Jaguar has finally unveiled the Type 01, an electric grand tourer that symbolizes the brand's rebirth. This vehicle features a futuristic and minimalist design, distinct from any previous Jaguar model, to the point where it is difficult to identify without the manufacturer's emblem.
Although the Type 01 does not differ significantly from the concept version shown a year ago, elements have been added to make it more suitable for public road use, such as rearview mirrors, four doors, an expanded glass area, and a more functional interior. Jaguar maintained the characteristic design of the LED strip headlights and taillights.
Despite Jaguar suggesting that the name 'Type 01' refers to a classic British GT and references the brand's heritage, the current design does not resemble any previous Jaguar. However, the car presents a ready-to-drive concept look and attracts significant attention.
The interior, which had already been partially shown, maintains a horizontal architecture and a clean design. It features a two-spoke steering wheel and seats, along with a 24-inch screen that functions as the instrument cluster and multimedia center. There is also a smaller seven-inch vertical screen on the center console for air conditioning and audio control (with 38 speakers), and a third screen at the base of the windshield, called the ClearSight Rear View Display, which replaces the rear glass.
Jaguar's ambition is to compete with Bentley, but the minimalist design, despite using high-quality materials and excellent finishing, does not convey an aura of ultra-luxury, which is considered a bold approach.
Technically, the Type 01 uses three combined electric motors, generating 1,029 hp and 139.2 kgfm of torque, powered by an 118 kWh NMC battery with an 850V architecture. Jaguar assures a range of 644 km and the ability to fast charge from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes using the 350 kW system. Orders for the Type 01 will begin in early 2027, with deliveries expected in the second half of the year.
