The Jaguar Type 01 is finally here—and almost nothing about it is conventional.
Nik Miles goes inside Jaguar's Gaydon headquarters in England for a close look at the new Type 01, the electric four-door GT that begins an entirely new era for Jaguar.
This is the production car inspired by the controversial Type 00 concept, and Jaguar hasn't exactly toned things down.
We're talking about approximately 1,000 horsepower from three electric motors, an 850-volt electrical architecture, ultra-fast charging, 23-inch wheels and rear-wheel steering.
And then there is the design.
The Type 01 has no conventional rear window. Instead, a rear-mounted camera feeds a dedicated display positioned at the base of the windshield. Jaguar says engineers spent hundreds of hours determining exactly where that screen should sit.
Inside, a massive 24-inch OLED display spans the dashboard, while a central spine divides the cabin into individual spaces for all four passengers. AI-powered voice control can even determine which passenger is speaking and adjust that person's climate settings.
The audio system is just as unusual. A Meridian soundbar stretches across the base of the windshield, supported by speakers throughout the car and even inside the seats.
Jaguar says the Type 01 isn't designed simply to win a horsepower contest. It's intended to be a fast, quiet and exceptionally comfortable electric grand tourer capable of covering enormous distances.
Nik walks around the exterior, gets inside the cabin and shows you the technology that Jaguar hopes will redefine the brand.
Has Jaguar gone too far—or has it created exactly the car it needed?

The redesigned 2027 Volkswagen Atlas has three genuine rows, room for seven, a far more premium interior—and a safety system that can bring the SUV to a stop if the driver becomes unresponsive.

Nik Miles drives the new Atlas to find out whether Volkswagen has built a better family SUV or simply added more technology.

Inside, there’s real wood, available Nappa leather, a huge 15-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, dual wireless phone charging and considerably more useful center-console storage thanks to a new column-mounted shifter.

Families still get seating for up to seven, an adult-friendly third row, standard rear sunshades and plenty of cargo room for luggage, dog crates and everything else that comes with family life.

But one of the most interesting features is Emergency Assist. If the Atlas detects that the driver is no longer responding while Travel Assist is operating, it can issue repeated warnings, slow the vehicle, activate the hazard lights and bring it toward a stop.

The new Atlas also gets Volkswagen's updated 282-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, available all-wheel drive and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity.

So how does the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas stack up against the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Honda Pilot, Toyota Grand Highlander, Chevrolet Traverse and Ford Explorer?

Nik finds out.

A stained, wet, or smelly carpet can quietly hurt your car’s trade-in value — and fixing damaged automotive carpet can get expensive fast.
In this video, I show one of the simplest ways to protect your vehicle’s interior: properly fitted, laser-cut 3D floor mats with raised edges that contain water, mud, coffee, dog mess, and everything else family life throws at your car.
I’m using OEDRO mats in my Toyota Camry as an example, but this isn’t about one particular brand. The important things are fit, coverage, materials, raised edges, and making sure the driver’s mat is securely locked into the factory retention points.
If you have kids, dogs, bad weather — or you plan to trade your car someday — protecting the original carpet now could make a real difference later.
And one important safety reminder: never stack floor mats, and always make sure the driver’s mat cannot move toward the accelerator or brake pedal.
I’m Nik Miles, and I love my job.

What connects your family car, a lawnmower, a boat and a jet? One engine manufacturer with a surprisingly broad reach: Honda.

Join Nik Miles at Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta to explore an engine story that stretches from everyday machines to Acura’s hybrid racing prototype. Along the way, we head onto Lake Lanier, look at the GE Honda partnership behind the HondaJet’s engines, and experience the road-going Acura Integra Type S on a circuit.

These machines have very different jobs, but their engineers face familiar challenges: managing heat, reducing friction, improving efficiency and keeping power dependable. Endurance racing puts those challenges on unusually public display.

From the school run to the racetrack, and from cutting grass to flying above it, this is a story about the extraordinary variety of things one company helps power.
