What Is The Jaguar I-PACE?

Serving Clearwater, Tampa, Largo, St. Petersburg, Palm Harbor, FL

It is official: Jaguar's second SUV in its existence will be its first ever electric car. Jaguar declared that it is going to make electric cars desirable, and looking at the I-PACE Concept we can tell that they might accomplish that. The new electric SUV goes into production in the second half of 2018 and is expected to shake the ground under the Tesla. There are so many reasons why the I-PACE will be an electric car to die for - top among them attractive pricing, a plethora of standard features, and our favorite, an impressive range. In less than two years, the first I-PACE SUVs will grace our roads, and if Jaguar builds them even close to the concept car, they are going to turn many heads.

Luxury Electric SUV Concept

Built on a dedicated electric-vehicle architecture, the I-PACE layout is unlike any that you would find in vehicle design rule books. However, we notice some similarities with the F-PACE - which is a good thing. The exterior is muscular and assertive with a sloping roofline and-and a set of 23-inch Nighthawk wheels. Slim LED headlamps accentuate the front fascia, and a slender composite rear bumper is designed to minimize lift at high speed with negligible impact on aerodynamic drag. The I-PACE comes with a unique hydrophobic coating on the steeply raked rear window that is aimed at eliminating the need for rear wipers. To reduce drag, the I-PACE will be fitted with a set of rear vents and a rear diffuser that use turbulence instead of conventional exhaust finishers. It rides on an 117.72-inch wheelbase and a five-link rear suspension system. With the absence of an engine bay, the I-PACE will run with short overhangs and provide a Lamborghini-esque one-cubic-foot storage space in the nose and an 18.71 cubic feet storage compartment at the rear.

Interior Features

The five-seat I-PACE will look and feel like a proper Jaguar. Jaguar promises that the interior will be more spacious than most vehicles in its class. The seating position and the mounting position of the instrument panel are lower than in traditional SUVs. The cabin features a minimal switchgear and two-strut design center-stack console with about 500 cubic inches of storage underneath. It is also furnished with a full-length panoramic glass roof that includes an array of visual effect enhancing embedded LEDs. We should expect excellent material quality including Windsor leather covers on seats, an aluminum-highlighted door trim, open-pore walnut veneer finishes, and micro suede surfaces. The I-PACE will come with a 10.0-inch TFT screen as its primary interface and a 5.5-inch display underneath it will reduce navigation clutter. There will also be a configurable 12.0-inch virtual instrument cluster, and Jaguar InControl Apps will support Android and iOS devices.

Power and Range

The Jaguar I-PACE will be motivated by a pair of permanent magnet AC motors integrated into each axle. Combined, they crank out a total of 400 hp and 516 pound-feet of torque. Those are impressive figures that compare to those of the pure-bred Jaguar F-Type SVR sports car. Jaguar projects that their all-electric SUV will rush from zero to 60-mph in four seconds and will return about 220 miles from its 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. The battery will also achieve 80 percent charging in just 90 minutes and 100 percent in two hours on a 50-kW fast-charging DC station. All electric motors and batteries are designed in-house using the best technology available.*
