Jaguar has officially pulled the covers off the Type 01, its first production electric grand tourer and the definitive spiritual successor to the bold Type 00 concept. Marking a dramatic departure from decades of traditional styling, the Type 01 kicks off Jaguar’s high-end niche market relaunch.
Design and Engineering Breakthroughs
-
Exuberant Modernism Language: The exterior features an upright nose dominated by a signature ‘strikethrough’ graphic, active cooling shutters, and the slimmest headlights ever fitted to a Jaguar. Traditional bonnet mascots are replaced by subtle fender badging highlighting the extended “luxury gap” between the front axle and A-pillar.
-
Aerodynamic Mastery: Despite its imposing 17-foot length and massive 23-inch wheels, the Type 01 achieves an ultra-slick 0.23 drag coefficient aided by active aerodynamics and a flush, monolithic rear panel that replaces the conventional rear window with a camera-fed digital mirror.
-
Split-Battery Layout: To accommodate a low 1,400 mm roofline without sacrificing interior grand-tourer proportions, engineers engineered a unique split five-module 118 kWh battery layout.
Performance and Charging Specs
-
Tri-Motor Output: Powered by a three-motor setup (one front, two rear) delivering all-wheel-drive capability, pushing out 1,015 to 1,030 horsepower and 1,365 Nm of torque.
-
Blistering Pace: Despite weighing roughly 2.7 tonnes, it launches from 0–100 km/h in 3.2 seconds alongside a fierce 100–180 km/h sprint time of 4.0 seconds.
-
Range & 850V Architecture: Built on an 850-volt system, the 118 kWh usable battery yields an estimated 720 km WLTP range. Utilizing a 350 kW DC rapid charger allows the vehicle to claw back 321 km of range in just 13 minutes (10–80% in roughly 22 minutes).
Cabin Layout & Technology
The interior adopts a minimalist, driver-focused layout divided into four zones by a central structural spine. Physical switches are largely absent, replaced by a sweeping 24-inch unified display screen combining instrumentation and infotainment, complemented by premium sustainable materials and an immersive multi-speaker acoustic setup.
