One of the images also confirms that the Type 01 has a low, swooping ceiling that features panoramic glass.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jaguar Type 01 seats\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/type01_gl_front_seat_16x9.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The driving position appears to be low-set and the dashboard is notably clear of instrumentation. There is a large digital information display screen in front of the driver, but only a small touchscreen console for heating and infotainment controls rising from the central spine. Jaguar refers to this as &#8220;hidden on-demand technology&#8221;, which, it claims, has been integrated directly into the car&#8217;s architecture.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a distinct division between the driver and front passenger sections in the design of the dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>An overhead image shows that the &#8216;strikethrough&#8217; motifs on the dashboard also appear on the top lip of the bonnet in an attempt to fuse the interior and exterior design.<\/p>\n<p>Another notable feature is that the car lacks a traditional rear-view mirror &#8211; the images also confirm that, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/polestar\/4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Polestar 4<\/a>, the Type 01 will not have a rear window &#8211; but instead has a digital rear-view camera. Unusually, the screen for this is located at the base of the windscreen, matched to the height of the wing mirrors.<\/p>\n<p>Jaguar cites travertine stone and &#8220;the rich textures of artisan textiles&#8221; as influences for the cabin, with select elements chosen to add to the premium feel, such as the brass-inspired finish of the central spine and top of the doors, which feature Jaguar&#8217;s leaper logo embossed into them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Jaguar Type 01 leaper\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/type01_gl_hiddel_leaper_16x9.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jaguar has revealed the bold interior of the new Type 01 electric GT ahead of the car&#8217;s full&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-735349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
