Jaguar unveils electric car Type-01 with 720 km range and fast charging

Jaguar has introduced its new electric vehicle, the Type-01. This British brand previously released the Type-00 model in 2024, and the Type-01 is significantly more inspired by that previous model. The car is developed based on Jaguar's electric architecture.

The Type-01 distinguishes itself from other company models with its design and is aimed at the luxury market. It is capable of developing over 1000 horsepower and has a claimed range of up to 720 kilometers. The interior accommodates four passengers.

The car is equipped with powerful hardware, including a three-motor configuration: two are located at the rear, and one is at the front. This system provides 1030 hp and a torque of up to 1365 Nm. The total weight of the car is about 2.7 tons, and it can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3.2 seconds.

The Type-01 is fitted with a 120 kWh battery, which provides the claimed WLTP range of 720 kilometers. Furthermore, by charging the car for only 13 minutes, a distance of 321 kilometers can be covered. Additionally, charging from 10% to 80% takes only 22 minutes.

The car's interior is divided into four zones, and the dashboard uses a pattern mimicking a hood. There are no physical buttons; climate control and other functions are managed via a central touchscreen located so as not to inconvenience the driver.

The car features a 24-inch OLED display. Jaguar is facing declining sales, and it needs to present new designs to attract new consumers. Currently, the company has not announced prices for the Type-01. Although the price will not equal that of a Rolls-Royce, it will exceed the cost of the brand's flagship vehicle.

Deliveries of the Jaguar Type-01 are expected to begin in mid-2027. The car is also planned for release in India, where its cost may be around 2 crore rupees.
