Jaguar has officially unveiled its new Type 01 luxury electric grand tourer at its headquarters. This launch marks a complete transition toward a bespoke, high-end all-electric brand strategy. Developed under the codenames Project Pantera and X900, the production-intent model features a design originally finalized in 2021. It underwent extensive physical modeling and aerodynamic engineering before its debut. Jaguar confirmed that the development process involved interviewing 2,500 individuals across six continents during customer research clinics to evaluate the vehicle’s polarizing design language.
The Type 01 represents the first major production model under Jaguar’s dramatic brand transformation. It moves away from the previous lineup and adopts a completely new visual identity built around the “Copy Nothing” philosophy. Featuring an unusually long hood, a heavily rearward cabin, massive 23-inch wheels, and short front overhangs, its proportions match an exotic grand tourer. The front end lacks a traditional grille. The rear eliminates the conventional rear windshield in favor of an unconventional camera-based rear-view system.
Performance and Powertrain Specifications
Beneath its dramatic exterior, the Type 01 is equipped with a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system. This setup consists of one motor at the front and two at the rear. The combined output is rated at approximately 1,015 horsepower and 1,007 lb-ft of torque. Jaguar estimates a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds, while 0-62 mph is achieved in approximately 3.2 seconds.
The powertrain relies on an 850-volt electrical architecture and a 118-kWh usable battery. Jaguar targets a 50/50 weight distribution. Some battery cells are positioned ahead of the driver rather than placing the entire pack solely beneath the passenger compartment. This split battery architecture allows the vehicle to support both 400-volt and 800-volt charging systems.
- Maximum Power: Up to 1,015 HP
- 0-60 mph Acceleration: From 3.1 seconds
- Battery Capacity: 118-kWh usable
- Electrical Architecture: 850-volt system
- Estimated Range: Up to 400 miles (approx. 320 miles at sustained highway speeds)
Charging and Aerodynamics
Range remains a core pillar of the Type 01’s grand touring capabilities. Connected to a 350-kW rapid DC charger, the Type 01 can add approximately 200 miles of range in roughly 13 minutes. A 10-to-80 percent charging session takes about 22 minutes. Despite its large and dramatic shape, the Type 01 achieves a claimed drag coefficient of just 0.23, making it Jaguar’s most aerodynamic production vehicle ever.
Interior Luxury and Advanced Technology
Inside, the Type 01 takes an unconventional luxury approach. The dashboard is dominated by a single glass 24-inch OLED touchscreen that combines instrumentation and infotainment. A secondary 7-inch portrait-oriented display complements it. Passengers are greeted by a signature Brass-inspired center spine running the length of the interior, creating individualized spaces for four occupants.
Audio immersion is delivered via a full-width Panoramic Soundbar powered by Meridian. Sensory Audio supports this setup, allowing occupants to physically feel music. Additional cabin features include hot stone massage front seats, an intelligent Voice Assistant, and an innovative wool-blend Kvadrat DuoWeave textile wrapping around the seat forms.
Production, Pricing, and Market Availability
The Jaguar Type 01 will be designed, engineered, and manufactured in the UK. Production is scheduled to begin in 2027 at JLR’s Solihull facility using the dedicated Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA). Electric drive units and battery packs will be produced in Wolverhampton, while pressed body panels will be manufactured in Halewood, Merseyside.
In the UK, pricing will start at £130,000, while U.S. pricing begins at $130,500. Orders are expected to open in early 2027, with customer deliveries scheduled for later that year.
