JAGUAR I-PACE - AT LAST... AN EV YOU SHOULD BUY! FULL ROAD TEST AND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Jaguar I-Pace is presented as a highly desirable electric SUV, earning praise for its stunning exterior design, which the reviewer considers one of Jaguar's best. Performance is a key highlight, with instant torque and rapid acceleration (0-60mph in 4.5 seconds) making it a genuinely engaging "driver's car" despite the lack of engine noise. The regenerative braking system is noted for its effectiveness, allowing for one-pedal driving in many situations. The interior is lauded as a "masterpiece" with high-quality materials and a modern, albeit tech-heavy, dashboard featuring multiple screens. Practicality is also strong, offering significant boot space and a front trunk. However, the reviewer expresses lingering "range anxiety" and the need for careful journey planning, particularly for longer trips, which might necessitate a different vehicle. The suspension is described as soft, leading to a "floaty" feel at times. The SE trim is detailed, with options like the panoramic roof and larger wheels adding significantly to the price, which starts at £58,500 (including government grant) and can reach nearly £77,000.
