Premium electric SUV buyers are spoilt for choice at the moment with a whole load of posh pure EV high-riders on sale.
It's fair to say, however, that BMW has been a bit slow to catch on in this part of the market. Mercedes and Audi have had their models, the EQC and e-tron respectively, on sale for a while now, and Jaguar beat all of them by introducing its I-Pace first.
The new iX3 is the car BMW hopes to gain some lost ground on its rivals, but can it beat our favourite, the Jag I-Pace. Both do similar things and are appealing to similar customers but they are quite different in approach. Which one is best? Ginny Buckley finds out.

As an I Pace owner for the last year, I have to agree with Ginny… it is fast, exciting, powerful, sporty, has brilliant road holding, a superb interior and now after 3 years since launch, the only car to beat it is the Taycan but I much prefer the SUV style as I have always had SUVs. Jaguar have nailed it with the I Pace, it’s a rocket ship that handles like a high performance car! Absolutely nothing out there could tempt me otherwise as an EV and in White with the Panoramic Roof, the Black Pack & the obscenely large 22” Diamond Cut Alloys…. It’s just unbeatable 🇬🇧 👍 here, here Jaguar 👏👏👏👏
Bro, Jaguar is the best....❤️❤️ 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I’d take a Tesla Model Y when in lands in UK.
You are obviously wedded to your much loved car but for most people it is already looking like a ‘bubble’ car. Just as Nissan never followed up with the Leaf, Jaguar haven’t pushed on with the i-Pace. Sub-contracting the manufacturing to Steyr tells you all you need to know about their ambitions. In 2018 I thought it was brilliant that they had built a proper EV on an EV only platform, unlike the offerings from Merc/BMW/Audi (their main competitors) at the time. But they never followed up and are now being comprehensively outsold by those brands EVs. Where is the cheaper RWD option? Where the software upgrades and the range improvements? Right now the i-Pace looks to be in a manufacturing dead-end with no derivatives and falling sales. With the Tesla Model Y arriving in Europe now the Jaguar will be further marginalised in this price/category of car. It will undoubtedly become a future classic though and if I had one I would hang on to it!
Awesome Jag 🤘 I-Pace even beats a Tesla in every area except acceleration, plush luxurious interiors and far better looking.
@@TheCarxpert You’re entitled to your opinion but the facts say otherwise. The Jag was launched in March 2018, that’s 3.5 years ago and cumulative sales have only just reached 45,000. The Tesla model Y sold 76,000 in the first six months of 2021 and was only launched in Spring last year. Ultimately that’s the only area that matters as car companies need to make a profit to keep going. Jaguar are just not serious about EVs and they don’t care about their customers. If they did they would at least join up with the Ionity consortium and negotiate a decent charging price for their customers as Mercedes and BMW have done. Drivers of these premium brands do higher than average miles, they are business execs on the road and need rapid charging which is where the Jag falls flat on its i-Face. For all its design excellence the i-Pace cannot be taken seriously and the low sales figures tell us that is exactly the case.
Just got the IX3 M Sports Pro - an absolutely brilliant car. Checked all the boxes for me... Now 5 year warranty and 5 years free charging and service and included home wall charger. Great deal!
Jag wins by a mile. Built in Austria by professionals and best drive available
Two great cars. BMW for me because of seating position and tech
I have the I-Pace for 1.5 year now and it's a fantastic car to drive, very practical (3 dogs / 3 Kids here) and yes, it always put a smile on my face when I drive. best car I've driven, love it so much !
Ipace definitely wins. The," should have gone to specsavers grill" looks awful to me, and would be a definite no for me,also dedicated EV platform for the Jag.
Thanks for the video.
Heating controls. No problem, I can use mine on the move, cup holders? What’s that all about. It’s a great car.
Jag I pace is a fantastic car. It's best ever car I did driver so far.. it's fun to drive. I love this beautiful I pace. I recommend to anyone.
Do you still enjoy this?
