The Auto Grid Review

Jaguar Type 01 Review: Our Verdict

3.8/ 5 · Auto Grid Editorial

Jaguar has nothing on sale in India right now — the brand has had zero cars on the road here since the F-Pace sold through in October 2026 — so there is no Type 01 in Auto Grid's Kondapur bay to judge by eye. What the JEA platform's own numbers tell us is that this will be an unusual car to protect: a 5.2-metre, four-seat GT shaped almost entirely by aerodynamics, with full-width hidden tail lamps, Active Vanes and a panoramic glass roof that replaces the conventional rear screen. Panels that low and that smooth usually show stone chips and wash-induced swirls faster than a boxier SUV does, and the closed-off, strikethrough-graphic nose will need the same first-look inspection we give every new EV platform before we commit to a coverage plan. Until an actual India-spec car arrives — not expected before the second half of 2027 — this is a forward-looking note, not a hands-on one.

What we like

  • +1,030 PS tri-motor AWD and a claimed 3.2-second 0-100 km/h make it the most powerful Jaguar road car ever built
  • +118 kWh battery with a claimed WLTP-estimated 720 km range and 350 kW DC fast-charging
  • +India bookings reportedly open ahead of a confirmed India launch — unusually early engagement for a JLR EV

What we’d change

  • –India price has not been announced and public estimates vary by over ₹1 crore between aggregators
  • –No India public debut before the second half of 2027 at the earliest — a long wait with nothing else on sale from Jaguar in the meantime
  • –The car itself has not been crash-tested anywhere yet, so there is no NCAP rating to cite

Is the Type 01 right for you? Seven driver personalities, scored

Find the row that sounds like your driving life — that is the verdict that matters for you.

City Commuter

10–30 km a day through traffic

A 5.2-metre, four-seat GT with a 5.75 m turning radius is not built for tight Indian city streets or parking, whatever the instant electric throttle response feels like.

Highway Cruiser

ORR laps and expressway weekends

A claimed 720 km WLTP range, 350 kW charging and a tri-motor AWD platform tuned with input from Jaguar's Formula E team look like a genuinely serious long-distance expressway car on paper.

Family First

Four or five aboard, school runs to road trips

Four seats only, no crash-test rating yet and no confirmed India price rule this out as a family car for now.

Driving Enthusiast

Cares how it steers, not just how it looks

1,030 PS, a 3.2-second 0-100 km/h claim and a 50:50 weight distribution give enthusiasts numbers Jaguar has never offered before, even if nobody in India has driven one yet.

First-Car Buyer

Budget-conscious and resale-aware

An ultra-luxury GT with no announced India price is not a first-car conversation.

Chauffeur-Driven Executive

Judged from the rear seat

Four individually trimmed cabin spaces, a 24-inch OLED display and a full-width soundbar read like a serious chauffeur-driven proposition, once an India-spec car and price actually exist.

Weekend Explorer

Ghats, dirt tracks and monsoon roads

Air suspension and tri-motor AWD help, but a low-slung, aerodynamics-first GT on 23-inch wheels is not built for weekend dirt-road exploring.

Paint Protection

PPF for the Jaguar Type 01: What We Install and Why

Where it takes damage

Unknown in person — no India-spec Type 01 exists yet — but the body is almost entirely aerodynamic surfacing with a very low nose, active front vanes and a glass-heavy roof with no conventional rear screen, which on any car shaped this way usually means early stone chips low on the nose and swirl-prone glass and paint around the roofline.

Our recommendation

Our starting plan, once a car actually lands in Hyderabad, will be a full-front, inspection-first approach given the unusual panel shapes and the Active Vanes' moving surfaces, before committing to a coverage plan the way we did for the Range Rover Electric.

Coverage

To be confirmed once Auto Grid inspects an actual India-spec car; expect strong full-body interest given the price point and the car's unusual aero-first surfacing.

FAQs

Jaguar Type 01: Questions Buyers Ask

Jaguar revealed the production Type 01 globally in New York on 7 October 2026. Financial Express reported the same week that Jaguar had opened India bookings, with a public debut expected in the second half of 2027; Autocar India separately estimates 'mid-2027'. Jaguar's own global newsroom states worldwide orders open in 'early 2027' with deliveries later that year — no exact India month has been confirmed yet.

Not officially announced. Aggregator estimates vary widely — Autocar India puts an expected Delhi on-road price around ₹2.13 crore, while CarWale's own estimate ranges from ₹2.50-3.00 crore ex-showroom (₹2.31-2.54 crore on-road across cities). Treat both as unofficial until Jaguar or JLR India announces a real price.

Jaguar's own press release states a 118 kWh usable battery on an 850V architecture, with an expected EPA range of up to 400 miles and a WLTP estimate of up to 450 miles (720 km), ahead of full certification testing. A 350 kW DC charger can add up to 200 miles (321 km) in 13 minutes.

It will be Jaguar's first and only confirmed future car in India — the brand has had no model on sale here since the F-Pace was discontinued in October 2026, as Jaguar repositions globally as an all-electric brand.

We haven't inspected an India-spec car yet, so this is a forward-looking note rather than a hands-on one — but the low nose, active aero vanes and glass-heavy roof are the kind of panels that usually need protection early. Message Auto Grid on WhatsApp once your India delivery date is confirmed.

It has been revealed globally (7 October 2026, New York) but has not launched anywhere, including India, as of November 2026. Jaguar's own newsroom says worldwide orders open in early 2027 with deliveries later that year; India's public debut is expected in the second half of 2027.

Jaguar hasn't broken this out separately. The only published storage figure as of November 2026 is a combined 450-litre boot capacity reported from the New York reveal; Jaguar has not itemised how much of that, if any, is front-trunk space.

Both are four-door electric GTs aimed at the same ultra-luxury performance buyer, but neither has an announced India price or launch date, and the Type 01 has the more confirmed India timeline (bookings reportedly open, H2 2027 debut) of the two. A real comparison isn't possible yet without official specs and pricing for both in India.

Jaguar has not announced a price anywhere, including India. Global reporting around the October 2026 reveal cited a US market entry point near $130,000 before taxes; for India, Autocar India's own expected-price estimate is around ₹2.13 crore on-road Delhi, while CarWale estimates ₹2.50-3.00 crore ex-showroom — both unofficial until Jaguar confirms a number.
