The Type 01 name has a special meaning, in which "Type" emphasizes that the car will inherit Jaguar's classic legendary models, such as the 1951 Le Mans champion C-TYPE car, the follow-up E-TYPE, F-TYPE, etc. "0" means zero emissions, and "1" means that the car is the first in a new development era of Jaguar. In terms of styling, the new car continues the design of the previous concept car, adopting a square and heavy front face, a closed grid with a new matrix led headlight, and a high-definition projection unit integrated in the headlight. The new car offers a variety of high-gloss and optional satin paints, including a visionary silver satin car paint exclusive to the car, revealing the sheer authenticity of the new design language. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the car are expected to be 5235/2220/1395mm, and the wheelbase is 3200mm. The wide size lays the foundation for the ride and storage performance of the GT model. The new car features a 23-inch bicolor low wind resistance rim with a Jaguar lettering on the center cap. Wheels come standard with all-season tyres and summer tyres are available. At the same time, owners can also choose 21-inch rims that match all-season tires. In addition, the way the tailgate is opened is also very characteristic, similar to some SUV models. The biggest highlight in the car is the Central Spine that runs through the front and rear, from the front dashboard to the rear, dividing the cockpit into four separate spaces. The front row is also very special, with a 24-inch OLED display in front of the driver, which combines the functions of the dashboard and the central control screen; the 7-inch auxiliary screen is located between the front occupants, making it easy for the user to control the functions in the car. The display below the windshield is a streaming rearview mirror. The interior and exterior connections are expressed through a large number of longitudinal trim stripes inside and outside the car, and the interior color scheme is inspired by natural stone. Interior tones are inspired by the natural texture of the natural cave stone (Travertine); the central spine, the upper edge of the door with brass texture metal finishes, abandoning the traditional Jaguar large-area wood grain trim and chrome decoration.
