Jaguar has put a number on its comeback car. The production Type 01, a four-door electric grand tourer, will start at around $130,000 in the US, with up to 450 miles of range on the WLTP cycle and a 0–62 mph time of 3.2 seconds, according to CNBC’s report on the October 7 announcement. It is the headline model of the reinvented Jaguar brand, and it is aimed squarely at wealthy buyers rather than volume.
What Jaguar has confirmed
Reporting from Electrifying and others puts the Type 01’s key figures as follows. Treat the range as a WLTP number, which is more generous than the US EPA test.
- Battery: 118 kWh usable, on an 850-volt electrical system
- Power: three motors, all-wheel drive, up to about 1,030 hp
- Range: up to 450 miles WLTP; one report estimates roughly 385 miles on the EPA cycle, which Jaguar has not confirmed
- Charging: up to 350 kW DC, with roughly 22 minutes quoted for 10–80%
- Layout: four seats, with a camera replacing the rear window
Price and timing by market
The US figure is about $130,000. In the UK, Electrifying quotes roughly £120,000, and Australian reporting points to around A$300,000 when the car arrives there next year. Sources differ on delivery timing: CNBC’s coverage points to first deliveries in 2027, while Electrifying says orders open in early 2027 and the first cars arrive in the second half of that year. Jaguar has not announced pricing for the UAE, so Gulf buyers will need to wait for an official importer announcement.
Why it matters
Jaguar’s controversial rebrand came two years ago, and CNBC notes the launch arrives as parent JLR recovers from last year’s cyberattack, a month after it announced 4,000 job cuts. At $130,000 the Type 01 will compete in a small, expensive segment, and Jaguar has said it plans to sell fewer cars to more affluent customers. Whether the radical styling wins buyers is something we will only learn once the first cars are on the road.
