Jaguar I-Pace - 5 Year Ownership Review & A Fond Farewell!

[@andrewpalmer999]

Your videos were an important part of why I bought an I-Pace and were extremely useful for getting to know my first electric car which was a MY68 SE. I am now on my second I-Pace, a MY21 HSE, and I still love driving it. I live near Portsmouth and have done quite a few long trips without problems and next month will be doing the NC500 which might prove a little challenging! Thank you for all the help and advice you have provided over the years, and good luck with you new car, I'll be looking out for the video.

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Wow. I’m always a bit surprised when people tell me my videos influenced their decision to buy an I-Pace. It’s truly flattering. The NC500 will be interesting and definitely a challenge! But well worth it. Good luck!

[@andrewpalmer999]

Hi, I've been constantly checking for a video about your new car but haven't found anything. Am I missing something or haven't you posted anything? My I-Pace is still great and I don't think I'll be selling it anytime soon, the depreciation has been horrendous but holding onto it for longer will make it better value in the long-term. I did the NC500 as planned in early September last year and it was fantastic! I planned well as I assumed I would find lots of chargers not working which would probably mean queues at ones that were. But that was not the case at all, I only found one charger not working and I didn't queue at all. I had a CPS card (vital!) and although most of the chargers were pretty old and 50kW they weren't a problem. I even found a couple of chargers that were very cheap and I assumed they would be broken or busy but no, I drove up, plugged straight in, and they worked perfectly. The I-Pace was an amazing car for the trip, so easy to drive, effortless on the steep climbs and descents, and very comfortable.

[@andrewpalmer999]

@@alexthebot6713 Not really, I had the heater fail (very common) which was changed under warranty. A 2019 one will probably have had the heater replaced with the newer version. I would definitely only buy a Jaguar Approved one, repairs could be crazily expensive. Shortly after I bought my 2021 HSE the prices plummeted and I-Paces are really good value for money now. I'm still loving mine, go for it 🙂

[@Fluffysmummy]

Hi ADD, Your comments about the I-Pace are spot on. We're a few months behind you, and we will have had our I-Pace for 4 years this September. Like you maintenance/faults for us have been very minimal. Your early videos on Timed Charging and the Siri Shortcuts were absolutely excellent, and I'm sure helped out a lot of people. Like you we use Wireless CarPlay and the whole driving experience over the last four years has been brilliant. Thanks again for all your help over the years, and we wish you well with your new wheels. Best regards - Nigel

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Is this Nigel from the forums? Thanks for watching and I’m glad you found the videos useful. It’s truly been an amazing car for me and I will miss it. But onwards and upwards!

Great to see you’re well, about to return my 2019 SE at the end of this month after a 4 year lease. I would agree with pretty much everything you said. I am going for a Hyundai IONIQ 5 AWD as the next car, faster charging and better efficiency are things I looked out for, plus I get cameras and HUD which were not on my iPace. Looking forward to seeing what you go for next - I enjoy your video style, so please continue!

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Ioniq 5 is a great car. I’ve driven one and it’s very nice. And great charging! Good choice.

Ive just bought one and i can wholeheartedly agree. Its fabulous and i enjoy every time i drive it.

[@j.williamkay2771]

Good to hear from you again, and many thanks for informative and engaging I-Pace videos over the past few years! Viewed avidly whilst waiting for ours, which we took delivery of at the end of 2019. Range, as you say, is fine. Our longest trip so far was 5500 km from Norway to Yorkshire, through Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Netherlands. After that, we have no qualms at all about setting off on new long distance trips. Enjoy your new car, and hopefully it will make you as happy as the Jag has done!

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Wow! That’s an impressive trip! Would love to do a drive like that but if I ever do, it won’t be in the Jag. Thanks and I hope you’re still loving yours.

Dude! It’s been 5 months! What new car did you go with?

[@ianbenjamin363]

It's been a long time. Good to see you again. I have to agree with you. It is the best car that I have ever owned. I love the looks and love driving mine. Range is not an issue (220 miles for mine). I am interested in the new car as I have not yet found anything to replace mine with. I think the Jag has spoiled me.

