Jaguar Type 01: 0-60, Specs & Price
Jaguar's first production car since the brand went electric-only is a 5.24-metre grand tourer making up to 1,015 horsepower from three motors. The manufacturer estimates 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds. It was revealed on October 6, 2026 and will go on sale in early 2027 at $130,500 in the US.
The quick answer on performance: 3.1 seconds is the figure Jaguar quotes, based on secondary reporting from the reveal materials; Jaguar's own press table lists 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds. No independent test numbers exist yet. Orders open in early 2027 and production starts at the JLR plant in Solihull around the same time.

| Top speed | not stated |
| Drivetrain | EV, AWD |
| Curb weight | ~2,700 kg (~5,950 lb) |
| Battery (usable) | 118 kWh |

Note on the power figure: some sources cite 1,030 mechanical horsepower and 1,365 Nm of torque. The 1,015 hp figure appears in most coverage of the reveal. Both are secondary-sourced; Jaguar has not published an official press release with a standalone power spec at time of writing.
Powertrain and battery
The Type 01 uses a three-motor layout -- two motors at the rear axle, one at the front -- in a configuration Jaguar calls a "performance asymmetric setup." The rear-biased torque split is intended to deliver a tail-heavy handling balance more like a sports car than a crossover.
The 118 kWh usable pack is managed by 800-volt architecture, enabling the 350 kW fast-charging rate that adds 200 miles in 13 minutes. Home charging on a 22 kW AC unit fills the pack overnight. The official EPA range estimate of up to 400 miles assumes the optional 21-inch wheels; the standard 23-inch wheels reduce range by a margin Jaguar has not specified.
The weight story
At roughly 2,700 kg (nearly three tonnes), the Type 01 is among the heaviest cars in this performance bracket. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric, which also runs 2.1 seconds in independent tests, weighs about 2,700 kg too; the Lucid Air Sapphire, tested at 1.89 seconds, is closer to 2,200 kg. The Jaguar carries roughly 500 kg more than the Lucid for its SUV-adjacent grand-touring footprint.
The practical consequence: 1,015 horsepower pushing 2,700 kg gives a power-to-weight ratio of about 375 hp per tonne. Run those numbers through the power-to-weight calculator and you land roughly where the 3.1s estimate puts the car -- competitive with a Porsche Taycan Turbo S, quicker than most SUVs, but not in the territory of a lighter performance EV like the Tesla Model S Plaid (1.99s at roughly 2,100 kg).
That is not a criticism. The Type 01 is a 5.24-metre grand tourer, not a sedan optimized for acceleration. Its design priority is range, comfort, and presence.
Range and charging at a glance
| Scenario | Figure |
|---|---|
| EPA range (21-inch wheels) | up to 400 miles |
| EPA range (23-inch standard) | not yet stated |
| DC fast charge at 350 kW | 200 miles in 13 minutes |
| AC charge at 22 kW | full overnight |
| Architecture | 800V |
How it compares
The Type 01 sits in an interesting performance window: quicker than any production SUV to 60, but slower than a Lucid Air Sapphire. Its closest direct competitors by price and character are the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo GT, the Lucid Air Grand Touring, and the forthcoming Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door EV. The EV 0-60 ranked list puts the full field in context.
| Car | 0-60 | HP | Price (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porsche Taycan Turbo GT (Weissach) | 2.1s tested | 1,092 hp | ~$230,000 |
| Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric | 2.1s tested | 1,139 hp | ~$163,000 |
| Tesla Model S Plaid | 1.99s | 1,020 hp | ~$96,630 |
| Lucid Air Grand Touring | ~3.0s | 819 hp | ~$139,900 |
| Jaguar Type 01 | 3.1s | 1,015 hp | ~$130,500 |
| Lucid Gravity Grand Touring | 3.4s | 828 hp | ~$95,000 |
Price and availability
The US price is approximately $130,500, putting the Type 01 above the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring (~$95,000) and the Tesla Model S Plaid (~$96,630) but well below the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT (~$230,000). Jaguar has not announced trim levels or options pricing beyond the base figure.
Order intake opens in early 2027. Series production begins at the JLR Solihull plant around the same time. No deliveries are expected before mid-2027.
Jaguar's relaunch context
The Type 01 is the first product from Jaguar's complete repositioning as an electric-only luxury brand. Jaguar paused new car sales in most markets in early 2025 and spent the interim retooling the Solihull factory and redesigning its entire lineup. The Type 00 concept, shown in December 2023, introduced the visual language: bright, sculptural, deliberately unlike anything Jaguar made before.
The Type 01 is a production interpretation of that concept. Its 5.24-metre length and 1.4-metre height position it as a grand tourer rather than a sedan or SUV, a category Jaguar occupied with the XJ12 and XJR in the 1990s.
Measure your own electric car
The Type 01 will not be in most driveways for another year. But if you own a performance EV and want real numbers rather than manufacturer estimates, FastTrack measures your 0-60 and rolling acceleration with your iPhone's GPS, no additional hardware required. Store every run and watch how battery charge level, temperature, and tire choice move the number. Then compare against the EV 0-60 leaderboard to see where you rank against other owners of the same model.
For the value side of the EV performance market, the affordable fast EVs list covers what the same money buys under $65,000.
FAQ
What is the Jaguar Type 01 0-60 time?
Jaguar estimates 0-60 mph in approximately 3.1 seconds and 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds. These are manufacturer estimates based on secondary reporting from the October 6, 2026 reveal; no independent third-party test numbers exist at this time. The 3.1s figure is consistent with the car's power output and estimated weight of ~2,700 kg.
How much does the Jaguar Type 01 cost?
The US price is approximately $130,500 before options. Jaguar has not announced trim levels or a full options list. Order intake opens in early 2027.
How does the Jaguar Type 01 compare to the Porsche Taycan?
The Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package is significantly quicker (2.1s tested vs. 3.1s estimated) and more expensive (~$230,000 vs. ~$130,500). The Taycan Turbo S runs about 2.4 seconds and starts around $186,000. The Type 01 is closer in price to the Taycan 4S, which runs about 3.8 seconds and starts around $97,000.
When does the Jaguar Type 01 go on sale?
Order intake opens in early 2027. Series production begins at the JLR plant in Solihull at approximately the same time, with first deliveries expected no earlier than mid-2027.
What range does the Jaguar Type 01 get?
Jaguar claims up to 400 EPA miles on the optional 21-inch wheels. The standard 23-inch wheels reduce range by an unspecified margin. Charging at 350 kW adds 200 miles in 13 minutes.
Why is the Jaguar Type 01 slower than its horsepower suggests?
The Type 01 weighs approximately 2,700 kg, about 500 kg more than the Tesla Model S Plaid. Power output is similar between the two cars, but the Jaguar's extra mass means a lower power-to-weight ratio and a slower 0-60. The fastest cars of 2026 list shows where the full field lands.
