For 2021, Jaguar gives the I-Pace a handful of improvements. The SUV now offers a complimentary 4G data plan, a 360-degree camera system, and wireless charging. The optional Bright package adds chrome exterior trim, Atlas Grey accents, and other minor styling changes. Inside, there's a new infotainment system that's said to be easier to operate than the one it replaces. Plus, it gains a feature that tells you where the nearest charging stations are and how long it should take to restore the battery.
PROS Quick and serene operation, graceful and engaging driving manners, branding and styling make a statement.
CONS Brake pedal has uneven feedback, underachieving range in the real world, sluggish 240-volt charging time.
The I-Pace won’t be for everyone, but hats off to Jaguar for making a car that steps boldly into the unknown, and shows those pesky Germans the way.
PROS Acceleration, interior space, big boot, brave exterior design
CONS Not cheap, better infotainment systems out there, claimed range is ambitious
PROS Genuinely innovative design Brings mainstream credibility to luxury EV market Responsive, accessible, seamless performance
CONS Lacklustre infotainment system Lack of 100kW charging infrastructure Intrusive stability control
