I have mine for 1.5 year now and it's awesome car, the package of luxury/driving pleasure/practicality/range makes it more on par with Etron Sportback and Taycan than with Eniaq or EQA. Tried the Mustang Mach E AWD and Kia EV6 AWD and none of these come close in terms of driving dynamics.
I'm about to hit 3 years on my I-Pace and it remains a joy to drive every time I get in it. I think the finishes are quite nice on the HSE trim and the interior cockpit still seems quite roomy given that the car does not feel like an SUV to me (seems more like a large, boxy but very quick GT than an SUV). I wasn't really a Jaguar person before and still am not that into the brand as some kind of "fan", but people do seem to respond to it.
Good review. In Sweden this is a really expensive EV if you want the bells and whistles. Still I really like the design and could see myself in an iPace. Must say the comparison to the EQA is a bit strange. EQC is more like the iPace sizewise but is still lower in price. Personally I don't think the ID4 and Enyaq are in the same class as these 2. Neither is the Q4 if I understand several testers correct.
I love that you speak English so well to know the phrase "bells and whistles"! Most of us could only dream of mastering a second (or perhaps third or fourth in your case?) language as well. Sadly my Swedish is very much lacking.
Still a compelling LUXURY EV. Sure, you can go buy something with either more mileage and cheaper, or more mileage and uglier. However, not better looking unless it's a 135,000 pound Porsche Sport Cross Tourismo in the luxe group, and the mileage is comparable. Still want an I-Pace!!
Yes, it is expensive, but it is beautiful. For the same reason that you should marry an attractive spouse, when you walk out to the garage every day it’s better to see something that is easy on the eyes versus something that is not. Unlike a Tesla, it looks like a car rather than a suppository and you won’t hear people say “well, it’s not THAT ugly” as they do about Teslas or other cars that have awkward proportions or forgot to include a grill. And you won’t have the Police pulling you over for defacing public property every time you put it on the road like you do in an I3 or a Kona or some eTrons.
The biggest problem with the previous generation I-Pace was the efficiency and therefore the range as it often struggled to do more than 300km/190 miles real range (I have a friend who ran out of battery on a 311 km road trip with the I-Pace ) I-Pace's range is kind of ridiculous when you compare it with something like a Kia eNiro : I-Pace has about 50% larger battery than the Kia Niro but the Kia manages to do 50% more range (450 km real range) than the I-Pace.
The range of the I-Pace is overstated for sure. In cold northern USA weather, you will be lucky to get 160 miles of highway driving. In warmer periods, MAYBE you can get 180 miles of range while driving 70-75 mph. Because of its awful charging speed (only 100 kw max), it will take you 1.25 hrs of charging for every 2.5 hrs of highway driving. This is a fact. I own one.
I own an i-Pace and it is brilliant. But what it has in spades. is fantastic, drop dead, good looks (as well as pace, handling and joy to driveability).
Lot of helpful info. The fact that many desirable options are extra cost is disappointing since many other luxury EVs add some of these options as standard. Plus, the iPace isn’t keeping up technology wise with other luxury EVs.
I live in the US so the alternatives are slightly different (we dont have the Skoda or BMW ix3 for example), but even in 2023 I still want an I-pace over any others. The problem is that JLR barely imports any here, so they are pretty much unobtainable and a used 2022 costs more than the original MSRP! Nothing else seems to combine the same level of looks, driving experience, and interior comfort/practicality/price. For example, an etron is more comfortable and has more room but it kind of drives like a boat and is much bigger exterior wise. The Taycan drives even better but its very expensive and very cramped inside given how big it is. All the other cars you mentioned are a big step down in terms of looks, drving experience and interior comfort/quality. Stuff like the ID4, Kia Niro, etc are several classes below and are way less appealing. I mean sure- if all you care about is having a cheap EV go for it. But its kind of like saying you could buy a Toyota Corolla for less than a Lexus LS or something. Or a Golf is cheaper than a Panamera. Sure..but kind of misses the point. I do agree that some of the optional stuff should be standard but that seems to be the way of all premium manufacturers; stuff that's standard in much cheaper cars costs $$$ in more expensive ones. Check out any Porsche configurator if you want to see an extreme example of this. As of 2022, Jaguar only sold the HSE trim level here and it came standard with pretty much everything (with a few odd omissions like wireless phone charging).
Not quite, the comparison is very fair, especially when you consider EV range - more to the point, a premium vehicle should get better range etc, but alas it (and others like the e-tron) don't. And of course, Porsche is no better in terms of options, and it's something we equally critique. As mentioned in the review, there's a place/market for the I-Pace, just depends on your criteria and budget. Looks like Jaguar's offering really appeals to you!
@@TotallyEV Not sure I agree that a premium/more expensive vehicle should necessarily get better range. There are plenty of examples of ICE cars where a more expensive car has less range and efficiency (in some cases less than 200 miles of range!). Think about a BMW M3 vs a 330d for example. Or a Prius compared to a V8 Panamera. On a related note, it's also kind of like saying that a premium car should always have more cargo interior room than a less premium one. Of course that's not the case. I think that if range is really a big deal for your daily driving, you probably shouldn't buy an EV at all yet. For most of us anything with 200 miles or more range is enough to get us through 95% of our driving situations. Plus, real world and tested ranges vary so much on individual circumstances. And certain manufacturers tend to be more optimistic than others (Does a Tesla Model 3 really have more range than a base Taycan in the real world? Even if it does would you really rather drive the Tesla? Maybe, maybe not). If you are really stuck deciding between 2 EVs, then sure maybe efficiency or range could a deciding factor. But I think once you get to this price point you are going to choose a car primarily for the way it looks drives and feels, not just because one has "better range". I've just noticed that many journalists tend to harp on range as such a big deal and, when you think about it, it's not really that important for most people. I think it leads, in some cases, to buying a worse car just to get better supposed range or overbuying based on your needs (paying more and lugging around more battery weight). Unfortunatley, here in the US that mentality applies to cars/SUVs in general. We'll buy a Chevy Suburban because we might need to haul lumber + 7 passengers while driving on the beach at some point. Anyway, just something to think about. I really enjoy your reviews which is why I'm taking the time to write this feedback.
