The Jaguar I-Pace hit the ground running when it arrived last year, scooping up a number of awards thanks to its excellent driving dynamics and powertrain. But now it faces stiff competition from the Audi e-tron: the German manufacturer’s take on what a big, electric SUV should be. So which is better? In a first for DrivingElectric, we put both cars through a series of tests to see which comes out on top…

This woman is a excellent reviewer - engaging, likeable, not annoying and tells you what you want to know.
Really nice and well structured comparison. Subscribed for that reason.
This was a great review. Very helpful!!
Fair impartial review. I agree. Jag gets my vote all day. 1 thing - jags NVH and range is adversely affected by those 22” rims (nice as they are), so not apples to apples ...but I’m splitting hairs.
Something about that Jag that I love!!!
It's because it's a Jaaaag
You also might have mentioned that the Jag is trail rated as well.
It can go 22 inches deep in the water, (and retain it's warranty) and has an, "off road" mode too!
I drive the E-tron and will say the following: 1. With my driving pattern, it doesn't really matter if the range is 190 or 210 miles, I will only notice the difference a few times per year. 2. Charging pace is just as important as range. What's the benefit of 10% extra range if the car charges 30% slower? Every time I stop at an Ionity station, I laugh at VW owners who have to spend 2-3 times longer there. 3. Don't know about the UK but in my market, the second charging port is an optiional extra. 4. It's certainly not a sporty car but definitely relaxing. 5. As a family man, I really need the extra cabin and boot space that the Audi offers. Driving the Jaguar would be an annoyance on every weekend getaway and I would constantly have to use a roofbox to store things that didn't fit in the boot.
Simply professional. Pls keep up the excellent work!!
If I were looking for a new electric car, I would choose the I Pace. I have a Chevy Bolt and I enjoy the heck out of it. 238 - 245 miles of range in the Summer and about 180 miles in the Winter.
I own both an I-Pace and a Tesla (Model 3). I also test drove the Audi e-tron and a Model X (my previous car was a Q5 TDI) before making my purchase. I found the Model X more expensive, fugly interior, too large and slower (only the Performance one was faster off the line, but it's still a barge).
I really did like the AuotPilot and the range. The Audi was fair but I didn't really feel it. It felt like a first attempt. The Jag surprised me in a good way, it handled the best, it's AutoPilot equivalent was pretty good (not quite as good as Tesla) but not bad at all. Fair on range, superior luxury and quality of materials, sexy styling and good price (for its class). In the US, the Jag is selling for 10K off + 7500 back on your taxes. When I got mine, Jag offered free financing (don't know if the still do). That made it significantly cheaper than Tesla which came in almost 20K more before the financing savings which add several more dollars. I had thought of waiting for the Taycan but I knew it wasn't going to cost a mint.
If I had 3 kids and did a ton of family vacations I might have went for the Tesla due to its range. But with my kids in college, (my son snatched the Model 3) I found the Jag was perfect. I plan on keeping it until solid-state batteries come out at which time I'll reevaluate.
None of the free financing and 10K off will matter since the Jaguar will be almost worthless after a few years.
@@kevinmsft so will the model 3. Once solid state is out in quantity, first gens will drop like a brick. Remember the 3G iPhones, they were great until 4G, then, who wants them, no one.
@@youferrer which one do you take for road trips and how's the reliability holding up for both vehicles?
When you say nobody, do you speak for every single person in this world? If yes then you are mistaken so bad...
@Jasonsenipor do you have sources on dropping used Model 3 prices? Just anecdotally, it's difficult to find any model 3s on Craigslist in the Pacific Northwest, Carvana and Vroom.
I have a Jaguar F-Pace 20d from 2016 that my wife drives, and it's going to be replaced by a E Tron Sportback 55 quattro.
It's the first and last Jaguar I'll ever buy.
It only has 30k miles yet:
- problems with the dpf filter, which is needing to be replaced, already set off the fire alarm of my garage a few times
- I chose a manual hoping to be more reliable, but at 10k miles the clutch had to be replaced, always getting a stuck clutch pedal
- at 5k miles (!!!) it was making loads of noise in the cabin when starting and accelerating, eventually complained, and the frigging engine mounts had to be replaced
- the mounts of the exhaust system had to be replaced
- cheap plastic materials for the price point
- and now finally, the engine light is coming intermittently, probably because of the dpf filter and the well known oil dilution problem of the ingenium diesel engine. Jaguar's solution? Advice people against buying their diesel engines.
