A 1,016‑hp, 1,365 Nm electric powertrain powers the Type 01, a three‑motor beast that rockets from 0‑100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. The system rides on a 118‑kWh, 850‑volt battery, a first for Jaguar’s new Electric Architecture (JEA).
EPA‑approved range tops 644 km, with highway endurance at 515 km. A 350 kW DC fast charger can jack the battery up by 321 km in just 13 minutes—an aggressive figure that matches the Porsche Taycan GT’s 600‑km range in a shorter time.
On the chassis, the Type 01 boasts torque‑vectoring, air suspension and active dampers, plus a rear‑wheel‑steering system that keeps the car alive on track. Inside, a 24‑inch glass‑based display merges instrument cluster and infotainment, while front seats offer heating, ventilation and massage, with a cabin split into three zones by a central spine.
Production will kick off in 2027 at Solihull, with the drive units and battery packs sourced from Wolverhampton and body panels from Halewood, Merseyside. Bookings are slated to open in early 2027, with the first cars rolling off the line later that year.
For buyers, the Type 01 slots into the high‑performance EV niche that currently includes Tesla Model S Plaid, Porsche Taycan GT and Mercedes‑EQS. Its combination of raw power, long range and advanced chassis tech positions Jaguar as a credible challenger in the premium segment, while import duties and EV mandates will shape pricing in different markets.
Keep an eye on the 2027 launch window: official production dates, pricing, and any upcoming variant announcements will determine how the Type 01 stacks against its rivals.
