Official price and specifications for the electric new Jaguar Type 01

Introduction to the Jaguar Type 01 electric grand tourer

Jaguar is reinventing its brand with a bold new flagship. The all-new Jaguar Type 01 is a fresh direction for the historic British marque and the first production vehicle built on the bespoke Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA). Designed, developed, and engineered in the United Kingdom, this four-door electric Grand Tourer combines striking design with current electric vehicle technology.

By prioritizing aerodynamic performance and visual presence, the Type 01 channels traditional Jaguar proportions into a modern form. It features an exceptionally long hood, a low profile, and a monolithic stance that captures attention from every angle. The engineering team behind the Type 01 aimed to shatter expectations rather than simply meet them, delivering an electric vehicle that promises a driving character unlike anything else currently on the luxury market.

Pricing, trim availability, and market release

For buyers in the United States, the Jaguar Type 01 has an official starting MSRP of $130,500, which does not yet include mandatory destination fees; for those planning their purchase, our guide to negotiating a new car price offers helpful tips. Order books for the U.S. market open in early 2027, with the first client deliveries expected in the second half of the year. This pricing targets high-end luxury performance buyers looking for exclusivity and distinct styling.

Along with standard production models, Jaguar is offering special collections for collectors and early adopters. For example, a limited run called the Chromatic Moments collection will feature exclusive paint options like French Ultramarine and London Red, restricted to 60 cars globally. Launch configurations like the Design Vision curation use finishes such as Visionary Silver Satin to emphasize the vehicle's minimalist exterior geometry.

Powertrain, performance, and driving dynamics

Under its dramatic exterior is a high-performance drivetrain. The Type 01 uses a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system consisting of a 260 kW front motor and twin 310 kW rear motors housed in a single compact casing. This configuration delivers a combined output of up to 1,015 horsepower (1,030 PS) and 1,007 lb-ft (1,365 Nm) of torque, making it the most powerful road-going Jaguar ever produced.

Performance matches the output figures, with the grand tourer accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. Rolling acceleration from 62 to 112 mph takes 4.0 seconds. To manage this power efficiently, the vehicle uses fast-switching silicon carbide inverters and patent-pending Inverter Deactivation Technology. This system can shut down the rear motors during low-demand scenarios, such as highway cruising, to switch to single-axle operation and preserve driving range.

The chassis and suspension feature a double-wishbone front setup and an integral-link rear layout paired with four-corner air suspension, switchable-volume air springs, and twin-valve active dampers. Additionally, all-wheel steering allows the rear wheels to turn up to six degrees, providing agility in urban environments and stability at high speeds. Active aerodynamics, including active front vanes and a three-stage deployable rear spoiler, help the Type 01 achieve a drag coefficient of 0.23.

Battery, range, and charging capabilities

Energy storage for the Type 01 is provided by a 118 kWh usable lithium-ion battery pack using side-terminal prismatic cells and proprietary NMC chemistry. Jaguar estimates a driving range of up to 400 miles on a single charge with standard 21-inch wheels, while European WLTP testing figures reach 450 miles. The battery architecture includes an eight-year or 100,000-mile warranty.

Charging performance is improved by an 850-volt electrical architecture and advanced thermal management systems. The vehicle supports 350 kW DC fast charging, which can add 200 miles of range in 13 minutes or take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 22 minutes. In the United States, the Type 01 is NACS-compatible, providing access to the Tesla Supercharger network—a vital consideration when deciding if an EV is right for your daily drive—alongside standard dual-powered AC charge ports on either side of the vehicle.

The thermal management system, ThermAssist, moves energy between the cabin, drive units, and battery pack. It can cool the interior in the summer or harvest ambient air heat in the winter to prepare the battery for optimal performance. Additionally, connected navigation features integrated route planning that automatically schedules charging stops and monitors energy consumption in real time.

Interior design, technology, and comfort

The cabin is a minimalist environment inspired by natural elements like travertine stone and anodized brass finishes. A defining feature is the Signature Brass-inspired center spine that runs the length of the cabin, dividing the space into four individual seating areas while housing hidden cupholders, storage compartments, and rear-row climate controls. The seating uses wool-blend Kvadrat DuoWeave textiles wrapped around leather or Ultrafabrics NeoGrain.

Technology integration is comprehensive and discreet. The driver has a 24-inch single-glass OLED display that merges instrumentation and infotainment. This is complemented by a secondary 7-inch vertical touchscreen between the front seats for climate and seating controls, as well as an individual screen for rear occupants. Audio is handled by a 38-speaker Meridian sound system featuring a full-width Panoramic Soundbar at the base of the windshield and Sensory Audio technology that allows occupants to feel the music.

Practicality is maintained despite the vehicle's silhouette. The powered rear tailgate opens to reveal more than 15.8 cubic feet of combined trunk space, which expands to over 35 cubic feet with the 50:50 split rear seats folded down. Additional features include a ClearSight Rear View display housed within the soundbar, a 3D surround camera system, and a voice assistant designed to handle conversational, multi-step instructions.