When it came to choosing an electric car back in 2019 the iX3 was yet to be released and my short list came down to the EQC, E-Tron or the I-Pace. I watched Ginny's review and she was so in love with the car, it's performance, looks and handling. Qualities the EQC and E-Tron just don't have. Merc and Audi may sell a lot more of their vehicles but space aside, they don't come close to the I-Pace. After 30,000 miles It is still as fun and exciting to drive the I-Pace as the first time I punched the accelerator with the chequered flag on the dashboard. My only surprise is that it hasn't outsold the other 2 cars, I guess its the extra height and badge?
Which operates better off pavement?
I've never had amproblem witht the heating or other controls.
Personally I’d go for neither, but iPace looks so much better than the iX3 which looks so dated.
I have an I-Pace and it's sublime. The infotainment is laggy, but I use Android auto for Google maps and Spotify. They work great. Range with the 22" rims isn't even close to 292mi. More like 200mi on the freeway at 75mph/120kph.
Mine too. 200 miles max range with the 22” Diamond Cut Alloys but boy…., doesn’t it look awesome 😎 😃
What's the ride like? I heard some people say the 22's are not as comfortable as 20's.
@@alexkaa1022 can’t fault it & I seriously mean that. As mine is the S Model, it doesn’t have air suspension & I honestly can’t see why you would need it or what benefit it would have. My wife drives ours all week & has never once mentioned the ride. It handles superb, it’s firm but certainly not uncomfortable no matter what the surface & ….. as for looks, it’s the show piece with the 22” Diamond Cut Alloys 😁
PiviPro is fine, and actually it's predecessor was not bad either.
The comparison review I would like to see is the Kia EV6 vs. the Jaguar I-pace! Very similar cars but at totally different price points. If you can get over badge snobbery, I know which one I would choose.
Lots of reviews and opinions, decided to own an I pace - I also agreed with Ginny. last 10 more years I am driving Premiums, this I pace is something else. Sleek SUV great design excellent control .
6:00 noise reduction?
Longer range, speed of charge, less complicated interface, cost, size, looks like neither have it in the bag.
I thought the iX3 is rear wheel drive, so not equivalent. No comparison to the jaguar elegance
Heater controls in the iPace work just fine. All cars take a day or two to get used to them
What's Electri fying in chinese?
I don't like fashion blotted SUVs but the Jaguar I Pace is a work of art well done Jag! Me love our humble little BMW i3S gives me a smile every day 😁
I-PACE has more rear passenger space, a bigger boot and more premium interior. Depends on your priorities but if you like driving the Jag is the only option. The iX3 is just slightly more efficient that's all.
👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧 well said 👍
No prizes for guessing my choice! 😉
nan loves ya so much . more than me for saying that to someone as special as GB ♥️
An interesting comparison of two ‘old world’ brands but unless you are so deeply ingrained with brand snobbery why would you bother with either of them when the brilliant Kia EV6 and now the Tesla Model Y are available in Europe. Let’s see some tests of these two up against the Tesla and the Kia. We know they will lose out on range and outright performance but what about build quality, infotainment, NVH? From the reports I’ve read the Tesla and Kia are a match for these two in those departments as well.
While on paper the have similar range in real life driving the BMW has more range, way more efficient, and the new facelift makes it a tad more aggressive in the looks department and absolutely trounces the Jag in infotainment systeem, double screen / HUD Apple CarPlay. Take a look at actual long distance travel and you will definitely take the iX3 over the jag anytime of the day ... just simulated some trips with a better route planner 1H20min longer charging in the JAG for a 1250km trip
But the BMW is so ugly!
the main push-back is the slow recharge time of the Jaguar. The Bjorn Nylan 1’000 km challenges shows that as does your simulation (I also made several of them with ABRPI) But on a more typical 615 km journey where initial range matter more the difference is far smaller so it depends if you travel often long (i.e. 1000 rather than 500 km) distance often.
