(MAHWAH, N.J.) – October 27, 2020 – Today, Jaguar introduced the 2021 E-PACE compact SUV, which joins the growing lineup of Jaguar SUVs including the F-PACE and the all-electric I-PACE. The 2021 E-PACE is more assertive, connected and refined than ever, thanks to enhancements to its design, performance and in-vehicle technology. Available in three trim levels—P250, P250 SE and 300 Sport—the 2021 E-PACE builds on a winning formula that has introduced the Jaguar brand to younger and more diverse customers.
Inside and out, the 2021 E-PACE is restyled to draw attention to its design details, and to highlight its connection to other members of the Jaguar family.
“The new Jaguar E-PACE features a range of design enhancements which further underline its dynamic capabilities as well as delivering a more refined and comfortable cabin,” said Julian Thomson, Design Director, Jaguar. “Elements include beautiful, contemporary details and seamless integration of the latest convenience technologies across both the interior and exterior. The overall result is a more grown-up feel for the compact performance SUV.”
The exterior of the E-PACE features a revised front lower aperture design with a blade element running through it for a more assertive presence. The grille is finished with a mesh design with chrome detailing—influenced by the Jaguar heritage logo—and features Noble Chrome grille tips for a heightened sense of luxury. Its sculpted hood highlights its performance credentials, and its dramatic roofline and side window lines are inspired by the striking design of the F-TYPE sports car. The optional Black Exterior Pack delivers an even more dynamic appearance, with bespoke elements finished in Narvik Black—including the grille surround and tips, lower bumper mesh inserts, side vents, window surrounds and rear badging.
All-LED headlights give the E-PACE an even bolder appearance, day or night. The front lighting design features the signature “Double J-blade” daytime running lights. At the rear, the lower bumper features a mesh insert that sits between the integrated tailpipes. The all-LED taillights feature the Jaguar chicane graphic, showcasing the advanced technology and modernity of the overall design. Attention to detail is also evident on the side vents, which now feature the iconic Jaguar Leaper recognized the world over.
Inside, the cockpit of the 2021 E-PACE delivers heightened luxury, enhanced connectivity and greater refinement. The focal point of the interior design is the curved 11.4-inch HD touchscreen integrated into the central instrument panel. Chemically strengthened, the glass screen features two coatings: one that is anti-glare and a second that makes wiping away fingerprints easier. The large touchscreen, which operates the Pivi Pro7 infotainment system, exemplifies the seamless integration of technology that is central to Jaguar design DNA.
The driver-focused interior also provides easier access to the storage area behind the JaguarDrive Selector™ that houses the wireless device charger.16 The JaguarDrive Selector epitomizes the Jaguar brand approach to contemporary controls. The soft upper trim proudly features a “cricket-ball” stitch, inspired by iconic British craftsmanship. Below, the precision-engineered metal cradle is sculpted for added tactility and an engaging quality feel. Driver touchpoints around the cluster are now wrapped in soft-touch materials, while the knee side contact area is now sculpted. Optional cabin air ionization technology now features a filtration system capable of capturing ultrafine particles, including PM2.5 particulates.
The attention to detail extends to the metallic rotary dials and the steering wheel, which is influenced by the design in the all-electric I-PACE performance SUV, and features hidden-until-lit switches and metal gearshift paddles. An embossed Jaguar Leaper on the headrests and “Est. 1935 Jaguar Coventry” upholstery tags bring the rich Jaguar heritage to life in a contemporary way. Additional beautiful details include Jaguar animal pattern in the central cubby and in front of the JaguarDrive Selector.
The interior can be specified in Ebony, Light Oyster, Deep Garnet, Caraway and Cloud. The range-topping 300 Sport features a collection of the latest design enhancements. The 300 Sport has 20-inch five-spoke Diamond-turned with Satin Dark Grey accent wheels, Black Exterior Pack, illuminated metal Jaguar treadplates, Ebony Suedecloth headlining and grained leather sport seats are available in Ebony, Cloud and Deep Garnet.
