NEW Jaguar I-Pace 2022 in-depth EV review - do these updates make it better than ever? | What Car?

[@trevorpen]

I have had mine for over 2.5 years can't rate it high enough, completely reliable, every time i enter the vehicle I think how lucky I am.

[@johnc108]

Genuine question; how often do you drive 200-240 miles in one go? I read that motorway range really is not good

[@trevorpen]

@@johnc108 Motorway driving does have a impact on range but I tend to avoid them for several reasons. 200 miles is achievable in the winter on motorways is driving within the speed limit. Rural driving is great in the I pace 240 plus miles in the summer.

[@WilliamPorter-le8ft]

I have had my i-Pace for nearly 18 months and it is everything I hoped it would be and more : a pleasure to drive, practicle, completely problem free and the most stylish looking car I have ever owned. We have driven from Edinburgh to the south east of England several times and range has never been a problem. My only problem has been with the charging network but sensible planning has avoided any emergencies. Best car I have ever owned by a country mile.

[@aidanwilson6035]

Still the most stylish electric vehicle available especially compared to that bloated generic design of the BMW , can't believe Jag scrapped the XJ just before the planned reveal date , they will have to work flat out to become all-electric by 2025 !.

[@syundown6005]

I'm torn between this car and the e-tron sportback... But imo I lean towards the Sportback because I love the fastback look it gives off and I just think the rear looks sleeker.

[@RazorlitexX]

Quite possibly the best car I've owned and driven. Just need to sort out the charger network, it is shocking. This is not a jag problem but rather the useless ev charger supplier networks that dominate the UK landscape.

[@Kellric7]

I have my SE for 6 months now and it’s such a pleasure to drive and travel ! Really amazing car ! As practical as fun to drive actually.

[@stephenclay6852]

A really nice car. I do like the design but some of the options to me should be standard on a car costing £65.000. But as you say if your prepared to look at a none premium badge car you can get a lot more for your money keep an eye on the new Kia Ev range starting with the new Ev6. As for Tesla yes the supercharger network is brilliant but the build of the car is not as good as the Jaguar. And as an Ev drive myself you really don’t use public chargers as often as you think most charging is done from home unless you are covering a long distance. So my advice is don’t get hooked on the supercharger buy the car you won’t not the charging format. And public chargers are getting better and more prolific day by day.

I like my 2018 FPace diesel but drool over the iPace when my car gets serviced once a year.

My next vehicle will be all electric, but I'm waiting for better range. In Canada the iPace is overpriced.

The only system I've used regularly which has a snap equal to an iPad is the Tesla. On the flipside, in the Tesla (Model 3/Y), it BETTER be snappy because you need to it to do every single thing in the car, like... open the friggin' glove box. Press menu, press another menu, press glovebox. Survey says... BZZT!

[@sevensixtysteve8662]

Great review thank you, one of my fav EVs.

[@garethwilliams976]

Great review and car! Sadly I won't buy electric until the manufacturers sort out charging points. I insist on all cars using the same standard charging plug, that all charging stations use that plug and allow a quarter full charge in 15 minutes. Lastly that all charging stations allow payment by any card without having to attach the card or use an app just as with petrol. Only then will electric cars become viable. Otherwise you are limited in range to your home overnight charge. Up to the manufacturers and government to get together and insist on standardisation.

I do believe governments will eventually have to step in and reduce the touch screen nonsense.

But, more expensive of course than a single screen programmed to suit.

Still love it, but you get the feeling now - 3 years on - that Jaguar need to address a few issues with i-PACE... notably range and recharging. I think it could do with another 50 miles, personally! Great looker though. I’d be honoured to be able to have that on my drive.

[@scottwills4698]

It’s much better on the 18” wheels. I got 240 miles range in one with 50 miles left on the GOM. I think Jaguar make a mistake putting the press cars on the bigger wheels (I just noticed in the video they’ve dropped the 18” wheels🤦🏻‍♂️).

