Jaguar Type 00 EV: Everything We Know
Jaguar is in a tough spot following an aggressive rebrand that hasn't been well-received, and a radical concept car that left many customers scratching their heads. However, Jaguar pushes on with its new strategy regardless, with plans to launch a production version of the Type 00 in the next few years.
Jaguar's first new model in over a decade promises to be a high-end, ultra-premium, six-figure EV. It's designed to take on posh competitors just down the road in Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
We could see the production
Type 00
by the end of this year. It's expected to go on sale for the 2026 or 2027 model year.
Some details still under wraps, but here's what we do know so far about the next big Jag.
What Will Jaguar's New EV Be Called?

That's a good question. Jaguar debuted its concept with the name "Type 00." While we don't necessarily expect that nameplate to carry over to a production model, we wouldn't be surprised if it did, either.
That said, Jaguar could use other monikers alongside its "Type" prefix/suffix. Some rumors suggest it could be called the I-Type—Jaguar previously used "I" to denote its electric powertrain in the
I-Pace
SUV.
What Will It Look Like?

The Type 00 concept offered a dramatic preview of Jaguar's new six-figure luxury sedan. For better or worse, the production version likely won't be a one-to-one interpretation—but it will certainly have many of the concept's same cues.
Our rendering artist imagines a more-traditional take on the high-end luxury sedan with the Type 00's flat front end and faux "grille." A slim light bar runs across the blocky backside, and the profile is chiseled, with an angular C-pillar that creates a fastback-like design. We've seen
prototypes without rear windows
, but it remains unclear whether that design cue will carry over to the production model (our rendering keeps the rear window intact).
Jaguar has high expectations for the production version—even if that means
losing customers in the process
.
Executives promise that it will look "unlike anything you've ever seen:"
'It is our first physical manifestation and the foundation stone for a new family of Jaguars that will look unlike anything you've ever seen. A vision which strives for the highest level of artistic endeavour.' — Jaguar Land Rover Chief Creative Officer, Gerry McGovern
As a competitor to the Rolls-Royce Ghost/Spectre and Cadillac Celestiq, we expect this Jag to still be a massive vehicle when it reaches production. For reference, the Spectre is over 215 inches long, and the Celestiq is over 217 inches long.
The interior of the Type 00 concept was extremely minimalist, with two massive, foldable screens extending across the entirety of the dash and a large brass 'spine' separating the driver and passenger. High-end wood, wool, and metal appear to cover most surfaces, but it's unclear how much of that will make it to production.
How Much Power Will Jag's New EV Have?

Jaguar told
Autocar
that its new EV
would have 986 horsepower
when it reaches production. That said, we do expect multiple variants with a variety of horsepower options, similar to its competitors. The standard
Spectre
has 584 horsepower while the Black Badge makes 659, and the
Celestiq
produces 655 horsepower in base form.
The luxury sedan will be fully electric, which means it will have a large battery pack beneath its floorboard and at least two electric motors. The outgoing I-Pace had a 90.0-kilowatt-hour battery pack, but we expect the Type 00's pack to have an even larger capacity. The Spectre has a 102.0-kWh pack, while the Celestiq has a 111.0-kWh system.
How Much Range Will It Have?
Jaguar has already promised that its new EV will be able to cover at least 430 miles (692 kilometers) of range on the WLTP cycle. In the US, expect a bit less on the EPA cycle. With super-fast charging, it should also be able to add up to 200 miles (321 kilometers) of range in as little as 15 minutes.
Jaguar also stated that it will
transfer Formula E technology
from the track into its road car:
'My primary interest in Formula E as a platform is in the technology innovation transfer. Unlike a lot of the other motorsport platforms, it's a direct transfer [in Formula E], and we can take the technology directly from the racing cars, into our own road cars.' — Jaguar Managing Director, Rawdon Glover

