2027 Jaguar Type 01 Detailed: 757kW Electric Grand Tourer Arrives from $300,000

Jaguar has officially unveiled the Type 01, a luxury four-door electric grand tourer that serves as the production realization of the Type 00 concept and spearheads the brand's transition into an exclusive, electric-only marque. The vehicle is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Powertrain, Performance, and Charging

Built on the bespoke Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), the Type 01 utilizes a tri-motor electric powertrain delivering 757kW of power (exceeding 1,000PS) and 1,365Nm of torque. This enables the large grand tourer to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in a claimed 3.2 seconds. The rear-biased all-wheel-drive system can disengage the rear motors when not required to improve efficiency.

Energy is stored in a 118kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery pack, providing a maximum WLTP driving range of up to 720km, or 643km under the EPA testing standard. The Type 01 features an 850-volt electrical architecture that supports DC fast-charging up to 350kW, which can add 321km of range in 13 minutes. It also incorporates split-charging capability allowing 250kW charging at 400 volts, alongside a 22kW AC charging capacity.

To manage its substantial proportions, the Type 01 features a 50:50 weight distribution and a Dynamic Air Suspension system integrating switchable volume air springs and twin-valve active dampers. The vehicle is equipped with a double-wishbone front and integral link rear suspension setup, all-wheel steering that delivers an 11.5-metre turning circle, and standard Pirelli P Zero tyres.

Powertrain and Dimension Specifications

(Note: Official vehicle width and exact kerb weight specifications have not been detailed in the initial release materials.)

Exterior and Cabin Features

The exterior design of the Type 01 is characterized by a long bonnet, short front overhang, and a lack of a rear windscreen. It features HD LED headlights comprising 17,000 pixels each, active grille shutters, flush deployable door handles, and a deployable rear spoiler. The vehicle rides on 21-inch or 23-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin is divided by a central spine and utilizes a travertine stone-inspired color palette with materials including Woolblend Kvadrat DuoWeave textile, UltraFabrics NeoGrain, and leather. The flooring incorporates recycled materials.

Key Interior Equipment:

• 24-inch glass OLED Interactive Driver Display
• 7.0-inch smartphone-style central display linking the dashboard and console
• Digital rear-view display embedded at the base of the windscreen
• 38-speaker Meridian sound system, including a 13-speaker Panoramic Soundbar and Sensory Audio front seats with integrated headrest speakers
• 12-way power-adjustable front seats with heating, cooling, and 'hot-stone' massaging functions
• 50:50-split folding rear seats with heating and cooling
• 7.0-inch dedicated display for rear-seat occupants
• Panoramic glass roof with virtual dimming capability
• Dual wireless smartphone chargers and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Active noise cancellation, fragrance diffuser, and colour-adjustable ambient lighting

The Type 01 offers five selectable drive modes: Jaguar, Dynamic, Efficient, Ice & Snow, and a customizable Curated mode. The Dynamic setting sharpens throttle and steering responses, stiffens the suspension, and can send up to 87 per cent of the powertrain's output to the rear axle for a more engaging driving experience.
