Jaguar Type 00 name to be announced on May 12

Jaguar is set to reveal the name of its upcoming electric grand tourer, codenamed the Type 00, on Tuesday, May 12. The upcoming EV will be the marque’s first offering following its controversial EV-only rebranding in late 2024.

1. Type 00 will be based on JEA, Jaguar’s new dedicated EV platform
2. India launch possible in late 2027 to early 2028 window

Jaguar Type 00 full reveal in September

After announcing the name next week, Jaguar will pull the covers off the production-spec Type 00 this September. The British carmaker revealed earlier this year that the Type 00 will be underpinned by the Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), an all-new platform dedicated to EVs.

The Type 00 will be powered by a triple-motor setup producing north of 1,000hp and 1,300Nm. Jaguar claims a WLTP range of 700km and a 321km range top-up in 15 minutes. Air suspension and twin-valve active dampers will be part of the package as well.

Prototype images of the production-spec Type 00 confirm classic long-bonnet, short-rear proportions with a slab-sided fascia and sloping roofline – quite faithful to the Type 00 concept’s design. However, while the concept was a 2-door, the production-spec Jaguar Type 00 will be a 4-door GT.

Jaguar is expected to launch the production version of the Type 00 in India by late 2027 or early 2028.
