When it comes to an electric SUV, it may be difficult to exercise and driving pleasure stained relationship, but if I say it comes from Jaguar, it is really a new light, and thus we have the issue of the protagonist, Jaguar its first pure electric coupe SUV-I-PACE.
From the design perspective, the Jaguar brand has always been a pioneer in motor racing fashion, I-PACE is no exception, it is a full popular elements of pure electric vehicles, compared to other electric cars, it looks to create avant-garde fashion at the same heritage of the classic elements of some fuel vehicles, such as central grille is retained, but the purpose is different from fuel vehicles, and It is to play the role of the battery cooling, while the front face sports package also provides outstanding aerodynamic performance.
I- PACE on top of the front cover there is a diversion from the network through over the groove, the purpose is to allow more air flow through here, under pressure to enhance the front, so the front is more stable, but also enhance the I-PACE’s high speed stability . I-PACE front compartment equipped with a dual standby little space compartment predecessors, probably put a shoulder bag, but also to some extent increases the practicability.
Although the positioning of medium SUV, but I-PACE side molding like a crossover, while the entire body is compact, creating a more aesthetic movement, body size I-PACE car length 4682mm, but due to the four corners of the design, the exaggerated wheelbase 2990mm.
about two each fender side a charging port 40 minutes to complete 80 percent charged, 20-inch Feet also for the whole carSide lot of extra points, while the I-PACE also adopted a similar vein star above the Land Rover hidden door handle, the unlock process is very slow pop-up ritual sense.
If I-PACE’s front design more of a heritage brand style, then it is entirely fanciful rear, short rear plus towering sharp tangent, coupled with the tail of the roof, the visual effect is very prominent, while the narrow tail lights when the lighting also has a high degree of recognition.

traditional electric car companies making cars, unlike the same with a new force repairer, or a plurality of large-screen capture of the whole control region, I- PACE with the two touch screen with physical buttons make up the more familiar control layout, and the use of more advanced materials to create a sense of luxury, at this point is Tesla who can not compare. In the control of the two screen, 10-inch above is responsible for multimedia information, the vehicle settings, and the following five-inch screen to the main air-conditioning system, with knobs on both sides, we can take into account the practicality and convenience.
in the control design ingenuity below, using a hollow design, while the middle position also therethrough, forming a ” T-channel “, while the I-PACE uses a push-button gear set, and the driving mode options, and other functional distinction HDC arranged.
three steering feel good motion, above all with a key backlight. Full LCD instrument display information is very rich, display under different driving modes are also obvious differences. Sports seat supporting both package and,It can provide excellent ride feel for the driver, including seat heating, electric leg rest, comfortable configuration are fully served.
configuration level, including panoramic roof (not open), a pedestrian airbag, less than 20 kilometers per hour will send a signal to warn pedestrians studies, furthermore comprising a lane departure, automatic parking, rear warning functions are equipped . The battery pack all hidden under the seat, so the trunk is not occupied, 656 liters of conventional volume sufficient to meet the four long-distance travel.
Power section, I-PACE with Jaguar before and after self-developed dual motor, the battery capacity of 81kW, maximum power of 400 horsepower peak torque of 696 Nm, the position of the two motors is very low, lower center of gravity of the vehicle. The battery pack and the entire tile in a central position of the chassis, to ensure that the front and rear weight distribution of 50:50. The suspension part is double-wishbone front, multi-link set, all the information from the show, I-PACE is a determination of the movement in the end of the electric SUV.
The part of the test drive experience includes high-speed and mountain driving, high-speed test drive, we can fully experience I-PACE 696 cow middot; m brought impact, Although the body weight of 2.1 tons, but as long as the accelerator pedal is stepped down deep, I-PACE will be the performance of the car the way to meet you, and very smooth linear power output , it is pushed back discomfort does not exist, the dynamic performance of the vehicle closer to the large displacement naturally aspirated models, power step by step go.
suspension of support and sense are doing very well, like a car on the road, like suck, at the same time thanks to electric drive brought low noise, even at 120km / h cruising speed, the degree of quiet car there is still commendable, it also allows “British treasure” MERIDIAN with better sound quality. Overall, in the high speed state, I-PACE brings ride quality has reached the top level, while the dynamic I-PACEIt can be recycled into the high and low gear after use habits can replace braking effect, stop and go city quite peace of mind.
Road Experience link, I-PACE body posture control very well, limit high suspension, electric cars due to low center of gravity “natural advantages”, plus I-PACE is equipped with four-wheel drive system that allows the vehicle even at 70km / h still firmly locked the road when cornering, giving the driver more confidence, excellent suspension will be some small bumps on the road is completely filtered, driving I-PACE biggest difference between trail running and performance of the car in this, even to feel a little stick flying. Lower center of gravity to make it open up and nothing like SUV, completely Cannon’s performance, combined with the analog audio speaker brought the car battle atmosphere is very strong, in addition due to the I-PACE torque too strong in the corners to pay special attention to control the accelerator pedal.
As Jaguar’s first pure electric vehicle, I-PACE is undoubtedly successful, to retain the traditional shape and take into account futuristic electric cars, interior quality and a sense of luxury are in place, ample space, ride quality is for me the most impressive place, not only surging power output smooth, sharp handling and steering precision, it is entirely one for driving seeking to build electric cars, while the chassis and interior quietness texture are world-class, both urban walk, bend or mountain split between tenderness and rage only an idea, this electric SUV, who does not love it?