How Much Will Jaguar's New EV Cost?
Jaguar is moving upmarket, which means its cars will get significantly pricier. Competing against the likes of Bentley, Cadillac, and Rolls-Royce in the ultra-premium space, Jag's first EV is bound to be a six-figure vehicle.
Estimates suggest the Type 00 could start at over £100,000 (around $135,000) and go up from there. For reference, the latest Bentley Flying Spur starts at just over $275,000, the Celestiq is $340,000, and the Spectre is just shy of $400,000—with the Black Badge asking over $465,000 to start.
When Will Jaguar's New EV Debut?
Jaguar said it plans to launch a production version of its Type 00 EV later this year, with a production version expected for the 2026 or 2027 model years.
Jaguar hasn't said exactly when it plans to launch its next EV, but the Type 00 is expected to debut for the 2027 model year. That means we could see the final production version as early as sometime next year.

AMG's New V-8 Will Be Around for as Long as People Want It, Says CEO
Mercedes-AMG just unveiled the AMG GT XX, a 1,340-horsepower super sedan concept with an electric powertrain and synthesized noise that one board member called 'the best V-8 we have ever developed.' But fans of real, combustion V-8s needn't worry, as AMG has a new one of those in development, which the brand's CEO assures us will arrive in late 2027 and stick around for a while. 'Since we are just in the development of a new V-8, there is not a natural end date that we have defined,' AMG CEO Michael Schiebe told Motor1 when asked when the company might phase out its forthcoming V-8. Photo by: 'There are still customers that just want the V-8, a pure V-8.' 'We keep on going as long as we see that there is customer demand, and especially, you know, when it comes to the US, for example, we see that there are still customers that just want the V-8, a pure V-8. And so this is why we are investing in the technology.' Schiebe acknowledged the European Union's 2035 rule that new cars must create zero CO₂ emissions, which amounts to a ban on internal combustion unless automakers can invest in synthetic fuels quickly. 'There is, at the moment, a natural ending in Europe,' he said. But other countries don't face the same cliff. 'In the US, in the overseas market, where there is no certain end date, I'm pretty confident that we will carry them a couple of years, beginning of the [20]30s, middle of the [20]30s.' Schiebe acknowledged that Europe's rules could change. That's why Mercedes ensured the V-8 met stringent EU 7 emissions regulations. 'It wouldn't make any sense to just develop it for the US. And if you develop a new V-8 at the moment, of course, it has to comply with EU 7, because it's coming at the end of 2027 and 2028 so you have to fulfill the requirements.' The new V-8 powertrain in development is rumored to be related to AMG's existing 4.0-liter 'hot vee' twin-turbo engine, potentially with a flat-plane crankshaft. We don't know for sure yet which models it will make its way into, only that it won't power the C63 anytime soon.

