Jaguar has unveiled its bold new electric car concept, the Type 00, which gives a preview of the brand’s future electric vehicles hitting the roads in 2026. Revealed during Miami Art Week, the Type 00 concept marks a dramatic departure from Jaguar’s traditional designs, offering a vision of the company’s new electric era.
The Type 00 concept car blends elements of Jaguar’s past with its future. Its name pays homage to the iconic “Type” designation used in past Jaguar models, while the two zeros represent the brand’s commitment to sustainability and its rebirth as an electric vehicle maker. The car’s design features sharp edges and a futuristic, almost robotic look, moving away from the classic smooth curves Jaguar is known for.
Exterior
The car’s exterior is defined by a bold, monolithic presence. The front end features a blunt grill with horizontal elements, flanked by angular headlights formed by a continuous LED line. The side of the car showcases innovative design, including rear-facing cameras instead of traditional side mirrors and a sleek fastback profile. The rear is equally striking, with a large rectangular panel and concealed taillights, further accentuating the car’s dramatic look. The panoramic glass roof adds to its futuristic appeal.
Interior
Inside, the cabin is a showcase of luxury and innovation. The design is inspired by architecture and home decor, with brass elements and a unique central spine running through the length of the cabin. The cabin features two large screens that rise beside the spine, but these can be hidden for a more serene experience. In place of traditional materials, the interior uses wool textile blends and travertine stone, offering a more sustainable approach to luxury.
The concept also introduces the idea of “totems,” small objects that alter the car’s ambient lighting, sounds, and scents, adding a personalized touch to the driving experience. Each totem is made from a different material — brass, travertine, and alabaster — and can be customized to suit the owner’s preferences.
A Glimpse Into The Future
Jaguar has opted for a minimalist approach to branding. The new “Jaguar” font is featured on the front grill, while the iconic “leaper” logo is engraved on the brass trim. These subtle design choices reflect the brand’s aim to be recognized by its distinctive design rather than oversized logos.
While Type 00 is a design concept not meant for production, it gives us a strong sense of what to expect from Jaguar’s future electric vehicles. The concept will likely influence Jaguar’s first production electric car, a four-door grand tourer, due to launch in 2026. Jaguar has mentioned that the Grand Tourer will offer a captivating driving experience, with a target range of 430 miles per charge.
The Type 00 concept is in two color variations: “Miami Pink,” a bold, Art Deco-inspired shade, and “London Blue,” reflecting the brand’s British roots. Though not directly related to a production model, the Type 00 concept marks a bold new direction for Jaguar, merging iconic design with the innovation of electric mobility.