All of this on my wallet!
Can't wait to sell it.
Had an Audi A5 for 8 years, no problems in more than 120k miles, now my A6 Avant C8 already has 24k miles in less than a year and no issues.
JLR can go bankrupt for all I care.
Great review, on point
Jag released an over the air update which improved range by 9% from regenerative breaking software they developed in formula E, so the range has actually increased since this car was new. No additional cost. No increase in battery size or weight. I’ve driven the E Tron and while it’s impressive, it feels cumbersome and heavy and only in sport mode does it feel nippy. It’s very dulled down in E mode. And that front boot area is very archaic as mentioned.
Great high quality video!
Jaguar brings best of all me personally. Loved the ride of my old Jag, i’d assume this is nothing but better.
Now, i’d usually always take an Audi interior over Jaguar. Jaguar feels little cheaper inside. Though it seems they put a lot of quality and better looking interior in the I-pace. It’s nice compared to the rest of their line-up.
Great presentation...really enjoyed it...We have decided on the Jaguar i-pace,it's such a "Bad Boy"...thank you all...Best Wishes.
Jaguar i Pace is like that really Naughty Hunk at college who's also well mannered.
Always wins hearts. 💕
So the Audi is a German business man. And the Ipace is the cultured, Rugby Player? :D
You buy with your heart not head. My head says Jag due to range, price and performance. My heart screams JAG for fun!!!!!. Being a pensioner I ought to go for the somewhat 'middle aged' image of the Audi except it just looks well 'middle aged'. A 62 year old solicitors car.
Should have included looks which the Jaguar wins by an absolute mile
It sure does
I beg to differ
2nd review I've seen using the same ipace. Wouldn't have been my interior choice. Still an awesome car though
Do you have a comparison between E-tron and EQC?
That's how you do it, great comparison.
Best comparison video I have ever since.don't know why jag is not selling in north America, its a lovely car.
I appreciate the EPA estimates seem to be the most accurate vs others. I'd rather it be conservative and hit it 99% of the time. My '18 i3S Rex 94A in my 70% freeway 30% city 59mi daily commute, I arrive to work at 75-78%, after driving 29 miles very consistently. So that's easily beating the EPA figure of 97mi. I love the etron, its range is just so disappointing (204mi EPA). My lease is up in a year, I want a long range etron (300+ miles).... Good video!
What about the cell chemistry in the battery packs?
When I saw the jag's interior 🤤 whewww love the red
Great Video Comparison. Looking forward to the Video Review of the New Mercedes EQ C coming soon
I love the Jaguar drive yet it’s somewhat let down by the high speed charging which (assuming avaibility of 150 kw charger) is twice as fast with the Audi, which unlike Jaguar is a member of Ionity which is starting to have a good coverage in continental europe, especially north of Switzerland where I live. one can still charge at Ionity without being a member but at a steep price, I mean steeper than a gaz guzzling V8 ! Loved you review which sums well both cars
There seems to be an assumption that people who want to go electric want a sports car, i’v no interest at how fast it can go 0-60 , I want a great feeling car that’s comfortable and easy to drive , I test drove the jag and it was great ! But soooo much plastic and don’t get me started on the laggy screens, the Audi in terms of interior was light years ahead of the jag! Super plush materials butter smooth screens too. I’m just waiting for the eqc test drive before I make a decision but for me , Audi is way more comfortable then the jag. What is t mention here is the fact the jag charge for everything you wails want for this price range I.e electric boot blind spotting, cruise control eg by the time you add them on the price between the Audi and jag are a lot more closer. Food for thought
I think the eqc is the most comfortable of them all with the best interior and functions, but you pay the price for it when it comes to range. I wanted a bigger jag suv the ipace looks like a glorified hatch and I also heard it takes a lot of time to charge. The etron looks great tho
Simple I pay for range and speed .screen for children who wanna play video games .jag is practical car in cheep rate .now ppl now modify jag interior and full there both need
Better to check the efficiency of the battery .it is the most important.
