Jaguar Reveals Type 01 Electric Grand Tourer
Jaguar’s production Type 01 keeps the Type 00 concept’s striking design, pairing it with three motors, a large battery and an unresolved price.
Jaguar has unveiled the Type 01, the production version of its divisive Type 00 electric concept, at an event in New York City. The four-door grand tourer retains much of the concept’s long, low shape while adding rear doors and revealing the specifications behind Jaguar’s electric reinvention.

A bold design reaches production
The Type 00 followed Jaguar’s 2024 rebrand, which drew a sharply divided response. According to Engadget, Jaguar intended the controversy to help attract younger, affluent buyers willing to consider something different. Managing director Rawdon Glover said at the launch that choosing the car would be a bold decision.
At 17.1 feet long, the Type 01 remains unusually large. Its stretched hood, low roof and fastback silhouette carry over from the concept. WIRED says the production car’s additional doors and slightly softened front end make the design more cohesive. At the rear, full-width lights sit within a pattern of horizontal lines and become visible when illuminated.
There is no rear window. Instead, a rear-facing camera sends a view of what is behind the car to a display near the base of the windshield. Despite its length, the car has rear-wheel steering to help it maneuver; Engadget reports a 37.7-foot turning circle.
Performance and range
Three motors—one at the front and two at the rear—drive the Type 01. Engadget lists output at 1,016 horsepower and says it can reach 60 mph from a standstill in 3.2 seconds. WIRED reports up to 1,030 PS and a 3.2-second run to 62 mph, using a different power unit and acceleration benchmark.
Both reports describe an 850-volt electrical architecture, a 118-kWh battery and a projected range of 450 miles under the WLTP test cycle. Their estimates for the US EPA cycle differ: Engadget gives approximately 385 miles, while WIRED says up to 400 miles. Both also report Jaguar’s claim of up to 320 miles at sustained highway speeds. WIRED says a 350-kW rapid charger can add up to 200 miles of range in 13 minutes.
Active aerodynamic features include front vanes and a deployable rear spoiler. WIRED reports a drag coefficient of 0.23; Engadget specifies that figure with optional 21-inch wheels.
Cabin and unanswered questions
A central divider separates the front occupants in a cabin built around touchscreens rather than conventional switches. WIRED describes a 24-inch display ahead of the driver and a seven-inch screen between the front seats for functions including climate and audio controls.
Jaguar has not confirmed a sale date or price in the reports. Their price expectations differ substantially: Engadget suggests the low- to mid-$100,000 range, while WIRED puts a possible starting price around $170,000. For now, the Type 01’s market position remains less certain than its design.