The ix3 has something extra , instead of a front grill it has a pair of glasses on the front 😂😂
Oh yeah, identical to my sun glasses!
😮 my god! Did this woman who makes this review get a free I-Pace, because it really sounds that way. She is missing feedback from the ix3 steering which happens to have the best steering feel of all ev suv cars so far, if you know cars you also know this. Jaguars may have a good a share of the market in the UK also in Australia, but in the rest of the world they do not have that and there’s a reason for that. It is okay to market and favor product’s from the home market, but my good there’s a limit with it also.
I-PACE is gorgeous but it was borderline outdated when it was released in 2019 and with only minor updates, it's fallen even further behind. EV6 looks similar and the Mustang Mach-E is another good alternative with loads more range.
EV6 is absolutely not as fun to drive, I drove the AWD EV6 and found it sluggish compared to the I-Pace. And interior quality is not in the same league !
Chalk and cheese. The iPace isn’t a traditional SUV (it’s too ‘swoops’ for that moniker), but is a 4x4. The BMW thinks it’s an SUV (and associated box on wheels aerodynamics) but doesn’t have the off road capability of the Jaguar. So why compare them as SUVs?
No one interested in the Jag would be interested in the BMW and vice versa!
I wouldn’t swap my Skoda Enyaq 60 for either of them. Great fit and finish, about equal mileage, quality drive experience, more than sufficient power and HALF THE PRICE !!
More like Jaguar lost it, it has largely stagnated for 2 years. Interesting seeing the two i-pace you-tubers both saying this week a number of i-pace drivers are switching to the Kia EV6 as their lease contracts start to come up next year. I suspect the EV6 will be taking a lot of sales off BMW as well (what did the i3 drivers move to, Tesla model 3 I imagine for most)
As I know both youtubers as friends, I would like to correct that neither said they were moving to Kia, but they said it was an excellent package. As someone who has inside knowledge, I can tell you that JLR are bringing plans forward for the I-Pace.
@@aquissuk lol JLR have been bringing forward plans for electric cars for years, somehow the i-pace actually materialised. Its not like it needs much of an upgrade, a switch to 800v wiring & motors, perhaps more energy dense batteries to reduce the weight and they’re competitive again
I test drove both the EV6 GT line and the I Pace. I'm 5.10 and I personally found the EV6 very clostrophbic and couldn't get comfortable in it.The Jaguar was much more spacious and a better driving experience. But again it's just one man's opinion.
Most SUVs are hideous, but how the hell can anyone bear to be seen in the Beemer with it's comedy sunglasses. £60k+ for a car that makes people laugh at you!
The I pace to lease was about £600 a month and the bmw £430 when I ordered the bow 6 months a go!!!!!
Yep. Via salary sacrifice, I get the BMW iX3 M Sport Pro for £535 including insurance, tyres, service etc The iPace equivalent was £100 more. That's just too much. I went with the iX3, shame iPace was v nice. These two are better than the EV6 and Teslas in my view. Just more complete packages that are driver focused
The Jag is a brilliant car and easily the better of the two. Fast and easy to drive with great looks. As for the infotainment system, that really is not an issue in the real world because once you have set everything up as you want it everything else is straightforward. A BMW made in China is simply not a true BMW.
Yes I just bought an I pace and this review gets it right. I drove an IX3 and its chalk vs cheese -not even in the same ballpark compared with the I pace.
What is interesting is that the recent What Car review of the same cars came to the opposite conclusion which shows What Cars bias towards the German cars again -advertising revenue perhaps What car?
Nevertheless Jaguar, whilst this was way ahead of the pack 3 years ago you are losing your lead. It desperately needs new versions ( and a new name?) More power options such as single motor running for economy , performance version with Tesla top speeds , higher battery charging rate and improved shape ( even though the styling still looks good.)
It really is not good enough to put on a chrome grill on and a worse Satnav system for the 21MY -it really is not good enough!