Saw an e-tron yesterday, didn't see anything special about it. Looks like a bland soccer mom SUV from Germany. Glad I got the Jag.
How do the seats compare?
Can you pleqse give EV efficiency in kWh/100km too?
Nice seeing the mainstream automakers coming out with compelling EVs! Although if you don’t need a hatchback, checkout the model 3 with more range, performance, autopilot and supercharging for many thousands less
But you will be sitting in plastic seats instead of premium leather and your roof will leak.
Pavel 49 but you’ll have the best selling car that outsells the 3 series and is pure fun to drive. To each their own. Either way EVs are superior to ICE. You can’t go wrong with any of these
@@tongtran007 Like I was thinking about Model 3 (its cheaper so I can tolarate worse interior, I can't however on Model S and X), but in my country Czech Republic we have been promised Tesla since March and now its by end of the year, so it made it easier. Plus I plan to have kids in 2 years so I can use a bigger car.
Pavel 49 the model 3s minimalist interior is not for everyone. Personally I like its calming and clean. Sometimes less is more. The amount of storage these EVs provide is great for families as well 🤙🏻
@@tongtran007 Like I'm not a fan of of it, I like traditional interior and what I'm really missing and its one of the deal breakers in no leaher in interior, I don't want any of that vegan thing which is just plastic, I want to have real leather and I wouldn't mind paying for it, but I don't want to get it and get a new seats.
After a lot of market study and through the reviews I decided to buy Jaguar I pace.. and it turns to a right decision ..amazing car it looks like small because it is an advanced design. very comfortable and its handling & control is superb even in 100 m/hr with. 400 bhp & this car is over filled with technologies is a tech SUV.. choose the Air Suspension. - the range I am getting it with my driving style 232 - 9 times full charge. long trips and town ..Very impressive and the Jaguar after sale support ( Grange Jaguar )
Just feel like if the system of charging is different like gas stations or just like replacable batteries from battery station in the place of gas station.
Good review thanks, but for me the I Pace is way ahead. Longer range, quicker, lighter,better handling and less money, these are the important points that matter. Yes the interior matters but both are very good, storage space in both is adequate and not a deal breaker.
The Jaguar name still carries some prestige, although they have a poor reliabilty record, obviously this Jag is too new to have any real history of reliability.
HAH! can't remember anytime i've put my ipace in eco mod
The I-Pace is a stunning car to look at, insanely comfortable and the best drive experience in an EV in my experience. The only downside I see is range/charging time but if you’re not doing a lot of mileage it doesn’t get much better than the I-Pace
I think they are both close, I would say personal preference is the decider.... question is would you buy one and then regret you couldn't buy the other (not that you'd be disappointed with your choice!!!!)
Great video, I stopped watching reviews on fossil cars years ago. Electric propulsion is better in almost every way.
EPA: "If every American switched one 60W incandescent bulb to a 35W CFL, it would save more than $600 million in annual energy costs and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 800,000 cars."
archive.epa.gov/epapages/newsroom_archive/newsreleases/00c07ccb32cf4fab8525754d0073d8d1.html
Imagine the global cooling if every American got rid of a 900,000W Tesla.
So it looks like I did a good thing by ordering I-Pace yesterday
Congrats!! I hope you love it
As someone who owns the I-Pace, here are some tidbits.
1. Demand the latest software (19B) or higher. The older versions were buggy. They have fixed a ton of bugs, still have a few but no longer annoying.
2. Get a home charger. The one they provide takes forever to charge (at least in the US).
3. Take it out for a spin. It handles great, really good. For giggles, I raced my friend who has an older Cayman S. I beat him. LOL. I told him I can beat him with a 65" TV in the back.
4. When you drive like a nut, the guestimates on range go way down (as expected). When you decide to go back to normal, turn on the car (but don't press the brake pedal) then press both pedals and hold them down for 10 seconds, this causes the guess-o-meter to reset.
@@youferrer thanks, like I drove it and I had pretty good consumption and I will have latest software, but I live in apartment so can't charge at home. (I live in Europe ) but thanks for tips.
Good choice.
Bro ,cool flex
The review is missing two vital variables that will matter to most modern car buyers. How good are the infotainment systems and how good are the active safety features and driver's assist systems?
OK EV testing comes of age. Good test nails the crucial points. Jag for me.
