Jaguar reveals the Type 01’s screen-free interior

Jaguar has unveiled the interior of its upcoming Type 01 electric GT ahead of its October debut. The four-seat cabin features a panoramic glass roof and technology designed to seamlessly integrate into the car. The Type 01 boasts a central spine running through the cabin, separating the interior into four distinct spaces and serving as a "signature art piece" made of brass-inspired material.

The dashboard is minimalist, featuring a digital display in front of the driver and a small touchscreen for heating and infotainment mounted on the central spine. Jaguar has distanced itself from the large-screen approach found in many other luxury EVs, opting instead for a cleaner cabin with a focus on materials and design. The car's four-seater layout, low and sweeping roofline, and panoramic glass area all contribute to a sense of openness and luxury.

In a departure from traditional luxury cars, Jaguar has removed the conventional rear window and physical rear-view mirror, opting for a digital rear-view camera instead. This design choice allows for greater flexibility with the car's rear design while still providing the driver with a live view behind the vehicle. The interior materials, such as travertine stone and artisan textiles, along with the brass-inspired finish of the central spine and door trim, contribute to the car's luxurious feel.

Jaguar's new Type 01 is expected to be the first production model of the company's electric reinvention, and its unveiling at Monterey Car Week in California followed by a full reveal in New York on October 6th marks a significant step in the brand's effort to establish itself alongside established luxury brands.
