British automaker Jaguar chose not to soften the most divisive idea from its 2024 Type 00 concept for production — it built the entire Type 01 cabin around it. Revealed from Gaydon, UK on 12 August 2026, ahead of the car’s full unveiling in New York this October, the interior images mark the first real look at how much of Jaguar’s “exuberant modernism” language survives the jump from show car to production line. The answer, it turns out, is nearly all of it.
A structural spine, not a screen defines the cabin’s logic. A central element runs the full length of the interior, dividing it into four individual spaces rather than the wide, shared bench increasingly common in electric GTs, and shrinking around the driver with a low seating position built to cosset rather than sprawl. “An architectural statement that creates four individual spaces,” says Thomas Holden, Jaguar’s chief interior designer.
The idea started in Miami, where Jaguar first showed the concept behind this cabin at Type 00’s debut at Miami Art Week in 2024, the same central spine measuring 3.2 meters (10.5 feet) in that earlier concept car. Two years on, the production cabin keeps the gesture largely intact, layering it with a tonal palette drawn from travertine stone and a brass-inspired finish that repeats along the doors, carrying the Jaguar leaper motif down their full length.
Screens stay mostly out of sight on a dashboard Jaguar has kept slim by treating infotainment as something to surface only on demand rather than spread permanently across the cabin — a restraint that sits in direct contrast to Range Rover’s approach on its own electric GT, which consolidates its interface into one dominant display instead.
Strikethrough graphic elements carry that same logic across the boundary between inside and outside, visually connecting the bonnet to the dashboard so the two read as one continuous form rather than two separate surfaces. A digital ClearSight Rear View Display sits centrally at the base of the windscreen, level with the door mirrors, positioned there specifically to keep the driver’s eyeline forward.
Concealed details carry the drama Jaguar is building the car’s identity around: storage compartments hidden until needed, and unexpected moments of color worked into an otherwise tonal cabin. “Type 01 has an interior like no other,”says Rawdon Glover, Jaguar’s managing director. A camouflaged Type 01 prototype appears at Pebble Beach Concours in a new wrap this week, ahead of its full reveal — as the first production Jaguar built on the brand’s dedicated Jaguar Electric Architecture — in New York on 6 October.
Two years after the Type 00 first split opinion in Miami, the same central spine — unchanged in position, refined only in finish — is what passengers will find waiting behind the door when Jaguar Type 01 arrives in New York this October.
