Jaguar's new electric car, the Type 01, launched in New York, targeting young and wealthy American buyers, according to The Guardian.
The vehicle has no rear window and would not fit into a standard UK parking space, measuring more than 5.2 meters long and 2 meters wide. It starts at roughly £130,000, or around $172,000.
The launch marks the culmination of a two-year rebrand that has drawn significant scrutiny within the automotive industry, as Jaguar repositioned itself around a new electric vehicle strategy.
By launching in New York rather than the UK, Jaguar is signaling a clear focus on the American market, targeting rich tech industry buyers who the report says are well suited to the wide open roads of the United States given the car's substantial dimensions.
The pricing and scale of the Type 01 place it firmly in the luxury segment of the electric vehicle market, aiming to compete for a wealthy customer base in the US rather than prioritizing markets with more constrained parking and road infrastructure, such as the UK.
