Jaguar has unveiled its first model since the brand's relaunch. The Type 01 is an electric four-door sedan that the company is positioning as a luxury grand tourer. It starts at 165,000 euros. According to Jaguar, orders will be accepted starting in early 2027. The car will be built in the United Kingdom.

Power is provided by three electric motors: a 260-kW (349-hp) motor on the front axle and two 310-kW (416-hp) motors on the rear axle. According to Jaguar, the system output is up to 757 kW (1,015 hp), with a maximum torque of 1,365 Newton-meters(1,007 lb-ft). The Type 01 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds and from 100 to 180 km/h (62 to 112 mph) in 4.0 seconds. All-wheel steering reduces the turning radius to 11.5 meters (37.7 feet), and the weight distribution is 50:50. The suspension features adjustable air springs and active dampers.

720-Kilometer Range, 350-kW Charging Power

The usable battery capacity is 118 kWh with an 850-volt architecture. The expected WLTP range is up to 720 kilometers (447 miles). At a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), Jaguar cites a range of up to 515 kilometers (320 miles). According to the company, up to 320 kilometers (199 miles) of range can be recharged in 13 minutes using a fast charger with up to 350 kW. It takes about 22 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent. At 400-volt charging stations, split charging allows for up to 250 kW, and up to 22 kW on the AC side.

Active cooling air fins and a three-stage retractable rear spoiler contribute to the car's efficiency. The drag coefficient is 0.23. That would be the best figure Jaguar has ever achieved.

Dimensions and Interior Space

The Type 01 is 5,235 millimeters (206.1 inches) long and 1,403 millimeters (55.2 inches) high. It comes standard with 23-inch wheels; 21-inch wheels are available as an option. The trunk has a capacity of over 450 liters (15.9 cubic feet), expanding to up to 1,000 liters (35.3 cubic feet) with the rear seats folded down. In the cockpit, a 24-inch OLED display is positioned in front of the driver. Instead of a rearview mirror, a camera feed provides a view of the area behind the vehicle.

According to Jaguar, the central cockpit computer and the driver-assistance system are based on Nvidia technology. The stability control system is from Bosch (VDC 2.0), and the tires were developed by Pirelli in collaboration with Jaguar. The audio system is from Meridian.

"The Type 01 is the foundation of the brand," said Jaguar CEO Rawdon Glover. It is a vehicle that makes no compromises between design and technology as the brand reinvents itself.

Technology in Detail: How Jaguar Gains Space and Rigidity

To kick things off, Jaguar has released two infographics on architecture and powertrain. The Type 01 is built on the new JEA electric architecture, which integrates the body and battery into a single structure. The wheelbase is approximately 3.2 meters (10 feet 6 inches), and the torsional stiffness is 51.7 kilonewton-meters per degree (about 38,100 pound-feet per degree). According to Jaguar, this is the highest value the brand has ever achieved for an integrated body and battery structure.

Front End and Battery: According to Jaguar, a patented structure called the “Tri-Apex Node” distributes forces of up to 26 metric tons. This allows the battery and control systems to be moved further forward, in front of the A-pillar. According to Jaguar, the space saved adds about 150 PS (148 hp) and 112 kilometers (about 70 miles) of range. The high-voltage junction box is located between the front wheels and also serves as a strut bridge for the front axle. This increases rigidity and contributes to the 50:50 weight distribution.

The underfloor battery is split into two sections. This preserves legroom in the rear, and the front seats are positioned low. The connections for the 200 prismatic cells are located on the sides rather than on top. According to the manufacturer, this means that 80 percent of the pack’s height consists of active material. The cell chemistry is a nickel-manganese-cobalt mixture containing more than 90 percent nickel.

Body: The aluminum side panel, approximately three meters long, is pressed into five smooth surfaces that converge at a single point. According to Jaguar, this went beyond the capabilities of conventional simulation and required 1,500 hours of meticulous work. Only 133 millimeters (5.2 inches) remain between the wheel well and the hood. The elliptical opening leaves room for suspension travel. At 140 km/h (87 mph), the rear generates approximately four kilograms of downforce, according to Jaguar, contributing to a c_W value of 0.23.

Powertrain: The silicon carbide inverters switch variably between 2 and 20 kilohertz. When cruising, they can shut off the rear motors, which adds up to 29 kilometers (18 miles) of range. Torque is distributed in a 30:70 ratio between the front and rear axles; according to Jaguar, the traction control system responds in one millisecond. The rear unit, with its two motors, achieves a torque density of 51 Newton-meters per kilogram (37.6 pound-feet per kilogram). The thermal management system redirects heat in a targeted manner. For every kilowatt of energy used, it generates about three kilowatts of heating power and extracts heat even from outside air at minus 15 degrees (5 °F).
