Jaguar has officially unveiled the Type 01, its all-electric four-door GT, marking the first production model from its complete reinvention as an electric-only luxury brand. The car is designed, developed and crafted in the UK. Orders open in early 2027, with first deliveries expected in the second half of 2027.
Jaguar's manufacturer claims: a target range of 400 miles under EPA testing conditions, 850-volt electrical architecture, and the ability to add 200 miles of range in approximately 13 minutes from a 350-kilowatt rapid charger. The power output exceeds 1,000 PS. Jaguar has not yet announced a confirmed retail starting price.


For luxury car buyers, the Type 01 moves Jaguar firmly out of the executive saloon segment into ultra-luxury territory. The 850-volt platform is a practical advantage for buyers planning long-distance travel—13-minute rapid charging sessions could replace petrol stop timing at premium destinations.


The absence of a rear window, the most widely discussed design choice, is addressed by an interior digital camera mirror system. Jaguar says this provides equivalent or better rear visibility than a conventional glass window.


This is a manufacturer reveal, not a production reality. The 400-mile range figure uses EPA test conditions and is a manufacturer-estimated target; final figures remain subject to change. Final pricing, market equipment specifications, and production-specification performance figures remain unconfirmed. Buyers comparing against current available alternatives—including the options reviewed in Karmactive's breakdown of the [Tesla Model 3 in Australia](https://www.karmactive.com/tesla-model-3-australia-cheapest-electric-sedan-2026/)—should note that the Type 01 is a production model with pre-production specifications subject to change, with deliveries still more than 12 months away.


How much will the Jaguar Type 01 EV cost and when is it available?
Jaguar has not announced a confirmed starting price. Customer deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2027, with the order book opening in early 2027. Availability, pricing, and specifications may vary by market.
Jaguar will release final configuration and pricing details for specific markets in early 2027.
