- Two years after the launch of the Jaguar I-Pace, Bryan is here to discuss how it compares to the latest in EV offerings.
Big thanks again to Jaguar for lending us the I-Pace featured in the video.

I’d take the iPace over the e-Tron and Merc EQC any day. This car is a triumph.
Agreed Eric. It is our choice of the 3 luxury SUV EVs in that market place. Mercedes would be second, Audi third.
instaBlaster.
Drove the etron last week and the ipace today. The ipace is the best car I have ever driven. It just does everything so well at any speed. Dare I say I even like the false engine noise when you get off the mark.
Polestar 2 on Saturday then my mind will be made up
Have you driven the Polestar 2 now? Compare them? Is it true that the I-pace feels quicker? Better kick in the accelerator so to speak. Polestar is quicker 0-100 km/h but maybe more gentle the first meters? Please share your thoughts 😃
@@mattiasenquist1547 I found the polestar had a bigger kick in the butt. Maybe I was just. More confident? Jaguar definitely felt more premium and had much better cornering and refinement. However it is a whole heap more costly. Polestar felt made to a price point but having said that it was a lovely design. I suggest opting for leather if you want to feel more special but I am over leather really.
What polestar does so well is it includes all the practical toys you wpuld want in a car as a minimum. Things like 360 camera and full connectivity. If only adaptive dampers were electronic and if only the sport package gave you more power and capacity.
Nachatar Dhaliwal Great! I’m expecting my polestar to arrive in a couple of weeks but the Jaguar has been tempting all the time. It’s like 40-50% more expensive and it’s obviously not that much “better”.
I bought mine 13,000 miles and 4yrs old for £28,000. I love it! 😻
For JLR first attempt at building an EV, this is superb. Awesome. 10/10
Agree.
Brilliant video! I just ordered mine yesterday. I think it's worth mentioning how utterly different this car can look with the 22's and a top spec. Sadly I think it suffers from a lack of real exterior wow factor compared to its rivals now in base spec, and as you rightly say, until you start adding the extremely expensive options. But, if you're fortunate enough to be able to do so this is undeniably an sensational machine...
Thanks for that video (short and complete ! 👌👍) Totally agree with you, certainly the best Jag since the E-type ! That would be my next one !
Really good review and (obviously I’m biased) I have to say I agree completely! For a small company like Jag to produce such an amazing EV ahead of its bigger German rivals was surprising, and even though there is a wider choice of EVs available now, I would make the same purchase if I was buying today.
I’ve not seen the reversing camera problem (I’ve had numerous software updates over the last year and none of them displayed this) which makes me wonder if this specific car maybe had some sort of issue.
It’s a great car to drive and it’s stunning to behold. Looks way better in person than it does in pictures too. But (no offence) I’m really glad they didn’t take your advice on interior material! 🤣
How reliable has your ipace been. Thinking if used but scared of repair costs. Aware battery will be OK but does this also cover the electrical components that support the battery.
great review, thank you
Thank you. Stunning review.
Hello. I have just discovered your channel. I watched the BMW i3s and Jaguar i-Pace reports. Both were very enjoyable to watch - Not the "Boy-racer 20's something" reporters who seem to proliferate on car sites at present. Your delivery and "soothing" Scots accent were also a pleasure (with my name "Ian" and a Bearden address, I am biased).
I have subscribed, and while not a convinced EV buyer, I look forward to your future reports.
Welcome Ian! Thank you for your comments too. We are trying to get back to old-school car road testing, balancing a bit of consumerism with light-hearted enjoyment, but also being relevant. The difference with us is that whilst we are a pure EV media outlet, we are all dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiasts and petrolheads! Good to have you on board, and I hope you enjoy the future content. Remember, we are also a magazine and website too, so head over to autoev.co.uk for more about us, and how to order the magazine.
Great review, beautiful car
Really nice balanced review
Great review - well done!
I wouldn't go as far as saying Jaguar's best-ever design, but definitely top three - the rear three-quarter view of the F-Type coupé is a thing of beauty and the E-Type's side profile is still gorgeous.
Bryan - as an ex-classic car dealer, I agree on the E-Type. And the F-Type is a great design too, although I am less sure about the latest facelift! Is the I-Pace the best looking EV on sale? Discuss......
