2019 JAGUAR I-PACE REVIEW - NOT BETTER THAN A TESLA?

EV Channels Review

The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace HSE is lauded for its exhilarating performance, with reviewers highlighting its rapid acceleration and impressive handling, particularly through corners, attributing it to its dual-motor AWD system and adaptive surface response. The ride quality is praised for its smoothness, thanks to the air suspension, and the unique, futuristic interior sound design is a notable positive. However, the vehicle is not without its criticisms. Both reviewers experienced discomfort getting in and out due to thick door panels. The infotainment system suffers from significant lag, detracting from the otherwise premium feel. Furthermore, the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support is a major drawback for a vehicle in this segment and price bracket. While the official range is 377 km, real-world results are yet to be determined in a dedicated test. Despite its high starting price of $89,800 CAD, the I-Pace is considered a compelling, fun-to-drive electric option, though its charging speed and infotainment lag are areas for improvement.
