2019 Jaguar I-Pace Full Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2018
- No throaty growl. No long hood. The all-electric I-Pace is a shocking departure from Jaguar. Could it be the best vehicle the brand has ever made? Tom Voelk travels to Portugal to drive it on road, off road, and on the Algarve Portimaõ Circuit (and never once worries about range).
Jaguar provided running footage, travel, and accommodations for this story.

About Tom:
Tom Voelk is an award-winning automotive contributor to The New York Times. His podcast was the first to win an Emmy Award. He also married way out of his league. Now, stop reading this promotional copy bragging about Tom's photography and editing skills and watch a couple episodes. It's much more interesting.

Love that there isn't a giant iPad on the dash and there are still knobs/controls. I'd buy this Jag!
What a great review! By far the best American reviewer. No shouty stuff with crappy loud music. Simple, well produced and facts orientated. Good job!
I gotta say, incredible editing. This video feels polished. Combine that with the charisma Tom has and this is a total joy to watch.
Best review yet! You talk about the things people want to know, such as drivetrain durability and interior quality, most reviewers babble on about infotainment wayy too long. Thank you :)
Best I pace review mate !
Quite possibly your best review Tom!! And what a car....
very true!
Solid, solid impartial review. Succinct but really informative. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber man!👍🏽
The best i-Pace review I have seen so far. Great JOB!
Only e.v I'd consider purchasing. Jaguar panache with e.v. dynamics. Thanks for the review Tom
Best Reviewer , 0 cringe 0 corniness
It looks very nice. Contrary to most car enthusiasts I enjoy the sound from electric cars (mostly tires and wind), feels like star wars instead of last century clunky locomotive.
i like the fake noise, sounds like a computer game :P
So, like a horse-drawn carriage instead of a car, right?

One of the best reviews I've ever watched. Well done my friend! The car is amazing BTW
Thanks for the review, Tom. I very much enjoyed your earlier reviews on the NYT website so was pleased to find this.
This was a really great video on what seems to be an extraordinary car. Thank you for that.
Great great review, Tom. I loved your detailed description of the track experience- relating it back to how it translates to real-world driving. Well done.
Great editing around the track
Michael Silbert The running footage on this one was especially good. Nice overhead drone work early, and those tracking shots at 8:06, 11:40, and 12:20...
That NATURAL acceleration sound at 5:55 sounds WAY better than that fake mess at 3:33
That's why there's a choice
I have been watch I Pace reviews and this is definitely the best most expressive and informative review of all.
Great review as usual. The best on RUclips. It’s great to see the car being the main focus and not the host.
That was an incredible review, you went direct to the point in a good quality presentation.
Cracking video, mate. Really professional stuff. Oh and what a lovely Jag!
Great review VERY HELPFUL, thank you.
This is the best quality review of this Jag, excellent job!!! What an amazing vehicle!!! :)
This car makes for a very pleasing aesthetic experience and it has the tech to match that as well - including the 'froot', as you said.😊
The production of these videos are phenomenal. Professor expert levels of explanation in a short time. Thank you very much.
I had the opportunity to view one and they are very nice inside. I wasn't able to drive it yet. They don't seem poorly built. Everything seemed high quality. Everything I messed around with had a solid feel to it. I was amazed that the A/C was Ice cold. I want one.
Brilliantly done buddy! You cover everything very well.. all the best🌸🌱
Thanks Tom, no nonsense review of what looks like a great car
Beautiful car, and a great review. I am now subscribing on your channel. Big up from Norway.
Awesome review
Excellent Review Thank you 👍🏻👏🏻✅
I'm not an SUV guy but I love the looks of this machine!
What a great review and new Jag!!
shopwithaaron sr
This beats the Tesla in my book. They kept Jaguar's focus on interior quality, where Tesla is pretty spartan, and the screen is just weird.
Great review
Great review.
Go Jaguar
Excellent review, love this EV.
Tom does great reviews.
Well done, Tom!
Perfect review
Those 22inch wheels! What a car...I was at the event too and what a day!
No rear wiper, Honda did the same with the 2006 Euro Civic. They said the design would keep it clear,it doesn't work in town and slow traffic
Excellent, thanks
I want this cat so badlyyy. Great video :)
Beautiful jaguar I pace
Possibly the best looking car out there, bar none.
Great review Tom, the camera views are perfect; doesn't it's shape reminds you of the first gen Acura Integra, that rear quarter brings me back memories of it; btw "cab forward design" something I haven't heard since the prodigious LH's Cars from the 90s Chrysler design era; great Jaguar!!!
You know, I understand what you mean about the Acura.
LOL. 3/4 view kept making me think Acura Integra. I am glad I am not the only one.
canonlybeme4life I'm glad you did Too!!!
Um, cab forward is the Model 3, best example. The headroom of a huge sedan but the cabin is dead-center of the wheels. Old term, finally done accurately by Tesla. Jaguar is trying to adopt Tesla's attributes and design as their own (like "instant torque"). I get it, they need to sell the vehicle they's invested so much in.
