The concept Type 00 and Jaguar divided many opinions when it was first presented at the end of 2024. Despite the criticism, the manufacturer remained firm and has now announced a date for the official launch of the vehicle.
Although the brand’s decision was to present the concept as a starting point for a new generation of electric vehicles, its extremely minimalist and polished look did not please the public much, who argued that the Type 00 did not have any attributes that referred to a Jaguar.
Even with this criticism regarding its appearance, the brand’s research and development (R&D) team received the green light to prepare the Type 00 to be a real Jaguarand not just any Jaguarbut the “Jaguar advanced already done”, he stated Rawdon GloverMD by Jaguar.
O Type 00 it will be an exclusively electric vehicle, a decision made to give the R&D team even more creative freedom, according to Glover. “We needed to free ourselves to be able to deliver on the brief; to be a copy of nothing. And for us, even though we think the EV won’t be the main reason to buy, it gives us incredible speed, refinement and acceleration,” he said.

The matte paint and sharp angles of the car’s exterior were described by Glover as part of a “statement” that the Jaguar needed to do. According to him, his design was placed in the middle of a broader vision of “the jaw-dropping future of our original luxury brand”.
Orders will open in North America and the UK following the reveal in September this year, with deliveries expected in early 2027. Other markets will follow, while production of the vehicle at Jaguar’s UK plant will increase.
Its price has not yet been revealed, but the site’s staff Electrifying speculates a value above £100,000 (approximately US$133,000), and could reach £140,000 (approximately US$189,000) in less optimistic estimates.
