Jaguar Type 01 UK: Price, Specs, Release Date & How to Order

You cannot order a Jaguar Type 01 yet, and nor can anyone else. The car is being revealed in New York on 6 October 2026, and Jaguar’s own website still says “Coming Soon”.

What changed today is the inside. On 12 August 2026 Jaguar published the first images and details of the Type 01’s interior — and confirmed the reveal date at the same time.

So this guide separates two things that most coverage runs together: what Jaguar has actually confirmed, and what has been estimated on its behalf.

Is the Jaguar Type 01 on sale yet?

No. There is no order book, no configurator and no deposit. Jaguar’s landing page reads “Type 01. The four-door GT. Coming Soon.” The single action available is a Keep Me Informed registration form.

That is the honest answer to “how to order”, and it will stay the answer until at least October. The reveal on 6 October 2026 is the next real milestone; an on-sale date has not been announced.

How much will the Jaguar Type 01 cost?

Jaguar has not published a price. Not a starting figure, not a range, not a deposit amount.

You will see a £120,000 to £150,000-plus band quoted in a lot of places. That figure does not come from Jaguar — it appears in press coverage and estimates, and Jaguar’s own releases and website contain no price at all. Treat it as an outside estimate rather than a specification, because that is what it is.

There is a reason to expect the number to be large: Jaguar has positioned Type 01 as a luxury four-door GT with over 1,000PS on a bespoke platform, and its managing director has described the car as “a complete brand reset”. But an expectation is not a price, and we are not going to print one as though it were.

What are the Jaguar Type 01’s specs?

The confirmed specification is short: tri-motor drive, more than 1,000PS, over 1,300Nm of torque. Those figures are Jaguar’s own, from its 13 May 2026 announcement.

The platform matters more than it sounds. Type 01 is the first production Jaguar on the Jaguar Electric Architecture, a bespoke EV platform rather than an adapted one — which is what the company credits for the car’s proportions and packaging.

What Jaguar has not published: range, battery capacity, charging speed, kerb weight, 0-62mph time, trim levels or options. A 478-mile WLTP figure circulates widely; it is not in any Jaguar release we could find. If range is the number that decides your purchase, October is when you will get it.

What does the Type 01 interior look like?

A central spine runs the full length of the cabin, splitting it into four individual spaces. That was the headline of Jaguar’s 12 August release, and it is the first time the production interior has been shown.

The details Jaguar gave:

• The central spine carries a brass-inspired finish repeated along the tops of the doors, bearing the Jaguar leaper.
• A travertine-inspired palette — the tonal scheme takes from the stone and from artisan textiles.
• A low, cossetting driving position, described as confidence-inspiring, with the cabin shrinking around the driver.
• A slim dashboard integrating the new infotainment, with “technology on demand” rather than permanently visible screens.
• A ClearSight digital rear-view display set centrally into the base of the windscreen, at the same height as the door mirrors.
• Concealed compartments and hidden-until-needed technology.

Jaguar’s chief interior designer Thomas Holden framed the layout as a deliberate break from convention: in contrast to the horizontal norm, the spine emphasises the cabin’s longitudinal nature and creates those four spaces.

When is the Jaguar Type 01 release date?

The reveal is 6 October 2026 in New York. The on-sale date has not been announced.

Before that, a camouflaged prototype appears in North America for Monterey Car Week, culminating at Pebble Beach Concours on Sunday 16 August 2026 with a new wrap.

A “first half of 2027” on-sale window is widely reported. Like the price and range figures, it is not something Jaguar has stated, so it belongs in the estimate column rather than the diary.

How do you order a Jaguar Type 01 in the UK?

You register interest — that is the only mechanism that exists. Jaguar’s site offers a Keep Me Informed form which asks which market you are in; there is no order page behind it.

Two practical notes for a UK buyer:

This is a British-built car, which is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly. Jaguar says the Type 01 is designed, developed and built in the heart of the UK, and both announcements are datelined Gaydon. That has implications for supply and for how early UK allocation is likely to be, though Jaguar has not commented on either.

Be wary of anyone offering to take a deposit. Nothing is orderable and no pricing exists, so any site quoting you a figure or holding a build slot is not working from published information. We are not linking to brokers for that reason.

If you want a sense of how a launch like this reads once real prices land, our guides to the Freelander 8 and the Jaecoo 7 cover cars where the numbers are actually published.

Type 01 vs Type 00: what is the difference?

Type 00 is the concept car; Type 01 is the production model. They are frequently confused, including in search.

Jaguar unveiled Type 00 in December 2024 as a design statement. Type 01 is the car that follows it to market, named on 13 May 2026. In Jaguar’s own words, “Type” references its legendary predecessors — the naming goes back to the Le Mans-winning C-type of 1951, through the E-type and the more recent F-TYPE — while “0” stands for zero tailpipe emissions and “1” for the first of a new generation.

Bottom line

The Type 01 is real, it is British-built, it makes more than 1,000PS, and you cannot buy one.

Everything else being quoted — the six-figure price band, the 478-mile range, the 2027 on-sale window — is estimate rather than specification. The date to put in the diary is 6 October 2026, when Jaguar reveals the car in New York and, presumably, starts answering the questions it has left open.
