I-PACE approved the project in 2014, Jaguar’s design director LanCallum his team had also said: We will create something special. From the product point of view, Jaguar I-PACE done, there is no denying that many people do not even know, Jaguar still has a pure electric SUV, or is it to see this car coming out of an idea: It really is the SUV?
There is no doubt Jaguar I-PACE is a SUV, it combines the new ratio, this is a very easy way of design, it has more than the ordinary SUV’s aerodynamics included, I do not know that it is not the Jaguar said, it is the kind of car customers want. But I know that this is a very high degree of recognition of Jaguar.
For the vehicle length, the I-PACE Jaguar car only 4682mm long, this is a compact SUV car length; but in wheelbase, it reaches 2990mm, which is more than most midsize SUV’s data. So I say this is a very easy way of models, shorter body lead to more flexible performance, longer wheelbase brings better stability, of course, there is more space.
get in the car, 2990mm wheelbase in fact did not give me bring too many surprises, the back of the ride compared to the Jaguar XEL also slightly better, but I believe that for too many people, it’s definitely enough space. On seating comfort, its use of sports style seats, more focused on the parcel, so it brings a sense of body is better encapsulated and supportive, the opposite is not so soft and comfortable.
Now comes the space, it is natural to mention the Jaguar I-PACE interior. It has aVery nice steering wheel, gear using a stacked-button design, the features dual control, distribution and down the screen, corresponding to different adjustment functions. On interior design and feel, the Jaguar I-PACE closer to the stereotype of traditional fuel vehicles look. And for me personally, too much chrome may make many consumers prefer, but due to a lot of wood trim on the passenger, so I would think that had a fault, transition and overall design sense is not enough coherent.
[123 ] it is noteworthy that in addition to the visual design, as well as its technological performance. The front windshield, the HUD displays information including speed, playing the song lyrics and navigation maps included, compared to only show the most tasteless HUD speed, which should come more practical. In addition, the EV-specific layer, which is in control at the screen go to “My EV” menu, you can configure the details of the vehicle. Wherein the point is that we have mentioned in the “single-pedal mode”, on the Jaguar I-PACE, this function may be implemented by a mode called regenerative braking.
Physical controller rotates the vehicle can regulate the temperature in the cabin enable / disable the seat heating / cooling, which is derived from the family Land Rover design, but unlike Rover, Jaguar on I-PACE there is a third function, that is, pulling and adjusting the fan speed. In other words, you can use this beautiful edge knurled knob to control any vehicle interior temperature and air volume of a region in order to achieve their most comfortable seating environment. Although, in actual experience, the texture of the rotary knob is not good, too loose, the lack of damping, so that my heart can not help but have some gap. But even so, I have to admit, it does have certain forward-looking design and practicality.
of electric vehicles, in addition to science and technology configuration, often to surprise you by way of performance and driving, Jaguar I-PACE, too. But for the Jaguar brand, this type of operation does not make me unexpected, a real surprise in my driving it at the moment.
Jaguar official said “Jaguar I-PACE is still very Jaguar” I think it was right. After a key to start the vehicle, two independent research coaxial permanent magnet motor, the instantaneous burst maximum power of up to 400 hp 696 bovine middot; of peak torque, so that I-PACE accelerates from zero to 100 km / h in 4.8 second. 50:50 mass ratio, excellent grip, partial Shen and flexible accelerator pedal and the enormous steering wheel, plus the subwoofer if the British Meridian ™ surround sound emitted by the so-called driving atmosphere so straightforward.
We mentioned earlier, Jaguar I-PACE has a “single-pedal mode “but in fact there is another EV setting options, called” idle before the line. ” In fact, plainly, the former regulator determines the level of kinetic energy recovery, which we can understand the regulation as “autohold” switch.
A “regenerative braking” mode is adjusted to “high”, in when it releases the accelerator pedal of the vehicle as the brakes to reduce speed generally linear, but accustomed to the traditional fuel vehicles driving habits of car owners, among which there is a process of adaptation, as well as the process of a trust vehicle. Especially for the driver to drive relatively violence, in this mode if the brake pedal is too late, you can see a noticeable braking effect only if the car driver who is not himself a question, but if the car there are other passengers, perhaps they will come to you throw a “supercilious” the.
After tried, I decisively raised the mode “low”, under the mode the vehicle will be closer to the fuel truck, press Dangba other side of the driving mode on this basis, to access the “sport mode”, with the LCD instrument panel from blue to red, vehicle dynamics change as well. After this series of operations, Jaguar I-PACE will become a real “Leopard” in the high speed state, you can always feel the strong support of the suspension; and in the steering, the chassis has a very strong integrity make you more confident as a “tame leopard,” so you people cheheyi. In this state, NEDC overall endurance 456km If not enough, it must be only one reason: You’re too love to drive the car.
Jaguar I-PACE would Like many electric cars, something of a surprise in design and performance. But this is not the place Jaguar I-PACE most out of color, it really shines is that it’s a sense of integrity and quality.
It is not an exaggeration of the big screen, no power to make sacrifices for the chassis, and no compromise was arranged to make space for the battery. It is not the kind of withering seen in Silicon Valley, innovation rebuild all things; nor is it the same time in order to quickly enter the market, creating the concept of the product. It’s more like BMW’s i8 / EQC Mercedes-Benz models such as general, people feel the exquisite luxury and thoughtful design, it gives the experience is one, not technology or the dynamic performance of unilateral.
