Jaguar initiated road testing of its new Type 00 electric saloon, marking a significant step in the brand’s transition to an all-electric lineup. This four-door vehicle, based on the polarizing Type 00 Concept unveiled last year, represents the first all-new Jaguar model since the I-Pace debuted in 2018. The road tests are taking place across various locations, with the car expected to hit production lines soon, targeting a market launch in late 2025 or early 2026. The Type 00 saloon is part of Jaguar’s broader “Reimagine” strategy, which aims to establish the brand as a leader in luxury electric vehicles by 2025, with plans for 80% of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) sales to be battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by 2030. The vehicle features advanced electric powertrain technology, though specific performance figures such as range or horsepower have not yet been disclosed. Jaguar is working with over 5,000 suppliers, including innovative partners like Deepform and Ascend Elements, to enhance production efficiency and sustainability. The road testing follows the company’s decision to produce Jaguar vehicles in Chennai, India, starting early next year, with the plant expected to be fully operational by 2032. This move aims to cater to the Indian market and support global demand.
