Jaguar has shown great courage over the past years by launching a brand renaissance that marked a new era. A symbol of this was the Type 00 concept car, a futuristic yet polarizing two-door GT. How much of Jaguar’s boldness was carried over into the four-door production version is now revealed by the manufacturer with the unveiling of the Type 01. Jaguar remains bold here as well, since the concept car delivered on many of the promises that will soon be realized in production at its Solihull (UK) plant.

The Jaguar Type 01 is just under 5.24 meters long, with a height of only 1.41 meters and a width of 2.00 meters. Its extremely flat roofline and elongated proportions visually emphasize its massive wheelbase of 3.20 meters. The body features large panels and clean lines, with door handles as well as sensors and cameras seamlessly integrated. Instead of a rear window, the interior uses digital mirrors.

Jaguar continues this minimalist aesthetic inside as well, with no tactile controls or excessive screens visible. A 24-inch instrument display behind the steering wheel and a small, vertical 7-inch touchscreen on the center console that extends between the two individual seats in the second row are supplemented only by flat controls on the steering wheel.

Exceptional Performance in Powertrain and Charging Technology

But for now, let’s focus only on the design. The question is, what about the hard facts? Even here, Jaguar demonstrates that the Type 01 isn’t just a decorative item from a bygone era. Following the principle of “more is more,” this four-door GT relies on an 850-V architecture rather than the 800 V system used in most high-end electric vehicles.

It’s also equipped with a remarkably large battery capacity of 118 kWh. In terms of technical specifications, only vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz EQS, Range Rover EV, or Lucid Gravity can match it. This is made possible by the Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), which makes its debut in the Jaguar Type 01.

This high energy reserve on board is also essential if one wants to fully utilize the performance of the three electric motors, which together deliver a system power of 758 kW and a torque of 1,365 Newtonmeters. With a moderate driving style, an range of up to around 720 kilometers should be possible. This results in a theoretical consumption of 16 to 17 kWh per 100 kilometers. However, no official WLTP figures are available for this model yet. When the battery is depleted, the fast charger can supply new energy at up to 350 kW. The manufacturer claims that this allows the battery to be recharged enough for around 320 kilometers of range in just 13 minutes.

165,000 Euros for the first Jaguar of the new era

The Jaguar Type 01 will go on sale in Germany at a price starting from 165,000 euros. The manufacturer has announced that orders will open in early 2027, with delivery of this four-door luxury GT expected in the second half of 2027.

In a direct technical comparison, even more vehicles can keep up. The BMW iX5, for example. Some are even better, such as the Mercedes AMG GT 4-door electric model. Chinese models that also enter Europe, like the Xpeng G9L or BYD Denza Z9 GT, should not be overlooked either; although they often don’t achieve the highest ranges, they make up for it somewhat with charging speed. What about models like the Zeekr 001? The version offered in Europe isn’t comparable—it’s an outdated model—but the one available in China has a CLTC range of over 1,000 km, which is roughly equivalent to 800 km under WLTP standards.

Calling 118kWh “considerable” is a mild euphemism, isn’t it!? All models in this class fall within similar ranges, as listed. Even a BMW 3 Series has only 10kWh less. So Jaguar needs to offer something substantial if it wants to compete.

A car the world doesn’t need...with specifications typical of its class, it can’t distinguish itself technologically. Without any innovations or advancements over competitors, this vehicle will stand out only in terms of design—depending on personal taste. That won’t be enough for Jaguar. Traditionally, though, people still “hope for the best” that it will attract enough customers.

Well, there’s probably no other luxury sedan as flat as this one; it seems a significant portion of the battery cells have been placed in the central tunnel, allowing for footroom—even in the back—such as is common in sports cars. This design reduces inertia around the longitudinal axis, helping to counteract leaning and swaying in corners without the need for overly stiff suspension. Recall that the XJ was once quite flat as well; in an electric vehicle, this increases range and lowers the center of gravity. With such a long wheelbase, all-wheel steering is essential and likely included to enhance driving dynamics and turning radius. Additionally, a powerful engine torque can overwhelm passengers if needed.
