Jaguar has unveiled its first new-generation electric vehicle concept, the Type 00 (pronounced Type Zero Zero) GT, which will go into production soon. Jaguar showcased the Type 00 concept at the Miami Art Week 2024, and here’s a closer look at the upcoming new-generation electric vehicles from Jaguar.
Jaguar Type 00 EV concept — Design and features
The design of the new Type 00 concept is polarising. It features a boxy design but with typical GT proportions like a long bonnet and a coupe-ish finish towards the rear. The cabin is set towards the rear of the car while the front portion gets an upright design with sleek lights. The overall design is low-slung, but the upright front grille can bring polarising thoughts. Towards the rear, the taillamps are set in the centre portion of the bodywork, while the car does not feature a rear glass.
Inside, the Jaguar Type 00 concept gets a minimalistic interior and the driver and passenger sections are divided by a raised centre console. The cabin features two massive fold-away displays and the company says the in-car experience can be tailored via three ‘totems’, Brass, Travertine and Alabaster. Jaguar says using these totems, one can set the interior mood such as adjusting the screen graphics and ambient lighting amongst others.
Jaguar Type 00 EV concept — Battery specifications and range
In terms of battery specifications and other details, Jaguar has not revealed anything about the Type 00 concept. However, the company has said that the production version of the Jaguar Type 00 will have a range of 770km on a full charge and the car can do 321km with just 10 minutes of charge with a quick charger.
The Jaguar Type 00 concept will be based on the JEA platform, specifically designed for EVs and will underpin all future electric vehicles from the brand. The Jaguar Type 00 concept will be put into production soon and will go on sale in the global markets by 2026.
