The new four-door luxury EV based on the Type 00 concept is due to be revealed next year, with the first cars hitting the road in 2027. Here’s news editor Jamie Edkins to tell you all about it.
There haven’t been many cars more controversial than the Jaguar Type 00 concept from last year. This blocky two-door luxury car represents a dramatic change in direction for the British brand, as it goes from making sporty petrol-powered saloons and SUVs to ultra-luxurious electric cars.
And now the roadgoing version of the Type 00 concept has been spotted testing at the Nurburgring. It’s a four-door saloon rather than a coupe, and it’ll use an all-new collection of parts exclusive to Jaguar.
Remember, you can buy a brand new or used car right here on Carwow. And you can sell your car, too. We’re here to help you through every step of your car-changing journey.
The Jaguar Type 00 was just a concept car, but the pre-production version appears to be staying true to the styling.
It still has an imposing long bonnet, which is entirely a stylistic choice because there’s no engine under there, and it still has that bluff front end from the Type 00. The side profile has changed slightly due to the extra set of doors, but it still has a sporty sloping roofline.
The concept car also has no rear window, but it’s hard to tell if this production car has one or not. You can see the slim LED taillights poking through the wrap though, and if it’s anything like the concept then they’ll be integrated into some strakes which span the rear of the car.
The Type 00 concept was met with mixed emotions by Jaguar fans, but I for one think it looks awesome. It’s a breath of fresh air to see a car maker trying something different, and I’m super excited to see the production version when it’s revealed next year.
This new Jaguar will be based on an all-new collection of parts called the Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), and there won’t be any part sharing with the upcoming Range Rover EV.
Jaguar has confirmed that this car will have around 480 miles of range, but it stopped short of telling us about battery sizes or motor options. Being a big luxury car, you can expect to see a dual-motor setup with more than 500hp on tap.
The Jaguar Type 00 represents a huge change for the brand, and it’s not one that its diehard fans took too well. It all started with a wild rebrand at the end of 2024, which brought a new logo and an exuberant advertising campaign which many people said alienated its core customer base.
Jaguar has also stopped building petrol-powered sports cars, saloons and SUVs as it moves towards a fully electric future. The Type 00 concept was a first look at Jaguar’s new design language, and it was once again a huge departure from Jags of old.
In the months that followed you may have seen reports of plummeting sales for the brand, and a lot of the naysayers were quick to blame the rebrand for this decline. The thing is, the cause of this drop in sales is not down to the change in direction, the reason is actually much simpler.
Jaguar has actually stopped building cars while it gears up for its electric future, and it can’t sell cars if it doesn’t make them. There are plenty of used Jaguars from 2024 with low mileage available through Carwow, and this is the closest you’re going to get to a new one for a while.
