JAGUAR TYPE 01: A NEW ERA BEGINS

7 October 2026

New luxury four‑door GT represents the essence of Jaguar with exuberant modernist design, instinctive driving dynamics and pioneering technologies that will define the future of luxury performance.

  • One‑of‑a‑kind: Jaguar Type 01 is a luxury four‑door GT like no other. A bold new grand tourer that never arrives unnoticed, like all the best Jaguars of the past
  • Exuberant proportions: Low roofline, short front overhang, long bonnet, extended rear overhang and 23‑inch wheels. Presence and drama from every angle
  • Pioneering foundations: Unique JEA body architecture and state‑of‑the‑art propulsion to deliver the original design vision
  • Boundary‑breaking: More than 360 patent applications to make Type 01 the most technically advanced Jaguar ever engineered
  • Most aerodynamic Jaguar: Active Vanes, three‑stage deployable spoiler and airflow optimisation delivers drag co‑efficient of 0.23
  • Drives like a Jaguar: Two dynamic characters. Deep reserves of power. Refined comfort and 50:50 weight distribution. The essence of Jaguar
  • Power in reserve: Most powerful Jaguar road car, with up to 1,030PS and 1,365Nm. Type 01 pulls from 62‑112mph (100‑180km/h) in 4.0 seconds – 0‑62mph (0‑100km/h) in 3.2 seconds
  • Electric freedom: 850‑volt architecture and 118kWh usable battery deliver an expected EPA range of up to 400 miles. Sustained highway speed range of up to 320 miles
  • Central spine: Cabin is split into four individual spaces with longitudinal brass‑effect anodised aluminium finishers emphasising Type 01’s scale
  • Crystal clear: Single glass 24‑inch OLED screen optimises brightness and clarity. Central seven‑inch smartphone‑style touchscreen controls key functions
  • Sound stage: Jaguar Immersive Sound System envelops occupants, with Sensory Audio and the automotive‑first full‑width, full‑range Panoramic Soundbar
  • Made in Britain: Type 01 is designed, engineered and built in the UK

Jaguar Type 01 is the first of a new era. A luxury four‑door GT that looks and drives like no other electric car. A copy of nothing.

The first Jaguar production car born under the exuberant modernist creative philosophy. Low, with a long bonnet, sleek silhouette and dramatic presence, it never arrives unnoticed – the best of Jaguar's past, distilled into a luxury electric GT of the future. 

Type 01 is characterised by dramatic proportions and clean surfacing. Conceived in the design studio with no constraints on a blank sheet of paper and honed to perfection in the wind tunnel. Designers and engineers united to achieve the original design vision. The most aerodynamic Jaguar ever without compromising the purity of the design.

Achieving Jaguar’s vision for a modern electric GT with four doors, more than 1,000PS and signature Jaguar driving character demanded a new body architecture. Nothing in the automotive realm could deliver Type 01’s dramatic silhouette and thrilling drive so it sits on foundations unique to Jaguar. Designed, developed and built in the heart of the UK.

The creative engineering and singular focus behind this electric‑only architecture is the enabler for both Type 01’s distinctive proportions and captivating driving dynamics. The result is the most technically advanced Jaguar to date, with more than 360 patent applications. The most powerful Jaguar road car ever created shrinks around the driver with 50:50 weight distribution. Two dynamic characters in one epic drive. Deep reserves of power and refined comfort.

Tri‑motor technology with Intelligent Torque Vectoring puts the power precisely where it’s needed, with up to 1,030PS and 1,365Nm of torque, achieving 0‑62mph (0‑100km/h) from 3.2 seconds. More than just pure acceleration, Type 01 delivers a sense of always having power in reserve. Its rate of rolling acceleration demonstrates this, going from 62mph to 112mph (100km/h to 180km/h) in 4.0 seconds. Know‑how from the double world championship‑winning Jaguar TCS Racing Formula E team helped finesse its unique character.

A 118kWh battery and 850‑volt architecture means clients can complete up to 99.7 per cent of all journeys without interruption1, with an anticipated EPA range of up to 400 miles (up to 450 miles / 720km of WLTP range2) and the ability to add up to 200 miles (321km) of range in as little as 13 minutes3 using 350kW rapid DC charging. 

Inside, a central spine runs the length of the cabin to create individual spaces for each occupant. It is mirrored on each side by brass‑inspired elements that run from front to back, defining the longitudinal nature of the interior. The Interactive Driver Display – a 24‑inch single glass OLED screen – places absolute control directly ahead of the driver, providing exceptional clarity and operating the intuitive new Jaguar Infotainment. An additional smartphone‑style seven‑inch display between the driver and front passenger places the most common key controls within instinctive easy reach. Immersive audio creates a wall of sound using a full‑width, full‑range, automotive‑first Panoramic Soundbar with Sensory Audio seats.

From its dramatic design to its captivating drive, Type 01 distils the essence of Jaguar into a car for a new era. Jaguars should be objects of desire and culturally relevant – that’s their natural habitat and where Jaguar is returning. Type 01 is the foundation of the brand, one that makes no compromise between design and engineering in our quest to reinvent Jaguar for the 21st century.

Every trip in Type 01 is an occasion. From the visual statement of its exterior to its dramatic interior. The exterior colour palette shows Type 01’s pure surfacing in the very best light. Clients can choose from gloss colours or satin finishes that accentuate the monolithic quality of Type 01. The exterior Fender Ingot showcases the famous leaper, crafted with precision.

About Type 01 

Type 01 inaugurates a new era for Jaguar. Designed, developed and built in the UK, Type 01 is the first production Jaguar created on Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), a dedicated platform enabling an entirely new approach to design, proportions and occupant experience. 

A luxury four‑door GT, Type 01 embodies Jaguar's renewed vision of modern luxury, combining dramatic design, craftsmanship and innovation to create an unmistakable presence and emotional connection. 

Type 01 is the first of a new generation of Jaguars. Its name references both Jaguar's legendary lineage and its all‑electric future: "Type" nods to iconic predecessors, "0" signifies zero tailpipe emissions and "1" marks the first of a new generation. 

Orders are expected to open in early 2027, with first client deliveries anticipated in the second half of the year.
