Jaguar I-PACE now smarter and offers faster charging

The Jaguar I-PACE - the world's first premium all-electric performance SUV - now offers a new fast, intuitive infotainment system and quicker charging capability, making owning and driving an electric vehicle easier than ever.

With two Jaguar-designed electric motors at each axle, producing exceptional combined performance of 395bhp and 696Nm of torque, aluminium construction and a low centre of gravity, the I-PACE offers an unrivalled balance of all-wheel drive performance together with outstanding real-world range and day-to-day usability.

The I-PACE now comes with an 11kW on-board charger as standard, enabling customers with access to three-phase electricity supplies to enjoy significantly faster charging. When connected to an 11kW wall box, a charging rate of 54km of range per hour can be achieved, while a full charge from empty now takes only 8.6 hours - ideal for overnight charging at home. With a range of up to 470km from its 90kWh battery, I-PACE needs charging once a week with average use. 

A range calculation tool on on Jaguar's website makes it easy to see how factors such as vehicle speed, ambient temperature and climate control settings can influence the real-world range you could expect to achieve.

Every home charging point from Jaguar's recommended partners comes smart enabled, meaning you can conveniently activate and deactivate you charging progress straight from your smart phone. When charging in public places, the I-PACE's charging cable locks into place as soon as the car is locked, and cannot be disconnected until the vehicle is unlocked, giving you the freedom to go about your day while the vehicle charges up.

With a focus on air quality, occupant well-being is prioritised, with cabin air ionisation now featuring PM2.5 filtration to capture ultrafine airborne particles and allergens. The I-PACE can even filter its cabin air before a journey begins.

The new Pivi Pro infotainment system is a highlight of the I-PACE's spacious, luxurious interior. The 12.3-inch high-definition virtual instrument cluster, 10.0-inch and 5.0-inch upper and lower touchscreens, and multi-function haptic rotary controllers are matched to crisp graphics for an engaging user experience.

Inspired by smartphones, Pivi Pro is easy to use, while its powerful processor and 'fast start-up' ensures the system is ready to go by the time you're in the driving seat. Supported by a built-in back-up battery, navigation initialisation takes just a few seconds. The I-PACE is now available with an optional wireless device charging pad beneath the 'floating' centre console. Wireless charging also includes signal boosting, ensuring the phone's signal remains stronger for longer.

Customers need no longer be concerned about data usage or buying a SIM card, as the I-PACE comes with a dual modem embedded SIM and complimentary 4G data plan that enables unlimited music streaming and map, weather, calendar and traffic updates simultaneously.

Visibility is significantly enhanced with the addition of a 3D Surround Camera system as standard, which provides a 360-degree digital plan view of the surrounding area and potential hazards, visible through the central touchscreen.

Inside the cabin, the ClearSight rear view mirror improves vision and convenience as it uses a wide-angle, rear-facing camera linked to a high-resolution screen within the frameless glass mirror. Neatly integrated within the roof-mounted antenna module, the high-definition camera works in all conditions, including low ambient light, while a protective lip and hydrophobic coating help to repel water and ensure the camera lens remains as clean as possible.