Great review with lots of the right interior, I drove mine last weekend 129 miles and only used 126 miles off the range. Total miles last weekend 350, with a combination of cheap home charging a very small amount of free charging at a Co-op store and 150 on an Osprey charger arriving back home with 65 miles the whole trip cost £14.50. Now that is cheap for such a high powered car.
I had the pleasure of driving another one a couple of weeks ago on a few long journeys. Still the SUV EV to beat in my book.
I have loved the i-pace since I first set eyes on it. The styling the looks are head and shoulders above anything else. It is a design which in my opinion will never really look dated. What you mentioned about the brakes not feeling quite right, Personally I would be inclined to think it's more to do with that particular car as we all know the brakes can differ from car to car ( same model). I have not driven the I-pace so these are opinions based on my 41 years of driving experience including 39 years of professional driving. Great review of a great car
Most beautiful car in the world ❤️❤️❤️ Jaguar I pace ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Really appreciated you including Jaguar’s history I wasn’t familiar with.
What MY were you reviewing?
Thank you.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. This was a 2020MY car.
You made my mind up! Now where to find money!
After owning an Ipace HSE for two years now, I would say that your assessment on the car is spot on. This car can be an elegant quiet cruiser or great handling GT in a matter of seconds if you prefer spirited driving. I think its one of the most under rated EVs on the market but I kind of like it that way. It gives me a sense of exclusivity compared to the "herd" of tesla drivers. The fit and finish inside and out, its styling , and performance gives me no regret in spending a premium for this car. Just wish I can add on the 2021 model improvements.
Reverse camera issue sounds like this car has not had the infotainment system upgraded to at least 19B or 19C.
We would like to think Jaguar would update its press cars then!
Just taken delivery of mine in SE trim.
Traded in a 70,000 mile 2014 RS4.
Straight line performance I'd say the I pace 0-30 is quicker and sharper on the overtake (no lag whatsoever).
Think he's stretching it with scooby Analogy I had two of them so I should know.
Having said that it does feel obscenely well planted for a 2 ton plus machine.
I also decided against the 22s they look like kerb magnets and I had a nightmare with the rs wheels
Glad you are enjoying your I-Pace, and what a special car to come from with your RS4. I stand by the Scooby analogy though, and I had 2 myself many years ago: a Catalunya and an RB5. Good call on the 22” alloys. Can you imagine the refurb costs????
@@AutoEV nice choice of scoobies I had two of the hatchbacks the last one had a prodive performance pack
Its awesome car. Design wise its the most beautiful car in the world (enzo would agree if he was alive)
2020 model has been updated with faster infotainment. I wonder
2021 model
@@Clarkeyrules1 oh yes... 2021 👍
@@112deeps I’m just being pedantic because I’ve just picked up my 2021 iPace !
@@Clarkeyrules1 you lucky son of a gun......! Jealous. Not yet test driven one.
Agreed - drove the Jag, Audi and Merc. Bought the Jag. By far the best of the three.
Only downside I read and hear is a lack of charging stations, up to 8hrs charge if this is correct, til more charging stations became available, even at your place of work, to charge whilst working, as person's living in flats, on road parking with no option to charge from a charger fitted to their home's is a issue to resolve to the future of electric or (your local city jag dealership would collect your ev from your home, to take it to the dealership with a charge station at their dealership, for you.. to charge it for 8hrs, and then return it to you once charged up or a courtesy car whilst yours charge) with a focus on a build of lower charging time's, also, (but if i could loan a courtesy car in on road parking with the no option to have a charger fitted to the home), whilst mine charged i certainly would love one, I love it, and the best styling of a electric car, I've seen at present
Nice Review
Thank you. More reviews coming soon, so make sure to subscribe if you haven't already!
Great video. I-Pace offers 3 different Black onions. What colour is this I-Pace??? Narvik, Santorini or Farallon Pearl Black...
This particular test car was Santorini Black. I know this, because my wife’s Land Rover is the same colour.....oh, and it said it on the press pack!
Great review but a bit hard to see with a black car in a dark parking garage.
error079 we normally film outside, but unfortunately the morning we filmed this was during Storm Ciara so we had to find an alternative. The car park gave us a nice, moody, urban feel, but you are right, not ideal with a black car.
