Jaguar I-PACE Electric

Bought the HSE first edition recently, and I must say, it really ticked all boxes for me.

Nice looking, checked.

Fast, checked.

Nice handling, checked.

Practicality for family, checked.

Technology, checked.

Luxurious, checked.

What more can I ask for? Perhaps having wireless carplay and TPMS would be good. (I believe these are available in the newer versions, but not in my First Edition)

Some may frown at its range, but nearly 400km per charge is good enough to last me a week, especially considering I do drive like a madman once in a while.

One of the best car I ever driven, very responsive and smooth drive. The internal of the car is very classy and dash board design is good.

Buyers need to buy the vehicle with caution, if you have a second car at home, you may want to consider this beauty. The current dealer here does not keep spare parts for this vehicle. All spare parts have long lead time and some takes weeks. Need to be careful.

The acceleration of this thing makes you giggle like a little school girl. Instantaneous torque from zero rpm really feels like the car is teleporting from one traffic light to another at warp speed. Once you taste a high performance electric car, an internal combustion engine just seems laggy, noisy and wasteful.

Coupled that with a fantastically futuristic interior and exterior with carbon-blade wheels.

*I left a F10 M5 for dead at the traffic lights and it felt goood.

It was at the The Art of Performance Tour Jaguar event that I had the test drive of the iPace. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a SUV at this price level to consider this electric version.

This car is amazingly fun to drive given how linear the power is and how strong the torque is with full load of 5 adults. Non-stop smile on my face. It also helps that my sales guy was great fun to chat with. Very candid given his experience.

You'd need to get used to the awesome engine braking prowess which helped tremendously in giving you confidence with the kind of speed this e-SUV was capable of.

Family enjoyed the the ride and the car looks great too.

If only my pocket was that deep. I may have to settle for the entry level XE.

The Jaguar i-Pace is an eye-catching car.

It is a SUV but I would consider it a performance SUV too.

It has many cool features in and out of the car and like most electric performance vehicles, it enables you to overtake silently.

Imagine creeping (very quickly) on other drivers and zooming past them with hardly any noise other than the tyres on road.
