@2:30 Just a wee reminder - battery size is kilowatt-hours, not kilowatts.
Kilowatts is how fast the tap runs; kilowatt hours is how big the bathtub is.
Thanks for the heads-up
Anytime - it's the sort of minor slip that can get the EV fanatics to start frothing at the mouth.
Another analogy, kilowatts is horsepower, kilowatt-hours is gallons.
It doesn't only compete against Tesla but it also goes against the German luxury SUV's. A BMW X series with this much acceleration would cost over $80,000. Although it would still beat the Jag in it's top speed.
I've always loved the way jags looked but this one might be the longest running jaguars without repairs ever made lol
If I had $80k I’d get the Jag. But I don’t so I’ll just watch your vids. 😁
Colorado Biking how much are the dealerships going to upcharge the price to get a profit though
Model X warranty does not become void if you drive it off-road. The vehicle is advertised as having this capability. Please read the owners manual before providing incorrect information to your viewers.
To do off-road (Elon do not recommend it, then probably Tesla X (or the Y) would need something like this :ruclips.net/video/HB-3m6mrkP4/видео.html
Meanwhile everyone in the comments section of the model X off road video claims that it *does* void the warranty.
@@poplaurentiu4148 he dose not recommend it because it can puncture the battery.
Go re-read the manual published at date of post
Been subscribed to u guys since 2014. Always check ur vids before me and my fam get a car. Love u guys. Stay healthy ❤️
Those are some serious ultra-low profile off-road tires
But i'm sure some mixed all-terrain BF Goodrich could be fitted for more off-road grip when the owner want to go fishing, kayak, beach or in winter up in the mountains for ski.. ;0)
Or else some serious climbing for a vehicle on ultra-low profile road tyres.
You can option 17s which give it more sidewall than a standard pickup
Greetings from Portugal!
Hope you have enjoyed the trip
Looks incredible. That is a head turner for sure!
Nice review
I'm reminded when Bjorn tried to off road his Model X. Not only things broke, but Tesla bent him over backwards to fix it.
Nice job Jaguar.
Well, he drove in the worst possible way and fell through ice.
Test drove Jaguar today and I was impressed. Beautiful dashboard and interior. Apple Carplay. It has a
soul, unlike Tesla. But no sunroof, no spare tire, no runflat tire.
I hated Tesla 3's aggressive regenerative braking (felt like I slammed on the brakes), plain dashboard, and
poor ergonomics screen.
Both EVs have great acceleration but ride comfort was much stiffer (hard) compared to luxury sedan
combustion engines from Mercedes and Lexus.
That blue on the I-Pace is stunning!
The i-Pace is a superb looking car. However I can drive from my house in Manchester to my parents in Portugal seamlessly in my Model S because of the 120 kW Supercharger network. It's not really any slower than doing it in a petrol car. Until they get a 100 kW + powered CCS charging network in place which is expansive as the Tesla one you're going to have to accept some compromise, believe me waiting 2+ hours for completely flat car to charge of a 50 kW is an inconvenience.
The rear end reminds me a bit of the first generation Acura Integra...but yeah I like it.
There are a lot of comments about Jaguar reliability. Keep up people! Jaguar have sorted their issues out a long time ago. They do very well in customer surveys like JD Power etc. often beating the German manufacturers.
I was not a Jaguar fan until they launched the XF, I’m currently on my second one and love it. A very reliable car.
As much as people deride Jaguar for the time they were owned by Ford, the reliability improved greatly. Have had 0 issues with my 2007 X-Type other than wear and tear items and annual servicing.
Great review of a cool new car! Please tell me there will be a much smaller wheel option. Those 22s would not last 6 months driving across the craters we have here in Pennsylvania
A brit trying to say aluminum is not right. He should stick with aluminium as it is correct
Great video guys. And an actual convincing Scottish accent!
nice vid guys. hope you liked Portugal
Is that full glass roof standard and with no sliding cover??
Kudos to the guy who said application instead of app!!
