Introducing the New Jaguar Type 01: A New Era of British Luxury and Performance
Described as the most powerful, aerodynamic and technologically advanced Jaguar ever created, Type 01 draws inspiration from the brand's distinguished heritage while introducing an entirely new design philosophy. With its dramatic proportions, sophisticated interior and advanced electric architecture, the new GT has been developed to deliver an engaging driving experience alongside exceptional long-distance refinement.
The first of a new generation of Jaguars, Type 01 represents a significant milestone in the brand's transformation, combining British craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation.
What is the New Jaguar Type 01?
The Jaguar Type 01 is an all-electric luxury grand tourer, developed on the brand's dedicated Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA).
Its name reflects Jaguar's heritage and future ambitions. 'Type' pays tribute to legendary models such as the E-Type, '0' represents zero tailpipe emissions, while '1' signifies the beginning of a new generation.
With its distinctive four-door silhouette, long bonnet, low roofline and commanding proportions, Type 01 introduces a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Jaguar grand tourer.
Combining exceptional refinement with exhilarating electric performance, it has been engineered to deliver the comfort expected of a luxury GT without compromising the engaging driving character that has defined Jaguar for generations.
A Bold New Design Direction
The exterior of the Jaguar Type 01 is defined by clean surfaces, dramatic proportions and a distinctive new visual identity.
At the front, Jaguar's signature Strikethrough graphic is complemented by the brand's slimmest LED headlights to date, with HD projection technology incorporated into the upper lighting elements.
At the rear, full-width LED lighting is integrated within the Strikethrough design, while muscular shoulders and a glassless tailgate create an unmistakably sculpted appearance.
Every detail has been carefully considered to preserve the purity of the design. Frameless doors, concealed sensors, hidden door handles and a three-stage deployable rear spoiler allow Type 01 to maintain its sleek silhouette without compromising functionality or aerodynamic efficiency.
With a drag coefficient of just 0.23, Type 01 is the most aerodynamic Jaguar ever developed.
Customers will also be able to choose from a selection of exterior colours in both gloss and optional satin finishes, including the exclusive Visionary Silver Satin offered as part of Jaguar's Design Vision specification.
A New Expression of Interior Luxury
Inside, Jaguar Type 01 introduces a completely reimagined cabin, combining architectural design, premium materials and advanced technology.
The interior is arranged around a distinctive central spine, creating four individual passenger spaces and enhancing the sense of exclusivity throughout the cabin.
A 24-inch OLED Interactive Driver Display provides a clear, contemporary digital interface, complemented by a centrally positioned touchscreen for frequently used controls.
Jaguar has placed particular emphasis on creating a refined and immersive environment. Its advanced body architecture, Active Road Noise Cancellation and dual-isolated drive units work together to minimise unwanted noise and vibration.
The innovative Jaguar Immersive Sound System, featuring a full-width Meridian-powered Panoramic Soundbar, creates an exceptional listening experience. Sensory Audio technology allows occupants to physically experience music through their seats, while hot stone massage functionality adds another level of comfort.
The result is a beautifully considered interior designed to deliver a sense of calm, sophistication and effortless luxury on every journey.
Electric Performance Without Compromise
Beneath its striking exterior, Jaguar Type 01 introduces an advanced all-electric powertrain engineered to deliver extraordinary performance.
With up to 1,030PS and 1,365Nm of torque, the new GT is the most powerful Jaguar road car ever produced, capable of accelerating from 0–62mph in just 3.2 seconds.
Its tri-motor electric powertrain features Intelligent Torque Vectoring, delivering precise power distribution and responsive handling. Combined with a balanced 50:50 weight distribution, Type 01 has been engineered to provide the dynamic performance expected of Jaguar.
An advanced 850-volt electrical architecture and 118kWh usable battery provide an anticipated electric driving range of up to 450 miles WLTP, making Type 01 equally suited to long-distance grand touring.
Rapid charging is another key feature, with the ability to replenish up to 200 miles of driving range in as little as 13 minutes using a compatible 350kW DC rapid charger.
These figures demonstrate Jaguar's ambition to combine exceptional performance with the convenience, efficiency and refinement of next-generation electric technology.
Designed, Engineered and Manufactured in Britain
British craftsmanship and engineering remain central to the identity of Jaguar Type 01.
The new model has been designed and engineered in the UK, with production scheduled to begin at JLR's Solihull manufacturing facility in 2027.
Electric Drive Units and battery packs will be manufactured in Wolverhampton, while pressed body panels will be produced in Halewood, Merseyside.
This investment reinforces Jaguar's commitment to British manufacturing, advanced engineering and the development of future automotive technologies.
When Will the New Jaguar Type 01 Be Available?
Jaguar has confirmed that customers will be able to order the new Type 01 in early 2027, with first deliveries expected during the second half of the year.
UK prices are expected to start from £130,000, positioning Type 01 within the exclusive luxury grand touring segment.
From its unmistakable design and beautifully considered interior to its extraordinary electric performance, Jaguar Type 01 represents a defining moment for the British marque.
Drawing inspiration from iconic Jaguar grand tourers such as the E-Type and XJS, the new GT introduces a bold vision for the future while remaining connected to the craftsmanship, innovation and driving character that have shaped the brand's history.
