Our Jaguar i Pace video test

Driving

Visit This Jaguar accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, thiswhich is better than most Electric SUVbutless well that Tesla Models.

This SUV has all the current assistance systems, only better, For example, the regulator itself analyses the forward field to determine whether it is possible to accelerate and maintain the speed desired by the driver. For a little more fun, several driving modes are available, including one called 'dynamic', which uses speakers to create a false combustion engine sound when accelerating.

Essai Jaguar i-pace

This What's important to bear in mind is that this Jaguar consumes a lot of fuel on the motorway, up to 38 kWh at 130 km/h.

Both motors offer efficiencies of up to 97 % when transferring energy from the battery to the motor. A combustion engine, on the other hand, generally offers an efficiency of only 30 to 40 % when producing power from fossil fuels. They have been developed by Jaguar engineers using the knowledge and experience gained from the I-TYPE, the Formula E single-seater.

The interior

The design of the i-Pace is both true to the spirit of Jaguar and to the i-Pace concept. The wide grille is turned inwards to reduce drag by channelling air towards the bonnet and outwards, where it flows over a curved roofline for maximum efficiency.

This Jaguar is first and foremost a 5-seater. But make no mistake, despite the leather seats and all those USB sockets at the back, as well as storage for an iPad, the person in the middle won't have a very pleasant journey.

The 100 % touch-sensitive on-board console comes with Land Rover inspiration. Special mention for the Recaro seats : the driving position is perfect.

The small negative point is the layout of the screens are too low and force us to take our eyes off the road. It has no gear lever or handbrake.

There are plenty of USB connectors throughout, and plenty of storage space. The seats have memory foam and are heated. The steering wheel can be heated too, but this is optional.