I like the F Type, but I'm a family man with kids, so for practical reasons, I'll take the I-Pace (which I think it's prettier than Tesla Model X)
Jorge Tamacas ... Now you are gonna get unwanted attention on road
Just FYI, the i-Pace is WAY smaller than Model X and has totally different proportions. I understand that the two are compared due to all-electric-ness, but size wise, this is like comparing a Subaru XV Crosstrek with an Audi Q7. Also, there are a lot of reasons, but I'd go for the Tesla for the sake of the Supercharger network alone. I want to be able to travel anywhere in my SUV. Excited to see the i-Pace hit the streets though!
J C Mmmm, you have a point on that. I want a good range of charge too. Thanks for the opinion
Wait for the Tesla model Y, enough time until it comes out to save up money for it and it has the Tesla supercharger network behind it
Jorge Tamacas .. Jaguar gives you a 5 year or 60,000 miles of warranty and going offroad and wading don't void it's warrenty .Tesl has a half baked Autopilot and wading will void it's warrenty plus it has panel gaps so Jaguar is a better option.
Not sure if this is blowing smoke up Jaguar's arse, you really dislike Tesla, or you're just clickbaiting (probably some of each), but let's check some of those facts. I'll use the Model S 75D because it's closest in price to the i-Pace, and therefore a more "fair" comparison than the P100D.
* Top speed: 124MPH - Model S and X have a top speed of 155MPH, even the Model 3 has a top speed of 140MPH
* 0-60 in 4.5sec - Base Model S 75D does 0-60 in 4.2 sec. (In fairness, that is quicker than the base Model X at 4.9sec, but you keep comparing it to the Model S, not the X)
* 394HP/512LbFt torque - 75D is 518HP, 485LbFt.
* 1000A output, 450A regen: These numbers are meaningless w/o knowing the voltage of the battery. (These things are properly measured in kWh.) But the HP/torque numbers-and corresponding 0-60 time-are lower than the base 75D, so the kWh output will be higher on the Tesla unless the Jag is hugely inefficient. (Why even quote these numbers?)
* AWD: of course, all Model S and Model X are AWD, too.
* 40 minute to get 80% charge: Same as Tesla, except where are you actually going to find a DC fast charger to plug into, at least in the US? Tesla's Supercharger network is the only reliable fast charging network around.
The fair points:
* It will go on the track. (But with a top speed of 124MPH? Seriously?!? Note that the Model 3 does better on the track than the S & X, and almost certainly will do better than the i-Pace, too.)
* It's "approved" for off-road. Lots of Tesla owners have taken their vehicles on dirt roads, I haven't heard one instance of warranty coverage being denied. But it *IS* still listed as a deal-breaker in Tesla's warranty, which is lame.
* Rear controls for climate.
Pretty much everything else is a matter of personal preference.
The specs on the i-Pace are closest to the non-performance AWD Model 3 (which will be about $10K less, but is a completely different type of vehicle).
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great entry in the EV space, and people looking at a base Model X will probably seriously look at the i-Pace, too. (More importantly, people looking at other ICE mid-side luxury SUVs should look at this!)
I just hope you can turn off the insipid fake engine noise.
M Scott , thank you for taking the time to make this comment. Solid.
M scott.. ok man i just want to reply to you (not hate or anything) just hear me a bit : do any Tesla have a pre-heated battery pack ? those are also sealed water-proof ? why? will you ask me but this is very important specially for European climate because the pre-heated battery feature help the car in winter under cold freezing temperatures, some people from Norway, Sweeden, Finland owners of Tesla posted clips on RUclips with S and X models stuck to wait for the tow truck on the side of the roads in heavy cold winters because the battery pack is not pre-heated or heated in any way at all during the cold winter period, so the battery would drained (empty faster) to try focus to use all the energy for the propulsion, not to mention the struggle for other heat options like defrosted windscreen, heat blowers in the cabin and also for the electronics in the car.. and because the battery pack is not sealed properly since many different Tesla models start to be seen more often to Co-Parts junkyards because battery pack is not sealed properly water flooded inside the battery pack get a short cut which affect the entire electric system in the car and that will cost allot to be replaced. Tesla won't do it usually in such cases the owners calls they detect the issue release documentation and delete the car from up-date program that means the car can be scrapped destroyed or by the opportunist junkers used