“The new Jaguar E-PACE delivers an engaging and dynamic drive thanks to the latest driveline technologies and chassis settings, which ensure a controlled and comfortable ride,” said Mike Cross, Chief Engineer, Jaguar.
Significant updates to the chassis architecture of the 2021 E-PACE deliver enhanced dynamics, comfort and convenience. The Premium Transverse Architecture features new engine mounts, which contribute to an improvement in throttle response. The architecture also provides improved front suspension attachment point stiffness, delivering a more comfortable ride while retaining trademark Jaguar agility. The structure reduces vibration and harshness across the whole cabin, while also reducing cabin noise.
All E-PACE models have JaguarDrive Control featuring Comfort, Eco, Dynamic, and Adaptive Surface Response modes, which can be chosen manually by the driver based on the road conditions. The settings, selected through a toggle switch next to the JaguarDrive Selector, adapt the steering, transmission and throttle; Adaptive Damping calibration is optional.4

The Jaguar F-Type (X152) is a series of two-door, two-seater grand tourers manufactured by British car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover under their Jaguar Cars marque since 2013.JLR D6a platform is based on a shortened version of the XK"s platform.spiritual successor" to the famous E-Type.
The F-Type name was first used on a pair of completely unrelated concepts as far back as 1982, when Jaguar realised that the XJ-S had grown too large in size and weight to be classed as a proper successor to the E-Type. Then, two new projects, codenamed the XJ41 (coupé) and XJ42 (convertible) got to an advanced state of development. However, the project was cancelled when Ford Motor Company took over Jaguar in 1989, and the newly installed management determined that upgrading the company"s dated production facilities was a higher priority. The XJ-S was given a major facelift (being renamed the XJS) instead as a stop gap solution. The XJ41/XJ42 studies ultimately evolved into the Aston Martin DB7 and the Jaguar XK8 which were launched in 1994 and 1996 respectively.
The F-Type concept was a two-seat speedster with a 3.0-litre V6 engine from the S-Type saloon conceived to compete against light weight sports cars, such as the Porsche Boxster. Geoff Lawson, Jaguar"s Head of Design, had been working on the development of the car, leading a team of three designers namely Keith Helfet, Adam Hatton and Pasi Pennanen. His sudden death in 1999 led Ian Callum, the new Head of Design, to continue the project who would present the finalised concept car to the general public at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show to a positive response due to its retro styling which recalled Jaguar automobiles of the 1950s and 60s. At its introduction, the car was quoted to be available with a manual or automatic transmission and an optional all-wheel-drive system. Budget cuts by parent company Ford led Jaguar to pursue its efforts in Formula-One and by 2002, the F-Type project was cancelled due to its failure to meet production feasibility.
The concept car was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Jaguar stated that the C-X16 was their smallest car since the 1954 Jaguar XK120, at: 4,445 mm (175.0 in) length; 2,048 mm (80.6 in) width; 1,297 mm (51.1 in) height.
At the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016, Jaguar unveiled the F-Type SVR. Available in both coupé and convertible body styles along with having all-wheel-drive, it features the same 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine from the V8 S and R, but has a maximum power output of 575 PS (567 hp; 423 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3,500-5,000 rpm, the car can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.5 seconds and can attain a top speed of 322 km/h (200 mph), making it the first Jaguar road car since the XJ220 to reach 322 km/h (200 mph). The SVR convertible can attain a top speed of 312 km/h (194 mph).
The Jaguar F-Type SVR GT4 is a race car made for the 2018-19 British GT Championship. Invictus Games was created by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex as an international adaptive multi-sport event for wounded, injured or sick armed services personnel. In 2018 Invictus Racing was set up to offer those in the armed forces who had suffered, the opportunity to compete in the 2018-19 British GT Championship. To make this happen James Holder, co-founder of the clothing brand Superdry, the Invictus Games Foundation and Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations department collaborated to create a race team using two specially developed F-Types. The team was to be run by the very successful David Appleby Engineering.
