Jaguar I-Pace vs Tesla Model X 100D & P100D - DRAG RACE, ROLLING RACE AND BRAKE TEST

It’s our first all-electric drag race and we’ve crossed the Atlantic to make sure we’ve found the best possible competition for you! Representing the UK we have the Jaguar I-Pace the firm's first all-electric SUV offering, the I-Pace, whilst we have two competitors from America – the Tesla Model X 100D and the P100D.

Why both? Well, the 100D is close on price and power to the Jaguar I-Pace, but why not have the most powerful Model X there too for comparison? So that's what we did!

We’ve put these electric SUVs to the test across three challenges – a drag race, rolling race and brake test, but which do you think will come out on top? Let’s race!

I'm glad Tesla finally has some real competition. It will only make both cars better.

Normal drag race:

1..2..3 GO


Electric drag race
1..2..3 GO!!

The Jaguar I-Pace is one of the most underrated cars in autodom
Jaguar really did a fine job with their first electric vehicle

Matt/Carwow - for the brake tests please one time do a bunch of brake tests with the same car, so you can see what your margin of error is. You call winners in these tests, while they're likely just draws because the reaction time is more impactful than the brake performance.

Every carwow drag race with a Tesla in it: "That Tesla just took off"

[scottkellyfa]

As a Tesla owner, two thoughts: 1) I'm delighted to see that appears to be very serious about the I-Pace, and 2) there's now a legitimate option for those who can't quite go for the Tesla design language (beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that) or who want a cheaper option than the MX. Well done Jag.

[Nayr]

That braking test is nonsense. Reaction time differences could easily account for the very small disparity in where the cars stopped.

[Betzjen]

Bad start of the 100D driver. Why don't you do three runs to get a fair comparison?

[James-lwgi]

The blue Tesla was so slow to start off the line in that first race. Driver was asleep or just us terrible reaction time. When your cars start that fast, waiting a second off the line kills you.

Usually i'm not a big fan of Jaguars but I think its too damn awesome that they made an all electric car. Thumps up for this Jag!

[evolt]

The I-Pace is more off-roady while the Model X is more family-focused.
The Model X has more room while the I-Pace has off-road performance.
The Model X has the Tesla Supercharger available, while the I-Pace has to rely just on other public fast-chargers.
The Model X has autopilot while the I-Pace does not.
Conclusion:
These are two different types of SUVs focused on different types of people.

the tesla looks so underrated on pictures and video it looks incredible when you see it in real

[bingtang]

Omg, first time realizing that Tesla 100d and P100d have huge differences, I always thought P100d only adjusted some sport components, but now P100d was much faster the normal 100d

[Gochsener]

100D is limited in low down performance, I have experienced it myself. the Jag is a good car, I don't like the looks and I don't like that they advertise against Tesla. They should advertise against fossil cars.

[stuebh]

I would go for the Jaguar as it looks better and it's cheaper

[mskz]

Good job Jaguar more EV choices the better. X is deceptively much bigger tho twice the interior volume of ipace.

[lawky]

1:01 No, I want my Mommy. Cracks me up 😂😂😅

[damsonpirate]

A Jaguar I Pace SVR would be interesting

[raybloodypurchase]

The rear design of the Tesla has not aged well at all.

[ernodios]

The silence takes all the thrill out of the video. It even looks slow even when I'm sure it must feel ball-shrinking.
