Jaguar’s Type 01 Makes a Dramatic Electric Statement
Jaguar has made a new electric car called the Type 01.
It is very long, low, and designed to look dramatic.
Jaguar says it can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.
Its battery is claimed to let it travel up to 720 km on a test cycle.
The car has large screens and special interior details.
But the back seats are cramped, and some passengers may have limited foot room.
Orders are expected to open in early 2027.
The car is expensive, starting at £130,000.
Jaguar hopes this bold car will help people believe in its new direction.
The Type 01 is Jaguar’s production four-door electric grand tourer, developed from its Type 00 concept.
It measures 5,235mm long and 1,403mm tall, and Jaguar says its drag coefficient is 0.23.
Three motors deliver up to 1,030 PS and 1,365 Nm, with a claimed 0–100 km/h time of 3.2 seconds.
Its 118 kWh usable battery is claimed to provide up to 720 km of WLTP range.
Orders are expected to open in early 2027, with prices starting at £130,000.