Thanks! I know what you mean. I was feeling the same way but found a car which got me just as excited as the Jag did. Not long to wait now!

[@garyscott5722]

Nice to hear from you again, you and Garry were a great source of help in my early ownership. Sad to hear you are moving on, as I recall this was a car you were going to keep for a very long time. I fully concur with your view of the car I have just got my second I Pace being a Sport for most of the same reasons. On the charging issue I would rather have the car I like than some of the click bait efficiency claims which are not always relevant like fast charging it can only happen when many things align. I have noted that whilst they maintain the 100kw charge rate they have altered the charging curve so it charges faster for longer and that does seem to be the case on the road.

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Hi. I was originally planning to keep the car 6 years (I was thinking that the 8 year battery warranty would help with trade in value where waiting 7 or more might make it more difficult to sell). But I jumped a year early. There was a process that lead me into it and before you knew it I was buying a car! I’ll explain the process in the next video in the intro.

[@garyscott5722]

@@AbuDhabiDude I look forward to it. I was moving away from I Pace this year but a certain jaguar VIP event and a lot of negotiation and the full inclusive spec of the Sport brought me back I have so far no regrets.

I-Pace is still a great car, no doubt at all. Congrats!

[@cuffyuk]

Appreciated your videos in the early days of my I Pace. My lease went back 6 weeks ago. Replaced mine with a VW Buzz. Different type of car but still very happy.

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Wow! That’s a very different vehicle! Well done! I love the Buzz, even if it’s not something I’d choose for myself. I can still appreciate the design and styling of it. It’s a great vehicle and I suspect it will end up being a bit of a “sleeper success” for VW. Pity the camper has been put on hold but hopefully they’ll resolve their issues with that soon. Which version did you get?

[@cuffyuk]

@@AbuDhabiDude got a first edition so the majority of the options ticked. I did worry that it would feel a big step down from the I pace but just a step side ways. Slower to drive but a significantly superior charge curve for the long journeys.

Very nice. I have yet to see one in person but looking forward to seeing them around. Good choice!

[@redshift3]

A great car. I just bought mine from the lease company after 3 years of happy motoring, Not the most competitive price, but it was very much a known quantity. As so many have said, the best car I have ever owned.

[@kevinpatrick6273]

Much appreciated! I’ve had my HSE since January, 2019 and have similar sentiments. But instead of Scotland, my experiences have been centered around my home town of Del Mar, California where I live. If I have one critique of your summary review it’s that you don’t have a section that specifically relates to the overall performance and handling of the i-PACE. Perhaps you have taken that for granted as many of have. It is just simply a wonderful car in that regard. Straight up. Flat out. Full speed ahead. When I am on a freeway here, if I’d rather be ‘over there up ahead’ than where I am, it’s almost magical that I just press the accelerator and confidently steer to that spot and - voila! There I am. In an instant. I don’t know if or how my next car will replicate that. But I sure hope it does!

[@AbuDhabiDude]

You know, when I was editing the video I realised that I hadn’t spoken about the driving experience which was weird as that’s it’s strongest point! I think in my head I was just thinking “well everyone knows how phenomenal it is to drive”. That’s my excuse anyway! I agree completely. The beauty of the I-Pace is that it’s not an EV which is also a Jag, it’s a Jag which is also an EV.

[@kevinpatrick6273]

It would be a bit of ‘preaching to the choir’ if you dwelled on the Jaguar-like performance! In any case, you have us all wondering about your new car! Perhaps you can kick that series of with a comparison of its performance characteristics to your Jag.

Good to hear from you again Alex, I have always enjoyed watching your videos as I got my I-Pace First Edition in January 2019 so I have been on the same journey as you ( like trying to get the old chargers to work ) For me its been the most enjoyable car I have owned, and I don't know yet what would replace it. So it will be interesting to see your reviews of your 'Smart' new car. I also have the NC500 on my bucket list of places to see, you are very lucky having great scenery near you. Best Wishes and Happy EV driving Nick.

