Jaguar’s stunning-looking I-Pace was built from the ground up as an electric car, so there have been no design compromises.

With the batteries low in the body, the centre of gravity is also low, which gives it excellent handling.

It’s the sportiest EV of them all and one of the best looking. The downside of the sporty handling is a ride that’s stiffer than you’d like it to be. Both Audi’s e-tron and Merc’s EQC are more comfortable to ride in.

But the I-Pace’s biggest drawback is its lack of realworld range, which can be as low as 220 miles – and in the cold it’s lower than that.
