GoKawiilJaguar unveils Type 01 electric sedan with 450-mile range and radical design
Jaguar has revealed the production version of its Type 01 electric car, carrying over the long, low, polarizing design from its 2024 Type 00 concept. The car stretches 17.1 feet long, lacks a rear window in favor of a camera system, and uses an 850-volt architecture with a 118 kWh battery to deliver up to 450 miles of WLTP range.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Jaguar's managing director Rawdon Glover said the bold styling is intended to attract younger, wealthier buyers, moving away from what he described as the brand's existing base of 'men in their 50s.' This suggests Jaguar is betting that provoking strong reactions, rather than avoiding them, could reposition the brand for a different EV customer base, though whether that gamble pays off commercially remains untested.
- Jaguar's Type 01 production EV keeps the stretched, low-slung look of its controversial 2024 concept.
- The car offers up to 450 miles WLTP range via an 850-volt, 118 kWh battery and skips a rear window for cameras instead.
- Jaguar says the divisive design is deliberate, aimed at attracting younger, more affluent buyers than its current customer base.
