Jaguar I-Pace: 184″ L x 75″ west x 61″ H (cm: 467 L x 191 west x 155 H)

Design:

It looks similar an Audi. For mortal coming from a petrol powered Audi, this automobile volition hold off real familiar. They’ve kept a similar front end grill, door handles, 10” (25 cm) infotainment display, MMI haptic feedback, MyAudi mobile app, Quattro AWD, as well as heads upward display.

150 kW DC accuse rate

5 aeroplane air suspension

4,000 lbs towing capacity (1,814 kg)

Total motor ability output is 300 kW or 400 horsies

Audi has non announced official EPA arrive at but European WLPT arrive at is said to last northward of 249 miles (400 km). When Jaguar quoted their WLPT arrive at at 292 miles (470 km), EPA arrive at ended upward existence 20% less. Using that same estimate, the e-tron would milk shiver out to northward of 200 miles (322 km) but probable non equally high equally 250 miles (402 km).

Creature Comforts:

Their top halt e-tron package, Prestige, offers a host of animate existence comforts like

Curb weight is nearly 5,600 lbs (2,540 kg), which agency the gross vehicle weight should last inwards a higher house 6,000 lbs as well as unlock the $25,000 concern ‘Hummer Tax Credit’ inwards the US.

First impressions:

It’s a actually first-class automobile when factoring inwards the total offering.

Range as well as efficiency is non equally groovy at Tesla’s Model X but it far exceeds Tesla inwards fit, finish, as well as animate existence comforts.

I’m non terribly crazy nearly the dual hide arrangement equally it seems in that place is roughly redundancy. That existence said, I empathize Audi has to retrieve nearly streamlining manufacturing across their entire vehicle business upward as well as attracting their electrical flow client base of operations alongside something they are familiar with.

Charging infrastructure as well as network from the infotainment was either buried inwards the carte or non-existent. This, however, is a elementary software update on Audi’s end. Most people’s charging needs inwards the e-tron volition last met alongside habitation charging as well as the current, as well as rapidly growing, CCS charging network across the US.
