Jaguar announces the Type 00 EV concept, with a range of 770 km, globally expected in 2025-26, and likely to cost about $127,000.
Open to officially announcing its new electric vehicle concept, Type 00 GT at Miami Art Week 2024, Jaguar brings another step closer for the brand that is transitioning to electric mobility. The Type 00 EV Concept will flaunt the bold styles and advanced technology that Jaguar brought into the world. It is truly going to be nothing but an advanced showcase of future electric vehicles.
Design and Features
Type 00 GT has made a cool and over-the-top look that will undoubtedly attract attention. It bears an angular, column, and boxy outline with a long hood and coupe rear which are natural qualities of a true GT. The cabin moves more to the rear, and the front has razor-thin lights and a huge grille. Very uncovered at the back, with centrally placed taillamps that would complete an ultra-modern feel of the style. The latest design from Jaguar, now tagged with the name ‘exuberant modernism,’ has all the attributes of being bold and different from the rest. Keeping true to these philosophies, their goals are to give their cars a unique position in the market and perhaps redefine how people think about them.
The Interior
The Jaguar Type 00 EV Concept is very much within minimalism: a tall centre console bisects the driver and passenger sections, thereby widening the feeling of space. Two big fold-out displays round off the modern look of the car inside. To personalize the driving experience, Jaguar features three customizable interior moods under the name of ‘totems’; Brass, Travertine, and Alabaster which allow users to adjust those screen visuals and ambient lighting so that no two journeys are quite alike.
The Specifications
Not just looks, it has fantastic performance specifications as well. Little specifics regarding the battery have been revealed thus far. However, it seems that Jaguar boasted of a startling range of 770 km on full battery charge. For instant charging, at the same time, drivers can look forward to gaining 321 km in a mere 10 minutes. Truly, the Type 00 is a high-performance EV, ready to take on competition in the worldwide market.
EV Advanced Platform
Built upon the JEA platform that will be allocated solely to electric vehicles, the Type 00 will become the foundation for all future Jaguar EVs. This innovative architecture will help ensure a high level of efficiency and performance throughout the upcoming Jaguar electric range. The intent of the company was clear: they wanted to be one of the major players in the electric vehicle segment while improving their luxury status beyond that of the mass market.
Jaguar Global Plans for Launch
Production of the Jaguar Type 00 EV Concept is expected to begin soon, which will be followed by global launches between 2025 and 2026. Initial rollout markets would mainly be the UK and US, where Jaguar enjoys a strong presence. For phase two of the launch strategy, India is expected to fall out towards late 2026 or early 2027 for the launch. The estimated price for this premium four-door GT will be around USD 127000, emphasizing the fact that Jaguar now intends to place this vehicle firmly within the luxury segment of the EV market.
In brief, the Jaguar Type 00 GT is a bold leap ahead in electric mobility from one of the most iconic names in Britain. With striking design, advanced technology, and performance at impressive levels, it sets the bar rather high for future electric vehicles. As Jaguar readies itself for this exciting and entirely new chapter in its history.
