The Jaguar Type 00 EV concept, which was globally unveiled last December, will be showcased in Mumbai on June 14. The radical concept has already made a lot of headlines, thanks to its controversial design, and is a preview of Jaguar’s new line-up of EVs. Following its unveiling in Miami, the concept has been on a world tour – it’s been to Paris, is currently at Monaco, and will also be showcased in Munich and Tokyo before making it to India.

Jaguar Type 00 concept: what is it?
Previews not just a model but a whole new identity for Jaguar
The Type 00 doesn’t just preview a specific model, but it is a vision of what the new Jaguar brand and its products would look like. The two zeros signify zero emissions and a complete reset, implying an all-new direction for the brand in the electrification age.
The model to be showcased in India comes finished in this vibrant blue shade.
Jaguar has already started testing prototypes of a 4-door electric GT in the UK, which will be the first model in this new range of EVs. Images of the camouflaged prototypes show an elongated bonnet with a rear-set cabin and a swooping coupe-like roofline with a small, flat-deck boot lid. It also sports a very upright nose, has large tyres and is very long.
The production car will debut a new underpinning called Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA). So far, not much has been revealed about it other than a targeted range of 770km on the WLTP cycle and the ability to top-up up to 321km driving range in 15 minutes.

First model will be a 4-door electric GT; prototypes already being tested abroad.
The 4-door GT would be positioned at the high end of the spectrum in Jaguar’s new line-up. It will be more of a brand shaper, following which there will be more affordable EVs as well.
