Jaguar reveals details of I-pace electric SUV

Jaguar has pulled the covers off its first all-electric car - the I-pace. With 395bhp, all-wheel-drive and space for five passengers, Jaguar claims the I-pace puts it at the forefront of the EV revolution. At the heart of the I-pace is its all-electric all-wheel-drive powertrain. A 90kwh battery powers two electric motors with a combined output of 395lb/ft and 513lb/ft, delivering a 0-60mph time of just 4.5 seconds but returning up to 298 miles on a charge. To deliver a “true Jaguar” driver-focused experience, the I-pace’s bespoke architecture uses advanced construction technology to deliver a light, stiff body structure. It has the highest torsional rigidity of any Jaguar and offers perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Advanced double wishbone front and integral link rear axle with optional air suspension has been set up to offer a blend of agility and comfort and the I-pace features configurable adaptive dynamics. While the sporty, cab-forward exterior was influenced by the C-X75 supercar, the interior is focused on space and comfort. Thanks to the positioning of the battery and motors Jaguar say the mid-sized I-pace offers the interior space of cars in the class above. The I-pace is the first Jaguar to get the Touch Pro Duo ‘Flight Deck’, infotainment system, which uses twin touchscreens, capacitive sensors and physical controls. There’s also a 12-inch interactive driver display and colour head-up display. The car’s EV navigation system assesses the topography of the route and insights from previous journeys, including driving style, to calculate personalised range and charging status. The I-pace will come in three regular trim levels - S, SE and HSE plus a special First Edition model. Order books are now open, with prices starting at £63,495.
