Jaguar I-Pace (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
One of the very best EVs to drive	Disappointing real-world range
Combines speed with refinement	Doesn't charge as quickly as some rivals
Rock-bottom tax bills for company drivers	Firm ride on biggest wheels

Quick Summary

The Jaguar I-Pace is a milestone electric vehicle that proved EVs needn't be mundane. Launched in 2018, this premium electric SUV delivers 396bhp with permanent four-wheel drive, achieving 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds. The official claimed range is 292 miles (WLTP), though real-world figures are more modest at around 240 miles in varied conditions and 180 miles in cold weather or motorway driving. A full charge from a 7kW home wall box takes approximately 14 hours, whilst a 50kW rapid charger adds 100 miles in 45 minutes to an hour.

The I-Pace's defining strength is its driving dynamics—it's one of the finest sports SUVs to drive, electric or otherwise, combining thrilling performance with surprising refinement and comfort. Three trim levels (S, SE, and HSE) offer comprehensive equipment, with the SE representing the best value. Running costs are competitive at 9-13p per mile on home charging, and as an EV, it benefits from zero Vehicle Excise Duty and London congestion charge exemption. Depreciation is reasonable for an electric vehicle, though initial purchase prices remain premium. The post-2021 facelift models feature the more intuitive Pivi Pro infotainment system.

Best for: Drivers seeking an engaging, luxurious electric SUV with exceptional handling, company car users benefiting from tax advantages, and those prioritising driving pleasure over maximum range.

Not ideal for: Buyers requiring maximum real-world range, those dependent on rapid public charging networks, or those preferring a traditional high driving position and softer ride on larger wheels.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the I-Pace if: You're seeking an engaging, luxurious electric SUV with exceptional handling, you're a company car user benefiting from tax advantages, or you prioritise driving pleasure over maximum range.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum real-world range, depend on rapid public charging networks, or prefer a traditional high driving position and softer ride on larger wheels.

Competitive Position: The Jaguar I-Pace stands out as the most engaging electric SUV to drive, with the highest user rating (5.0/5) and best value score (42.5%) among its rivals. Whilst the Mercedes-Benz EQC and Tesla Model X offer more spacious interiors, and the Audi E-Tron provides comparable range, the I-Pace's superior driving dynamics and refinement make it the standout choice for enthusiasts. Its premium pricing is justified by its milestone status as a truly thrilling electric vehicle that doesn't compromise on luxury or performance. For those prioritising driving enjoyment alongside electric credentials, the I-Pace remains unmatched in its class.