Such a good looking car and a real EV - why is not selling?
So why is not it selling well. The same question about EQC, that is not such a bad vehicle as the sales show.
Could be the price? They are expensive, but as more and more EVs come to the market, the popularity will grow. We are looking forward to the next Jaguar XJ which is pure EV we are led to believe.
Absolutely agree good review. Considering the ipace. Currently have a BMW X3 . Just a shame that BMW have not upgraded the ix3. Well done Jaguar , you have a convert.
iX3 will be coming out soon for Europe. electrek.co/2020/06/09/bmw-ix3-electric-suv-pre-production-first-official-pictures/
J.Phoenix Gaming ,
Thanks but they gave not really upgraded it for me to buy another BMW . A real shame.
Adlai Almeida What do you mean?
J.Phoenix Gaming
The look has not changed since the initial model launch.
Adlai Almeida yeah it’s pretty much the exact same
A death trap. Do not fall into trap by just looking at it. It has been six months I bought 8-10 weeks it has been in the dealership. 3 times nearly escaped death (stops in the middle of the no where). Won't move in car wash. Problems you name it this car has it.
“Stale cigars… off road pretensions…” what the hell are you talking about?
I disagree the looks whist different look great at first but then you take a good look and you realise that there are a few shortcomings, first off the car proportions look very odd in lighter colours, the airscoop is very polarising, the boot has no wipers ok for some in warmer climates but in a country where it drizzling all the time you think they would have added it tucked below the rear spoiler, finally the tech centre console is poor and they really need to revisit the 360 backup camera display and general info speed this alone will push people away to other brands in its biggest market
ram64man I have it in the UK, the definition of the country where it drizzles. No problem. The rear camera issue now fixed. Go away Tesla boy and live with a car that has not mastered the art of quality and such inventions as headlamp washers and HUD.
@@nikosterizakis not a Tesla fan mate. My only ev I had was a leaf mk1 the only reason I ditch it for diesel was I do 150 miles a day on average at worst 220 miles the job requirements made rapid charging on the fly impossible. As for Tesla I have major issues with there right to repair and charge by subscription for everything including according to the key note soon to be full driving instead of the upfront cost. And refusal to add apple car playb/ android auto . My view is you pick your options you buy a car and it's yours to do with it what you want within limits
I like to describe it as a Sports hatch on steroids.
Imho, the i-pace is more a cross-over than a full size SUV.
MrPikkoz we agree. The car is much lower in height than its nearest rivals, and its full-size sister car, the F-Pace.
Very inefficient, 2.5 miles/kw gives it a usable range of just over 200 miles
Yes, but it is much better than the Audi e-Tron we tested.
@@AutoEV My ioniq runs at between 4.5-5.5 miles/kw. With a smaller battery that costs much less to charge. With that size of battery they should be achieving much greater range. So many of these cars get a 200+ range by using a huge battery. Hyundai seem to have cracked the efficiency better than most.
@@northernirelandfootanklecl1767 your Hyundai is not a luxury car and not as powerful. A Leaf or a Kona is a better comparison.
Funny how just two years after this video the car looks so dated and ordinary, especially with the arrival of IONIQ 5 and EV6 etc.
I think it's a good car and nice and all but come on it's no Jaaaaag..
Maybe not in the sense that we are used to, but in terms of teh original mantra of Space, Pace and Grace, it really is. Its good to see Jaguar looking forward again, just like it used to. Retro references are fine, but pure retro-design can be a bit lazy, and I used to own an X350 XJ6 when they were new, and it was a brilliant car.
A dark car "showcased" in a dim underground car-park? Sorry folks but no amount of design praise is going to help if we can't see the car. That has to be one of the worst reviews I've seen in a while.
Hi Scott, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately the filming in the car park wasn’t intentional. The day we had free for filming was the same day that Storm Ciara hit the South of England, so we had to find somewhere undercover. Hence we used an underground car park. It wasn’t ideal, especially with a black car as you have pointed out, as it didn’t showcase it the way we wanted, nor were we able to shoot any dynamic footage. That’s the issue with filming in the U.K. in February, we can’t guarantee the weather. Normally we film outside. Hope that helps explain the “choice” of location a bit better, and thank you for watching.