Hi Nick! Thanks for that. Yeah the old chargers are still a challenge. Spent an hour today helping someone out with the same problem. Don’t be giving people clues now!🤣

[@nickph1357]

Yes I enjoy the friendly chats while charging and helping new ev drivers to start the chargers. I wish some of them would do some homework but it does pass the time while your charging. Sorry was talking to Garry.

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Well watch this space. All may not be what it appears!😉

[@MrJtedds]

Intrigued to hear which new EV you go for...thanks for the insights . My First Edition HSE also on 22s but in summer I can get 230-240 miles if really needed. I still get 200+ in winter. As you say, rarely an issue and the driving experience usually comes first :) Only minor (free under warranty) repairs I've had are charge flap actuator motor (just gone for 2nd time but an 18 plate, in for half day) and compressor valve for air suspension (1 hour repair on driveway). The car is nearly always plugged in for solar top ups so the charge flap area is usually open, increasing exposure to the elements. Servicing v cheap as you say, sub £200 at main dealers every couple of years or so. Extended warranty, Jaguar Assist recommended given cost of parts etc, though c.£870 per year not cheap. Worth it given how cheap servicing is. Tyres my biggest expense (replaced with same P Zeros) as kerbing in cities easy on the 22s and I think the weight of the vehicle means a little higher wear and tear eg. on outsides when cornering. All replaced by now. I've driven a few other EVs and nothing has come close yet... especially with 2 little ones often on board in the back. They have a nice high position in car seats and get great views with the Pano roof. Planning to keep mine for foreseeable. Cheers, Jonny

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Thank you. Sounds like we’ve had similar experiences. The car has been a joy to own. Truly. Weirdly I’ve suffered a lot of punctures with mine. Not sure why but I must have had to buy about 6 tyres due to punctures.

Would love to know what you are replacing it with. I wanted to buy an approved used I Pace but keep reading horror stories about JLR Dealerships which is putting me off.

[@chrisarcher7628]

T thank you so much for your vlogs. I have been with you since the start. I purchased my First Edition, also with 22” wheels, in March 2019 and I have loved driving the car. I agree with you about almost everything you say in this video including that it is the best car that I have ever owned. Having said that I am very disappointed with the lack of technology updates from JLR. Charging at 100kW is now not competitive and like you I will be replacing my IPace next year before the warranty expires with another brand of vehicle. I haven’t yet decided what that will be and I guess that I’m still hopeful that JLR will announce something new given that they committed to be an all EV manufacturer by 2025. I would love to buy another Jag but sadly I don’t think that is going to happen. This must be a concern for JLR given that the IPace was world car of the year in 2019. I discovered recently that JLR have only sold around 8000 IPaces in North America (around 6000 in the US) which is tragic. I hope that they can get their act together soon because Jaguar has been an iconic brand for many years. I look forward to hearing about your new vehicle and you may well influence my next purchase as I have great respect for your comments.

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Hi and thank you so much for those kind words! Yeah the lack of updates is a little disappointing to be honest, although I’d be unlikely to buy another I-Pace just because I like to have something different. I’ve never bought the same car twice! But for Jaguar’s sake it would have been nice to see some updates but also one or two more EVs added to the stable. Nothing in the last 5 years is not exactly stellar! I wouldn’t hold out too much hope if you’re looking to change next year. I know Jaguar have a few upcoming vehicle announcements but I think the first one into production will be in 2025 (and I wouldn’t be surprised if that slipped a bit towards very late 25 or early 26 even). If you’re in the market for next year I think you’re looking at another I-Pace or a different brand. With respect to Jaguar’s I-Pace sales in NA, it’s never been a strong market for the brand for some reason, so I think they’re probably happy with 8,000 total! It’s certainly sold much better in Europe and is becoming a very popular car in the UK. I’m the last week my next door neighbour and a work colleague have both bought new I-Paces. So probably a good time to sell!🤣 My new car has been delayed a little but I am now expecting it in 2-4 weeks time (mid September). Fingers crossed it wont be further delayed but I know the car has definitely been built so it’s just shipping and customs clearance now.

