Jaguar Unveils Type 01 Electric Grand Tourer

Overview

• The Type 01 is a four‑door grand tourer built on Jaguar Electric Architecture with a tri‑motor powertrain rated at about 1,030PS and 1,365Nm that does 0–62 mph in 3.2 seconds.
• Jaguar says the car uses a 118 kWh battery, an 850‑volt electrical system and supports up to 350 kW DC charging, with company claims of roughly 400 miles EPA or 450 miles WLTP range.
• The company set UK pricing from about £130,000, opened orders in early 2027 and plans first customer deliveries in the second half of 2027 while assembling the car in Solihull.
• Jaguar confirmed it will offer lower‑powered AWD variants in addition to the high‑output Design Vision model, and engineers said a rear‑motor deactivation feature can add roughly 29 km of range when cruising.
• Key near‑term questions are independent testing of Jaguar’s range and charging claims, whether buyers will pay premium prices for a low‑volume sedan, and a smooth production ramp across the UK supply chain.
