Have you ever seen a car that looks like it’s from the future? According to HT Auto, a company called Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is making a very special electric car called the Type 00 Concept. This new car will come to Mumbai, India on June 14, 2025. It’s not just any car – it’s what grown-ups call a “four-door coupe” that runs on electricity instead of gas!
The Jaguar Type 00 is traveling around the world to show people what future cars might look like. It has already visited Paris and London, and is currently in Monaco. After that, it will go to Munich and Tokyo. People will be able to buy this car in 2026, but first Jaguar needs to finish making the final version in late 2025.
Why This Car Is Extra Special
HT Auto reports that this car can drive 770 kilometers on just one full battery charge! That’s like going from one big city to another without stopping. According to Jaguar Media, if you use the American way of measuring (called EPA), it can go about 692 kilometers. And when the battery gets low, you can add 321 kilometers worth of power in just 15 minutes of charging!
The outside of the car looks kind of like a tank, with sharp lines and angles. It has a long front part (called a bonnet) and a roof that slopes down toward the back. Some people who have always liked Jaguar cars think it looks too different from the old Jaguars, while others think it’s very cool. Already, more than 32,000 people have told Jaguar they’re interested in this car!
The Car’s Special “Backbone”
Autocar India tells that the Jaguar Type 00 uses something called JEA, which stands for Jaguar Electric Architecture. Think of JEA as the car’s special backbone that was built from scratch just for electric cars. According to Futurride, this new backbone helps the car drive in a way that’s fun and comfortable.
EVFY (another car news place) says that all future Jaguar electric cars will use this same JEA backbone. And Motor Authority tells us something really impressive – this special backbone can help the car have up to 1,000 horsepower! That’s super powerful, like having the strength of 1,000 horses pushing your car!

What Makes This Car Look So Different?
- Tank-like body: The car has straight, sharp edges instead of curvy ones, making it look strong and serious
- Long front part: The bonnet (front part of the car) is longer than most cars you see today
- Sloping roof: The roof goes down toward the back like a ramp
- New brand look: Jaguar is changing how all their cars will look in the future, and this car shows that new style
- Road presence: This means the car looks so cool that people will notice it right away on the road
Team-BHP, a place where people talk about cars, says that these special JEA cars will be built only in the United Kingdom. According to Lead the Charge, the batteries for this car are made by a company called Agrata, also in the UK.
Electrifying confirms that the production model (the one people will actually be able to buy) will have a range of about 478 miles. This is Jaguar’s way of showing everyone their new design philosophy and where the company is heading in the future of electric cars.
