Jaguar reveals the Type 01 — but the production EV is splitting opinion
Jaguar has revealed the production version of its controversial Type 00 electric GT saloon — and the backlash is still fierce.
Jaguar has unveiled a production version of its Type 01 electric GT saloon, the first new electric vehicle from the British brand since its I-Pace debuted in 2018. The announcement comes after the brand rebranded itself in 2024, sparking criticism from various quarters over its direction. Jaguar assures that the Type 01 is "a copy of nothing," retaining the concept's signature "exuberant proportions" and sleek silhouette while adding a 400-mile EPA range and 0-62mph acceleration in 3.2 seconds.
Critics, however, remain divided, with some accusing Jaguar of alienating traditional customers and others deeming it "unfinished." As luxury EV sales struggle globally, particularly in the high-end market, Jaguar's success with the Type 01 will be crucial for the brand's future, but the stakes are high.
