Jaguar Type 01 confirmed as brand's next car
Jaguar has confirmed the name of its first all-new model, following the brand's re-launch.
The Type 01 will be officially unveiled later this year, as a four-door GT with an anticipated starting price of more than £100,000.
Jaguar previously said tt will target a range up to 478 miles WLTP on a single charge and adding up to 200 miles of range in as little as 15 minutes when rapid charging.
The luxury car will feature a 1000PS tri-motor powertrain.
In Jaguar Type 01, the ‘0’ represents electric propulsion and zero tailpipe emissions; ‘1’ denotes its status as the first Jaguar of a new era.
The Type 01 was designed, developed and will be built in the UK.
Rawdon Glover, Jaguar managing director, said: “We have reimagined Jaguar for a new era, with inspiration from what has gone before. Our engineers have achieved this with a vehicle that looks and drives like no other electric car, yet reflects a unique provenance.
"The Type 01 name is part of that story – for me, the zero also signifies a complete brand reset, and the ‘1’, our first car for a new chapter, a ‘one of a kind!’”
Jaguar has ended retail sales of new cars in the UK, in November 2024, ahead of its re-launch as an all-electric brand.
By 2028, three electric Jaguar models are expected to be on sale, including a luxury saloon and a large SUV.
Jaguar kickstarted its rebrand with the unveiling of the Type 00 coupe, in December 2024. The car was showcased alongside new branding at Miami Art Week.
