Overview
- Jaguar revealed the production version of the Type 01 at its early‑October presentation, confirmed a Q1 2027 market launch window and indicated orders will open around then with prices starting near €165,000.
- The car is a technical flagship with three electric motors rated up to 1,030 PS (757 kW) and 1,365 Nm, a 118‑kWh battery on an 850‑volt architecture, WLTP range claims up to about 720 km and up to 350 kW DC charging that Jaguar says will take 10–80% in roughly 22 minutes.
- The design keeps the radical proportions of the concept—about 5.24 m long, only ~1.4 m high and no conventional rear window—provoking sharp public and media reactions and distancing the model from Jaguar’s traditional customer base.
- Jaguar will refit and rebrand select dealers at its cost, steer sales toward manufacturer‑led leasing to protect prices, and plans a second body variant likely to be an SUV to broaden the small model range.
- Company executives frame the Type 01 as central to Jaguar’s turnaround after a year without new models and announced job cuts, but major risks remain: uncertain demand in China, a smaller dealer network, and the financial exposure of holding vehicles on Jaguar’s balance sheet as leases.
