THE JOYFUL T
JAGUAR I-PACE SE ALL ELECTRIC CAR
he
Jaguar I-PACE SE was delivered in its own individual trailer by a very nice chap and we admired the grey and black styling together as he winched
the impressive looking car onto my drive. It’s clearly not photogenic as it looks better in the flesh, much lower and sportier than you’d expect. It resembles a Paris Dakar rally car more than an SUV, so I was very much looking forward to taking this on a distance test the next day. A 200 mile hike up North to see if it has range enough to be practical as well as luxurious.
The Jaguar I-Pace does 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds, has regenerative disk braking, two electric motors with all wheel drive, 400PS or 395 BHP with 90kWh batteries and a maximum speed of 124mph. My SE model had 20”, 6 spoke wheels, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, high speed emergency braking and blind spot assist.
The exterior is muscly without being
overbearing. In fact this car feels medium size from the outside, but incredibly roomy on the inside, with a refined futuristic body shape that eschews the larger pumped up SUV. There is a sizeable bonnet hood vent that is used for downforce and adds a little character. The side window line starts low at the front and sweeps down, then up to the rear, imparting a lovely forward motion even a rest. It is a subtly impressive car that will get noticed on the second look and will age well.
