CarExplore's Take on the 2025 Jaguar I-Pace
The Jaguar I-Pace, despite its age, continues to impress with its stylish design and engaging driving experience. Its dual-motor powertrain delivers strong performance, with a 0-100km/h time of 4.8 seconds that rivals many sports cars.
Interior quality is generally high, with a design that still feels modern and premium. However, many desirable features are expensive options, even on the top-spec HSE model, which can push the price significantly higher.
The I-Pace's handling and ride quality are standout features, offering a good balance of comfort and sportiness, especially with the optional adaptive air suspension. However, its 446km NEDC range (likely less in real-world conditions) and 104kW maximum DC charging speed are behind newer competitors.
Practicality is somewhat limited by the sloping roofline, which impacts rear headroom and cargo space. This may be a consideration for families or those needing more utility from their SUV.
Ideal For: Luxury EV buyers who prioritize style and driving dynamics over maximum range and practicality, and are willing to pay a premium for a unique, driver-focused electric SUV.
Consider Alternatives If: You need longer range, faster charging capabilities, or more interior space, or if you're looking for better value in terms of standard features.