it to sell under auctions for parts (if Tesla would try to fix it.. they would charge you expensive amount money see on youtube - 'rich rebuilds channel' because on such cases it need to be replace entire electric circuits and all affected electrical components systems + a new battery pack).. so anyway is also pretty annoying each time when you want to do something quick in Tesla you must look at the stupid big screen to search in the many different options adjustments to find certain settings, that should be no problem in the i-pace since it have 3 smaller screens very easy to be read and some simple to use controls common placed for natural and simplistic use, overall i-pace is more balanced is not small like Tesla 3, it is not lower like S and can do a bit off-road but is not as big expensive as some X models.. is kinda in the middle, incorporate many cool stuff in a decent size vehicle.. regarding charging points you right but remember that for Tesla 3 you do not have free supercharging so, anyway in US Tesla obviously rules but across Europe i think this i-pace is worth to be considered since many auto brands started from last year (after the diesel-gate scandal) joined forces in partnership to conceive a form to support building charging points stations for EV vehicles with a certain support from all-EU governments of the countries of Europe that means each country is required by EU committee to help build strategical placed in all key points for each country a certain amount of charging stations depending how big each country is also depending of relief and the available infrastructure, in such way so that allow EV cars owners to travel from West to East of Europe without any worry that can not find charging stations.. (now i will tell you that i live in Croatia and i think it was in 2009-2010 a man from Holland (i think it was a doctor ..) did get a Tesla Roadster first model and i think he was on holiday or something but it actually did that kind of journey with his Tesla Roadster, he went from Holland -Germany-Austria-Slovenia-Croatia-Montenegro-Serbia-Bulgaria-Turkey and then to Cyprus island and back i know since he returned back and i met him on both ways he stopped a day in Croatia), but remember back then Tesla didn't have to many superchargers across all Europe just few on West but so he did it..) hey man, look this is my opinion if you happen to be an Tesla owner in USA be happy with your car.. here in Europe to put now an deposit and order for a Tesla 3 can take more than 1,5 years if not more to actually get the car and with no financial support from govern for any Tesla products is really hard to reach to them here in Europe, a Jaguar i-Pace in basic version cost in my country 65.000 euro but with govern support for clean green vehicles, if you also destroy an old car for example you get a discount voucher that is a cut off from the overall price, also get a start bonus insurance for registering a new clean vehicle and other bonuses deductions the i-Pace price dropped to 46,500 euro and wait no more than 2 months to get the car.. (and that is a price and a time delivery i can actually live with) so now i hope you see with different eyes based on these arguments, why for different parts of this world this new electric vehicle can be better than Tesla. ;0)
Well, you bring up points that mostly weren't addressed in this review, which was what I was responding to. But I'm happy to address your points, too.
Yes, Teslas have battery heaters, and from the videos I've seen, the i-Pace works pretty much the same way as Teslas have for at least the last 6 months. (Thanks to a software update last winter.) When you pre-condition the cabin (i.e., turning on the heat from the app), it will also warm the battery if it's very cold. It won't, however, warm the battery if the car is not plugged in and the battery is below a certain SOC (20% maybe?). After all, it doesn't do you a lot of good to burn the rest of your battery heating it. I have seen nothing that suggests Jaguar has done a better job at managing battery temperature than Tesla does. (And there is even a dedicated battery pre-heat feature on the P100D but that's for getting the most power out of the battery for launching, not for cold-weather.)
I don't know exactly how well sealed Tesla's batteries are, but they certainly aren't "unsealed." There are some pretty impressive videos of Teslas driving through deep water, just search "tesla driving through water" on RUclips. I honestly don't know how the two compare.
Regarding the touch screen, I think that's a matter of personal taste. I think Tesla has done a great job of making the stuff you need while driving readily available. But it can be annoying to use a touch screen while driving on a bumpy road, so I get that physical buttons might be preferred by some.