[@hemmarket]

I have a '22 I-Pace, a full charge gives it 262 miles range. The '24 gets 292 miles, so I'm waiting for that update. Mine went from 232 to 262 on last update. Only had it 4 months, and getting around 3.5 kwh per mile. I drive mostly in Dynamic. Has rear climate control, sunshade, HUD, Meridan Stereo, Clearview Rearview mirror with live view and 360 camera. Every car is HSE now, so lots of features. Best car ever, and could never go back to gasoline. All this talk about range anxiety when it is RARELY an issue. Who runs their car down to 0 %, and charges up to a 100 % in the real world ? Most days I arrive home with 55% - 65% or more and use a home charger overnight. Range complaints are way overblown. 99% of people on a day-to-day basis will never need 200 miles, let alone 400+ range. I drive past gas stations and repair shops and smile !! No anxiety at all ! Great video, thanks !!!

[@foolcellsorryfuelcellmirag4835]

Great videos over the years. The second hand market for ipace have some great deals. Would you advise a used ipace or buy a new ev??

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Thank you! The answer is really “it depends”. There are some great prices out there on used I-Paces at the moment, with plenty of battery and drivetrain warranty still to run. Buying approved used from Jag gives a peace of mind warranty on the rest of the vehicle. They’ve also been doing deals lately (free charger and £1000 finance contribution) at certain dealers. You’ll also take less of a hit on depreciation compared to a new car. But some people just want to buy new. I really believe the I-Pace is a great car and mine has been really reliable. But it’s the kind of car where any faults will likely be expensive. A new car has an upfront cost and greater depreciation, but the peace of mind of a long warranty. I’m buying new but second hand actually makes a lot more logical sense really!

Can’t go wrong either way. I got lucky and found a used, low mileage, top spec 2019 IPace and bought it. Good choice given the price difference.

Check it out.

Next time, 2nd hand or not I'll definitely be buying one.

It really is Jag at their best. I’d argue that it’s one of the most important cars Jag has ever produced. A second hand one is a real bargain at the moment.

I took the plunge and bought a MY21 I-Pace EV 320 a couple of weeks ago. Was looking at a few First Edition models because they became very cheap here (Netherlands), but this one came up for sale at only a little price bump. It still has 2 years of manufacturer's warranty, so I am not too concerned. The car is truly amazing to drive and even at less power and torque than the 400 version it still accelerates fast enough for me. Also from MY21 (i guess) the new Pivi pro infotainment system is installed, which is a welcome update over the older version. This model also has an 11kw onboard charger instead of the 7kw of the older versions, which is a great benefit for us here in the Netherlands

You’ve ordered a Fisker? Weird that they wouldn’t replace your TCU. I’m not sure why that would be. There have been a few upgrades to the I-Pace but they’re all relatively minor to be honest. Certainly nothing to get too excited about, as I said in the video. I’m unconvinced about Pivi Pro in all honesty although the permanent soft buttons while CarPlay is active are nice. Loss of your local dealer would be a big issue for sure though.

The lower screen is an option now. It is still available on higher trim levels and as an option on the base model, but they removed the option to show media on it, which is my main use case for it. Sounds like you had pretty awful service in relation to that data fault. I wouldn’t have been happy with that either. Sorry to hear it.

Hi First time watcher,just come across your channel. I was thinking of getting a used I Pace,for all the reasons you have outlined, especially the looks. But,I think the Tesla model 3 long range is more tempting for range and efficiency ,aswell as the supercharging availability. 37:52

Just sold mine after 5 years did 70,000 miles lost a fortune. it sold for £18,000 :( I got a Model Y tesla, its not as fast or as nice to drive. It is great to arrive in Fortwilliam and charge at 260Kw for a short while and get 100 miles of range in 7 minuets. Looking forward to hearing what you get next.

Yes resale values have taken a hit lately but I think that’s the case pretty much across the board to be honest. That’s partly why I’m selling now, while there’s still some decent value left in it. Always been the case that most high end cars lose value faster, but it still hurts when the time comes!