Would be nice if the performance and range is upgraded to Model Y Performance, EV6 GT or Mach-E GT levels. Seriously considering it for my next car but it feels all I’m getting for the huge price tag is the looks
these are low-quality cars. All these cars have creaking interiors with the slightest pressure on the panel. Materials are cheap. Jaguar is just another level! Leather seats of different quality, plastic, metal, panel docking... Everything is much better. The body is made of expensive aluminum. If you are not blind and appreciate quality, then you will ask why cheap Ford, Kia, etc. are so expensive?!
Honestly wish I could afford one, as it's one of the few EVs like with the soul EV that would perfectly suit my lifestyle (with the 0-60 time, cargo capacity and range)
I-pace sales have been down every year, I never hear anyone talk about this EV nor say they want one. What’s wrong with this car? Is it not as good as people say, is it price point?
Looks like a nicer interior with ventilated seats, a bit larger than the xc40. But other than that it's way more expensive. If price wasn't an issue would you still recommend the I pace over the xc40?
Do you think ev age faster? I remember when this came out, it was so cool, but pricey. Now the tech seems dated and pricey. I totally forgot this car still existed.
@@Wasabi9111 that's a good question. Honestly, the I-Pace is a fantastic all-rounder, just too expensive. If it were say £50-60k it would be an easy recommendation. Like any vehicle, there are always newer models, the thing with EVs is that they can 'easily' be upgraded by manufacturers. Be it in terms of range/efficiency (due to better battery tech and/or software updates that squeeze out performance; like was the case with the I-Pace actually!), or in terms of tech, which yet again the I-Pace got a refresh in this department.
A great car love mine wish I could replace it with another one but will not be renewing as the market has moved on so much and this car is now falling behind on tech and price for a renewed 3 year term.
Very nice car. After trying all the other ev's (Ioniq 5, Kia, E-tron). It was down to this and the Model Y. Went with the Tesla Model Y in the end much more space and faster, software was much better and loved the white interior. I pace is certainly one if the best though.
I agree with you 1000%!! Jaguar isn't keeping up with the car industry. I noticed that you didn't say the Kia EV6 (or I missed it in the end) which takes its front and rear spoiler design cues from the Ipace. Nevertheless the EV6 reliability is the lesser of the 2 cars and that's not saying much for JLR build quality also long term ownership. I'll be waiting on my VW ID.4 in hopes that Ipace will catch up but it's over priced here in the U.S. too $78-89k is too much for lack of range & charging time plus extra for a usual standard feature wireless charging pad is ridiculous.
One could say that at the time of its release, the charging infrastructure was nowhere near what it is now. Thus its main competitor, Tesla, was leading the way for practicality.
I got eyes. I can see what it looks like. What I can't do is touch "things" for functionality and ergonomics so why bother the drool on it looks ......with this curvy lines.. wtf? And cos these has been a number of super droozy voiced empty content, You my friend got me to my threshold. You the lucky winner😊
The iPace has a struggle on it's hands now, with the likes of the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Genesis GV series cars. Slightly disconcerting to see the start of heavy fabric creasing on the seats, given the car you had was a 70 reg....... Forgive me for mentioning it, but you have an odd way of pronouncing Jaguar.... it almost comes out as Jagwar.
Worst car I have ever owned had for 3yrs, in garage for 6months they couldn't fix known safety fault so returned car to me anyway. Dealer, Finance and JLR not interested and pointed responsibility with each other.
I have the same sort of experience. My I-Pace does not respond to the key fob ani am not able to use the button opener unless I hold the fob next to the handle. It’s ridiculous and I as I have found on the I-Pace forum, ubiquitous to the vehicle. JLR of Na and the dealership has told me to “pound sand” as they can’t fix it. Standard Jag service record.
I have Jaguar ipace 2022. It's a piece of garbage. I named it death trap. In 6 months I escaped death 4 times. Jaguar is not concerned about it. Service is zero level. If we have cars and dealer like jaguar. Trust me jaguar will not be in business in near future. Beware this car stops abruptly in the middle of nowhere 🤔. Jaguar says they're is no problem.

As for the comparisons, we feel they're all valid and vehicles that prospective EV buyers might be considering.
I agree, ID4 etc are not I-Pace competitors as they are not in the same segment
I love that you speak English so well to know the phrase "bells and whistles"!
Most of us could only dream of mastering a second (or perhaps third or fourth in your case?) language as well. Sadly my Swedish is very much lacking.
"Mailing it in" should be the motto of any EV manufacturer that house huge batteries and get paltry mileages.
Haha!
Still a compelling LUXURY EV. Sure, you can go buy something with either more mileage and cheaper, or more mileage and uglier. However, not better looking unless it's a 135,000 pound Porsche Sport Cross Tourismo in the luxe group, and the mileage is comparable. Still want an I-Pace!!
