Premium electric SUV buyers are spoilt for choice at the moment with a whole load of posh pure EV high-riders on sale.
It's fair to say, however, that BMW has been a bit slow to catch on in this part of the market. Mercedes and Audi have had their models, the EQC and e-tron respectively, on sale for a while now, and Jaguar beat all of them by introducing its I-Pace first.
The new iX3 is the car BMW hopes to gain some lost ground on its rivals, but can it beat our favourite, the Jag I-Pace. Both do similar things and are appealing to similar customers but they are quite different in approach. Which one is best? Ginny Buckley finds out.

As an I Pace owner for the last year, I have to agree with Ginny… it is fast, exciting, powerful, sporty, has brilliant road holding, a superb interior and now after 3 years since launch, the only car to beat it is the Taycan but I much prefer the SUV style as I have always had SUVs. Jaguar have nailed it with the I Pace, it’s a rocket ship that handles like a high performance car! Absolutely nothing out there could tempt me otherwise as an EV and in White with the Panoramic Roof, the Black Pack & the obscenely large 22” Diamond Cut Alloys…. It’s just unbeatable 🇬🇧 👍 here, here Jaguar 👏👏👏👏

You are obviously wedded to your much loved car but for most people it is already looking like a ‘bubble’ car. Just as Nissan never followed up with the Leaf, Jaguar haven’t pushed on with the i-Pace. Sub-contracting the manufacturing to Steyr tells you all you need to know about their ambitions. In 2018 I thought it was brilliant that they had built a proper EV on an EV only platform, unlike the offerings from Merc/BMW/Audi (their main competitors) at the time. But they never followed up and are now being comprehensively outsold by those brands EVs. Where is the cheaper RWD option? Where the software upgrades and the range improvements? Right now the i-Pace looks to be in a manufacturing dead-end with no derivatives and falling sales. With the Tesla Model Y arriving in Europe now the Jaguar will be further marginalised in this price/category of car. It will undoubtedly become a future classic though and if I had one I would hang on to it!

@@TheCarxpert You’re entitled to your opinion but the facts say otherwise. The Jag was launched in March 2018, that’s 3.5 years ago and cumulative sales have only just reached 45,000. The Tesla model Y sold 76,000 in the first six months of 2021 and was only launched in Spring last year. Ultimately that’s the only area that matters as car companies need to make a profit to keep going. Jaguar are just not serious about EVs and they don’t care about their customers. If they did they would at least join up with the Ionity consortium and negotiate a decent charging price for their customers as Mercedes and BMW have done. Drivers of these premium brands do higher than average miles, they are business execs on the road and need rapid charging which is where the Jag falls flat on its i-Face. For all its design excellence the i-Pace cannot be taken seriously and the low sales figures tell us that is exactly the case.

When it came to choosing an electric car back in 2019 the iX3 was yet to be released and my short list came down to the EQC, E-Tron or the I-Pace. I watched Ginny's review and she was so in love with the car, it's performance, looks and handling. Qualities the EQC and E-Tron just don't have. Merc and Audi may sell a lot more of their vehicles but space aside, they don't come close to the I-Pace. After 30,000 miles It is still as fun and exciting to drive the I-Pace as the first time I punched the accelerator with the chequered flag on the dashboard. My only surprise is that it hasn't outsold the other 2 cars, I guess its the extra height and badge?

An interesting comparison of two ‘old world’ brands but unless you are so deeply ingrained with brand snobbery why would you bother with either of them when the brilliant Kia EV6 and now the Tesla Model Y are available in Europe. Let’s see some tests of these two up against the Tesla and the Kia. We know they will lose out on range and outright performance but what about build quality, infotainment, NVH? From the reports I’ve read the Tesla and Kia are a match for these two in those departments as well.

the main push-back is the slow recharge time of the Jaguar. The Bjorn Nylan 1’000 km challenges shows that as does your simulation (I also made several of them with ABRPI) But on a more typical 615 km journey where initial range matter more the difference is far smaller so it depends if you travel often long (i.e. 1000 rather than 500 km) distance often.

What is interesting is that the recent What Car review of the same cars came to the opposite conclusion which shows What Cars bias towards the German cars again -advertising revenue perhaps What car? Nevertheless Jaguar, whilst this was way ahead of the pack 3 years ago you are losing your lead. It desperately needs new versions ( and a new name?) More power options such as single motor running for economy , performance version with Tesla top speeds , higher battery charging rate and improved shape ( even though the styling still looks good.) It really is not good enough to put on a chrome grill on and a worse Satnav system for the 21MY -it really is not good enough!

I saw one being used in Poitiers as a taxi the other day and have to say it looks a great car though out of my league on price. The Jaguar brand is in great danger of not making it through the EV revolution, sales are terrible which would be sad considering how early they came with such an excellent car on a purpose built EV platform. Their problem has and always will be generating enough volume to make a margin. They were going to do a pure electric XJ but that project seems to have been canned.

most of the people thinks that EV6 or Ioniq5 has better cabin. No way. IX3 is crazy good, and much better suspension system. On the other had, the Jag has a sporty ride with great heritage. The interior design of the Jag is something that the market is missing: it's art. The korean cheap plastic EV6 or Ioniq5 has no chance. Genesis GV60 Sport is the only car that could beat the germans & the english gentleman Jaguar. I would wait for the best built E-GMP car, and that will be the Genesis by far. IX3 is an underrated sleeper, its a well tested cabin with lots of experience, a no risk buy. Jaguar is a beautiful masterpiece. Ioniq5 is a well constructed average car, and EV6 is a joke with rubbish exterior. I would wait for the EQB. I will probably decide between EQB / IX3 / GV60S. I just need a car around city the close destination points. I will never sell my Lexus fossil V8 for longer journeys... 20minutes charging time is waay too much for me & my familie. people are generally over estimating the korean car industry.

EV6 will blow a lot of EV SUV out of the waters

Yes, and the GT version will come in at BMW/Jag money but with supercar performance. BMW are so off-track until they develop a dedicated EV platform. This is a massive problem for German industry as a whole which has been built on making excellent world beating engines...but who cares now? Nothing can beat the power/weight and torque of an electric motor. Based on the ID3, ID4, e-Tron and Mercedes offerings they are way behind Tesla, HMG and the Chinese at the electric game...which will be the only game in town by end decade.

Didn’t have the crown? What with over 70 awards and the No 1 drivers EV until the Taycan came along at nearly twice the price!! Who you trying to kid 🤣😂

@@beaublue1625 im trying to kid nobody... The ipace is one of the last cars I would think about or even consider buying. Nobody is/was talking about it a few weeks after release. When it launched it already lost to the Model X, then a bit later the e-Tron came out, which is better, especially when it comes to charging, and even the freakin Kona (if we count this as SUV) is far more attractive than the jaguar. Now the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6wipes the floor with almost everyone else... Just my perception

@@mongini1 The Ipace is beautiful to drive and exceeds many Model S Tesla’s in performance. The interior and seats are a class above the Tesla S.