The Jaguar F-Type P300 is the entry-level model having a 2.0 L turbocharged inline-4 engine rated at 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp). It accelerates to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 5.7 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
The Jaguar F-Type P450 shares the same 5.0 L supercharged V8 with the F-Type R, but detuned to 450 PS (331 kW; 444 hp). It accelerates to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 4.6 seconds and has a top speed of 284 km/h (176 mph).
The Jaguar F-Type R has a 5.0 L supercharged V8 rated at 575 PS (423 kW; 567 hp), 25 PS more than the outgoing model. It accelerates to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 3.5 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).
At launch, the entry-level model used Jaguar"s new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine, producing a maximum power output of 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp), enabling the car to accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h (0 to 60 mph) in 5.1 seconds, and attain a top speed of 259 km/h (161 mph). The F-Type V6 S has the same engine uprated at 380 PS (279 kW; 375 hp), allowing the car to attain a top speed of 275 km/h (171 mph), and achieve acceleration from 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 4.8 seconds. Next in the range is the V8 S with 495hp and then the F-Type R, with Jaguar"s 5.0-litre, 550 PS (405 kW; 542 hp) supercharged V8 petrol engine, allowing the car to attain a top speed of 299 km/h (186 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 4.0 seconds. Topping the range is the F-Type SVR, with the same engine as the F-Type R uprated at 575 PS (423 kW; 567 hp) enabling the car to attain a top speed of 322 km/h (200 mph) and accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h (60 mph) in 3.5 seconds.front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, or all-wheel drive which is standard on the F-Type SVR and P575, optional on the P380 and P450. The gearbox is an eight-speed automatic with paddle-shifters offering manual override. In 2015, a ZF six-speed manual became available as an option on the V6 models. There is a mechanical limited-slip differential on the V6 S and an electronic limited-slip differential on the V8.
The interior of the F-Type has a two-seater setup with the leather upholstery and control buttons finished in aluminium. There is a touchscreen display in the centre console and another TFT display between the dials in the instrument panel. There is also a choice of flat-bottom or Alcantara finish for the three-spoke steering wheel and buttons finished in soft-feel matte black.
As part of convertible launch celebration in the UK, Jaguar launched its #YourTurnBritain campaign; inviting people to share photos that encapsulate the best of modern Britain through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Tumblr. The best images submitted would win one of four unforgettable F-Type driving experiences. A fleet of Union Jack liveried F-Types embarked on a "Best of British" promotional tour as part of the car"s launch activity and Jaguar"s #YourTurnBritain social media campaign, with the help of ambassadors Jamie Campbell Bower, Alice Temperley, MistaJam, Graeme Swann and Jimmy Anderson. The tour started in London in August 2013 and visited Leeds and Newcastle (12th), Edinburgh and Glasgow (13th), Manchester and Liverpool (14th), Sheffield, Nottingham and Birmingham (15th) Cardiff, Bristol and Oxford (16th). Londoners were able to see the cars from 12 to 23 August as they took residence at Canary Wharf.
As part of F-Type coupé launch in the US, a 60-second TV commercial titled "Rendezvous" was premiered the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVIII.New York City Subway trains were wrapped with ads advertising the F-TYPE in preparation for the Super Bowl XLVIII.Super Bowl advertisement. The "British Villains" campaign (created by SPARK44, managed by Mindshare) captures the premise that Brits have long made the best villains in landmark films, combining intelligence with charm, restlessness with calm, and are always confident. Jaguar emphasised the idea that British were considered "bad" by Americans because of Hollywood movies always portraying villains to be British. Sir Ben Kingsley, Tom Hiddleston, and Mark Strong all support the villainous way of life as being good. Using these "villains" as the face of Jaguar helped support the edgy side of the luxury brand. This Super Bowl advertisement also challenged other luxury automotive markets in the US stating that Jaguar is just as edgy or maybe more than the other luxury automotive brands.Super Bowl XLVIII, "The Set-Up" commercial was premiered on 12 January 2014 and the YouTube premiere of "Rendezvous" on 28 January. "Rendezvous" was filmed by Hooper in London in a creative partnership with his Smuggler Films production house. The spot"s original score for "Rendezvous" was composed and conducted by Alexandre Desplat and recorded by The London Symphony Orchestra at the Abbey Road studios. Jaguar also hosted the campaign page, www.BritishVillains.com, with information about the F-Type Coupé, the commercial and some unique video content including teasers starring each of the three actors. In addition to broadcast, the multi-channel campaign"s Super Bowl efforts included unique outdoor creative throughout New York City, print, digital and consumer activations hosted with a wide array of media partners, and special events in the week leading up to the Super Bowl. The British Villains campaign continues with regularly updated content through July 2014.
