The Jaguar I-Pace (stylised as I-PACE) is a battery-electric crossover SUV produced by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) under their Jaguar marque. The I-Pace was announced in March 2018, European deliveries began in June 2018 and North American deliveries started in October 2018. Amid slowing sales[1] and a change in corporate vision, Jaguar has announced that the I-Pace will be discontinued by 2025.[2]
The Jaguar I-Pace was designed by Ian Callum.[3] The concept version of the car, described as a five-seater sports car, was unveiled by JLR at the 2016 Los Angeles Motor Show and shown on-road in London in March 2017.[4] [5]
The I-Pace is built by contract manufacturer Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria,[6] and the production version of the I-Pace was revealed in Graz on 1 March 2018.[7] It was subsequently showcased for its first public appearance in its production version at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show.[8]
Some of the electric drive technology has come out of the Jaguar I-Type electric Formula E racing car programme.[9]
The Jaguar I-Pace launched with a WLTP-rated range of 292miles[10] and an EPA-rated range of 234miles. In December 2019, software enhancements were released to increase range to an EPA-rated range of 246miles.[11] [12] The car has a wade depth of 500mm.[13] The rear boot holds 23.17order=flipNaNorder=flip,[14] along with 1cuft of front boot space. The drag coefficient is 0.29.[3]
The car has all-wheel drive via two motors powered by a 90kWh LG Chem liquid cooled lithium-ion battery.[3] Each motor delivers and of torque, for a total power of and total torque of .[3] The 062mph (0100km/h) time is 4.8 seconds,[10] and the top speed is electronically limited to 124mph (200km/h).[15]
The battery contains 432 pouch cells.[16] It can charge from 0 to 80 per cent in 85 minutes using 50kW DC charging, or 45 minutes using a 100kW charger. Home charging with an AC wall box (7kW) achieves the same state of charge in 10 hours.[15] As the I-Pace was initially released with a single-phase 7kW AC charger, a one-hour charge, would add around 30km (20miles) of range.[17] Later 2021 models had 11kW AC charging, at single-phase or three-phase, depending on market.
The car comes with a smartphone app called Jaguar Remote, which can locate the car, report on its locking, alarming and charging status, and start its battery preconditioning or cabin heating/cooling.[18]
The I-Pace has won 62[19] international awards. In March 2019, it won the European Car of the Year award, the first Jaguar to win the award.[20] In April 2019, it became the 2019 World Car of the Year, and won Best Design and Best Green Car awards.[21]

In 2018, Waymo selected the Jaguar I-Pace for use in its autonomous ride-hailing service, placing an order for 20,000 vehicles.[37]
In June 2020, Jaguar announced its support for a wirelessly charged taxi project in Oslo, Norway. Jaguar gave 25 I-Pace vehicles to taxi company Cabonline, which will use the vehicles to test the charging infrastructure on taxis in the Norwegian capital. Ralf Speth, JLR's then chief executive, said, "The taxi industry is the ideal test bed for wireless charging, and indeed for high-mileage electric mobility across the board.".[38]
