Two interesting additional infos:
- The Apple CarPlay / Android Auto function is supposed to be rolled out with the next software updated, and existing owners should also be able to upgrade it over-the-air
- Next to the base leatherette Luxtec seat surface, you can also optionally get the Kvadrat fabric like in the Range Rover Velar

Damn.. Thomas u don’t miss a heartbeat!! The first with it with a first-class review!

[egemenbora]

This looks so much better than merc eqc. The eqc is one of my least favorite Mercedes designs

[Da_StormtroopeR]

Tata did a good job since they bought Jaguar/Landrover, so Jaguar is ready for the future.👍
Same Greely with Volvo.

Wow, test drove the Telsa-3 and this new I-pace.. no Comparison.. I-pace is the champ. quieter, larger, and much more refined. Jaguar is the real thing

[maurimasondo]

Audi e-tron has not even been launched so while it will eventually be a competitor it still isn't.. I think i-pace has created a new segment altogether and it will be alone for a while. Very good review, thanks.

Glad you are getting to the new EV offerings so quick. Great to hear the comparisons to the other brands currently available. Looks like the I-Pace will be a great vehicle.

Great review, as per usual Thomas! However, many EV drivers are concerned with the lack of 3-phase AC charging. It’s a good option for home charging and research shows that 90% of charging is at home.

[christill]

I do like this a lot. It’s smaller and sportier than the Model X and better looking in my opinion, as a big fan of Tesla and everything they do. I like the interior, I like the caged in sporty feeling Thomas talks about.

The issue with this car is the fact that it doesn’t have access to a charging network like the Tesla Supercharger network. Superchargers just work in such a simple way, unlike all other charging stations which require a lot of preparation and know how, and they can be unreliable, where superchargers are not. And there are always lots of superchargers in one location, so you don’t have to worry in the unlikely event that one is broken. Where that is an issue in my experience with other charging providers where they just have one or two per location currently.

I also think that most people who watch these videos are going to know almost nothing about EVs and how to charge them. Show a charging station visit in the reviews, how to use them, different cables, different types of chargers. When you might want to use each different type. Stuff like that will make people really understand how the car can work for them in a much easier way than they expect.

But overall, very good review. Glad any time an EV is on the channel. Can’t wait for the e-tron full review.

The best imo channel for car reviews. Lets

A little nitpicking here - if roof window is UV-resistant, it does not mean that it holds the heat from sun. For this, you would have to have IR (infrared) filters. UV are short wavelengths, those which causes suntun. And in fact most types of glass are UV-filters by the way.

[briandowling]

Excellent! I've been waiting on this review eagerly.

[estebanlover]

Thomas, a few corrections.

The dashboard stitches material is actual Windsor Leather that is the same that is on the seats.

Apple CarPlay and Android auto are available on the I-Pace though, I am not sure if you or the team were able to make it work. If it was not in the test car, Jaguar will roll out a over the air update with the two in car systems in it.

Great Review Thomas.

[hamishdunham]

Unusual but not unpleasant profile - squinting at it from the rear quarter, reminds me of a Ford RS200 rally car. Too many glossy bits on the inside and outside but, otherwise, this is Jaguar sensibly making themselves future-proof as a brand with a highly commendable product. Thanks, Thomas and Jonas.

Thank you so much Thomas !!!
Amazing review, you are unique !!

[manuellupotto]

Nice review as always.
My only complain is that you didn't mention the main downside of this car: charging speed.
It really falls behind the competitors both in fast charging (max 100 kw DC) and in normal charging (max 7 kw AC).
Especially the 7 kw AC is really strange. Even the Ioniq does better than that. And this is important because there are many 22 kw publicchargers that will be basically useless with the i-Pace.
For the rest I really like the car!

[xizthwizth]

Cool, I was hoping you would make a review of the I-Pace. But hey, 42 minutes... I need to wait until this evening to watch this :)

[ranjansahu]

Finally !! Of the two cars I was most looking forward for Autogefuhl review - the new S60 and the Ipace - one is here. 👌🏻👍👍

Now waiting for the S60 review !!

[youferrer]

I finally got to test drive it in the USA. It was a prototype HSE edition. It was great, better looking in person. Fast as all high end electrics are. Liked having some of the physical buttons as I often change setting using tactile response. Fit and finish looked great. Build quality looked great as well. Shorter than a typical SUV/CUV which you don't notice in the videos. Also the front end looks more aggressive than it appears in the video. Rides great. I pulled nearly a G on some of my turns. I know this because it has an accelerometer when you go into dynamic mode. I don't know if a Tesla has that.

Simply the best reviewer, and I mean ‘BEST’. Unbiased, fair, intelligent, Entertaining and informative. Matt at Carwow, Doug, WhatCar they should all watch this and take notes! Glad you picked up on fact they have a 99% ‘vegan’ option ( 99%? - lost the 1% to some glue they use that has horse elements in it🤦🏽‍♂️)👍🏽
