Jaguar Unveils £130,000 Type 01 EV as First New Model in 8 Years

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Oct 7

Summary

  • Jaguar presented the £130,000 Type 01 grand tourer, its first new fully electric model and first new car launch in eight years.
  • Early 2027 orders will mark the next step in a brand reset that halted new-car sales in the UK more than two years ago and narrowed Jaguar to luxury EVs.
  • The Type 01 is meant to revive the British marque by shifting it upmarket and toward younger buyers, especially in the US.
  • That push breaks with Jaguar’s traditional image as a brand favored by middle-aged men and long associated with British prime ministers.