Jag is terrible to drive. Infotainment is a joke, interior is poor quality. Road noise is overpowering.
The I-Pace handles very well with the air suspension too.
It does, although on the motorway I prefer it without. The air suspension works better for bad roads, but makes the car less sharp at higher speeds.
They’re both short range for the US market where distances are A lot greater between destinations
The blind spots on the I pace a and b pillars ?
Yup, test drove it yesterday. Blind spots in the Jag are significant.
How are software updates handled?
Are they treated like traditional ICE vehicles or are they taking the Tesla approach and driver's can expect to get updates throughout the life of the car?
i-Pace is certainly a back to dealer one for upgrades... rather poor!
With the latest update, OTA updates for the Jag are active.
Brilliant fair review but for me it's JAG JAG JAG all the way. The i-pace is such a beautiful car
What's her name? She is a brilliant reviewer, I want to follow her.
I do like your miles per Kilowatt hour. It’s an intelligent measure of efficiency. You should also use miles per hour to rate the charging. Not the obtuse % of charge rating which is nonsensical and used on purpose by every electric car maker with inferior charge capability because it hides their shortcomings.
The E-Tron shows mph on the charging status screen... They're not hiding anything. Tesla has over a decade of experience making EVs... did you really expect the competition to match Tesla from day one?
How do you know what they are like when neither has any service history?
Since this video Jaguar has pushed out some seriously good OTA updates that improves range a decent amount and improving the infotainment system too.
The one thing I have to disagree on is the Comfort rating. A lot of people I know, including myself, think the Audi seats just aren't that comfortable for long rides. I-Pace seats are so comfortable
Very good indeed
I LOVE JAG ALSO, NICE POWERFUL CAR, I LIKE IT, WELL DONE 👍👍😍😍😍
Whats with driving offroad?
A fair review but aimed at different markets. Why so few reviews of EVs on a channel called ‘Drive Electric’
because not enough full EV cars in the world for a weekly sceduled car review videos in a channel that's been around for quite some time now..
hellmekun , videos and reviews can be on many better EV related subjects than ICE vehicles :-)
@@JohnKellett_kreativarchitects well for me, phev is stil better then ICE so so problem here :)
How about UK city and car parking? Please compare turning circles, and widths. I suspect neither will pass a 6 6 restriction or be able to do a tight u turn on the ever increasing number of mini roundabouts.
The Ipace is 1890mm wide so just over 6'2" and height 1565 mm so well under restrictions. Turning circle of the IPace is 12.4m I don't know what you're looking for, it ain't a london taxi at 8.5m but how many cars are.
@@Payteer check the jaguar web site or measure the width. Excluding mirrors according to jaguar it's 2011 mm wide.
The Jag is so good looking.
I hate it when people compare these two cars like this sure they are SUV’s but they are completely different clientele and while the Audi may be more a electron guzzling car it matches most of its brands believes where owners don’t really worry about range as long as it does the weekend getaway with the family in comfort
no doubt jag is the winner, its functionality, performance and especially looks is unbeatable
doesnt carwow use these roads as well? :D
Mozzi Mozz yes it’s milbrook testing facility I think
Yeah tarmac ones.
Yes!!!
UK seems so small on youtube XD
I think the show The Grand Tour uses it as well
Can’t wait for the Mustang Mach E
I would say, if you did add air suspension to the Jag, then it can do a bit of off road driving.
air springs always fail for longevity
You didn't note the cheap plastic on the area between the seats in the Audi.
The second charging port on the Audi is an optional extra and both cannot be used together. Why not mention this?
It's not optional
@@GregHassler The port on the driver's side is a 11kWh on board charger, the optional one on the passenger's side is a 22kW charger. I own an e-Tron and it has the 11kW charge port only. To have the other one would have cost a further 450 Euros.
@@dangerdackel maybe it's different in Europe, the option doesn't exist in the US that I can see, I went through their entire configurator on their website.
@0:10 That is the same location as the one in End of the f***n world where they are hitchhiking!
