Jaguar has demonstrated remarkable boldness in recent years, embarking on a new era with its brand reinvention. The Type 00 concept car – a futuristic and polarising two-door GT – symbolised this transformation. Now, with the unveiling of the Type 01, Jaguar reveals just how much of that daring vision has been carried over into the four-door production version. Once again, the manufacturer proves its audacity, as its earlier concept did not overpromise on what will soon roll off the production line in Solihull, UK.
The Jaguar Type 01 stretches to just under 5.24 metres in length, with a height of only 1.41 metres and a width of 2.00 metres. The extremely low roofline and elongated proportions visually emphasise the impressive wheelbase of 3.20 metres. The bodywork features large, smooth surfaces and sharp edges, with flush-integrated door handles, sensors, and cameras. Instead of a rear window, the interior uses digital mirrors.
Inside, Jaguar continues its minimalist aesthetic, as there are no haptic controls or excessive screen landscapes to be found. A 24-inch instrument display behind the steering wheel and a small, vertical 7-inch touch control on the centre console – which extends between the two individual seats in the second row – are supplemented only by flat controls on the steering wheel.
Impressive performance in powertrain and charging technology
But let’s talk about more than just design. The real question is: what about the hard facts? Here, too, Jaguar proves that the Type 01 is not merely a decorative object from a bygone era. Following the motto “more is more”, the four-door GT is not based on the 800 V architecture common to most high-end electric models, but instead on an 850 V architecture.
This is complemented by an impressively sized 118 kWh battery. In a direct technical comparison, only vehicles of the calibre of the Mercedes-Benz EQS, Range Rover EV or Lucid Gravity can match this. This is made possible by the Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), which makes its series debut with the Jaguar Type 01.

This high on-board energy reserve is also sorely needed to fully utilise the power of the three electric motors, which deliver a combined system output of 758 kW and 1,365 Newton-metres of torque. With a moderate driving style, a range of up to approximately 720 km is said to be achievable. This theoretically results in energy consumption of 16 to 17 kWh per 100 km. However, official WLTP figures for the model are not yet available. When the battery is depleted, the fast charger can replenish energy at up to 350 kW. The manufacturer promises that this allows for enough power to cover around 320 km in just 13 minutes.
€165,000 for the First Jaguar of the New Era
The Jaguar Type 01 will launch in Germany with a starting price of €165,000. The manufacturer has announced that order books will open in early 2027, with deliveries of the four-door luxury GT scheduled for the second half of 2027.