As for charging infrastructure, non-Tesla charging stations are clearly being built in Europe much faster than they are in the US, so that will make less of a difference to potential EV purchasers in Europe than it will in the US. But one of the biggest areas of push-back from people not already used to an EV is the charging time and ease of locating charging while traveling long distances. Early adopters (like your Roaster owner example) will deal with the extra hassle because it's part of being a trailblazer. But the mass market certainly won't. The USA is also a lot larger that Europe geographically, and has very large, rural areas with limited infrastructure that won't see significant public charging for the better part of a decade. (A town with only one gas station is not likely to see a fast charging station anytime soon. But unlike in Europe, small towns in the US west are often 40+ miles apart, with nothing but farmland in between. )
I agree that the i-Pace is a very different vehicle than any that Tesla currently offers. I was calling out the reviewers for their Tesla comparisons, which were questionable at best. I'm not dis'ing the i-Pace at all (other than the fake engine sounds ;-). I think it's a promising new EV that fits in between the Model 3 and Model S/X. I'm sure Jaguar will sell all they can make. I am not trying to say that the i-Pace is a bad EV, or even that Teslas are better. It was the premise of this review that was trying to make some dubious points so they could put "Tesla" in the title and get a lot more clicks. But it's pretty obvious that Jaguar has a great vehicle here, and I'm very pleased for that. Personally, I'd still buy a Tesla because I live in the US and that charging network matters, and I love the clutter (button)-free interior. The price difference between the i-Pace and Model S 75D is not going to be a significant factor for people who can afford these cars, so I think these cars' features will drive their purchasing decisions. I hope that lots of people pick the i-Pace, it seems like worthy vehicle. (I also hope Porsche sells a ton of Taycans, another very promising new EV.)
i was responded to you since you did pointed some strong facts and because i 'm in the interest to purchase such vehicle in near future but i'm not in urgent need since now is the re-birth of EV sector many other brands started to show new ideas, new concepts and for instance i also seen the latest i.D. concepts from Volkswagen since they learn a harsh lesson and want to re-gain the brand image after massive diesel-gate scandal.. anyway interest on such cars is still rising so i think this sector will grow quick in 1-2 year top.. so i will check them out prospecting the best convenient deal to replace my wife car.. so i just stated what facts i hear about so far and i hope to see better stuff, attractive offers and more diverse products, you know the market is big, so the offer should fit each budget.. i guess we will find out latter what model will really worth by the volumes of the sells too.. ;0)
The artificial engine noise only defaults to 'on' in Dynamic mode, and can be switched off even in Dynamic mode.
Supposedly the 200kmh/124mph top speed is electronically limited, down from 250kmh/155mph, due to the drop in range at high velocities. Personally, I seldom go on roads with a limit higher than 124mph - on British roads, if you are caught at 100mph or faster, you instantly lose your driving licence. Where the speed limits are higher, range is teh probem. The big-battery Model X uses 390 Watts/mi at an average of 48mph. I do not know how much higher the consumption is above 1204mph - but it will be a lot.
About chargers, a couple of months ago, there were no CCS public chargers in the USA above 75kW (although over 1,100 locations had 50kW CCS rapid chargers).
Today, there are a dozen 350kW chargers, and another dozen 150kW chargers, live in the US. The number is small now, but the roll-out has begun, and will accelerate. And, it's worth noting, that all of these chargers are faster than the fastest-available Superchargers. And Superchargers themselves only produce their peak speed if you get two stalls all to yourself.
Very nice car. How is the Jaguar super charger network in the USA going?
I can not wait to see you take it on Gold Mine Hill!!!
It will be a great car. All they need to do is set up a nation wide charging infrastructure.
I wonder, do they use the engine and battery heat for air heating as well?
What happens when these cars with full ceiling sunroof flip over in an accident? Will the glass shatter?
How come only Roman on the euro trips ? Rather see Andre and Nathan myself !
Roman if it gets around the track faster than the F-type would you still prefer the ice car? I bet you would.
That red F-Type though!! What a car.
9:10 the hardest part of driving fast is not changing gears but, by far, steering, braking (especially with no abs) and acceleration.
Can you cover up the panoramic sunroof? Because I live in Florida and that would get really hot after a while.
Michael Miller you can just not option it. There should be an aftermarket cover if the model s any indication.
Damnit craig from autoguide
Great review. Why do I feel this looks better built than any other Jag before it ?
I'm not a fan of the panoramic roof but geez, does this thing look good to my eyes. I would have one in a heartbeat just to be done with all the typical maintenance crap with both our other vehicles.
These are really fantastic cars, and it's electric! win, win jaguar
abbaby555 ...electric vehicles are COAL BURNING VEHICLES... please do the research. If you’re goal is to save the planet in style...not that it’s necessary... this vehicle won’t do it. Have a good day.
Melon Rain Every study so far says that even charging with electricity from 100% coal has a better life cycle outcome.
