The Jaguar Type 01 starts at approximately £130,000 in the UK and around $130,500 in the US. It can travel up to roughly 450 miles on a single charge and accelerates from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds.
Jaguar introduced a new brand identity in November 2024 with an advertisement featuring models in bright clothing and slogans like "Live Vivid," but it included neither a car nor the traditional logo. This drew widespread social media backlash and public questioning from figures like Elon Musk.
The Type 01 is a four-door luxury grand tourer with a long bonnet, low roofline, frameless doors, and a camera replacing the rear window. It represents the brand's shift into high-end electric vehicles as its most advanced and aerodynamically superior car yet.
