Jaguar’s design future is packing its bags and heading to Mumbai. The Type 00 electric concept – first shown in Miami late last year – is coming to the Jio Convention Centre on June 14, as part of its world tour, which has already ticked off Paris, Monaco, Munich, and Tokyo. It’s loud, blue, all-electric, and, no, it doesn’t look like anything you’ve seen from Jaguar before.
This isn’t just a concept car, it’s a whole manifesto on wheels. The Type 00 is the brand’s formal announcement that it’s rewriting its rulebook. The twin zeros stand for zero emissions and, metaphorically, a complete reset. If the E-Type was a statement, the Type 00 is a whole new language.
Underpinning this future is the Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), an all-new EV platform that promises some proper numbers. Jaguar is targeting a range of up to 770km on the WLTP cycle. With fast charging, expect to add around 321km of range in just 15 minutes – just enough time to grab a cup of coffee and be told by three different strangers that “this doesn’t look like a Jag.”
Although still officially a concept, Jaguar has already begun testing camouflaged prototypes of the production version – a sleek 4-door electric GT. Think long bonnet, coupe-style roof, short boot lid, and wheels that look like they’ve been nicked from a spaceship. Power and torque figures haven’t been confirmed, but expect outputs in the region of 600bhp and 800Nm, based on the architecture’s projected performance.
The production GT will debut globally in late 2025. It’ll first go on sale in the UK and US, with India’s turn coming in late 2026 or early 2027. When it arrives, don’t expect it to be cheap. This is a halo car – more of a brand compass than a volume seller. Prices are expected to hover in the ₹2 crore bracket, give or take a few lakhs depending on specs.
What follows this GT will be more accessible Jaguars on the same JEA platform. But for now, the Type 00 is the big statement – an electric Jaguar that’s not trying to look like a petrol car with a plug, but rather, something entirely new.
See it for yourself in Mumbai this June.
