All-wheel drive performance from twin Jaguar-designed concentric motors offer a combined 394hp and 512 lb. Since the debut of the Jaguar I-PACE Concept, U.S. Arriving at U.S. retailers in the second half of 2018, the production I-PACE offers customers an exciting design influenced heavily by the concept vehicle, revealed in 2016; which in turn was heavily influenced by the C-X75 supercar concept. At launch, the 2019 I-PACE will be available in three trim levels: S, SE & HSE, with an additional First Edition model available for the first year only - all featuring all-wheel drive as standard. 鈥淭he I-PACE鈥檚 electric powertrain offered us unprecedented design freedom,鈥?said Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design. 鈥淪tarting with a clean sheet enabled the dramatic cab-forward profile, unique proportions and exceptional interior space - yet it is unmistakably a Jaguar. By putting the 2019 Jaguar I-PACE into production virtually unchanged from the I-PACE Concept, Jaguar has transformed electric vehicle (EV) design. A long wheelbase of 117.7in (2,990mm) with an overall vehicle length of 184.3in (4,682mm), gives the vehicle a similar footprint to the Jaguar F-PACE, but with the interior space of a larger vehicle.
Its bold proportions are a direct result of the advanced electric drivetrain and architecture that underpin the vehicle. Emerging from the door panels at the push of a button on the key fob, or when touched, flush door handles preserve the clean lines and contribute superb aerodynamics. This focus on aerodynamic efficiency continues to the standard air suspension system, which is capable of lowering the vehicle by up to 0.4in (10mm) at speeds above 65mph (105km/h)2 as a way to further reduce drag. Available Premium LED headlights emphasize the clean lines of the I-PACE and feature a compact design that incorporates the trademark Jaguar 鈥榙ouble-J鈥?signature daytime running light design. 鈥淲e set out to design an emotive and atmospheric interior that excites the senses, where the driver is central to the experience and passengers are afforded the space they need,鈥?said Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design. Attention to detail, added functionality and the standard Touch Pro Duo infotainment system combine with the distinctive floating center console to set the interior design tone of the Jaguar I-PACE. Vibrant HD displays, advanced touchscreens and capacitive switches complement multi-function, rotary controllers for an engaging, intuitive experience6.
The generous interior offers 40.9in (1,040mm) and 35.0in (890mm) of front and rear legroom respectively and even includes clever storage areas for drinks, bottles and other miscellaneous items. With no transmission tunnel, there is room for a 0.43cu. ft. Trays built under the rear seats also provide perfect storage for tablets and laptops. The rear luggage compartment capacity of 25.3 cu. SUVs, increasing to 51.0 cu. Despite the dramatic sloping roofline there is plenty of headroom (39.9-in in row 1 and 38.1-in in row 2) because of the low-slung seating position, which provides a sporty enjoyable seating position without compromising posture or space. The standard glass panoramic roof runs the length of the car and floods the cabin with light, giving the interior added sense of space. Both the roof and side windows absorb infrared light, keeping the cabin cool and shading the interior without the need for a blind. Materials are carefully chosen to provide a blend of natural finishes and high-tech surfaces, including optional Gloss Black, Gloss Charcoal Ash wood grain and precision-machined aluminum.
The contemporary color palette emphasizes the sense of space and lightness inside, while the option of slimline performance seats further enhances the sports car feel of the I-PACE interior. 鈥淭he Jaguar I-PACE is the complete package,鈥?said Ian Hoban, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar I-PACE. The new all-electric Jaguar I-PACE makes electric vehicle (EV) ownership more exciting, accessible and practical than ever thanks to its unique design and battery technology. A 90kWh lithium-ion battery comprising of 432 pouch cells, chosen for their high energy density and superior thermal management, delivers an estimated EV range of 240 miles1. Owners will be able to achieve a 0-80 percent battery charge in approximately 40 minutes using 100kW DC fast charging3. Alternatively, home charging with a 230V/32AMP AC wall box (7kW) will take the I-PACE from zero to 80 percent in just over ten hours, making it ideal for overnight charging3. Additionally, owners can pre-condition the battery temperature to maximize range, and heat or cool the cabin before starting their journey while plugged to power.
By allowing the vehicle to precondition itself while still connected to power, maximum range can be achieved without the need to draw power from the on-board batteries to reach optimal operating temperature. Customers can pre-set a time for this process to automatically begin ahead of each journey through the Jaguar InControl Remote app or from the Touch Pro Duo touchscreen6. With 394hp and 512 lb. Jaguar I-PACE delivers electric performance in every sense and the kind of dynamic response Jaguar owners have come to expect. The instantaneous torque delivery inherent in an EV gives the new Jaguar performance SUV impressive acceleration from a standing start, sprinting from 0-60mph in as little as 4.5 seconds (0-100km/h in just 4.8 seconds)2. Two Jaguar-designed synchronous permanent magnet electric motors drive both the front and rear axles. Each motor fits concentrically around a compact, single-speed transmission and differential, enabling instant and precise distribution of torque to all four wheels as the I-PACE continuously adapts its front-rear balance to suit road conditions.