But electricity networks get greener by the day, so go figure. Can gasoline get greener by the day?
Diego Matter ...catalytic converters, O2 sensors, detergent gasoline....so yeah. Oh wait there’s vvt , variables displacement, twin turbo set ups. Get the picture? Electric vehicles are the answer to nothing but an individuals own eccentric self. Have a nice day.
Ok Melon Brain. have a nice life
Melon Rain The electrical grid here in these parts are fed by a hydroelectric Dam, not coal. This is the case with many areas around the world, not to mention the wind turbines here and all over the world, so how is it that you are labeling all electric cars as 'coal burners'? Clearly you are the one not doing your research. Hate electric vehicles if you want but try not to make a complete twit out if yourself.
Does it come with a spare tire?
so when is it going up Gold Mine Hill?
does it run on lightning?
Simly great 😉👍
How is the autopilot in this thing?
Simply one of the best cars they have ever reviewed maybe so.
very cool
How much is the preference for the F-type over the i-Pace about familiarity with traditional sports coupes? I'd be curious. I've noticed that a lot of reviewers seem to have an almost nostalgic preference for "old school" autos, i.e. traditionally gasoline powered v8 sounding engines and the like. Wonder if that means newer cars like EVs and turbo 4s get a bit unfairly maligned.
So the underfloor battery compartment is water proof? Who knew :-/
alliejr ...good point, We all know that water and electricity don't mix.
i also read on official Jaguar site that on cold winters (low temperature) the i-Pace battery pack is pre-heated before the car actually can be operated, that is very good news a Tesla do not have that (not even as optional feature) as i watched many owners from Norway who brought S and X and complained this because they got stuck because the battery worked harder and drained quicker in freezing cold temperatures, this feature also keep the life of battery pack longer than without it.. so all such small facts counts when it's time to change the normal vehicle to swap it to an full EV..
Yes, the Jag battery pack survives temps of -40F/-40C, and can be charged in temperatures as low as -32C. It also will use mains power to bring the pack up to operating temperature.
l wouldn't take the risk, that much power being around water is not a good idea even if the entire pack is forged from silicone.
ah portugal... i was wondering were you were driving. i saw a dutch license plate but that scenery cannot be the netherlands. just to dry and red/yellow
Welcome to Portugal :-D
How well do these batteries do in hotter climates? Like 34 degrees Celsius?
The I-Pace has active thermal management for the battery. So it should do just fine.
As mentioned, the I-Pace has active thermal management for the batteries. Jaguar also tested the I-Pace extensively in most climates.
I don't recall you guys talking about any of the electronics like autopilot or anything like that does it have autopilot?
Cadillac has the best "autopilot" out there... But I'm still waiting until the technology gets better before getting one.
It has adaptive cruise, lane-sensing, and lane-keeping assist with self-steer. I think they call the package "In Control Drive" or somesuch.
You don't buy a Jaguar and not drive it yourself! I can understand buyers of ordinary cars wanting the feature, though.
Looks good. Should do well.
So, what, audi probably sell 40k of the r7 or r8. It just looks like a nice evening that when you order it you will get it as compared to Tesla. And I like the tesla.
Rick James ... Waymo has already booked 20,000 jaguar I pace . So they are likely to surpass the Tesla limit since Jaguar doesn't face demand and supply dilemma like Tesla.
less expensive and has real off road capability, nice
ah, Dirt Road, Water Forging capable then, you are brighter than me, I'll send you a medal if I can...
I think there are ups and downs vs Tesla. Ups I would give it build & interior quality but downs would be charging infrastructure & Autopilot.
We hear a lot about them AutoPilot :D Crash and Burn babeeee !!
For some reason i can not post the link in here but i will say this if off-road is needed Delta wheels can help they did an promotional clip here on youtube called:
"Tesla X fitted with mudd-terrain tires and Delta -rims" i think it would help in case of this i-Pace Jaguar too.. ;0)
And it doesn't void the warranty. That's a strong buying point
I have an xj and man it's stylish and fun to drive..
