2020 AUDI E-TRON VS JAGUAR I-PACE / TEVADRIVE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer compares the 2020 Audi e-tron and the Jaguar I-Pace, ultimately choosing the e-tron as their long-term vehicle. While the I-Pace excels in performance and range (approximately 400km vs. the e-tron's 350km), and is faster with a more unique design, the e-tron is favored for its practicality, larger size, higher driving position, and perceived reliability. The reviewer highlights the e-tron's greater trunk space and the availability of a tow package in Canada, which the I-Pace lacks. Interiorly, both feature a similar three-screen setup. The e-tron's air suspension offers adjustable ride height, and it supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via cable. The reviewer notes the e-tron's consumption can be in the low 20s kWh/100km in warmer weather, but tends to be higher in dynamic mode. Key reasons for choosing the e-tron include its size, driving position, and importantly, the availability of leasing options for the 2020 models when Jaguar had discontinued it. The reviewer also mentions the e-tron's accurate range estimation and preference for a heated steering wheel over full auto-steer.
