Jaguar Type 01 Unveiled — India Prices Start at Rs 2.2 Crore, 720km Range

Jaguar Reinvents Itself With the Type 01

The Jaguar that sold you the F-Pace and the XE is gone. In its place is a brand that only makes electric cars, and the Type 01 is the car that has to prove the bet was worth it. Unveiled as a low-slung four-door coupe, it is priced in India from Rs 2.2 crore ex-showroom for the Type 01 1030PS, with a Design Vision version at Rs 2.45 crore.

On paper the numbers are supercar territory. A single motor produces a claimed 1,014 bhp and 1,365 Nm, drawing from a 118kWh NMC battery built on an 850V architecture. Jaguar claims a range of up to 720km and a 0-100kph time of 3.2 seconds, with the 100-180kph pull done in four seconds flat. A 350kW DC fast charger can add around 321km of range in 13 minutes, according to the company's figures.

What the Type 01 Costs on Road in India

As with any luxury EV, the showroom price is only the start. On-road costs vary sharply by state, and the difference between cities runs into lakhs. Below is how the entry Type 01 stacks up in major metros.

Jaguar's dealer network in India is small, so the car is aimed at a buyer who already runs a German or British flagship and wants something with fewer badge twins on the road. The Type 01's real rival is not the Porsche Taycan alone but the growing pack of electric luxury four-doors that includes the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the BMW i7.

What This Means for You

The Type 01 is a statement car, not a volume one, and at Rs 2.2 crore before taxes it will stay that way. If you are cross-shopping electric luxury sedans, the headline claim of 720km and a 13-minute top-up is what makes it interesting against the German establishment, though real-world range in Indian heat will matter more than the WLTP number. Buyers in this bracket should also factor in the sparse service footprint. You can line it up against its rivals on our comparison page and read more in our news section.
