The I-Pace is gorgeous, fast, comfortable and efficient. After surviving the first few months of software and hardware problems the car has been nearly flawless. Jaguar released numerous software fixes and other than a few infotainment niggles the car is fine. It's fun to drive and looks amazing. Cold temperatures reduced range from 230 to 180 miles but wasn't an issue for me because most of my driving is in the city. Performance is awesome and after 10 months of ownership I am still looking for excuses to drive my I-Pace.

First off, the I-Pace is my first EV car and before buying it, I did a lot of research on this type of car, including competitors like the Tesla Model 3 and Audi Etron. The Etron disappeared first from my list. High weight, relatively poor performance, high consumption and actually quite boring. The Model 3 was a more difficult choice. It's a smaller car but also cheaper, has the Tesla ring to it and is of course full of gadgets. It also was the best selling car in 2019 in my country (Netherlands). Which means, you see it everywhere. Pros were high efficiency, expected good resale value, OTA updates. Cons were a rather bland interior, lesser build quality and, IMHO, rather boring looks. However good the car is in itself, it has become the T-Ford of EV's by now and for me, that's not necessarily a plus. Then the I-Pace. I find the I-Pace strikingly good looking. It's not a real SUV, more of a crossover. The interior is roomier than you think, thanks to a very long wheelbase. It's a ground-up EV design with a few quirks which don't bother me too much. I had a chance to test the car for week to see if it would fit my life style and it did. The 1-phase charging is a minus, but after six months of ownership, it has never been a problem for me. I drive about 750-800 km every week, but even then the 1-phase charging has never been an issue. My daily drives routinely are often 200-220 200, so that leaves plenty of time for charging. The fastcharging speed of 100 kW can only be reached in specific circumstances, more likely you will see something like 80-90 kW for a while which will taper off above 55%. But in 17000 km (11000 miles), I have had to fastcharge only on international trips so far. The I-Pace got a bad reputation for having a very short range just after it was launched. That was due to a combination of faulty software, a First-Edition model with 22" wheels and all goodies, which reduces range a lot, and a launch during the winter. I purchased mine in November 2019 and have received several updates since then. I bought the Business Edition S-Model, a combination of S and SE-features not sold anywhere else. Did choose the 18" wheels for the longer range though. During the (mild) winter, my average range was 350-370 km (218-231 miles) on a full charge. Now temperatures have gone up (May 2020), the range has improved to 430-450 km (268-281 miles). I have set the Regen to High on the I-Pace and that makes one-pedal driving a breeze. Once you have accustomed yourself to that it's make for a very relaxed drive and it will increase your range. All around, it's consumption is similar to that of the Tesla Model S up to 70-75 mph (112-120 kph). Above that, the larger frontal area and higher drag will increase consumption more than that of the Model S (being a lower, sleeker sedan). High speeds will eat up your range very quickly of course and will reach 45-55 kWh/100 km (72-88 kWh/100 miles) if you really go all out as I did on a high-speed trip on the German Autobahn in January. The I-Pace real top speed is 208 km/h (130 mph), and can get there very quickly if you hammer it. The I-Pace has been a excellent drive with zero problems. Very quiet, very comfortable yet fast when you want it to be. Build and paint quality is very good, so squeaks or rattles anywhere. The lay-out of the cabin is very good, the screens have good visibility but need cleaning quite often. I keep a microfiber towel in the car for that, but this is typical of touch-screens in general. The infotainment system could have been a little faster but functions well. Voice control sometimes has difficulty understanding me. Smartphone connection has been flawless, although when I drive with my wife I have to be quick to make sure the car connects to my phone and not hers. The I-Pace is very quick car and has no problem with with almost all ICE-cars except high-end sportcars. And the faster EV's of course. It also handles very well considering it's size and weight. Only on twisty roads will you find the damping becoming over taxed. This is mainly because of the suspension setup, which is aimed at comfort, not ultimate speed. I find the trade off well worth it. Despite its capabilities, the I-Pace invites you more to a relaxed style of driving that trying to set a new A to B record. Trunk space has been more than enough for me, my wife and our two small kids (3 and 1). The frunk in the front stores little besided the cables and a first aid kit. But when driving alone, I keep the cables in the trunk for easier access. In all, the car has been an extremely good experience and I have no regrets buying it. Am actually happy I did not get the Model 3, seeing it on just about every corner by now. Update Nov-2020: The I-Pace has now done 29000 km/18K miles and still going strong, With temperatures dropping the range has decreased but I am still getting 400 km or 250 miles on a full charge. Car has had no issues whatsoever. Very happy owner!

