Why the old stager still provides hope for Jaguar's electric future
and the industry’s obsessive excitement for electric SUVs is the fact that the I-Pace still exists. From what seemed like nowhere in 2018, Jaguar produced a genuinely game-changing, progressive, capable electric car. The range, let's not forget, comprised saloons, an F-Pace and an F-Type; then in comes this battery-powered spaceship that won every award going and made the German makers look a bit daft - or at the very least slow-footed.
This is still a great-looking EV, making full use of that bespoke architecture to push the wheels out and maximise space but without subverting a comparatively sleek design. That doesn’t happen very often. The interior, moreover, still looks contemporary, even if a few details inevitably date it. The chunky knurled dials for ventilation are a godsend after so many screens, the mode and drive buttons are chunky, and Pivi Pro works as well here as anywhere else. Albeit on a smaller screen.
But they do make a difference, and there are bits of the EV package that age the I-Pace just a little. It’s still seriously brisk - mostly because Jaguar never offered it with anything but 400hp and all-wheel drive. However, only being able to accept 100kW of charge when cars like the Kia EV6 can take 350kW does inevitably make the Jag feel a bit old hat. That’s progress for you. And there are only so many cookies you should eat in 40 minutes.