EV Owner Hope they do well Too, this is a pretty car
Tom...Excellent Review!!!! This is just the type of sneak attack performance that will make many lead foot drivers move into an EV.
Awesome review. You can now see why these cars have a support race in Formula e!
Tom, good job as always. Did you feel the heat through that panoramic roof? Thinking of its practicality in the hot climate where I live (Trinidad & Tobago).
I did not feel it and it was warm and sunny both days I drove it.
Great video as always! Love the look of this but I don't like electric cars and I'm poor so I won't be buying one anytime soon haha
Impressive review. Any idea why the door handles were out off-road at the end?
not bad and it looks 150 times better the the model x
Really? Interior is a lot better. Exterior not that much
Wow. The Jag seems better than I thought
Thanks for visiting my country, Tom. Please come again soon 🙂
Lovely place from what I saw but have to admit, I was paying much more attention to the car. Did get in a 10K run in Lagos though. Very cool.
Good review! Note that the 12.5 hours "home charge" time is based on using a 32 AMP 7.4 kW type-2 plug. Charging this on a regular 10A 240v plug would take up to 38 hours for a full charge. In the US you could double this for 110v using the same AMP.
Awesome car! Jaguar is doing cool things.
Great video! When will I-Pace be available in the USA? (And Canada?)
You can book it now, will start delivery starting September 2018 in USA
I feel in love with this car. But can't afford it. Best review, straight to the point, all aspect covered. I think this is the best EV car by design, quirks and features and performance. That's why this sold quick as hotcake.
Will they sell these in Canada, because it snows here. You need a rear wiper!
Congrats Tata!
I can't wait to see an all electric Land Rover or Range Rover
There is the Bollinger B1 but its body design is not aerodynamic and the battery pack is too low capacity. They are a small company limited by access to recourses and expertise. But the concept of a Torquey Electric Rover is soo badass.
By 2025 they will be. China has already made it law. All new cars will have to be electric by then. Several car companies have already stated that since their biggest customer is demanding full electric vehicles then they will invest in BEVs 100%. Someone had to do it. The Chinese did it.
Thank you for this excellent review, nice car and only the start of the electric tech in many ways. Imagine a 3 gen of this or a 5th! Amazing things to come from this. Next generation battery tech when it arrives will make most vehicles electric as for a huge number of people EV is perfect. I'd love to be driving an I-Pace lol.
This car interests me more than any other electric car being made.
Sorry Elan.
Oh and PS: Great Review (as always).
Tom, another great review. This car looks to be much better than the model X and probably more reliable than the X.
Reliability based on what? If you looking for Jaguar's historical reliability performance, I have dozens of jokes I can tell you. Let's let them make a few and see the warranty before we make any judgments. Benchmark: Model X and Model S warranty is 8 years, unlimited miles.
8 year 100k on the battery 3 year unlimited miles on the car .. Tesla in the uk 8 year unlimited on the battery and 4 years on the car. I think Jaguar are being completely fair and realistic , where I think tesla are being a little naive backing the battery with a warranty like that. Good for the customer , not so much for the company. The i-pace has already had 1.5 million test miles done and will be in customers hands at the start of the summer.
Beautiful photography at 11:33!
Holy cow. Awesome. "You can really feel that torque", obviously a scripted line but at least they model the heck out of the thing. Bravo.
A truly impressive Jaguar vehicle in a very long time.
Definitely better than Model X in terms of practicality and sportiness.. And the best part I like about the I-Pace is that sweet whine of the electric motors is awesome! Anyway great review as always, Tom! Thanks!
Why does Jaguar keep comparing the i-Pace to a Model X? They're not the same vehicle! The closest thing Tesla makes is the Model S, compare that.
LOVE IT
Great to see a great EV from jag
This is A much better review than that Pillock at CarWow
Great review! Comprehensive and thoughtful. Good looking car and nice performance spec's - just a pity about the lack of boot (trunk) space. Jag's engineers seem to have made the very same mistake here as they did with the F Type sports car (miserable boot with no space for golf clubs). Huge error considering the target audience for both cars!!! Hopefully, slower than forecast sales for the F-Type will focus Jag's management team on a solution and a larger boot will be included in the Gen II car.
This puts the Model X to shame and for less money. It should have a range of at least 300 miles. I think all high-end electrics should meet that threshold, but otherwise an excellent debut from Jaguar. And excellent review Tom, as always!
As I commented in your Porsche Mission E Taycan video, you really should play the lottery! First the Mission E, then the I-Pace in Portugal. What fun it must have been, with Mr. Medeiros coaching you! Was the family jealous?
While my wife would love to see Portugal she could care less about cars. These events are very car centric, so no, not so envious.
Best Car, Beat Review..!