A suv shootout of a 2 wheel v AWD, try again.
most of the people thinks that EV6 or Ioniq5 has better cabin. No way. IX3 is crazy good, and much better suspension system. On the other had, the Jag has a sporty ride with great heritage. The interior design of the Jag is something that the market is missing: it's art. The korean cheap plastic EV6 or Ioniq5 has no chance. Genesis GV60 Sport is the only car that could beat the germans & the english gentleman Jaguar. I would wait for the best built E-GMP car, and that will be the Genesis by far. IX3 is an underrated sleeper, its a well tested cabin with lots of experience, a no risk buy. Jaguar is a beautiful masterpiece. Ioniq5 is a well constructed average car, and EV6 is a joke with rubbish exterior. I would wait for the EQB. I will probably decide between EQB / IX3 / GV60S. I just need a car around city the close destination points. I will never sell my Lexus fossil V8 for longer journeys... 20minutes charging time is waay too much for me & my familie. people are generally over estimating the korean car industry.
Hiding that BMW grill is probably the only justification for one of those hideous vinyl ‘car bras’… Pity the iPace’s range falls of a cliff in the average temperatures of an Australian summer making it little more than a city car in summer.
IX3 is two wheel drive, so why did they use tthe X reference? Surely miss-selling it? And that grille! No way BMW and i drove 525s and X5s for 25 years. BMW. have lost it.
I’m a big fan of the i-Pace despite it’s slow charging and high consumption BUT I hate when reviewer repeats brands marketing lies without figuring if true or not : the boot of the i-Pace is MUCH smaller than the iX3. If you have any doubt type Bjorn Nylan banana box test and the name of any EV
Jaguar warranty in the US is 5 yrs, not 3 yrs, therefore much more than the BMW 3 year warranty.
On the nail.
BMW are misleading to use the x in iX3 as it is not 4 wheel drive. IPace is way ahead
I-Pace is really NOT a cross-over but a 4 door coupe. iX3 is disappointing and boring front end design.
Jaguar was really ahead of its time but lacked the hype of tesla
So why has the i-Pace has sold so poorly if it’s so good? Is it that the battery tech (LG cells I believe with JLR making the BMS)...the efficiency seems way below an equivalent Tesla. I saw one being used in Poitiers as a taxi the other day and have to say it looks a great car though out of my league on price. The Jaguar brand is in great danger of not making it through the EV revolution, sales are terrible which would be sad considering how early they came with such an excellent car on a purpose built EV platform. Their problem has and always will be generating enough volume to make a margin. They were going to do a pure electric XJ but that project seems to have been canned.
Noticing a significant increase in i-pace numbers on UK roads - lots of discounted lease schemes now eg. for NHS employees (1m+)
@@MrJtedds That’s a laugh. Most NHS workers are low paid, you would need to be earning consultants money to afford one even on a discounted scheme. Fact is the i-Pace is a poor seller, only 4,700 sold globally in the first 6 months of 2021, against 76,000 for the Tesla Model Y in the same period.
Shortage of chips is causing the low sales. Affecting all manufacturers
I didn't buy one despite it being my top choice because the iX3 M Sport Pro was over £100 per month cheaper via company car scheme. Give the Pro had all the bells and whistles, driver superbly - even if not quite as sporty as the iPace. Also comes with better infotainment.
I-Pace all day long for me, in fact I'd take it even if it had no infotainment or cup holders, it's just such a head turner. As for the BMW, if it's a kitten playing with a ball of wool - that's one ugly kitty!
I Pace is the best, and the most beautiful car!
Can someone please please explain all the nagging about the frunk? If this had been what the world needed the Volkswagen Type 3 1600 Variant would have saved the world 50 years ago 🤣🤣🤣
Jaguar. Every time.
I prefer the BMW because of its build quality and its the best size s.u.v. in its class.
Build quality? You clearly haven’t sat in an I Pace!
I have sat in a number of I Pace and they are superb. Have you been in one?
