Jaguar Type 01 production interior revealed. Built on JEA EV architecture with tri-motor AWD, 746kW output, 3.3s 0-100km/h, 120kWh battery, 700km WLTP range. Priced from 1.08 to 1.35 million yuan.
Interior Design Revolution: Farewell to British Living Room Style
The Jaguar Type 01 production interior has been officially unveiled, completely departing from the brand's long-standing British living room aesthetic. The vehicle will make its official debut in New York on October 6, with overseas market launch planned for first half of 2027. The entire cabin emphasizes a "horizontal line" design theme, with the most striking feature being a long center console running through the entire cabin, splitting it in half.
Traditional walnut wood and chrome decorations have been entirely discarded, replaced with metallic brass-tone finishes on door panels and the center console. The dashboard top features bar elements that echo similar exterior design forward of the windshield. The steering wheel adopts a dual-spoke design.
Key Interior Changes:
- Traditional walnut and chrome replaced with metallic brass finishes
- Long center console splits the cabin in half with a front-to-rear groove
- Four seats feature sculptural one-piece design called "GT driving position"
- Single-piece glass roof extends far toward the rear
- Digital streaming rearview mirror with display at windshield base
Power Performance and Range
Type 01 is built on the JEA dedicated EV architecture, delivering top-tier performance:
| Parameter | Type 01 Data | Competitor Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Motor Layout | Tri-motor AWD (1 front, 2 rear) | Mostly dual-motor |
| Combined Max Power | 746kW (~1,016 hp) | Typically 500-700kW |
| Peak Torque | 1,300 N·m | ~800-1,000 N·m |
| 0-100km/h | 3.3 seconds | 3.5-4.5 seconds |
| Battery Capacity | 120kWh | 100-110kWh |
| WLTP Range | ~700km | 500-650km |
| Fast Charging | 350kW | 200-250kW |
The tri-motor layout with dual rear motors enables precise torque vectoring, significantly improving cornering limits. 350kW fast charging capability means charging from 10% to 80% takes approximately 20 minutes under ideal conditions.
Technology and Intelligent Features
Type 01 brings a fresh approach to in-car technology. The driver faces a large digital instrument display, while the central touchscreen remains relatively compact, focused primarily on climate control—a "subtractive design" rare in today's automotive landscape. Wide steering wheel spokes integrate touch controls alongside two column stalks.
Intelligent Feature Highlights:
- Digital streaming rearview mirror with display at windshield base
- Dual-spoke steering wheel with integrated touch controls
- Large digital instrument panel with comprehensive driving information
- Central touchscreen with clean UI focused on climate control
Market Outlook and Competitive Analysis
Type 01's estimated price of 1.08 to 1.35 million yuan directly targets the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. Given Jaguar's recent market decline, this pricing is bold—the product must be exceptional to convince buyers away from established luxury brands.
Type 01 competitive assessment:
- Power Performance: 746kW tri-motor system surpasses Taycan Turbo S on paper
- Design Language: Unique horizontal-line interior, but market acceptance uncertain
- Brand Premium: Jaguar's EV brand appeal trails Porsche and Mercedes
- Charging Ecosystem: 350kW charging leads, but network coverage lags Tesla
