JAGUAR IPACE 10,000 MILE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

After 10,000 miles, the Jaguar iPace proves to be a capable and enjoyable electric SUV, though not without its quirks. The reviewer highlights its "phenomenal" performance, with a dual-wave acceleration that feels potent, and praises its excellent off-road capability and superior comfort compared to a Tesla Model S, particularly on rough roads. The Meridian sound system and configurable TFT display are also strong positives, offering a more engaging user experience than some Tesla models. However, the base model, priced at £65,000, is criticized for lacking expected features like heated/electric seats and a power liftgate. The infotainment system's volume control sensitivity and outdated software are noted as annoyances, as is the boot design which can allow rain to drip inside. Efficiency is slightly lower than a Model 3, costing about £1.20 more per 100 miles. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer concludes that the iPace is a "driver's car" that feels more robust and car-like than its Tesla competitors, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, choice.
