Jaguar’s comeback car has 1,015 horsepower and no rear window
Jaguar revealed the Type 01 in New York, a four-door electric grand tourer with three motors, a 400-mile EPA range, a camera where the rear window used to be and a $130,500 starting figure on its US site.
Specs, price and dates checked against Jaguar USA's Oct. 6, 2026, press release and its US Type 01 page on Oct. 7, 2026. Jaguar says final customer models and features may change before launch, and the price carries a footnote we could not read.
Jaguar has been quiet for a while. It ended that on Tuesday night in New York by revealing the Type 01, a four-door electric grand tourer that Jaguar calls the most powerful car in the brand’s history. Jaguar also says this is the most significant moment for the company since the Jaguar name was established in 1935. No pressure, then.
What it is
The Type 01 is a large four-door GT, all-electric, and Jaguar says it is designed, engineered and built in the UK. It is the first production Jaguar on what the company calls Jaguar Electric Architecture, a platform built only for its new electric cars. The press release says it has a clear line back to the E-type and the XJS. Whether you see that in the photo is between you and your optometrist.
The numbers
Three electric motors drive all four wheels. Jaguar’s US site lists up to 1,015 horsepower and 0 to 60 mph from 3.1 seconds. That is a lot of shove for something with four doors and, presumably, a coat hook.
The battery side is just as confident. Jaguar quotes up to 400 miles of EPA range. On a 350 kW fast charger, Jaguar says it can add 200 miles in 13 minutes, or go from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 22 minutes. The electrical system runs at 850 volts, which in plain terms is part of how it takes a charge that quickly. The battery comes with an eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty.
Underneath, there is four-corner air suspension with active dampers, plus all-wheel steering. Turning the rear wheels a little helps a big car feel smaller in town and calmer at speed.
No rear window
The tailgate has no glass. To make up for it, Jaguar puts a camera feed on a screen inside what it calls the Panoramic Soundbar, a full-width Meridian speaker bar along the base of the windshield. That screen does the job of the rearview mirror. It is a bold move, and it means your first parking-garage reverse will be done entirely on trust.
Wheels go up to 23 inches, with a 21-inch all-season wheel also offered.
Price and timing
Jaguar’s US Type 01 page shows a starting figure of $130,500. That number carries an asterisk, and we could not read the footnote, so treat it as a starting point rather than a window sticker. Orders open in early 2027, with first customer deliveries expected in the second half of that year. Jaguar also notes that the car shown is the vehicle as it enters production, and that final customer models and features may change before launch.
Our take
Jaguar has bet the whole brand on one very fast, very expensive four-door with no rear window. The specs are strong on paper, and the price puts it squarely in serious luxury territory. The real test starts when orders open, and when the first owners try to back it into a driveway.
