Jaguar Unveils £130,000 Type 01 EV in Major Brand Reboot
Jaguar has debuted its all-electric Type 01 luxury vehicle, carrying a £130,000 or $130,000 price tag as part of a sweeping reboot for the British brand. The launch took place with a world premiere in New York, shifting focus toward younger American luxury buyers rather than traditional UK markets. The unveiling follows earlier online ridicule regarding the brand's stylistic rebrand and pink marketing materials, which the company has now sidelined. Luxury rivals including Ferrari and Bentley are similarly pushing into electric vehicles to test wealthy consumer appetite.
Why it matters
The new luxury electric vehicle represents a decisive pivot for the Tata Motors-owned British carmaker. Jaguar chose to debut the 1,000PS Type 01 electric GT in New York rather than Britain, targeting US luxury buyers and competitors like Lucid and Rimac. Reviewers noted that the large vehicle exceeds standard UK parking space lengths.