I’ve been thinking about an EV for some time, and my Jaguar XF lease was ending. I was able to get into an 2019 HSE spec demo model that was nicely discounted. I think the best deals are on 2019 gently used models from a Jaguar dealership, where you can still get the Federal Tax credit of $7500, and you have an option to lease or purchase. The I-Pace is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever driven. The fit, finish, and technology are far superior to the 2017 XF. The HSE trim level gives you just about everything you need and want in this luxury vehicle. The best thing about this car is how it drives! Wow! Great combo of power and handling makes it a joy to drive. The compact size makes it easy to maneuver, while giving me just as much, if not more room that XF sedan. Now for the expectations. Research and know what you’re getting into before you buy or lease. The range and charging times will not make it easy for long road trips. The range will get worse in cold weather and more aggressive driving, and you’ll end up planning your commute and trips more carefully to avoid range anxiety. It’ll be hard to own this car without installing a home 240V charger. Take a few minutes and call a couple of electricians for quotes, and it will save you hundreds of dollars than if you went with the Jag recommended installers. The vehicle doesn’t come with a spare tire, and you’ll probably want to get a tire inflation repair kit (about $50). You can buy a spare from Jaguar, but there’s no place to store it, and it’ll take up space in the back. Lastly, if you go to review and comparisons, there will be endless reviews, and particularly comparisons with Other EV’s like Tesla, Audi, and the upcoming Mercedes. The two things that sold me on this I-PACE was the beautiful design and the handling/drivability. If you’re considering a vehicle in this segment, you really should consider it as an option. Update (July 2022). I’ve owned this vehicle and for 2.5 years, and I’m updating it to two star. IT still drives and performs well, but it has spent a lot of time at the dealer. Electrical problems in an EV means that if I were to do this again, I would not have leased or purchased this vehicle again. Update (Jan 2023): I've downgraded the rating further from two star to one star, because it ended up in the dealer again with significant electrical problems. After diagnostic assessment, the dealer came up with the exact same fix that didn't solve the problem before. While it still drove and performed well, when it was running, I would recommend that you stay away from this vehicle, if you are considered buying the 2019 model.

Your review is wrong, or, since they built the car you tested they fixed the problem. I bought a 2019 I-PACE in July 2019. I have the heavy regenerative braking option selected. I hardly use the brake pedal and drive almost exclusively with one pedal. The stopping power of the regenerative braking is more than enough for 90% of my braking situations. If I need emergency braking the brakes are very responsive and smooth. The car is terrific and underappreciated by the media. The power comes on quickly, quietly and acceleration is as fast as my Porsche Macan Turbo. The interior is luxurious as you would expect from a Jaguar. Great digital screens, but with just enough physical buttons to keep you off of the touchscreen when driving. I've had over 60 cars in my lifetime, including many Mercedes, Porsches, corvettes, and Jaguars, and this car is the best so far. Update: a year later with the car and I'm as high on it as I was when I wrote this review. Update: I've now had the car for 3 1/2 years and it has about 22,000 miles on it. It's my daily driver. It has required almost no maintenance, other than the two-year routine intervals. Its performance has not changed--it's exciting to drive, but comfortable and luxurious. Friends who have Teslas complain about having to use the big iPad for everything. Jaguar has balanced touchscreen functions with multiple real buttons and switches. I bought the car out of the lease, and I'll keep it until the warranty expires in a year and a half--I'm still not sure I want to own it after that, but who knows? I have a deposit on a Rivian SUV, but the long delays in delivery have me thinking of another iPace when the time comes. I've seen no new EV's that I would prefer to the Jag. Update: I've now owned my iPace for more than four years. I bought it out of the lease--good price and low miles on the car. It remains the most satisfying car to drive that I have owned. I've had very few reasons to take to the dealer other than routine maintenance and some software upgrades. The car handles extremely well and accelerates faster than my Macan or our MB 550SL. I remain perplexed as to why Jaguar failed to market the car which is a better vehicle than anything made by BMW, MB, or Tesla. It has an eight-year warranty on the battery so I'll probably hang on to it for a couple more years.

Yes, Edmunds didn't have the car they were test driving in the correct regen braking setting! In HIGH REGEN the car responds perfectly with true one pedal driving. You let off the 'gas' pedal and it dramatically slows down to where you need a faint tap on the brake to come to a full stop. When I drive my wife's MBZ 300 GLC the difference in both power and braking is striking. Driving the I-Pace is like BUTTER on the road; smooth, it sticks to the road like marmalade on toast and the acceleration AT SPEED is a jolt! However, driving in the ECO setting, when I need a charge I consistently peak AT 257 MILES per charge!! Richard de Forest Coto de Caza, CA