2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV: Pros & Cons
This isn't your granddad's Dodge Charger. Though it may look somewhat like the Chargers and Challengers of old, the 2025 Charger Daytona Scat Pack is an entirely new thing, with a fully revamped interior and a fully electric powertrain. A Charger without a V-8 might sound like heresy, but this car is still charming in a number of ways. Unfortunately, the electric Charger becomes less charming when you see the price tag. With an as-tested sticker of nearly $80,000, it's far more expensive than the last-generation car. Factor in the weak range and the clunky infotainment system, and even the quickest Charger EV becomes a tough recommendation. Quick Specs 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Motors Dual Permanent-Magnet Battery 100.5 Kilowatt-Hours (93.9 Kilowatt-Hours Usable) Output 670 Horsepower / 627 Pound-Feet 0-60 MPH 3.5 Seconds (Est.) Base Price / As Tested $64,995 / $78,970 The Good Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 Excellent Design Luxurious, Well-Styled Interior Impressive Performance Though the new Charger may appear awkward in pictures, it looks fantastic in real life. The 'Bludicrous' paint job pairs excellently with the boxy form and striking fascias, catching the eyes of onlookers as I cruise silently by. Whereas most EVs are lifeless blobs, the Charger Daytona echoes a sense of purpose and strength. The Charger is also a big car. At 206.6 inches long, it's over 8 inches longer than the outgoing Challenger. The hatchback rear provides ample storage space, though there's no frunk. That extra length is obvious inside, with the Charger's interior offering ample space to stretch out. The back seats are actually usable, too; I was able to comfortably fit four adults inside without any complaints. Beyond the physical space, I enjoy the interior's design. The sweeping dash melds into the doors well, and the pistol-grip shifter is satisfying to use. There are two displays mounted to the dash, a 16.0-inch unit for the driver and a 12.3-inch screen for the infotainment system. Both are bright and crisp, making the cabin a nice place to spend time. Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 And while I'll always prefer a V-8 to electric power, I have to commend the Charger Daytona's performance. It's stonking quick off the line, and claws itself out of the hole and into illegal speeds quickly. Like most EVs, that power seems to die off once you've eclipsed 90 miles per hour, but before that, it's a rocket. It's not just straight-line speed, either. Despite the Charger's chunky 5,838-pound curb weight, it can dance around corners. That's thanks to the huge 325-section-width Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar 3 tires out back, and the standard dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup. Slowing things down are a set of hefty 16.1-inch discs with Brembo calipers. There are a host of different toys to play with, too, like Drift mode, Track mode, Drag mode, and even Donut mode. If you need a kick in power, there's a button labeled 'PowerShot' on the steering wheel, which maxes out the dual motors to give the full 670 horsepower for 30 seconds. Gimmicky, yes. But also very fun. The Bad Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 Messy Infotainment System Half-Baked Synthetic Exhaust Sound Lackluster Range Too Expensive While the Dodge Charger Daytona's interior is a nice place to spend time, the infotainment system hangs over it like a dark cloud. The company's Uconnect 5 operating system is a cluttered mess, with a slew of different menus and bunched-up buttons that make it nearly impossible to navigate, especially while driving. There's a new section specifically to show the powertrain's EV status, like power flow and charging info. But I found myself constantly sticking to the wireless Apple CarPlay instead, simply to avoid dealing with the native operating system. Those with Android phones won't have to worry; there's wireless Android Auto connectivity for your phones, too. That's not the only piece of tech on the Charger I don't like. While I'm generally pro faux exhaust sounds for EVs, the Daytona's ' Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust ' doesn't do it for me. Dodge got so close to making this work, but fumbled at the goal line. While the sound itself, which emanates from a subwoofer mounted in the rear bumper, is awesome, it's not paired with any sort of fake gears or shifting, like you'd find on a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N . Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 Photo by: Brian Silvestro / Motor1 That means when you're driving around with the Fratzonic exhaust turned on, it sounds like you're driving a V-8-powered car with a continuously variable transmission. It's foolish in its execution, rendering the sound suitable only for stoplight rev-offs or confusing people in parking lots. On the move, it just made me nauseous. Whether you keep the exhaust turned on or not, you'll be disappointed by the Charger Daytona's range. With a full charge, I was only able to squeeze 208 miles from the 93.9-kilowatt-hour usable battery pack, an average of just 2.2 miles per kilowatt-hour. That's pretty dismal for a 2025 model-year EV, much less one this expensive. To be fair, the range would be far better with a set of more efficient tires. Speaking of price, the Charger Daytona isn't exactly affordable. The Scat Pack's starting price of $66,990, including destination, is bolstered by those aforementioned drive modes, as well as a host of active safety systems, like lane management, intersection collision assist, and cross-path detection. A head-up display and a mechanical limited-slip differential are also standard. Our tester came in at $78,970 thanks to the pretty blue paint job, a $3,200 'Scat Pack Stage 2' package that adds 80 horsepower, and the $4,995 Track package, which adds stuff like the Brembo brakes, heated and ventilated sport seats, adaptive damping, and those Goodyears. Truthfully, I don't think you need any of that, except for the paint. It's not like anyone will be taking this thing to the track, after all.
