JLR Korea has unveiled the interior design of Jaguar's first pure electric luxury four-door GT, the 'Jaguar Type 01'. The core of this revealed interior lies in fully realizing the design vision presented by the concept car in the Yangsan vehicle.

The interior features a striking central spine structure that runs longitudinally from front to back, creating four independent passenger spaces. A finish reminiscent of brass is applied uniformly along the central spine and the upper part of the doors, with Jaguar's iconic leaper logo embossed on both. The interior materials utilize the unchanging texture of natural stone and handcrafted textiles, while hidden storage compartments and advanced technological elements that appear when needed are actively incorporated.

In terms of design and convenience features, a strike-through element visually connects the hood and slim dashboard, blurring the boundary between exterior and interior. A digital ClearSight rear-view display is positioned at the center below the windshield at the same height as the side mirrors, allowing the driver to focus on the road ahead while driving. Additionally, a low driving position and a space design that comfortably envelops the driver provide the stable driving environment characteristic of GT models.

Thomas Holden, Jaguar's Head of Interior Design, explained that unlike general designs centered on horizontal lines, this model achieves architectural form and dramatic spatial presence through the central spine. Roden Glover, Managing Director, stated that this model is the first Yangsan vehicle to apply the new creative philosophy of 'Exuberant Modernism'.

The name 'Type 01' combines 'Type', which inherits legendary predecessor models; '0', signifying zero emissions; and '1', representing the beginning of a new generation. Designed, developed, and produced in the UK, it is the first Yangsan model built on Jaguar's dedicated electric vehicle architecture, JEA. Industry observers anticipate its launch around October this year. Marketed as an ultra-luxury high-performance electric vehicle approaching $150,000, Jaguar has announced three variants for release. The Type 01 is the first of these models.