Probably the best looking of the pure SUVs, and I'm not a fan of the format. Where it really scores is in its off-road ability [which this video doesn't remotely cover] in which it is practically second to none. It goes up steep hillsides without effort, which would make its cousin ICE Land-Rover think twice about. And reliability? It's electric. There's a minimum to go wrong.

[@charleswillcock3235]

I was looking at the sales figures for EV's and Jaguar did not feature. Hence I came on to KZbin to see if they had actually got any electric cars to sell. I do sincerely hope they can crank up the volumes of electric vehicles. I live near the old Longbridge site which is now a retail park. If the UK is to prosper we need our own Tesla. .

I do not understand at all the comparison of this Jaguar with Mercedes, BMW and Audi, which were not developed as EV vehicles from the beginning, but are cars developed on chassis with internal combustion engines and converted into EV vehicles, it is cheaper and worse and the buyer still pays more and realistically gets less for those German vehicles.

[@simmybear31]

You really need to mention more often the detrimental effect that 'fast charging' has on batteries. The more charge you force in over a short period considerably reduces the life of all lithium ion batteries, this is a known phenomenon and will mean a lot of potentially problematic second hand EV purchases over the next few years.

[@iseptimus]

Fast charging to 80% only. In reality it should stop at 65%, but you have 8 years of warranty and getting to the point of effective recycling.

[@Hirotoro4692]

This was debunked years ago after Nissan leafs which are being used by taxi drivers who rapid charge daily are still reporting very healthy batteries I'm not saying it doesn't have an impact, but the impact is nowhere near as bad as you think

Doesn't seem to affect cars with good quality batteries. You get what you pay for.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 will really hurt the ipace sales. Around half the price with better range and twice the charging speed.

[@jamiebray4205]

Whilst some buyers will choose charging speed and range as a deciding factor for their purchase, the I-pace is a luxury EV, competing with the Audi E tron and Mercedes GLC. The Kia and Hyundai whilst probably great Evs are deffinately not in the luxury segment. The entry level Hyundai that you mentioned is around half the price is also twice as slow.. They are indirect competitors, but the hyundai in real world can only manage another 30-40 miles range over the I-pace.

Both are luxury performance vehicles, that’s why. They’re in the same class. Now you answer my question: Why aren’t Mercedes owners looking at Renaults? Or... Why did Hyundai create a separate brand for its luxury cars: Genesis? Oh and no, 😂, the Ioniq and EV6 aren’t better cars than the iPace. You only see what you see because you’re not wealthy enough to buy an iPace the way you would an Ioniq or EV6.

The frunk, or froot, is great for keeping your charging cables without needing to lift up everything in the boot to get to them. Nice for travelling. Or if you're paying for parking anyway, and you're staying a while, why not fill up the battery while you're at it? Not so easy if your charging cable is under a bunch of luggage in the under-floor storage compartment in the back. I do keep the emergency charger in there, but I've never used it.

Basically I could pay something like €80,000 for a car I could use for four days before it would be dead to me. No thanks.

[@beastieboy3926]

I have been looking at the possible residual value after a few yrs,and I am concerned.Jag,as with others offer 8 yr or 100000 miles warranty on the battery ,which sounds good.However,after some research,I found the cost to replace battery will be in excess of £15000.To my mind this means very few ppl will want to buy an 8 yr old example,unless it is very cheap.It is reasonable to assume that the value will start to decline steeply from about 5,or 6 yrs old. On reflection,unless the car is on pcp for 3or 4 yrs from new,it is a poor buy in the longterm.In addition ,if this is the case,it doesn`t sit well with the saving of energy ideology,as it will have a life expectancy of only 10 to 15 yrs.

[@Hirotoro4692]

That's not how it works, they don't just scrap the entire car. The old batteries get recycled. And 8 years from now, new batteries won't cost the same as they do today

[@charlesbridgford254]

So for a quarter of the cost of a new car, you can replace the most expensive component. Seems like a good deal. I guess that's why old Nissan Leafs are getting re-batteried rather than scrapped.
