2027 Jaguar Type 01: 1,030 PS, 400-Mile Range, Specs & Price

The production Jaguar Type 01 is finally here. With up to 1,030 PS, a 118-kWh usable battery, 850-volt architecture, an expected 400-mile EPA range and one of the boldest designs in the luxury EV market, Jaguar's reinvention has moved from concept to reality.

Updated: October 7, 2026 · Production specifications revealed

Jaguar has officially unveiled the Type 01 in New York, turning one of the industry's most closely watched concept-to-production stories into a real luxury electric grand tourer.

The production car retains the unusual long-hood, low-roof proportions that made the Type 00 concept so controversial, but the engineering underneath is now much more important than the styling debate.

The numbers are serious.

Jaguar has confirmed up to 1,030 PS, a massive 1,365 Nm of torque, a 118-kWh usable battery, 850-volt architecture and an expected EPA range of up to 400 miles.

It can also add up to 200 miles of range in as little as 13 minutes when connected to a sufficiently powerful 350-kW DC fast charger.

DriveSpecLab Quick Answer: The Jaguar Type 01 is a four-door luxury electric GT built on Jaguar's dedicated JEA platform. Its tri-motor drivetrain produces up to 1,030 PS and 1,365 Nm, enabling 0–62 mph in 3.2 seconds. A 118-kWh usable battery and 850V electrical system support an expected EPA range of up to 400 miles. Orders open in early 2027, with first deliveries expected in the second half of 2027.

The Type 01 Is Now the Most Powerful Road-Going Jaguar Ever

The headline number is 1,030 PS.

That translates to roughly 1,016 mechanical horsepower and makes the Type 01 the most powerful production road car Jaguar has created.

Its three electric motors generate up to 1,365 Nm of torque, while Jaguar's Intelligent Torque Vectoring system distributes power where it can be used most effectively.

Jaguar claims 0–62 mph in 3.2 seconds.

Perhaps more relevant to a grand tourer is its rolling acceleration: Jaguar says the Type 01 can accelerate from 62 to 112 mph in 4.0 seconds.

Why the rolling-acceleration figure matters: Type 01 is not being positioned merely as a launch-control EV. Strong acceleration at highway speeds is more relevant to the effortless, high-speed performance expected from a true luxury grand tourer.

A 118-kWh Battery and 850V Architecture

Under the dramatic body sits a substantial 118-kWh usable battery pack.

Jaguar combines it with an 850-volt electrical architecture, placing Type 01 among the new generation of high-voltage EV platforms designed for both high performance and faster DC charging.

118-kWh Battery → 850V Architecture → 350-kW DC Charging → Up to 400-Mile EPA Estimate

The 850V system is particularly important because maintaining very high charging power becomes easier when voltage increases and current can be reduced for the same electrical power.

That can help reduce resistive losses and heat, although the vehicle's real charging performance will depend on its complete charging curve rather than only its advertised peak.

Jaguar Type 01 Range: Up to 400 Miles EPA

Jaguar now estimates that the Type 01 will achieve up to 400 miles of EPA driving range.

For markets using the WLTP cycle, Jaguar expects up to 450 miles or 720 km.

Those are manufacturer estimates ahead of final homologation rather than certified numbers, so they may change before customer cars arrive.

Jaguar has also published an unusually useful highway figure: approximately 320 miles at a sustained 75 mph.

DriveSpecLab note: The earlier pre-reveal target of roughly 430 miles should no longer be used as the headline U.S. range figure. Jaguar's newly announced production-car estimate is up to 400 miles EPA.

200 Miles of Range in 13 Minutes

Jaguar says the Type 01 supports up to 350-kW rapid DC charging.

Under favorable conditions, the company claims drivers can add as much as 200 miles of range in approximately 13 minutes.

That does not mean every charging session will operate at 350 kW continuously.

Battery temperature, starting state of charge, charger output, battery conditioning and the vehicle's charging curve can all affect real charging speed.

Still, the combination of an 850V system, large battery and 350-kW peak puts Type 01's charging hardware firmly into modern premium-EV territory.

Jaguar Did Not Abandon the Type 00 Design

One of the biggest questions before the reveal was whether the extreme proportions of the Type 00 concept would survive production.

They largely have.

The Type 01 uses a low roofline, short front overhang, unusually long hood and extended rear overhang, riding on large 23-inch wheels.

Those proportions intentionally reject the cab-forward shape used by many dedicated EVs.

Jaguar wants the Type 01 to visually read as a grand tourer first and an electric car second.

Key Exterior Engineering

0.23 drag coefficient: Jaguar calls Type 01 its most aerodynamic production car.

Active Vanes: Active aerodynamic elements help manage airflow.

Three-stage deployable spoiler: Aero performance can change depending on driving conditions.

23-inch wheels: Large wheels reinforce the unusual body proportions.

JEA platform: Jaguar's dedicated architecture was designed around the proportions rather than adapting an existing ICE platform.

More Than 360 Patent Applications

Jaguar says development of the Type 01 has resulted in more than 360 patent applications.

That is notable because the vehicle is intended to establish much more than a new styling language.

Type 01 introduces the engineering foundation Jaguar expects to use for the next generation of the brand.

The dedicated Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA) allows the battery, electric drive units, cabin and body proportions to be designed as one system rather than adapting components from an existing gasoline vehicle.

50:50 Weight Distribution and Formula E Influence

Straight-line performance is only part of Jaguar's pitch.

The Type 01 has a claimed 50:50 weight distribution, and Jaguar says lessons from its championship-winning Formula E program helped refine the vehicle's dynamic character.

That does not turn the Type 01 into a road-going Formula E car.

