Jaguar introduced its new all-electric model, the Type 01, during an event in New York. The launch follows a controversial preview in 2024 that drew widespread criticism, but the actual vehicle has received a more tempered response. Opinions remain divided, with some critics reassessing their initial judgments.
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.
Jaguar revealed the Type 01, a four-door electric production car with no rear window, unveiled in New York. The car claims a 400-mile range and a 0-60 mph time of 3.1 seconds, with US prices starting at $130,500 and UK prices at £130,000; sales begin in early 2027 with deliveries later that year.
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.
Jaguar has revealed the Type 01, a production four-door electric grand tourer based on its divisive Type 00 concept. The car uses three motors producing up to 1,016 horsepower, a 118kWh battery rated for 400 miles of range, and fast charging that adds 200 miles in 13 minutes. Jaguar says orders open in early 2027 with deliveries later that year, and one variant will start at $130,500.
Jaguar has revealed the production version of its Type 01 grand tourer, retaining the prototype's low roofline, long hood and 23-inch wheels while adding extra doors and a softened front end. The all-electric car uses a tri-motor setup producing up to 1,030 PS and 1,365 Nm, reaching 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, and features an 850-volt architecture with a 118-kWh battery offering up to 400 miles of EPA range.
JLR has revealed the Range Rover Sport Electric, sharing its dual 260-kW motor powertrain with the Range Rover Electric but tuned for sportier performance, including a 4.3-second 0-60 mph time in Dynamic Launch Mode. The SUV uses a 118.5-kWh battery for a claimed WLTP range of up to 374 miles, with 800-volt architecture enabling 136 miles of added range in 10 minutes under ideal conditions; UK pricing starts at £109,810, with US pricing not yet announced.
Adaptive driving beams (ADBs), which selectively dim portions of a headlight beam to avoid blinding oncoming drivers while keeping the rest of the road lit, are starting to appear on US vehicles. The technology has been used for years in Europe and Asia but was blocked in the US until the NHTSA revised its lighting regulations in 2022. Automakers must now prove their systems meet NHTSA's detailed performance benchmarks, which Rivian lighting engineer Carlos Montes says are stricter and more measurable than those in other markets.
Waymo now runs commercial robotaxi service in 15 U.S. cities, up from three in September 2024, and logs about 500,000 paid rides weekly. Fleet data shows roughly 80% of its 4,000 vehicles are registered in California and Texas, with Texas registrations up 49% in three weeks to 1,102 vehicles as of September 24, partly driven by a new Zeekr-based minivan called 'Ojai'.
Waymo announced plans to bring its autonomous vehicles to Singapore, marking its expansion beyond the US and into a second Asian market after Tokyo. Jaguar I-PACE vehicles will arrive soon so specialists can manually drive and map Singapore's roads throughout 2027, adjusting Waymo's systems for local road layouts and weather before public rides begin via its app in 2028.
Jaguar Land Rover has revealed its first fully electric Range Rover, arriving in 2027 with a 118.5-kWh battery, dual 349-horsepower motors producing 542 combined horsepower, and an EPA-estimated range of at least 333 miles. The SUV supports 350 kW charging, adding roughly 125 miles in 10 minutes and going from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes, and will be built at JLR's Solihull plant in England.
Jaguar Land Rover has revealed the Range Rover Electric, its first mass-produced battery-electric variant of the luxury SUV, arriving in 2027 with a starting price of $138,000. The company says it already has 80,000 expressed interest from potential buyers, half of them in North America, with most being new to the brand. Visually the EV closely resembles its combustion and hybrid siblings, distinguished mainly by a smoother front grille and more aerodynamic wheels.
