GoKawiilJaguar reveals Type 01, first production EV of its relaunched lineup
Jaguar has unveiled the Type 01, a four-door electric GT built on its new JEA platform, marking the brand's return to showrooms after discontinuing its previous lineup. The car evolves the design shown in last year's Type 00 concept, adding production-required elements like reflectors and four doors, but keeps the rearless-window styling.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The launch follows a turbulent rebrand period in which Jaguar canceled a planned electric sedan and halted production of older models like the F-Pace, leaving it with no vehicles to sell for a stretch. Jaguar has said it intends to reposition itself at a far higher price point, roughly double its previous entry cost, which could reshape its customer base and brand identity going forward.
- Type 01 is Jaguar's first production model since relaunching as an EV-only brand
- It's built on the new JEA platform and follows the controversial Type 00 concept
- Jaguar has signaled a shift toward a much higher starting price than before