As part of Jaguar F-Type Coupé launch in China, David Beckham joined Jaguar as a brand ambassador. The print creative material used in this campaign was produced by fashion photographer and filmmaker Peter Lindbergh.
Red Jaguar F-Type R Coupé has been featured in South Korean drama My Lovely Girl as car of main character portrayed by Korean singer/actor Rain. Drama was aired in South Korea on SBS from 17 September to 6 November 2014 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes (Jaguar F-type was featured from episode 3).
The Jaguar F-Type 400 Sport, a special-edition model that would remain on sale for just one year, was launched as part of a raft of revisions to the British sports car.
The Project 7 is based on the F-Type Convertible, and is powered by a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, generating a maximum power output of 575 PS (423 kW). The engine is shared with the F-Type SVR. Only up to 250 units were made and the car is considered to be Jaguar"s most powerful production car ever, alongside the F-Type SVR. The body shell of the car is made from aluminium, reminiscing the historical D-Type LeMans winner.
Michael Harvey (1 August 2014). "Gallery: the long road to the Jaguar F-Type". Top Gear. Retrieved 15 April 2019. ... Ian Callum on the 2000 F-Type Concept: "This car was well underway when I arrived at Jaguar. Although I unveiled the car at the Detroit show, I take no credit for it. The work was almost completed by Geoff Lawson before his death, and by Keith Helfet and Adam Hatton. This was an exciting and promising proposal yet again to establish a Jag two-seater – the name clearly signaled its intention. But although it caught the imagination of many, including Ford boss Jacques Nasser and design boss J Mays, who both loved the car, the design was fundamentally flawed. It worried me at the unveiling, because I knew that by the time it had gone through all its legal and feasibility requirements it could look quite ordinary. We continued with the design to make it feasible, but the required windscreen height and legal bonnet height took so much away from the exciting proportions. At this point I instigated the idea of a mid engine car, the X600, which developed to a significant level of design and engineering before it was dropped so the company could pay for some new diesel engines. From a business point of view, the right thing to do, but it broke my heart. This X600 was a beautiful little car. Very similar to a Boxster in size and layout with a mid engine and very sophisticated rear suspension. Nobody outside of Jaguar has ever seen it. Sorry! ..."

The more important claim that we’re here to address is that it’s currently the best electric vehicle on the planet, as you can tell from that Jaguar has held nothing back in creating this car and will be doing the same in putting it to the test.
The more important claim that we’re here to address is that it’s currently the best electric vehicle on the planet, as you can tell from that Jaguar has held nothing back in creating this car and will be doing the same in putting it to the test.
The idea of an all-electric Jaguar might be strange, but even stranger is the fact that this British brand was quicker than all its wealthier established German rivals in bringing a car like this to market.
Billions have been poured into this first British designed mass-produced electric model to try and ensure that, but more importantly, Jaguars brought to this class of car things that Tesla doesn’t have. brand heritage, a history of exemplary drive dynamics and an understanding of the type of interior environment that older wealthier customers look for.
Well, the fact that unlike Tesla, Jaguar provides you with a handbrake switch and a start button immediately makes the Ipace feel more car-like. as does the fact that the car creeps forward of its own volition when you press D, though you can turn this feature off.
