You could almost hear the panic emanating from Silicon Valley when Jaguar unleashed its cutting-edge I-Pace: this was one of the first production vehicles from a luxury maker that had the range, handling and performance to match the might of Tesla. Fusing SUV and coupé styling, Jaguar wanted to create something elegant and aerodynamic, with every curve, intake and line intended to improve range.
It’s worked, because the I-Pace delivers 292 miles on a charge – and that’s been calculated using the new, much stricter WLTP test cycle. Plus, performance from its all-wheel-drive system is up there with some of the fastest sports cars on the road: the 0-62mph dash is dispatched in a brisk 4.5 seconds.