All electric vehicles use old school, primitive batteries. The future bodes well. MINUTES, not hours, for charging. Can't wait to retrofit my (still waiting) i Pace.
You don’t know what you are talking about electric motors have horse power ICE have brakehorse Power
Any motor can have any measurement you like Allan. kW is actually more common for electric cars, but we convert to bhp as that's what British drivers are used to seeing.
The iX3 has the best tech, infotainment and comfort with the adaptive suspension. The I-pace's proportions just looks odd on the externally and already looks dated inside. Can't beat BMW's build quality, it's for no reason that they always a company car favourite.
Well I can’t agree. The long hood is a dead giveaway that this is not a purpose built EV and that means less cabin and luggage space. And enough said about the ridiculously expanding front specs. Not a fan of modern BMW design language. In my mind this is a backward step for BMW.
If someone GAVE me either or both of these I'd accept but only to flip. :-) Great video. Happy trails.
Neither.
it’s not the jag tho lol
EV6 outshine them both and the KIA is much cheaper.
Looked at the iX3 at the BMW Golf last week. They didn't put much effort into it's looks, thats for sure! I suppose there are companies trying to retain their brand identity but I like the ones that are modernising it it for their EVs.
Anyway, £65k is OK if you are buying through a business so it costs you 50% of that after tax. For retired old codgers like myself it makes no sense at all so I'll just carry on with my gas guzzler!! (we do have a Smart EQ for all the local runs though)
I agree with Ginny's conclusion, great review. Whilst IX3 is the newest it could be argued its the oldest as its based on the ancient X3. Can't understand why Range Rover aren't producing a version. They vaginally produced the Velar off the back of the F Pace.
I’d definitely choose the iX3, I much prefer its looks overall although I do like the seats in the I-Pace.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great review. 👌totally agree with points made and the jaguar is a great car.
I've never been a fan of Jaguar's rear end on all its new cars - the XF, the XE, the F-Pace and the E-Pace. The I-Pace is no different. I really don't like the design of that rear. So, although it's raved here as the better car, out of these two, I would choose the iX3. In my opinion, it has a more cohesive and natural design overall.
When people learn it’s built in China and then sold at German built prices they might think again about it plus it’s only two wheeled drive which with the amount of torque their going to put through those front wheels will be dynamite to drive in frosty and snow conditions. This will of course will probably apply to most EVs running two wheel drive in winter conditions because of the way electric motors work,there’s no slipping the clutch to feed the power in slowly the wheels will spin at the first sign of frost and this could be a bit of a problem for drivers who aren’t used to such a sudden power surge. BMW said they would Never sell Chinese built vehicles in Europe they we’re only for the Chinese market,what a joke, it’s so they can undercut Jaguar and others by a couple of grand to get sales,I’ve had new BMs and liked them but I’m not paying German prices for a Chinese vehicle under any circumstances,I don’t care how good they are after what the Chinese inflicted on the world I will NOT buy anything from there knowingly,,,there’s no reason BMW cannot manufacture these vehicles in Germany other than build costs and screwing customers over.
David - the iX3 is rear wheel drive. Which might actually be more of a challenge in snow!
@@Electrifyingcom Your quite right,all that torque from an electric motor in the Wrong hands is going to be a problem for some drivers unless BMW have built in a system to reduce power in bad weather conditions because if they haven’t these vehicles will just spin round in circles in the wrong hands.
Unless you're a badge snob get the Ioniq 5 or EV 6, both make the Jag and BMW look dated. They're a lot cheaper have better specs and much better warranties, no brainer.
Indeed. And both Kia and Hyundai rank above both Jag and BMW for reliability. It’s all about EV know-how which the Koreans, Chinese and Tesla have above all other manufacturers. We’ve had a Kia e-Niro for 2 and half years now and 50,000km, it has been faultless. OK, it’s a smaller car at a lower price point than either of these but the build quality and interior are as good if not better than any VW or Toyota I have owned.
