The Jaguar Type 01 has finally been unveiled in its production guise, ushering in a whole new era for the British luxury automaker. Directly after the groundbreaking Jaguar Type 00 concept car, the four-door electric GT is a combination of aggression in styling along with a tri-motor drive setup which makes more than 1,000hp.
A special electric platform has been developed by Jaguar in order to give the Type 01 its unique dimensions. The Type 01 gets a 120kWh battery pack, 850V electrical system, and a claimed WLTP range of up to 720km. Global sales will commence in 2027, followed by India.

Jaguar Type 01 Design Has Changed Very Little from the Concept Car
The production vehicle keeps a lot of the dramatic design from the Type 00 concept. The car features Jaguar’s new strikethrough design, four-lights daytime running lights and the thinnest headlights ever mounted on a Jaguar.
Even with its upright-looking nose, the Type 01 manages to achieve a drag coefficient of only 0.23. Aerodynamics and clean body surfaces contribute to efficiency, while the massive 23-inch wheels accentuate its low stance.
One of the most unique aspects of the car is its rear. The vehicle does not feature a traditional rear windscreen. Instead, there is a camera providing a view to a digital rear-view monitor. The rear spoiler can be adjusted to three different positions depending on the speed.
Jaguar also managed to develop a unique split-battery system consisting of five modules. It allowed the engineers to keep the low roofline while increasing the rear footwell space.
Interior Gets a Futuristic Four-Seat Layout
The Type 01 is a four-seater only, with an enormous central spine separating the cabin into different sections. Heating, cooling and massage functionality is present in the front seats.
There is an enormous 24-inch screen that merges the instrument cluster and infotainment systems. There are few physical buttons in the cabin with brass finish design cues, similar to the exterior.
The aggressive proportions also have some trade-offs. The rear passengers will be sitting in an enclosed area due to the low roof, small windows and the thick body around it. The luggage volume comes to 450 liters.
1,030hp Powertrain Gives the Type 01 Real Speed
The Type 01 employs three electric motors, with two motors driving the rear wheels and the third motor driving the front axle. The total power output stands at 1,030hp and 1,365Nm.
Even though the car weighs close to 2.7 tonnes, Jaguar claims that the 0-100kph sprint is done in just 3.2 seconds. Jaguar has also claimed 100-180kph in just 4.0 seconds.
With an 850V power system, up to 321km extra range can be achieved in 13 minutes on a 350kW DC charger, and 10-80 percent charge can take approximately 22 minutes.
India Launch: What Can One Expect?
The Jaguar Type 01 is expected to be launched in India a few months after the worldwide rollout in 2027. Jaguar expects its price to be around ₹2 crores, but the final price of the vehicle in India will be announced closer to the launch.
The car will arrive as a completely built unit from Jaguar’s Solihull plant.
