Jaguar Unveils Production Version of Its Controversial Concept EV, Type 01
Jaguar has revealed its first electric vehicle (EV), the Type 01, which closely resembles the divisive concept car unveiled earlier. The production model retains much of the original design's controversial aesthetic but shifts to a four-door grand tourer format. Despite internal changes at Jaguar—including the reported departure of the concept’s lead designer—the final product remains visually similar. The vehicle features an aggressive low-slung silhouette, 23-inch wheels, and distinctive interior elements such as leather and brass detailing alongside cutting-edge technology like a 24-inch OLED display behind the steering wheel. Performance-wise, it is powered by three electric motors delivering up to 1,016 horsepower with a range of approximately 400 miles on a single charge. The Type 01 will be available in early 2027 at an expected starting price of $130,500. Jaguar has already opened signups for customer interest and is preparing to begin production later this year.