My dream car
bravo
The two bottles of wine is a nod to 007 who always kept a chilled bottle of Moet Chandon in the Jag.
I think this car is the replacement for the F-Pace, in due course, say over the next 10 years. Jaguar, like all major manufactures, know that BEVs are the future.
Interior is a huge improvement over recent Jags. Maybe this level of detail will trickle down to the lower models
As always Tom, thanks for a great review.....did he say 200? ....KMH right? Wow either way.
What a hit this will be....now, get the price down or maybe I’ll wait two years and buy it off lease!
Ah, yes, was going to put a graphic in stating these were Euro spec vehicle in Ks.
The centre console fits a 1Dx which is important :D
But in reality this is not a competitor for the X. More like for the model 3 as it is really small.
The X and the S both fit a 6'6 driver but the I-Pace is pretty small.
On. The. Wishlist.
6:05 sounds like a normal working of fan 😅better than Tesla in terms of practicality ,use ability and interior
Tom - were you at the Formula 1 track in 🇵🇹 Portugal?
What was the max speed?
Just wondering, how much battery capacity was used on the track laps? Did those 3-4 laps completely drain the battery? I really like the iPace, I'm just not sure about that rear end. Anyway, I'm sure Jaguar will do very well with it!
Honestly, I don't know. I was too busy setting up GoPros and mics under a tight deadline. I know that the cars were running all afternoon so they went at least 30-40 laps.
I imagine they had tremendous range loss doing high-speed acceleration runs on a track; any car does.
Very good review. It's a shame Jaguar haven't put in any charging infrastructure or joined with Tesla to share charging. Budah of Birmingham
GOOD one
Happy they have proper cooling on the batteries unlike the Nissan Leaf which has none. Not an EV fan but totally understand why someone would get this. Very cool
Pretty car
I just wish Toyota or Honda would make a long range electric vehicle with awesome reliability
Electric vehicles, with a lack of engine and transmission, are inherently more reliable than ICE vehicle.
Remember the 2014 Rav4 EV with Tesla batteries? It's just not profitable for them. Last April 2018, Jack Hollis, VP of Toyota North America, basically said "the market doesn't justify the expense." Even the Rav4 hybrid has sold only 2,600 units since 2015, while the regular Rav4 sells about 400,000 units annually in the U.S.
Bryce the cost does not justifies the efficiency.
You just named the car companies whose future is in doubt. They waited too long doing only what they know (read: GM, Ford, Kodak, Blockbuster, etc.) and now they are way behind the inevitable switch to EVs. I'd sell your stock of those two companies...
In 2017, total EV & PHEV sales of all brands in the U.S. were 200,000 units, with Tesla accounting for 50,000 of those sales. While 50,000 nearly rivals Porsche's total sales, Toyota sold 2.1 million cars (over 109,000 are Prius); Honda sold 1.5 million cars (less 3000 hybrids), so their future is just fine. I would agree that GM & FCA's future is in doubt, since they were bailed out before.
Hi Tom, great review, thank you. I have one on order and looking forward to delivery. Quick question - You mention that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, however, it was my understanding that JLR have yet to integrate these features across their product lines. Are you able to confirm this position especially on the I-Pace? Thanks Andy
The cars we drove did not have it. We were told by JLR staff that both would be added to the system by the time cars were delivered in the US. If you're basing a buying decision on this, by all means make sure before driving off the lot.
Thx, decision is not based on CarPlay or Android Auto, it would be a nice to have. The I-Pace is fabulous as tested, again thx for the great review!
Feel free to post your experience once you get the car Andy. Always nice to get an owner's experience on a new model like this.
Looks like a nice car. And Portugal is a fun country. But no Costco (one outside of Paris)
I love the interior dashboard and screen fitting, and the exterior is slick😍; this car will really screw Tesla! Only thing I think this car needs is larger screen, and the ability to use the screen like a smart phone or additional mobile computer!
This review was fun to watch. Seeing Tesla progress from S-X-3 and the looming Y, Jaguar skipped straight to CUV which was a smart move. We shall see how it fares againt Y. We already know Tesla will try to finish Autopilot for it, so that could be one major advantage. Still, the iPace is a sick car you can have right now. I want one, thanks to this video.
There should be a sound option to make it sound like the Jetson's spaceship.
12:20 - psst: those "extra laps" were planned from the very start. Its made in that way, so you will feel special. ;)
Nonetheless, I hope Jaguar will overcome the battery availability issue, I really do, I'd like to see more of their cars like this one.
Ya think? Really, it's a way to move the story along and to show what the car can do. And I agree, I would like to see Jag getting as many out as possible. Hoping to see them in the wild soon.
So wish there was a $40k option for this car!!! (great review by the way...)
There is - it's called a Model 3.
not... even... close...
Really? So tell me the Jaguar model that will sell for $40,000. It would be smaller in size (like the Model 3), have fewer luxury features (like the Model 3) and have a different warranty (like the Model 3).