As a result, unless you’re particularly ham-fisted with the throttle in which case 60 miles an hour is dispatched with almost alarming speed, in just 4.8 seconds on the way to 124 miles an hour. Forward motion feels effortless and very Jaguar-like.
You feel this immediately through the quick and accurate steering which has real substance to it, particularly if you switch the jaguar driving mode system from comfort to dynamic.
Tipping the scales at over 2.2 tons this Jaguar is a heavy car but doesn’t feel it, primarily because such a large proportion of its weight is situated low down. There’s also a very good torque vectoring system that works as an integral part of the powertrain to transfer exactly the right amount of torque to the tire that needs it most.
Realizing the inevitability of this the rival Audi E-Tron and Mercedes EQC electric models come with air suspension as standard. Jaguar chooses to make this feature optional pairing it up with another option and adaptive dynamics and configurable dynamics package that can alternatively be paired to the ordinary coil springs if you like the feel of that better.
That figure assumes the permanent engagement of the provided eco-driving mode, which restricts the energy drain of the air conditioner. And things like these seat heating and more proactively it’s based on maximum use of this Jaguars brake regeneration system which uses the front motor to reclaim energy when cruising or under braking.
Keep that in maximum setting and Jaguar reckons you can dispense with up to 98% of actual brake use. it sounds weird but we’ll soon feel absolutely the normal once you’ve acclimatized to the way the system works.
Thanks to borrowed Land Rover technology though, this Jaguar can do more. its drive setup which incorporates the Discovery’s low traction launch system allows it to send precisely the right amount of torque to precisely the right wheel at precisely the right time.
All you need to do is keep your feet off the pedals and leave the car to do its thing, and that’s just the start. With air suspension fitted and positioned at maximum height, which will give this car ground clearance of 230 millimeters this Jaguar will be able to Ford water up to 500 millimeters deep.
But of course, the likelihood of that happening is about as high as the chances of you coming across the kind of 100-kilowatt public charger that Jaguar says would replenish this car’s battery to 80% of capacity in less than the time it takes for you to do your shopping.
It isn’t only the powertrain of this Ipace that changes everything you know about Jaguar. The styling too is a radical departure from the brand’s established values as you’d expect it would be.
After all, given that there’s simply no need here to make space for a whole chunk of metal in the nose there’s also no need for the kind of long bonnet short boot proportions that until now, have characterized virtually every successful Jaguar model in history.
It’s also a shape that’s dimensionally difficult to get your head around, you expect an SUV with this kind of luxury and this kind of price tag to be BMW x5 or Porsche Cayenne sized. Well, this one isn’t yes kind of is, it’s roadway footprint is 50 millimeters shorter than that of a Jaguar F-Pace in the next class down.
The signature Jaguar grille that’s flanked by piercing LED headlamps at the front is certainly supposed to suggest that, though its purpose is purely aesthetic. The three independent cooling systems for the electric motors, the battery, and the interior do not need this aperture, so it doesn’t admit any air.
Having to deliver nominal four-wheel drive in keeping with the SUV remit, but just as importantly allowed Jaguars designers to put the wheels exactly where they wanted. Apparently, with only one motor and a single driven axle, the rear wheels would have had to have been further forward in the body to make the car drive normally.
In many ways, this is the best Jaguar cabin ever crafted. Sure, there are little areas where it could be improved but Trump’s what’s on offer from Tesla in almost every conceivable way in terms of quality, design and material excellence.
You might be less enthused if your point of comparison is say an Audi E-Tron or a Mercedes EQC but even then there’s much to be said for the more interesting and slightly less clinical way that Jaguars designers have gone about their work.
The cabin finishings have also been chosen with that in mind, not for Jaguar the kind of newfangled materials that mark out say a BMW i car, it’s an eye pace you can even have gentlemen’s club-style wood veneer. though the standard mix of aluminum leather and piano black Dacor better suits this model’s new technology vibe.
