The Jaguar I-Pace (stylised as I-PACE) is a battery-electric crossover SUV produced by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) under their Jaguar marque. The I-Pace was announced in March 2018, European deliveries began in June 2018 and North American deliveries started in October 2018. Amid slowing sales [1] and a change in corporate vision, Jaguar has announced that the I-Pace will be discontinued by 2025. [2]

Development

concept car.

The Jaguar I-Pace was designed by Ian Callum. [3] 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. [4] [5]

The I-Pace is built by contract manufacturer Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria, [6] and the production version of the I-Pace was revealed in Graz on 1 March 2018. [7] It was subsequently showcased for its first public appearance in its production version at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show. [8]

Some of the electric drive technology[ which? ] has come out of the Jaguar I-Type electric Formula E racing car programme. [9]

Overview

The Jaguar I-Pace launched with a WLTP-rated range of 292 miles (470 km) [10] 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). [11] [12] The car can ford water up to 500 mm (20 in) deep. [13] The rear boot holds 656 litres (23 cu ft), [14] along with 28 litres (1 cu ft) of front boot space. The drag coefficient is 0.29. [3]

The car has all-wheel drive via two motors powered by a 90 kWh LG Chem liquid cooled lithium-ion battery. [3] 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). [3] The 062 mph (0100 km/h) time is 4.8 seconds, [10] and the top speed is electronically limited to 124 mph (200 km/h). [15]

The battery contains 432 pouch cells. [16] It can charge from 0 to 80 per cent 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. [15] As the I-Pace was initially released with a single-phase 7 kW AC charger, a one-hour charge, would add around 30 km (19 miles) of range. [17] Later 2021 models had 11 kW AC charging, at single-phase or three-phase, depending on market.

The car comes with a smartphone app called Jaguar Remote, which can locate the car, report on its locking, alarming and charging status, and start its battery preconditioning or cabin heating/cooling. [18]

In 2018, Waymo selected the Jaguar I-Pace for use in its autonomous ride-hailing service, placing an order for 20,000 vehicles. [38]

Wireless charging project

In June 2020, Jaguar announced its support for a wirelessly charged taxi project in Oslo, Norway. Jaguar gave 25 I-Pace vehicles to taxi company Cabonline, which will use the vehicles to test the charging infrastructure on taxis in the Norwegian capital. Ralf Speth, JLR's then chief executive, said, "The taxi industry is the ideal test bed for wireless charging, and indeed for high-mileage electric mobility across the board."[ dubious discuss ].
