After decades of big engines and loud exhausts, Jaguar have taken their first step towards an electric future with the eyebrow raising i Pace.
But can their first attempt at an electric vehicle stand up against the ever growing and increasingly stiff competition? Join me as I find out.

Love my I-Pace. It definitely feels like driving the future.

Great review overall. As someone who has done 17k miles in one living with it longer term its the charging speed and UK charging infrastructure that now lets it down. But if you are mostly charging at home that isn't an issue.

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. Hopefully the infrastructure will improve soon 👍

I'd love an ipace, not in that colour, and would buy one over the German and Korean option. 186wh per mile, as an early 2car ev owner, that's not bad. My dad owned many jags in the 60and 70s, so I really miss and appreciate the luxury of a Jag. Big lottery win and straight to a Jag dealer's door.

17:40 I kinda did once accidentally a 4 wheel drifting in an iPace at an acceleration from 40 to 90km/h on a wide slippery corner. It was very controlled and stable, but the ESP acted a little late . In "Normal" mode it uses more like 60:40 power split, so the rear spins faster and makes it oversteer in corners. So I noticed that ECO or ADSR (winter) modes fix that, they use 50:50 power.

Hi Bobby, first time I’ve ever watched one of your videos, love your style, I’ll certainly watch others! My I-Pace is due in March, to replace my Tesla M3, really looking forward to it, I’ll let you know what I think!

Hi Robert! Thank you so much for taking the time to write your lovely comment. My channel is only in the early stages at the moment so it’s lovely to read nice things like this. Yes, please let me know how you get on when you get yours. 😊

The IPace is my dream car. If I discover a benefactor now in my old age I will buy one. But till that happens I will stick to my little Chevrolet Bolt EUV. Yes I'm in the US

I think the slot in the back of the front seat looks like a mount for a monitor, iPad ,TV ?

I-Pace courtesy car, WOW!!! Local Jag/LR dealership can’t spell EV or I-Pace. Guessing my I-PACE that’s been on order for nearly a year is their only new I-PACE sale, ever.

I'm with you regarding the black wheels. At first I wasn't fond of them, just as you, I thought wheels should be kind of a metallic look.

What color is that Silver or Eiger?

@tonygiles9704 Жыл бұрын

It does need a grille to supply air to the heat exchanger....

@ArchitectTomorrow Жыл бұрын

Yeah that is the lower part. And the side curtain ones are to improve airflow over the wheels

@markgeller5900 Жыл бұрын

Is this an IPace "black" or does it have the "black pack" option only? I love this car and agree...best looking EV. Further, you are correct, most of the LUXE EVs like Porsche don't get much more than 250 miles anyway. It's plenty for everyday use.

The battery isn't under the boot really - you could have shown the underboot storage. The Air Suspension models have the air compressor under the boot

11kW charging is on 3-phase AC. It charges at 100kW max on a 100+kW charger DC

@janghekiere3258 Жыл бұрын

yeah in theory it charges at 100 kW, when the battery has a temperature of 25 ° Celsius.(official on the Dutch Jaguar site, probably posted after too many drivers complaining about the issue of slow charging) It charges in real life at 50 kW at a 150 kW charger, ridiculous. Mine was one of the first on the road. Very good to drive but the charging at superchargers is way too slow in respect to current EV cars. Jaguar makes good cars but could do better in follow-up en modernizing /upgrading mid term. Also had some issues with 12 volt batteries twice and the parking actuator.

104kw on my MY21, which I have actually done with mine on road trips with Ionity chargers in France, if you start around 20% SOC. After 50%^ SOC it starts dropping off. Above 80% won't do more than 50kw.

Battery is not under the boot floor...

@gregsjaguar46 Жыл бұрын

My iPace is a dream to drive, especially long road trips. Totally let down by poor after sales service and patronisinig dealerships that make out every issue with the car to be the customer's problems. So sadly, I can only advise avoid buying this great car, due to the near non existent after sales service.

@bobbyfreemandrives8342 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment Greg. Sorry to hear about the after sales service. I have actually experienced this from Jaguar too. Hopefully it improves soon. 👍

The funniest thing... I saw one stuck on ice the other day. No snow just pure icy road Just sat there spinning away 🤣🤣 Not the first electric car I have seen stuck on ice.. It makes me giggle

@daviddakin7094 11 ай бұрын

Any car will struggle on pure ice unless fitted with spiked tyres. Even the Range Rover I used to own would slide sideways on ice. So not really that funny. Just saying

Charging is very slow a 100kw, EV6 can charge at over 200kw. This car isn't worth the money at £74000 for the HSE

@ArchitectTomorrow Жыл бұрын

Yes charging is the older tech but this thing handles much better than the Hyundai e-GMP platform based cars like the EV6. So it depends what you want.