The touch pro duo twin display center console layouts are now increasingly familiar across modern JLR products. The 10-inch upper screen is for all the infotainment functions navigation, music, telephone stuff and so on plus the apple car play Android auto smartphone mirroring compatibility that JLR has, at last, got around to building into one of its products.
It’s a slick twelve point three-inch TFT digital display that lets you decide exactly what information you want to be displayed in front of you, and in what configuration.
But both are failings that Jaguar appears to be well aware of, hence the brand’s standardization of all-round parking sensors, an automatic parking system, and a rear-view camera. That’s been further embellished with a surround-view camera setup.
The EV style cab-forward design ought to pay real dividends for backseat occupants, as should the lengthy wheelbase, which at two thousand nine hundred and ninety millimeters is thirty millimeters longer than that of a Jaguar XF.
As with the rival Mercedes and Audi models we mentioned earlier, Jaguar has chosen not to try and emulate the other major contender in this segment the Tesla Model X by offering an optional third seating row at the back, which could be significant for some family buyers.
Yes cargo spaces, there are two of them. We’ll start with the one upfront. Jaguar designers haven’t wasted the extra room created by the lack of an engine upfront.
When wearing it you can lock the key in the car removing the anxiety of losing it and when you return from rock climbing, canoeing, biking or whatever, all you do is hold the wristband next to the letter J on the tailgate Jaguar badge and it opens the tailgate so you can access the ordinary key fob where it’ll have been safely stowed away.
You also get Jaguar drive control with its different drive modes plus for slippery surfaces a low traction launch system and the brand’s useful all surface progress control package. A kind of low-speed cruise control for when you’re crawling along off-road.
Plus of course, there are all the screens, the interactive driver’s display, twelve-point three inches TFT configurable instrument cluster, and the upper and lower center console monitors of the touch Pro duo setup.
Also for your smartphone, there’s Bluetooth connectivity, and for the very first time on a Jaguar Land Rover model access to apple car play and android auto smartphone mirroring.
As well as an app to allow you to set charging times on your smartphone, all Ipace variants additionally get Jaguars’ full suite of in-control apps. A car optimized interactive set of apps that enable media streaming, cloud and location-based services, and more via the provided USB port.
Plus there’s a parking service so that as you approach your destination you can see where parking is available, simply tap on your preferred car park and the navigation system will update itself then take you directly there. It’s all very clever as is the way that owners of Alexa enabled devices will be able to use them to ask for information on this Jaguar’s current status.
It works through the various modes of that Jaguar Drive control system we mentioned earlier and enables you to tailor damping settings as well as your throttle and steering preferences via a configurable dynamics section of the center dash screen.
To get what Jaguar calls active air suspension on an Ipace, you’ve to find another 1,100 pounds plus more, if as is always certain you want to pair it with that adaptive dynamics and configurable dynamics package.
When wearing it you can lock the key in the car, removing the anxiety of losing it. And when you return from rock climbing, canoeing, biking, or whatever all you do is hold the wristband near to the letter J on the tailgates Jaguar badge and it opens the tailgate so you can access the ordinary keyfob where it’ll have been safely stowed away. The activation key doesn’t have a battery so it will never run out of power.
Inside the head-up display that projects key information up into your line of sight would be good to have. You might also want to specify privacy glass, a cabin air ionization system, a lockable cooled glove box and four-zone climate control with separate functions for the rear part of the cabin.
You can add sports pedal covers and illuminated metal tread plates with Jaguar script in the door apertures, and the roof lining can be upgraded with an ebony morzine headliner.
Jaguar hasn’t bothered with offering a driver’s knee bag, but twin front side and curtain airbags are inevitably standard. Plus there’s a unique in-class pedestrian airbag which springs out from beneath the windscreen edge of the deployable hood, in the event of an impact protecting pedestrians or cyclists from contact with the glass.
And on that subject, because the electric powertrain of the Ipace is almost silent at low speeds, and could, therefore, be a danger to urban pedestrians and the visually impaired. Jaguar has equipped the car with an external sound system that emits an external acoustic signal at under 12 miles an hour to help make those on the pavement aware of the car’s presence as it approaches.
