0.23 is quite good, especially for a car this wide with a long front end and a design that doesn’t attempt to maximize the advantages of an electric platform.

The huge front end does not hide a V8 engine. One electric motor is located at the front, with two more at the back, but the powertrain does not require such ample space. Jaguar deliberately prioritized aesthetics over practicality, drawing inspiration from the classic E-Type.
There is no windshield at the back. The driver relies on camera footage, similar to the Polestar 4. The tail lights are integrated into horizontal elements of the body, door handles blend with the doors, and sensors and cameras are seamlessly incorporated into the chassis. Production is set to take place in Solihull, UK.
118 kWh, three motors and 350 kW on charge
The new Jaguar Electric Architecture platform makes its debut in the Type 01. The NMC battery has a capacity of 118 kWh, with the powertrain operating at 850 V. The three motors combined deliver 758 kW and 1365 Nm, resulting in approximately 1030 horsepower.
Jaguar claims a range of up to 720 km, but the final WLTP figure has not yet been released. For the US market, EPA figures show 400 miles, which is equivalent to 644 km. These numbers should not be compared directly, as the two testing procedures are different, and 720 km remains the manufacturer’s target for now, rather than an approved result.
The maximum charging power is 350 kW, and it takes 22 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%. Jaguar also states that with a sufficiently powerful charger, about 320 km of range can be restored in 13 minutes. This sounds good, but without knowing the charging curve, it’s unclear how long the car can maintain power close to its maximum level.
In one of the publications, it was mentioned that the vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and has a weight of around 6,000 pounds, or 2.72 tons. However, other reports from the presentation indicate that Jaguar has not yet released official performance figures. Until the full specifications are published, these two values should be treated with caution.
The minimalist interior comes at a cost
The cabin is designed for four passengers. In front of the driver, there is a large 24-inch screen, while a vertical 7-inch display is located on the center console. A separate interface is also provided for passengers in the back. There are few physical buttons, and some functions are controlled through flat surfaces on the two-handled steering wheel.
The car features massage seats, air purification, and selectable scents. At the same time, small windows, a high seat tunnel, and a low roof line limit the sense of space. The rear bench seats only two people, the trunk is modest in size, and the front compartment is expected to be small despite the massive front end. This is the cost of the chosen style, not a oversight.
In Germany, the Type 01 will start at 165,000 euros. Figures of 130,500 dollars and around 130,000 pounds appear in materials for other markets, but they don’t convert directly. They may apply to different versions, taxes, and equipment. No price or launch date has been announced for Poland.
The Type 01 is not meant to be a one-off experiment. Jaguar is planning another model on the JEA platform, likely a SUV or crossover in a similar style. The company has not yet announced a release date and wants to focus all attention on the GT for now. This makes sense, as the success of the Type 01 will determine whether the costly rebranding was a bold move or just a highly successful gamble.