Best looking all-electric vehicle in the world
Would be interesting to have a airline pilot or fighter pilot compare the I-Pace's acceleration feel with their "daily driver" aircraft... 🤔🤔🤔
Roman, how tall are you? I am 6' 4", and I am curious about that back-seat headroom and legroom. On paper, the back-seat legroom of the I-Pace is bafflingly disappointing to me, at only 35". This is less than the stated rear legroom of the Tesla Model 3 (35.2") and Range Rover Evoque (36.4"), and way less than the Honda CR-V (40.4"). With Jaguar's talk about having been able to move the passenger cabin forward, and the rear wheels back, I expected a bit more space in the back. You *looked* like you had a fair amount of space, but without knowing how tall you are, it's hard to figure out what that means to me.
I pinged TFLCar.com and Mike replied that Roman is about 6' 2", so at 6' 4", the back seat of the I-Pace would probably be somewhat of a tight fit for me, if someone similarly tall was in front - both in legroom and headroom. Still, it's probably do-able.
The passenger looked worried on the road xD
If I had a choice I would buy the ipace. not bc it's cheaper, it just look more luxurious and has more capabilities.
eatadickorsomeum I'd buy it because it looks normal, inside and out. I like the whole idea of electric vehicles but I absolutely hate the dashboard in all the Teslas. Yup, I'm simple. I just don't see the point of having a giant screen to have to dick around with to do even the simplest things. Going into the menu to open the glove box? What a clusterfuck!
And it doesn't look like someone threw it together in their garage ;-)
@@scottfurlong5475Have you driven it yet, or are you assuming stuff without actually experiencing it? I am surprised you have a cell phone since it doesn't look "traditional"...Smh.
@tflcar my sonata top speed is 150 and it's the 2.4l
What is this song in the background?
No comments made about the computer side... One of the most important components of vehicles of the (not too distant) future will be their capacity to adapt to changes in autonomous driving. These things are more like computers on wheels than motor vehicles. Redundancy in computer tech is rapid. Will Jag have systems that can keep abreast of computer tech advances?
0:18
2 lower pins on Type 2 connector were left blank.
So there is no 3 phase charging.
Because who needs 22kW onboard charger.
But does it come in black?
Perhaps more luxurious than a Tesla, but that's me.
In spanish that pronunciation will be Yaguar. Jaguar in México will sound something like Xaguar. :) Again...another good video-adventure. I really like it
I really like it
2:28 how did you get 240 mile range? It’s 480km which is 298 Miles
That’s the EPA test cycle. It I different from the European cycle.
Ive been following all RUclips videos regarding the Ipace these days (obviously as I ordered one) but nothing news comes on other than the “Portugal” reviews showing more or less the same material. A little too late for my opinion, but as I’m hyper for news i can deal with this..
Good looking car. I like it.
What brand leather jacket is he wearing ?
I hate those massive moon/sunroofs..... 1 T-Rex attack and your screwed!!! But seriously in the event of a roll over that glass will break and whatever debris /rocks/ obstacles will come right into the vehicle. I'd prefer to have a good steel roof.
That is an optional feature and is not glass is a clear polycarbonate-reinforced-plastic something used in aviation purposes because it's light material and much more tough than glass..
Cool , make a proper sports car version next!
Front and back end look fantastic but overall shape is just too weird
That road was ten times better than the gravel road I drive every day at home and I do it in a Toyota Echo. Still a nice car but not off road by any means, maybe off bitumen is ok. I would like to see it driven hard around the track until flat to see how it handles the rapid discharge.
asks the little guy where he keeps the pot of gold............
The front trunk?
Under his belly... help yourself! Lmfao
he he , it is a Leprechaun :D compared to the tall dude he looks like a Leprechaun and an accent to boot :D
Just technicality dude, it is really a bad leprechaun joke ( a dig on his stature, then again the American is probably a Giant),, accent , no accent, British Irish,etc, still to the untrained ear like me it does not matter, I just found humor on all things. but if you want to be make things serious that is your prerogative..........
Great car and fantastic interior. I understand why people are comparing this to the Tesla but all points are moot. The average consumer is still waiting for 350 kWh public chargers and 400 miles of range for 30000 euro.
The average consumer doesn't have $80 000 to spend on a car or the money to keep one of these running in 5 years time when second hand ones will be affordable. One of the reasons Tesla owners haven't class action law suited the company is because most of their customers already own more than one car, so it's no big deal when it dies.
Great review, looking forward to seeing them on the road...BUT your hand position on the steering wheel is painful to watch. 9 & 3!!