Also, all Ipace models get a lane keep assist system that will alert dozy drivers if they’re veering out of their lanes on the highway, and traffic sign recognition which pictures key road signs as you pass them displaying these on the dash.
It’s the closest you can get in this Jaguar to any form of autonomous driving, on the S and SE model Ipace variants the drive assist pack is optional.
Current technology, after all, means that replenishing a battery with such a high energy capacity, 90 kilowatt-hours, isn’t for the faint-hearted. Jaguar rather irritatingly headlines the almost irrelevant fact that a 100-kilowatt charger will give this car an 80 percent charge in 40 minutes.
You have to admire that US makers foresight, here it new Jaguar howdy Mercedes and BMW would come along and create better EV’s, but it also knew they wouldn’t be prepared to invest in the charging infrastructure, that in the short term, would be needed to make their cars easily usable over long distances.
Use the mode 3 shaped charging cable with that 7-kilowatt garage wall box and 32 amp socket, and this Jaguars battery can be charged at a rate of 22 miles of range per hour, this means that the car will need 12 nine hours to replenish itself from a state of empty charge.
Possibly we’re painting an unnecessarily bleak picture here, obviously, it’s very unlikely that a typical Ipace owner will be running this model as an only car. And we’re perfectly aware that the average person’s daily round-trip commute is about a tenth of the operating range of this Jaguar.
We’re perfectly prepared to believe that two hundred and forty miles would be possible between charges in this Jaguar, but the point is, that to achieve that you’d have to be driving the car in the kind of fashion that would never really allow you to enjoy it.
There’s an eco-driving mode you can activate, press the center stack button, that brings up a driving style rating the screen on the infotainment display. The eco setting adapts the climate control and tweaks features like the heated seats, the heated windscreen, and the heated steering wheel into settings that reduce battery drain.
When you take your foot off the accelerator the electric motors work in Reverse, becoming generators of electricity to recharge the battery. Jaguar says that on a hilly road with regeneration set to the max, it’s possible to gain as much as 70% of the energy used going uphill through regenerative braking on the way down.
As usual with EV’s, Jaguar provides an app so that you can set charging times on your phone to take advantage of low-cost electricity rates. We should also mention the integrated heat pump which harvests heat from both the outside air and the car’s electrical components.
You’re limited to the usual unremarkable 3 Year Jaguar warranty though to be fair it does cover you for up to 100,000 miles, which is better than Audi’s 3-year 60,000-mile deal.
Maintenance is more straightforward than it would be for a combustion engine model. An electric vehicle does, after all, have 20% fewer moving parts, so it’s disappointing to find that service intervals are much the same as they would be for ordinary petrol or diesel Jaguars, set at 21,000 miles or every 24 months whichever comes first.
You should find that the garage visits are cheaper though, there being less for the technicians to do. As usual, it had probably been sensible to consider one of the Jaguar service plans that cover you for virtually everything in advance.
Direct rivals struggle to match that kind of showing and Tesla products are way off. As a result, an Ipace should be very cost-effective to lease for a company or private drivers, whether you choose Jaguar’s scheme or one of the many others on offer.
It’s the first retailer to show off JLR’s new ‘global Arch’ design – and the word ‘retailer’ is a key one, as this is like no old-fashioned dealership. I was met on the forecourt and directed inside where everyone knew my name, and then I was shown upstairs to a smart coffee bar. On one side, there were around 25 Jaguars, and on the other, 20-odd Land Rovers, arranged like clothes rails in a Knightsbridge department store. The site cost £12m, has ‘Drive In’ service bays (where you drive your car in and a like-for-like courtesy vehicle is waiting for you) and a roof with space for over 100 cars. It’s like no other dealership I’ve ever been to.
As I was talked round the car and the keys were handed over, I had a sense that running this Jaguar is not going to be a ‘normal’ experience. It’s going to be a special one.
