Lightning-fast shooting, comfort devoted to luxury and technology and design, lots of design.
Jaguar I-Pace, the first electric SUV that already in unsuspected times has inaugurated a new segment that is now destined to become more and more populated, is perhaps the most 'revolutionary' jaguar since the time of the Jaguar E-Type.
On the one hand, because the I-Pace has paved the way for 100% electric luxury, on the other, because in terms of shapes and design, it has reinvented the lines of sportiness according to the British house, aiming for beauty, as well as functionality in terms aerodynamics, essential when it comes to electric vehicles of a certain type.
Technology and performance are also the ingredients of the EV400 AWD version, with its 400 HP of power that crushes you to the seat in recovery and a fun driving dynamics that makes you forget the weight, not indifferent, of the electric and sports SUV according to Jaguar.
In fact, the electric propulsion guarantees exceptional performance and zero emissions, but also a very dynamic driving style, which is a bit like the meeting point between an SUV and a sedan, with the appearance of a coupé and the nature of a super sports car.

Powered by two electric motors of 200 HP each, one mounted at the rear and the other at the front and transmits the motion to the front ones, the I-Pace is powered by the lithium-ion batteries mounted under the passenger compartment floor. and that promise a range of 480 km, in optimal driving conditions, which we did not struggle to experience during our test.
Recharging is done by connecting the supplied cable to the connection in the left front fender: from a 7 kW 220 V socket, 13 hours are needed for a complete regeneration.
At a 100 kW fast charging point, the battery has already reached 80% efficiency in 40 minutes.
At the wheel, the I-Pace is a mix between the readiness of the engine and that of the steering that make it pleasantly responsive.
The feeling is that you are dealing with an agile car, capable of satisfying any driver's request.
The weight limit is something noticeable only if you approach it to the limit, because at that point the Jaguar struggles to hide its two tons and passes.
The interior comfort is 'total' as in Jaguar style, as always, whether it is traditional vehicles or designed for the future.
Above all, then silence reigns: that of an elegant and precise jaguar, ready for the lightning bolt at the right moment.
