Jaguar’s I-pace is classified as a large SUV but its most significant feature is that it is an all-electric vehicle.  David Brown has been trying it out on a wide range of road conditions.

Jaguar’s first all electric vehicle, the i-Pace large SUV has won a heap of awards.

All-wheel drive is achieved with two electric motors delivering a total of a whopping 294 kw and 696 Nm of torque.

It’s not just fast it is quiet.  Under full acceleration is still has a whirring sound like a starwars’ space ship going into hyperspace rather than the raucous, straining noise you get from a large internal combustion engine.

Its styling is distinctively good and the interior controls are model but occasionally quirky.

It costs between $124,000 and $146,000 plus on roads and options

Range and managing the battery charging requires some thought which I will talk about next time.