What lets this car down, and many others (excepting Tesla) is that the car manufacturers rely on third party electrical charge station suppliers leading to problems such as differing plug points, charging time, having to download apps. to use the charger, if you find a charger suitable for your car. Look at Tesla who have their own charge points over a growing number of places, simply scan your bank card and charge your car. Unless other manufacturers follow suit then Tesla will be the less hastle car to have in regard to charging your battery. Maybe manufacurers can emulate Tesla in uniformity of charging stations for charging any brand of vehicle ( petrol cars have a uniform petrol entry port enabling fills at any station irrespecrive of station owner) but don't hold your breath.
Why does the Audi temporarily changes alloys at 4:03 !!??
Buying a car is like this: Your wallet decide which cars to choose from, your head decides which one is the better option and your wife decides which car you pick.
I drove both cars, I have to say that the jag feels way faster, but the e tron is much more fun to drive and the interior quality is way better.
More fun? Let me direct you to 7:48
SO>>>>>>> i pace or f pace ?
I-pace all day long
Jaguar is the best by a mile
Jaguar 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Jaguar & Range Rover = TATA = India. Sorry...
It's built in Austria
I put mine in eco mode all the time
Jag#1
Which one will catch fire and explode first? My bet is on the I Pace!
Jag is more fun but audi more comfortable
Why hv to chose between these two cars ? Why not consider Tesla ?
It will be an even more interesting comparison to add in a Tesla and the Mercedes EQC
Tesla are much more quickier then this two and have more range
@@Mr11ESSE111 And larger.
@@itechiwizard83 then even better for Tesla
Like you can't compare Model X with them as people who wants to buy E-Tron, I-Pace (like I did) or EQC (EQC is not sold yet) wants to have premium car and there is nothing premium about Tesla, when you sit inside it feels like Dacia or Fiat Panda, super cheap and badly build and instead of real leather they use this plastic thing. No thank you, for that money I wouldn't buy it, only Tesla which makes sense is Model 3 as its cheaper car and don't expect anything premium from it.
@@TravelwithPavel iyou can compare model X with them because price,performance,range, and especially tech are on tesla side while something better plastic in front of dasboard and badge are on their side
All wheel drive is the milage killer !
2 motors need feeding.
and the big rigs don't have to bring all that gas to the pump
That drag race drove stake thru audi lovers, christ would the nissan leaf done better? prefer the jag drive too, and the range,also the cable storage in the audi is laughable..not even close to me jaguar hands down and I aint a Jag fan either tbh.
Which is best.
Tesla model X
Ti seguo solo se viaggi con auto elettriche. Ciao
JAGUAR ❤️❤️💪
I have had an i pace since last October. I love driving it but sadly it has been besieged with battery and ‘engine issues’. It has spent 7 weeks off the road so far and on Friday I had to wave goodbye as it left on the back of a tow truck ....... again! 😫
Liar.
@@stringer-ik1pc sadly not
@@myerscoj carry on looking at men's bodies. 😂😂😂
@@stringer-ik1pc not sure I follow.
Mercedes GLS 450 2018 and Range Rover Supercharged 2018 which is a better buy?
If I win the lottery, I will buy a Jag. Thanks.
Just get rid of the grill, looks good on the new Tesla's I don't think we're saving aesthetics by keeping the intake look.
E-tron!!
Audi is just an electric Audi - Jag is special
Touchscreens on the audi are a minimalist delight, apparently. Ummm, no.
Comparatively to Jaag, Audi's infotainment system is light years ahead.
@@itechiwizard83 lightyears ahead is one thing (and expect you are right). And Audi have had good (or very good) MMI for many years (usually after charging a big premium). It is a lot of things, but it is a long way from minimalist.
So...this means that you can charge your audi from two stations in the sane time?
Shocking efficiency. My ioniq returns 4.8m/kwh and takes 5hours to charge.
4.8 meters per kwh? that's awful...
@@mxrz almost funny, miles/kwh.
The WLTP figures are never accurate for range. If you want accurate range figures for electric vehicles then look at the US EPA ratings. I find the EPA ratings are almost always spot with the real world range.
Am not sure I agree with you.
I am getting way better range than the EPA out of my I-Pace. On average about 284 miles over the last two months. That's only about 10 miles less than the WLTP rating. That said, if you look at the way the EPA rating is calculated (check the details they use for EV's), I am not surprised.
There's nothing says I've arrived more than a jag.
It’s a shame you did not compare this to the Tesla X for efficiency and range...
Jag 💯💯