Nice car, I heard Benz, I heard Tesla or Nissan, and the plugin-hybrid of Toyota such as Prius plugin-hybrid or Honda's Clarity. But never think about Jaguar would have one all-electric, and could go all-place
Jaguar showed a concept all electric car years using a motor for each wheel (Which is a much better way to do things than the brake assisted 'torque vectoring' available in just about all cars with electronic stability control) before Tesla even existed. At the time Jaguar's reliability and cost of ownership was so bad it makes current Teslas look good though. Jaguar seem to have got somewhat better since Ford explained what quality control meant while they owned them. Still astronomical money for what looks like very little interior space compared to my Skoda estate.
90 kWh battery not 90 kW!
kWh = kilo-What's from those who don't understand EV's . :)
Peter L kWh is a measure of energy like the capacity of a fuel tank. kW is power just like hp.
*kW is power not kWh
batdowg my mistake. Didn't see that h there. Thanks for pointing that out.
Guys... It was humor; not meant to be taken seriously.
I've been saying for years that electric is the future of off-roading. Instant torque so you don't need low range. Dual motors so you don't need a transfer case. Quiet operation is another bonus when off-road. I guess the next move is for their cousin Land Rover to adopt some or most of the drivetrain. This could be the first reliable Jaguar and later the first reliable Land Rover. Who'd have thunk it!
Considering that the F-Pace and E-Pace share some of Land Rover's offroading technology, I'm sure there's bound to be an all-electric Land Rover in the pipeline.
My XKRs and current F-Type have been reliable - you're living in the past if you think Jags aren't reliable. But hey, miss out on great cars if you want to.
Only downside of electric is if you run out of charge in the middle of nowhere it's not as easy as having a jerrycan of fuel in the back, but then again I've driven my FWD car on trails similar to a lot of the off road course they were using in the video without problems, so I'll need to see a proper test (Once they ditch the ridiculous 22's and put proper tyres on) before it qualifies as anything more than a jacked up car. With no air intake apart from for the passenger vents, I wonder what the fording depth on it is.
I like it! Back in the 80's I had a couple of Jaguars. Electric cars are coming. I thought the Tesla sounded nice but the horror stories you hear about how people are treated after the warrant was up is reason enough to not own one.
Now the only thing jaguar has left to do is set up charging stations, just like Tesla Superchargers. I love the car so much, can’t wait to see it in person.
Dont know how good it is yet but it's definitely stunning. Easily beat Tesla in terms of styling. And it looks like a car. The interior still has some of the traditional elements like nobs, and so on.
I get impatient at the gas pump when it takes a few minutes to go from empty to full...
Ok.. I'll ask the million dollar question.. is it reliable in the long run🤔🤔🤔🤔
I'm saying no. But ev-tech is improving and I only have gripes on the interior electronics. I guess, you should just stick onto Toyota/Lexus Hybrid vehicles until Toyota makes an all electric suv or crossover.
No which is why most will be leased out the door. Smashing gorgeous vehicle none the less.
"Is reliable in the long run?" It has to be better than the likes of Teslas...Model S owners with mileage past 75K were having 80% of those vehicles having had entire powertrains replaced, at least once...some multiple times. So far those were done within warranty limits. Somewhere in a warehouse in Tesla-land, there are thousands of motors & powertrains.....maybe they were "rebuilt", & carted off to the factory...& put into "new" ones...ya' never know?
John LeGresley I agree
Well, are internal combustion engined-cars (ICEs) reliable in the long run?
These cars have fewer moving parts, less of the car needs routine servicing.
Things like the suspension and the driveshaft gaiters will be just like an ICE - but the drivetrain will need radically less routine servicing - e.g. no more needing a new cambelt every 5 years. Basically engine and gearbox issues have gone, and motor, control electronics and battery pack is likely to be more reliable than an engine, gearbox and its control electronics.
It doesn’t compete with the model X because:
-no Supercharging network
-no updates to the infotainment
-no updates to the car itself (good luck with recalls)
-it’s not a seven seater (model Y will have a more similar size)
-it doesn’t feature autopilot (currently not great, but UPDATES)
-Jaguar makes the ipace for money, not the world
-Jaguar just copies Tesla, resulting in them being a few YEARS behind
-Jaguar has to buy batteries from Panasonic at massive markups, resulting in higher prices
-Do you really want fake engine noises and a massive grill?
