Jaguar Type 01 Heads for 2027 Production With 1,030PS, 400 Miles of Range and a £130,000 Starting Price

Jaguar has unveiled the Type 01 in New York, and it is going into production. JLR calls the four-door electric GT the most technically advanced, powerful and aerodynamic Jaguar ever engineered.

Production starts in 2027 at Solihull, UK, orders open in early 2027, and prices start from £130,000. It is the first production Jaguar built on the company’s dedicated Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), and the first of a new generation of all-electric Jaguars.

The 400-Mile Range Claim: What Jaguar’s Battery and Charging Figures Mean

The 118kWh usable battery and 850-volt system give an expected EPA range of up to 400 miles, roughly 644km. At a constant 75mph, JLR says range is up to 320 miles, which is the more useful guide for motorway use.

Charging is rated at up to 350kW. JLR says 200 miles can be added in as little as 13 minutes, but the time depends on battery age, temperature, state of charge and the charger used.

Higher range figures, such as 450 miles, have circulated elsewhere. They are not in JLR’s release, so 400 miles is the figure to use.

The battery is reported to come from Agratas, a Tata Group company. Another reported detail is that 32 cells sit ahead of the bulkhead, where an engine would normally be, helping the car reach a 50/50 weight distribution.

Three Motors, 1,030PS and 2.7 Tonnes: How the Performance Numbers Add Up

JLR quotes up to 1,030PS and 1,365Nm, with 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds. That output is equal to about 1,015bhp.

The layout is reported as one motor at the front and two at the rear, moving roughly 2.7 tonnes. A 100-200km/h time of 4 seconds has also been reported, which points to strong mid-range pull rather than only a fast launch. That figure is not in JLR’s release.

Reported chassis details include air suspension with adaptive dampers and 6 degrees of all-wheel steering. Independent driving impressions are not yet available, so ride and handling remain unjudged.

Jaguar Type 01 vs Large Electric Rivals: Length, Battery and Weight Compared

The table compares the Type 01 with six large electric and performance cars on size, usable battery and weight.

Model	Length	Usable battery	Weight
Cadillac Celestiq	5.5m	111kWh	3,109kg
Rolls-Royce Spectre	5.5m	112kWh	2,890kg
Jaguar Type 01	5.2m	118kWh	2,700kg
Polestar 5	5.1m	106kWh	2,500kg
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4-door	5.1m	106kWh	2,556kg
Porsche Taycan Turbo S	5.0m	97kWh	2,295kg
Jaguar I-Pace	4.68m	85kWh	2,208kg

Three things stand out. The Type 01 has the largest battery of the cars listed and is the third longest. It is also the third heaviest, though about 190kg lighter than the Spectre and about 409kg lighter than the Celestiq.

Against its predecessor, 118kWh is nearly 40% more than the I-Pace’s 85kWh. Price, power and range are not compared here, because that data is not available for every car.

Design First, Engineering Second: Why the Type 01 Looks the Way It Does

The most polarising design feature is the missing rear window. The tail lights sit within a “strikethrough” theme, a corrugated pattern that also appears on the nose.

Reported details include 84mm-tall headlights with 20,000 LEDs each and a single 3m panel on the rear three-quarter. The more significant engineering point is packaging: only 133mm separates the top of the wheel arch from the bonnet, which leaves little room for suspension movement.

Aerodynamics matter here too. The car is reported at 0.23 Cd, with active front vanes that open for battery and brake cooling and a rear spoiler giving up to 75kg of downforce.

A further reported claim is 4kg of forward thrust from rear airflow at 140km/h. That is a small number, and the drag figure is the more meaningful one given the car’s shape.

Inside the Jaguar Type 01: Screens, a Central Spine and a Rear Camera Mirror

The cabin is minimalist and largely touch-based. Reported equipment includes a 24-inch OLED display and a separate 7-inch portrait screen for climate control. A central spine runs through the cabin, holding storage and cup holders.

With no rear window, a camera feeds a screen-style mirror on the dash. In theory it is a sound idea. In practice, the position of the infotainment screen may partly block the view rearward, which is worth checking on a production car.

Area	Details
Seating	Four seats; the spine splits the rear cabin
Rear access	Door openings are narrow, so entry and exit take some care
Rear space	Knee room is adequate; taller passengers may find headroom tight
Boot	About 450 litres, and shallow
Audio	Meridian system with a panoramic soundbar

Will the Jaguar Type 01 Come to India? What Jaguar’s Local Timeline Suggests

Jaguar’s managing director has indicated that the car could reach Indian customers around the second half of 2027, roughly autumn. India pricing was still being worked out at that point.

No Indian price appears in the available sources, so none is given here. The UK price from £130,000 is the only confirmed figure.

JLR is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, part of Tata Sons. The Tata Sons chairman described the Type 01 as the first production car of Jaguar’s new era.

What the Jaguar Type 01 Means for Jaguar and What to Watch Next

For JLR, Jaguar is the brand that will be entirely electric, and the Type 01 is the first production proof. JLR says it is targeting double-digit growth over five years, with North America a priority market.

Several questions remain open: homologated range, real-world charging, how usable the screen-led cabin and rear camera prove to be, and rear-seat practicality. Each needs testing on production cars.

For now, the facts are clear. The Type 01 is real, it has a date, and it has a price.