Try driving each and then compare. EV6 will be going some to match the i-pace in that department but let's see. Badge snobbery is hardly relevant for most
@@MrJtedds Leaving aside the fact that Jaguar struggle to sell over 100,000 cars a year meaning they may well not survive the EV revolution. Real world range test I have read show the i-Pace as struggling to get to 250 miles. Yes it’s a great looking car but the software is crap and an Ioniq 5 or EV6 with their charging speeds will leave an i-Pace at an Ionity charger for 3 times as long. The problem with Jaguar is that like Nissan with the Leaf they haven’t followed up, where’s the cheaper RWD only option? Where’s the infotainment upgrades to at least keep pace with their competition, let alone get anywhere near Tesla? And where the much needed BMS/power electronics improvement to improve the range? As a Brit I always hoped Jaguar would challenge the Germans but its never happened and is never likely to now.
Koreans are nice econoboxes with good specs but are like Corollas compared with Benzes or...well...Jaguars. Different leagues.
BMW - a Chinese built version of their ice vehicle - because the Chinese know about evs and are leaving everyone (apart from Tesla) behind; market disruption on its way in the next few years.
Indeed. The German brands will be suffering in every category. See recent review of Kia EV6 on Fully Charged, quality, performance and range up there with anything the German brands can offer.
I’m not so sure. People are naturally conservative & for most, Chinese = poor quality. What we will see will be Chinese built offerings from known brands & the buyers perhaps not even aware of it. Chinese brands making a big dent in the market? I doubt it. Depreciation will be the issue for Chinese brands.
@@hughmarcus1 - people don’t conceive their iPhones as poor quality and most will be aware of high-end BMW and Polestar offerings being Chinese built; the accusation was thrown at Japanese products years back but it didn’t stop them disrupting the market. As dealerships disappear and cars are bought online the legacy makers will suffer - Tesla have proved that. This will be the biggest market upheaval since we gave up horses.
@@Petelmrg You just confirmed what I said. People buying either a polestar or IX3 probably don’t think it’s made in China. Whereas some unknown brand?
@@hughmarcus1 - are you suggesting that people who spend £60,000+ on a vehicle are unaware where it was built when it it is made plainly clear in every published article and TH-cam review? Give them some credit.
EV6 will blow a lot of EV SUV out of the waters
Yes, and the GT version will come in at BMW/Jag money but with supercar performance. BMW are so off-track until they develop a dedicated EV platform. This is a massive problem for German industry as a whole which has been built on making excellent world beating engines...but who cares now? Nothing can beat the power/weight and torque of an electric motor. Based on the ID3, ID4, e-Tron and Mercedes offerings they are way behind Tesla, HMG and the Chinese at the electric game...which will be the only game in town by end decade.
Until Jaguar improve the quality of their cars I'll pass!
I’ll take the Cadillac Lyriq for $20,000 less PLEASE!!!
you’ll tell us when you’d be able to buy one…not even selling them in europe an ridiculous production numbers anyway
wait... Jaguar never had the crown, so BWM didnt steal it!
Didn’t have the crown? What with over 70 awards and the No 1 drivers EV until the Taycan came along at nearly twice the price!! Who you trying to kid 🤣😂
@@beaublue1625 im trying to kid nobody... The ipace is one of the last cars I would think about or even consider buying. Nobody is/was talking about it a few weeks after release. When it launched it already lost to the Model X, then a bit later the e-Tron came out, which is better, especially when it comes to charging, and even the freakin Kona (if we count this as SUV) is far more attractive than the jaguar. Now the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6wipes the floor with almost everyone else... Just my perception
@@mongini1 The Ipace is beautiful to drive and exceeds many Model S Tesla’s in performance. The interior and seats are a class above the Tesla S.
Both really ugly cars, the Jag looks like a child designed it.
The BMW looks dated and dull..
It's funny what people will put up with for a badge..
this car is a load of shit ionic 5 far superior and a lot cheaper
