    Why it matters

    The Type 01 follows a polarizing rebranding effort by Jaguar that initially drew internet ridicule and ditched previous visual identities. The brand aims to reposition itself to compete for luxury shoppers who might otherwise consider high-end marques like Bentley and Rolls-Royce. The vehicle arrives amid questions over how urban drivers will handle its massive footprint and premium price tag.
