Our test of the Jaguar I-Pace: the anti-Tesla

It's no longer a secret that many car brands have decided to enter the electric car market. This choice has been motivated by the European Union's bill to ban the sale of combustion-powered cars from 2035. Jaguar is no exception to this rule with its very luxurious model, the Jaguar i Pace. Today, we invite you to discover our test drive of the Jaguar i Pace in video and in our article. The brand's first 100% electric car is also one of the first Premium electric vehicles to compete with Tesla's such as the Tesla Model X, for example.

Our Jaguar i Pace video test

Driving

On this Jaguar, 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in 4.8 seconds, which is better than most electric SUVs, but not as good asTesla models.

This SUV has all the current assistance systems, only better. The cruise control, for example, analyzes the front field to determine whether it is possible to accelerate and maintain the speed desired by the driver. For a little more fun, several driving modes are available, including one called "dynamic", which uses speakers to create a false combustion engine noise during acceleration.

Test Jaguar i-pace

This It's important to bear in mind that this Jaguar consumes a lot of fuel on the freeway, up to 38 kWh at 130 km/h.

Both motors offer efficiencies of up to 97% when transferring energy from the battery to the motor. An internal combustion engine, on the other hand, is generally only 30-40% efficient when producing power from fossil fuels. They have been developed by Jaguar engineers on the basis of knowledge and experience gained from the I-TYPE, the Formula E single-seater.

The interior

The design of the i-Pace is both true to the Jaguar spirit and to the i-Pace concept. The wide grille is turned inwards to reduce drag by channelling air to the hood and outwards, where it flows over a curved roofline for maximum efficiency.

This Jaguar is first and foremost a 5-seater. But make no mistake, despite the leather seats and all those USB sockets in the back and storage for an iPad, the person in the middle won't have a very pleasant journey.

100% touch-sensitive instrument panel with Land Rover inspiration. Special mention for the Recaro seats: the driving position is perfect.

 

The small negative point is the layout of the screens which are too low and forcing us to look away from the road.. There's no gearshift or handbrake.

There are USB connectors everywhere, and plenty of storage space. The seats are memory foam and heated. The steering wheel can be too, but this is optional.
