Jaguar Type 01 interior revealed with four-seat layout

Jaguar has pulled back the curtain on the interior of its Type 01 electric grand tourer, and the cabin is as unconventional as the car's exterior suggested it would be.

The layout centres on four individual seats rather than the usual rear bench, with a structural central spine running the full length of the cabin from dashboard to the back of the car. According to multiple reports, that spine is a defining feature of the interior design rather than simply a storage solution, and it shapes how passengers on both sides of the car relate to the space around them.

The technology inside the Type 01 takes a deliberately restrained approach to how it presents itself. Screens and controls are described as "hidden on demand", meaning they can be tucked away when not in use so the cabin reads as a calmer, less cluttered environment. The car also has no conventional rear window and no rear-view mirror, which multiple reports highlight as one of the more striking departures from what drivers would normally expect inside any production car.

Materials take their cues from travertine stone, giving surfaces a natural, textured character rather than the gloss finishes common in contemporary EV interiors. The overall effect, as described across multiple reports, is of a space that borrows as much from interior design as it does from conventional automotive thinking.

The Type 01 remains a car that has divided opinion since its reveal, and the interior details will give both admirers and critics plenty more to consider. For now, Jaguar has not confirmed a price or a definitive on-sale date.
