Jaguar is all set to launch the I-Pace SUV on March 23. The car has been available internationally for a while now and it will finally find its way to India. With the launch just a day away, here’s all you need to know about the all-electric SUV.
Design
The I-Pace gets a smooth flowing design right from head to tail. The front features a prominent grille flanked by sleek LED headlamps and some aggressive looking air intakes. The headlamps themselves can be optioned with a Matrix function as well so you don’t have to be worried about blinding oncoming traffic. The rear too gets a fairly aggressive look with the LED tail lamps and a very coupe-esque roofline.
Powertrain
The I-Pace is powered by a 90 kWh lithium-ion battery capable of 480 km of range from full charge. It gets a motor on each axle which together contribute to 394 PS of power and 696 Nm of torque. 0-100 km/h can be achieved in 4.8 seconds and the SUV can reach a top speed of 200 km/h.
The I-Pace also gets a fast-charging time of 45 minutes from empty to 80 percent. The tie-up with Tata Power means you will have access to over 200 Tata Power charging stations in 23 cities across the country.
Interiors
The inside of I-Pace is a lot more futuristic than the exterior would lead you to believe. You get the company’s latest Pivi Pro infotainment system – one screen for your basic infotainment and the other for climate control. Expect connected car tech as well. The infotainment screen in a 10-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There is a 16-speaker Meridian 3D surround sound system, wireless charging, a PM2.5 air filter, panoramic sunroof and many other luxuries.
Driving aids and safety
The I-Pace comes fully loaded here, too. You get a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, head-up display and adaptive cruise control. Safety-wise, you get six airbags, ABS, ESC, emergency brake assist, front and rear parking sensors and a 360-degree camera.
