All the cars in this category are all designed with an eye firmly trained on the future. With the accelerating concerns about global warming and the need to reduce carbon emissions, car manufacturers have all come around to the importance of electrification.
That said, different companies have adopted very different approaches to the matter of electrification. For Jaguar, it is the I-PACE Electric, the brand's first ever electric production model.
The I-PACE cleverly embodies many of the current automotive trends – it's a crossover, it's high-tech, and it's got plenty of driver assistance technologies.
The electric powertrain, with 696Nm of instant torque, makes for frenetic acceleration quite alarming for a car this size. That, combined with the car's lower centre of gravity and assured handing ability, means that the I-PACE is a surprisingly fun car to drive as well.
The I-PACE also delivers a high level of luxury. The cabin features a futuristic design, with premium materials and high levels of practicality and comfort as well.
In this category, the I-PACE stands out because it proves that the future of electro-mobility does not have to be boring, generic or uninspired. By combining sharp looks and futuristic luxury with good range and a fun drive, the I-PACE is a worthy winner, and a heartening example of what's to come in the future.
