Jaguar Type 00: After ditching its entire back catalog, the British luxury brand is going all-in on a four-door electric saloon with nearly 500 miles of range.
Jaguar’s complete rebrand, announced last year with the retirement of every current model and the deletion of a century of design language, reaches its final form in 2026: the Type 00, a six-figure four-door electric saloon positioned as the flagship of a totally reconceived luxury marque. The car represents the culmination of Jaguar’s bet-the-company pivot toward EVs and a dramatically different aesthetic identity, arriving as the production-ready proof that the British manufacturer is serious about abandoning heritage in favor of a forward-looking electric future.
The Type 00 sits in the upper reaches of the luxury sedan market, with pricing expected to land above $100,000. What separates it from established EV competitors like the Mercedes EQS or BMW i7 is range in the near-500-mile territory, positioning the Jag as a serious continental cruiser rather than a city runabout. That kind of endurance in a platform-engineered specifically for electric architecture, combined with the brand’s new design language, signals Jaguar is hunting the same buyers who might consider a Tesla Model S Plaid or a Porsche Taycan but want something with a different visual identity entirely. The four-door configuration makes it accessible as an actual family car while the price point situates it as genuine luxury, not mass-market EV.
The real tell in Jaguar’s strategy isn’t the specs, though. It’s that the Type 00 launches just as the initial concept vehicles from the rebrand are finally hitting the road as real cars. Most major automakers tease radical design shifts and then hedge their bets with evolutionary updates. Jaguar killed everything and swung for the fences. The Jaguar Type 00 proves they weren’t bluffing, signaling a manufacturer entirely committed to its electric and design transformation.
