A refreshing change of direction? Jaguar Type 01 interior revealed
► Jaguar unveils the Type 01’s minimalist interior
► No massive infotainment system, no buttons either
► Massive armrest hiding cubbies and technology
Jaguar is ramping up its teaser campaign for the Type 01. This is our first official look at the finished car’s interior – and it shows the brand is stepping away from some of the cabin design features we’ve grown to expect in a modern car.
For starters, there isn’t a traditional infotainment screen in the centre of the dashboard. Instead, the Type 01 has an enormous screen ahead of the driver that displays everything from your speed to your navigation functions. Jaguar’s also elected to not put a screen ahead of the front passenger, which is a decision we wholeheartedly support.
The smartphone-sized touchscreen on the centre console, meanwhile, handles the car’s climate control functions and media volume. Jaguar also says the Type 01’s interior sports ‘concealed compartments’ and ‘hidden-until-needed technologies.’
We suspect that huge centre console will house some storage cubbies – and we’re hoping that latter point is hinting that Jaguar will return to some of the theatrics we enjoyed in the outgoing XJ saloon, with items like the gear selector and speakers rising out of the interior panels when you switch the car on.
Interestingly, the Type 01 is a strict four-seater. The centre console runs the entire length of the car, essentially dividing it into quarters. That decision’s probably going to limit the car’s functionality as a family bus, but it gives you an indication of the audience Jag is aiming it at. The Type 01 isn’t chasing after the Tesla Model 3 – it’s going after Bentley and Maybach.
Jaguar’s taking a Type 01 prototype to this year’s Monterey Car Week, where it’ll appear at the Pebble Beach Concours on Sunday 16 August. The finished car will be revealed in New York on 6 October, but we’re expecting plenty more teasers between now and then. Stay tuned for the final launch – and scroll down for everything we know about the car so far.
Jaguar confirms its EV’s (rather underwhelming) name
Back in May 2026, Jaguar confirmed its new electric GT – after all the build-up from its marketing bluster, prototype teasers and wild ad campaign – would be called the Type 01. Yeah, we were a bit disappointed, too.
Jaguar has showed its working, however. ‘Type’ stems from the brand’s extensive usage of the word already (see its alphabetical lineage of sports cars: C-Type, D-Type, E-Type and F-Type). The ‘0’ denotes the fact this new model emits zero tailpipe emissions. The use of ‘1’ quite literally means the first of this new era of cars from Jaguar – almost in a Polestar-like fashion. Answers in the comments as to how much a design consultancy charged for thinking up that one.
The badge was revealed via a single teaser image that showed the concept car’s vent-like panelling will remain on the production model (above). Jaguar calls this venting the ‘strikethrough motif,’ and says the name will be visible on the panel where the windscreen and bonnet meet. This latest teaser also offered a slightly wider angle shot of the feature – and it showed the same design will be used on the car’s dashboard top (below).
The Type 01 will be an electric four-door grand tourer, stepping away from the two-door body style of the original Type 00 concept car. Jaguar has confirmed that the new platform underneath will mean more than one thousand metric horsepower (986bhp) and 959lb ft of torque.
Besides the underwhelming name, the car itself is shaping up to be very interesting indeed. Having had a ride in one and driving a prototype in snowy Arjeplog, the new Type 01 impressed us.
