Since its inception, I-PACE has won over 80 awards worldwide, including the 2019 World Car of the Year titles, World Car Design of the Year, and the World Car Design of the Year. World Green Car (Green Car of the Year), reinforcing its prestige as the Jaguar which has shaken all habits to become the first and the best electric car in its category.With its two electric motors designed by Jaguar, located on each axle , and giving the exceptional combined power of 400 hp and 696 Nm, its aluminum structure and its very low center of gravity, the I-PACE offers a unique balance between all-wheel drive vehicle driving, refinement, luxury, agility - all of this combined with remarkable autonomy in real conditions of use and real practicality in everyday life.

The I-PACE at a glance

The Jaguar I-PACE is now equipped with even more technology to make life simpler and more rewarding than ever with an electric vehicle. It is the first Jaguar to offer the new Pivi Pro infotainment system. As intuitive to use as a Smartphone, Pivi Pro is fast and practical with an improved navigation system, specific to EV, capable of specifying the availability of nearby charging stations, their prices and how long it will take to recharge ( depending on the market).

The I-PACE now has an 11 kW on-board charger as standard, which allows users with access to three-phase electricity to recharge significantly faster: with the connection to an 11 kW wall terminal, every hour of charging. recharging provides a range of 53 km, while a full recharge, completely empty batteries, only requires 8 hours 40 '- a period ideally suited to recharging at home. Users in single-phase current zones, with a 7 kW charger, also benefit from competitive recharging possibilities - up to 35 km of range in one hour and a full recharge in 12 hours 45 '. As for recharging during the journey, it provides 63 km of autonomy in 15 minutes, while a 100 kW charger will give you at the same time 127 km of autonomy.

With particular attention to air quality, the well-being of passengers is a priority. The ionization of the air in the passenger compartment now allows filtering at 2,5 micrometers, to trap fine particles and allergens. The I-PACE can even filter the cabin before the start of the trip.

The grille now finished in Atlas Gray brings even more elegance to the car. Customers have an extensive exterior color chart and an optional new Bright Pack, available on all versions of the I-PACE range.

“We developed the I-PACE to make it the most desirable electric vehicle in the world, we wanted to show what it means when Jaguar goes electric. I think we have reached these ambitious goals, and now we are finalizing them with the group's new infotainment system, the three-phase charger and a technological leap that benefits both the driver and his passengers.

We have also subtly improved the design with this grille in the Atlas Gray finish and with the new Bright Pack option. The I-PACE was already the first 100% electric performance SUV; all the changes we have made guarantee that it remains the benchmark in its category. "

The I-PACE: review of details

More elegant, faster and better connected:

One of the highlights of the I-PACE's spacious and luxurious interior is the new Pivi Pro infotainment system. The 12,3-inch high-definition screen, which receives virtual instrumentation, the 10-inch and 5-inch upper and lower touch screens, the multifunction haptic rotary joysticks, all this is combined with modern, sharp and precise visuals to build the feeling of intuitive and instant control.

Inspired by smartphones, Pivi Pro is easy to use, while its powerful, quick-setting processor ensures that the system is ready for use the moment you get behind the wheel. Provided by a built-in battery, the initialization of navigation takes only a few seconds.

The new and intuitive menu organization makes navigation easier, with the functions you use most commonly accessible with a click from the home screen. The redefined navigation menu halves the number of steps when setting the destination and the user can now enlarge the map or specify a point with a finger gesture, just like with a smartphone.

I-PACE is now available with a wireless charging pad, placed below the “hanging” center console. Wireless charging also includes a signal booster, ensuring that the phone's signal stays sharper, longer. A smartphone pack including Apple CarPlay® comes as standard, as well as Bluetooth technology which can connect two phones at the same time, ensuring you are always connected. The Smartphone Pack also includes Android Auto ™ and Baidu CarLife, standard depending on the market.

Customers no longer have to worry about the available data volume or buy a SIM card, because the I-PACE comes with an integrated double modem (eSIM) and an additional 4G data volume which allows unlimited streaming via Spotify, Deezer or Tunin, ensuring the simultaneous updating of the map, weather, calendar and traffic ***.

The new Pivi Pro infotainment system helps you reach your destination in less time with less effort. The navigation uses self-learning algorithms to optimize the guidance, the voice announcements know how to remain silent when you cross a known area and the maps are constantly updated thanks to the software-over-the-air (SOTA) functionality.

To further simplify the process, Pivi Pro is able to automatically add charging stations to your route, if necessary. The system selects the best terminals to reduce the overall travel time. During the longest journeys, Pivi Pro also tells you your level of charge expected at each stage. ****

“The Pivi Pro infotainment system makes it easier to use public networks of charging stations. In addition to indicating their location, it can also tell you if the stations are available, what the prices are, and estimate the time it will take you to recharge. We know that most customers charge their I-PACE at home, but we wanted it to be just as easy to recharge during the journey - and this is what our new infotainment system allows. "

Driving assistance and well-being:

The I-PACE has been designed to protect you and your family and has received the maximum score of five stars in the EuroNCAP security test.

Cutting-edge digital technologies are helping the driver and passengers even more. Visibility is significantly improved by the new 3D surround camera which provides a 360 ° view of the surroundings and potential dangers, projected on the Central touch screen.

In the passenger compartment, the ClearSight rear view mirror improves visibility and driving comfort by constantly guaranteeing drivers perfect rear vision, even with three passengers in the rear seat, and even if the 656-liter luggage compartment is loaded up to at the roof.

ClearSight uses a rear-facing wide-angle camera, linked to a high-resolution screen in the borderless mirror. A simple gesture of swiping on the mirror allows the driver to switch without delay from normal vision to the projection of the camera view.

Perfectly integrated in the antenna module placed on the roof, the high resolution camera works in all conditions, including in low light, while a protective lip and a water-repellent coating helps to ward off water and maintain the lens as clean as possible.

Each passenger benefits from improved air conditioning that distributes heating or fresh air intelligently and economically according to four independent zones. The ionization of ambient air, designed to ward off allergens, also includes a filter system that traps ultrafine particles - including those of 2,5 micrometers - to improve the health and well-being of occupants. The new filtering system has the important advantage of being able, during charging, to use the air preconditioning system (which best manages the temperature of the battery) to purge the passenger compartment of allergens and fine particles before I even start the journey.

A wider choice for the customer:

In addition to the new Atlas Gray grille finish, the luxurious Bright Pack is now available as an option on the entire I-PACE range. The Bright Pack adds to the magnificent design of the I-PACE a Noble Chrome grille surround, Atlas Gray exterior mirror caps, Satin Chrome window frames and the Atlas Gray rear diffuser. The new Black Pack option is improved by applying a glossy black finish to the engine, model and Jaguar leaper logos.

The revised color chart now includes colors such as Caldera Red, Portofino Blue or Eiger Gray.

Customers can also benefit from an optional Meridian 3D Surround sound system with TrifieldTM technology. This system has two additional speakers in the roof, which brings the installation to 16 speakers, plus a subwoofer, so as to deliver exceptional sensations to all passengers.