-The car really isn’t very efficient (the model 3 with a 75KWH battery can go farther, at a lower price.
Oh, and how do you buy the ipace? You go to a crappy little dealer that profits on making the car more expensive for you to buy.
In addition to this, they wouldn’t want to sell the ipace because it also profits on overpriced repairs. So, there are 2 possibilities: the first is that you can buy the ipace BECAUSE it is terribly un reliable, or you CAN’T buy it because it is too reliable.
I’ll stick with a model Y.
what is model Y - may i ask you.. ?! (do not judge me, i'm from Europe and i didn't know or hear anything about what "model Y" might be..)
Yeah, their next vehicle, right before they start selling space ships. Listen mate. You can't stick to something that doesn't exist. You can wait for it though.
Model Y is a cheaper version of the X, as the 3 is the cheaper version of the S.
It will be revealed in March.
thanks guys.. (well.. uhm.. i did a short check on they official site, i was curious to see that Y model, but they do not say anything about that and do not have any concept.. yet maybe it will appear a picture or a draw sketch latter) but anyway did Elon publicly announced it, or something how do you guys know about it already ?
- CCS network instead. (~ 8,000 chargers worldwide, including 350kW, 175kW and 150kW per car)
- Yes, it has OTA updates.
- Like the Teslas, it has adaptive cruise, lane sensing, and lane-keeping assist with self-steer, with sensing by cameras and radar.
- Jaguar is using their own money to build it, not other people's money. Tesla plans to be making money later this year. (It had hoped to be making money already, but the Model 3 production didn't allow that, so they are down about $5billion US currently)
- If Jag just copied Tesla, they'd be using different batteries, different motors, and we wouldn;t have lots of people saying "You can't compare it to an S/X/3 - it's too different!"
- The Teslas don't have officially certified WLTP ranges yet, and the i-Pace doesn't have an officially-certified EPA range yet. It's hard to compare the efficiencies atm.
- some people have already bought their i-Pace.
- I expect the Model Y won't make it to US customers before 2021, and to European markets in RHD before 2024. Some people might be on their third i-Pace by then.
I dont like Tesla's cause they are way to sparce inside. I like this cause its more traditional yet futuristic. Definitely my cup of tea. I wish they would do a proper electric sports car.
I'm sure that's coming. They just started with a body type that would gain the most traction in the market.
It sounds exactly like a jet on the track.
Everyone just hold on for the Porsche mission E but this is better then the model 3
Kudos TATA!
How lucky you are to come to Portugal to test a Jaguar! Crossing the Atlantic just to test it :-) Jaguar is making a good marketing on uncle sam’s land! Eheh I wish I could do the same test that you guys did..
That dig about Tesla's warranty being void if you go offroad was incorrect. The only way to think that is to misread the actual warranty document.
Did you know also that it's doesn't makes sense for a electric car to be in this condition, where there is no charging stations?
I know electric cars are fast on the track but i can’t get used to the fact of not hearing an engine fast or slow especially on a track it’s just sad
I would consider the I-Pace over something like a Defender or a Discovery for off-roading, but not over a Tesla for daily driving.
If this iPace can do off-road like it shows with 20'' inch rims with summer / street tires i imagine a 17-18'' inch rim with All Terrain muddy grapplers BF-Goodrich will help do so much better off-road with this electric SUV ! And damn considering Tesla will void warranty of the vehicle if are driven off-road this iPace Jag could be a real stealing bargain.. ;0)
The iPace is a direct competitor with the not yet shipping midrange model Y. So, your choices are to wait for a model Y or buy an iPace today.
If you want a Minivan/large SUV type car the X is a vastly better choice, if you want a full-sized sedan the S is a better choice. If you want a sports car, the 3 is a much better choice. If you want a small luxury crossover the iPace the only shipping option. And it seems like a reasonable enough option. It will be interesting to see how the model Y compares against it.
Not going to life, I am somewhat impressed with this car. I would just be concerned with Jaguar's track record with reliability.

It's also more beautiful and luxurious.
Model X is a 7 passenger vehicle. So is the Model S with the third row jump seat. It compares with NEITHER. Why are they mentioned?
