Jaguar is executing one of the most audacious pivots in automotive history, discarding its modern heritage to reinvent itself as an ultra-luxury electric powerhouse. The spearhead of this radical transformation is the Type 01, a jaw-dropping, four-door grand tourer that commands attention with its massive 5.2-meter footprint. Evolving from the polarizing Type 00 concept, it ditches the traditional rear window entirely for a completely smooth, solid tailgate, and anchors its stance on massive 23-inch wheels.
Underneath the dramatic, long-hood silhouette sits the bespoke 850V Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), sending a ferocious 1,000-plus horsepower to all four wheels. It handles the sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds while offering a staggering 450-mile range and ultra-fast charging capability that juices up 200 miles of range in a mere 13 minutes.
Inside, the cabin breaks away from typical leather-and-wood luxury tropes, opting instead for an avant-garde mix of sustainable Woolblend Kvadrat textiles, structural travertine stone, and bold brass accents. A floating center spine divides the four-seat layout, drawing the eyes toward a pillar-to-pillar 24-inch OLED dashboard display and a hidden 38-speaker Meridian sound system. The Type 01 skips the mass market completely to hunt for hyper-exclusive territory. Order books are slated to open in early 2027, with the first fortunate buyers taking delivery later that year.
