   Jaguar Unveils Type 01 Electric Grand Tourer

   British luxury automaker Jaguar has unveiled its first vehicle since a radical rebrand, launching the all-electric Type 01 grand tourer in New York. Priced at £130,000 or $130,000, the four-door sedan delivers 1,016 horsepower with a 643-kilometer range. Measuring more than 5.2 meters long and two meters wide, the vehicle targets wealthy young American and Canadian buyers. The design follows a controversial corporate reboot that previously sparked online ridicule and criticism, which the company utilized to attract a younger audience open to new aesthetic directions.

   Why it matters

   The launch marks a high-stakes transition for Jaguar as it joins luxury rivals Ferrari and Bentley in testing the EV market for affluent buyers. The vehicle draws a clear lineage from classic models like the E-type and XJS while adopting a radical new aesthetic. Its massive dimensions present practical challenges, as the sedan is too long for standard UK parking spaces.
