“Andrew Wheel says that the new car is 'The truest expression of Jaguar, in the context of today.'”
No Rear Window Design
The Type 01 has no rear window, with horizontal slats breaking up the monotony and hiding rear lights.
“It is also impossible to see rearward in the Type 01 without the aid of a camera, as there is no rear window”
Front Design Features
The Type 01 has high headlights that extend to the edges for a confident front appearance.
“Wheel, pointing out the slim headlights, notes that 'They’re high, to give it a proud, confident look to the front of the car, and then they go right to the edges to emphasize the width.'”
Paint Options
The Type 01 offers a 'German rainbow' of paint colors with limited editions in French Ultramarine or London Red.
“The rest of the palette consists of white, silver, grey, black, two shades of greyish-blue, and a 'Mermerizing Copper' drab brown”
Interior Space
The Type 01 has a small interior with a 2+2 seating configuration and limited legroom.
“Yes, the Type 01 is small inside. Such that describing it as a four-door 2+2 isn’t far off”
Interior Design
The Type 01 features a minimalist interior with a 24-inch instrument screen and 7.0-inch center screen.
“The view from the driver’s seat features the 24-inch instrument screen in front of the oval steering wheel, with the rearview camera screen just above in terms of line of sight”
Electric Performance
The Type 01 delivers 1015 hp and 1007 pound-feet of torque from its tri-motor configuration.
“What was once 'more than 1000 hp' is now an official output of 1015 hp and 1007 pound-feet of torque from the tri-motor configuration”
Charging Capabilities
The Type 01 can add up to 200 miles of range in 13 minutes with 850-volt charging.

Jaguar opened pre-orders for the Type 01 with a starting price of $130,500.

2027 Launch Timeline
First deliveries of the Type 01 are expected by mid-2027 after pre-production.