But expertise in electric-motor control, energy management and software-based torque delivery can transfer from motorsport development into production EVs.

Jaguar describes the car as having two characters: strong dynamic ability when the driver wants it, but the refinement and composure expected of a luxury GT during long-distance travel.

The Interior Is More Interesting Than a Wall of Screens

Jaguar has taken a different approach from the screen-heavy cabins appearing in many premium electric vehicles.

A structural-looking central spine extends through the cabin and visually divides it into four individual occupant spaces.

Brass-effect anodized aluminum elements emphasize the length of the cabin and give the interior a more architectural feel.

Technology is still prominent, but it has been integrated more deliberately.

Type 01 Interior Technology

24-inch OLED driver display: A single-glass display sits directly ahead of the driver.

7-inch central touchscreen: Frequently used controls sit on a smartphone-style screen between the driver and front passenger.

Jaguar Infotainment: A new interface debuts with Type 01.

Panoramic Soundbar: Jaguar says the full-width, full-range soundbar is an automotive first.

Sensory Audio seats: The audio system is designed to create a more physical, immersive experience.

Jaguar Type 01 Price

Jaguar has confirmed that Type 01 pricing will start from £130,000 in the UK.

That immediately establishes the new Jaguar as a significantly more exclusive product than the sedans and SUVs that defined much of the brand's previous era.

However, Jaguar has not yet announced official U.S. MSRP.

Do not simply convert £130,000 into dollars and call it the U.S. price. Regional taxes, equipment, import positioning and Jaguar's market strategy mean U.S. MSRP can differ materially from a currency conversion.

When Can You Buy the Jaguar Type 01?

Jaguar says orders will open in early 2027.

First customer deliveries are expected during the second half of 2027.

Production will take place in the United Kingdom at JLR's Solihull facility.

The electric drive units and battery packs will be produced in Wolverhampton, while pressed body panels will come from Halewood.

This makes Type 01 not only Jaguar's brand reset but also an important part of JLR's next-generation UK manufacturing investment.

Why North America Matters to Jaguar's New Strategy

The choice of New York for the Type 01's global debut was not insignificant.

JLR has identified North America as a priority growth market within its broader strategy.

That makes the final U.S. price, charging compatibility, EPA certification, dealer experience and ownership costs especially important.

A 400-mile estimated range would also position the car strongly for the type of long-distance interstate driving that matters to U.S. luxury-EV buyers.

Jaguar Type 01 vs Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air and Other Luxury EVs

Competitor Why Buyers May Compare It Type 01's Position
Porsche Taycan Performance-oriented electric GT with premium chassis focus Type 01 targets more range and a more dramatic luxury identity
Lucid Air Long range, very high power and premium EV engineering Lucid emphasizes efficiency; Jaguar emphasizes GT character and design
Audi e-tron GT Four-door premium electric grand tourer Jaguar offers substantially more radical proportions and positioning
BMW i7 High-end electric luxury with strong rear-seat appeal BMW is limousine-oriented; Jaguar is designed as a driver-focused GT
Mercedes-AMG EVs High-performance luxury electric alternatives Jaguar differentiates through bespoke design and dedicated brand architecture

Type 00 Concept vs Production Type 01

Jaguar Type 00 A two-door design concept created to introduce Jaguar's new “Exuberant Modernist” styling philosophy. It was never intended to be a direct production car.
Jaguar Type 01 A production four-door GT using the dedicated JEA platform, tri-motor propulsion, a 118-kWh usable battery and real customer-ready cabin technology.

The important point is that Jaguar did not simply convert the Type 00 concept into a practical four-door sedan.

Instead, it carried the concept's visual philosophy into a different production vehicle designed around actual grand-touring use.

What We Still Don't Know

Despite the extensive reveal, several details remain important for U.S. buyers.

U.S. MSRP: Not yet officially announced.

Final EPA certification: 400 miles remains an expected figure.

Full charging curve: Peak charging power does not show how long the car holds high power.

10–80% charging time: Jaguar's current headline focuses on miles added in 13 minutes.

Curb weight: Important for understanding efficiency and handling.

Complete trim structure: Individual versions and option packages remain to be detailed.

U.S. standard equipment: Regional specifications may differ.

Warranty: Final U.S. vehicle and high-voltage battery coverage still needs confirmation.

Is the Jaguar Type 01 Actually Competitive?

On paper, yes.

A near-400-mile EPA target, 350-kW charging, 1,030 PS and a dedicated high-voltage EV architecture give the Type 01 specifications that belong in the top tier of current luxury electric cars.

But Jaguar's challenge is larger than winning a specification table.

At this price level, customers expect exceptional software, build quality, ride comfort, charging reliability, service and residual value alongside performance.

That is why the first independent road tests may matter more than the headline 1,030-PS figure.

DriveSpecLab Verdict

The reveal has answered the biggest question surrounding Jaguar's reinvention: there is serious engineering underneath the dramatic design.

A 118-kWh usable battery, 850V architecture, 350-kW charging, 1,030 PS and an expected 400-mile EPA range give Type 01 enough technical substance to be evaluated as a genuine high-end electric GT rather than simply a styling exercise.

Its strongest feature may actually be the combination rather than any one number.

Jaguar is attempting to deliver extreme performance, long-distance range, very rapid charging, four-seat luxury and unmistakable styling in one vehicle.

The remaining questions are equally important: U.S. price, real-world efficiency, charging curve, curb weight, software quality and how it actually drives.

If Jaguar gets those elements right, Type 01 could become one of the most important luxury EV launches of 2027—and the car that finally gives the reinvented Jaguar a credible foundation.
