The I-Pace is the first electric SUV from a premium European automaker. In its first year, the I-Pace became one of the most highly decorated production cars ever, winning 62[3] international awards. In March 2019, the I-Pace won the European Car of the Year award, the first Jaguar to win in the 50-year history of the award.[4] In April 2019, the I-Pace became the 2019 World Car of the Year, and by also winning Best Design and Best Green Car awards, it became the first car to ever sweep three of the six categories.[5]

Development
The production car is 12 mm narrower and 12 mm lower than the Concept (pictured).

The Jaguar I-Pace was designed by Ian Callum.[6] The concept version of the car, described as a five-seater sports car, was unveiled by JLR at the 2016 Los Angeles Motor Show and shown on-road in London in March 2017.[7][8]

The I-Pace is built by contract manufacturer Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria,[9][10] and the production version of the I-Pace was revealed in Graz on 1 March 2018.[11]

Some of the electric drive technology has come out of the Jaguar I-Type electric Formula E racing car programme,[12] and the concentric motors were developed by JLR engineer Dr. Alex Michaelides.[13]

Specifications
  • Side
  • Rear
  • Interior

The Jaguar I-Pace launched with a WLTP-rated range of 292 miles (470 km)[14] and an EPA-rated range of 234 miles (377 km). In December 2019, software enhancements were released to increase range to an EPA-rated range of 246 miles (396 km).[15][16] The car has a wade depth of 500 mm (20 in).[17] The rear boot holds 656 litres (23 cu ft),[18] along with 28 litres (1 cu ft) of front boot space. The drag coefficient is 0.29.[6]

The car has all-wheel drive via two motors powered by a 90 kWh LG Chem[6] lithium-ion battery comprising 40% of the car's cost, and the battery management system is developed by JLR.[13] Each motor delivers 197 hp (147 kW) and 258 lb⋅ft (350 N⋅m) of torque, for a total power of 395 hp (295 kW) and total torque of 516 lb⋅ft (700 N⋅m).[6] The car is able to sprint from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 4.8 seconds,[14] and to an electronically limited top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h).[19]

The battery contains 432 pouch cells.[20] It can charge from 0 to 80 percent in 85 minutes using 50 kW DC charging, or 45 minutes using a 100 kW charger. Home charging with an AC wall box (7 kW) achieves the same state of charge in 10 hours.[19] As the I-Pace has a single-phase AC charger, it is slow to charge outside fast charge areas; with a one-hour charge, 7 kW charging adds around 30 km (19 miles) of range.[21]

The car comes with a smartphone app which can locate the car, report on its locking, alarming, and charging status, and start its battery preconditioning and/or cabin heating/cooling. The app cannot switch on the windscreen or rear window heaters.[22]

Industry and media awards

Ostensibly the most highly decorated production car (of any powertrain type) in modern history, the Jaguar I-Pace, in its first year received 62 international awards from automotive industry groups and media publishers in the areas of automotive design, handling/performance, technological innovation, powertrain design, environmental consideration, and passenger safety, with more than a dozen international "Car/SUV of the Year" selections including Germany, United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and ultimately 2019 European Car of the Year, as well as 2019 World Car of the Year Award (also capturing Best Design and Best Green Car, an unprecedented treble).[23][24][5][25]
