After a long wait, we are starting to gain a clearer picture of what Jaguar’s luxury electric four-door GT will be like as the first interior images of the all-new Type 01 are revealed.
Key features:
- Four seats
- An imposing central spine
- Brass accents
- A digital rearview mirror at the bottom of the windscreen
- A promise of “unmistakeable drama”
- The full reveal will take place in New York on 6 October 2026
What is the interior of the Type 01 like?
These initial images of the interior bear an impressive resemblance to the original Type 00 concept. One of the key features is the central spine which runs down the middle of the space, effectively cutting the interior into four sections. Speaking about the design Jaguar’s Chief Interior Designer, Thomas Holden, said “In contrast to the horizontal interior design norm, we emphasise its dramatic longitudinal nature through the central spine – an architectural statement that creates four individual spaces.”
Just like the concept car there is an overall minimalist vibe with a sprinkling of brass accents and Jaguar’s signature ‘leaper’ motif to remind you exactly which brand of car you are sitting in. From what we can see the space looks calming an airy, though according to Holden the “Type 01 presents unmistakable drama and theatre that will define the modern luxury automotive interior of the future.”
To help blend the interior with the exterior, the distinctive lines which run along the top of the bonnet continue across the dashboard. We are pleased to see Jaguar appears not to have followed Mercedes in covering the whole dashboard with screens. Instead, there is a large screen for the driver and what looks like a much smaller touch-screen panel on the centre console to control things like temperature.
Unusually, Jaguar has mounted the digital rearview mirror at the bottom of the windscreen in line with the door mirrors which is says will help the driver focus on the road ahead. And as for other innovative feature? Jaguar also promises concealed compartments and hidden-until-needed technologies which we look forward to experiencing.
Rawdon Glover, Jaguar’s Managing Director, sums up the whole car by saying “Jaguar Type 01 is the first production car to follow our new creative philosophy. Unmistakable from every angle, the interior is no different. With Type 01, we wanted every journey to be an occasion, from how it drives to how it looks and how it makes you feel. With a confidence-inspiring GT driving position, clean and sophisticated technology and dramatic styling, Type 01 has an interior like no other.”
