Interior details

The Jaguar I-Pace is a luxuriously-appointed five-seat SUV available in three trim levels. The base S trim features synthetic leather upholstery, with the mid-trim SE gaining grained leather seating, and the HSE trim finished in Windsor premium leather. Spacious seating ensures comfort is immediate; front-row passengers have 40.9 inches of legroom, and the rear-row seats have 35.0 inches. Sports seats are standard, with an available option of a more contoured performance seating. 

Cabin ambiance is central to the I-Pace experience. A panoramic glass roof connects passengers with surrounding skies, mountains, or skyscrapers. Ambient lighting creates unique and evocative moods. Surfaces are finished in exquisite material finishes. You can choose from glossy black and ash veneer to monogrammed aluminum, or aluminum and carbon fiber weave. 

Cargo and cabin storage has been well thought through. Behind the second row is 25.3 cu-ft of fixed cargo storage, which can then expand to 51.0 cu-ft behind the first row when the back seats are folded. Small cabin items can be stored in the center console bin, the front row's lockable glove box, or under the second-row seating. A fun storage bonus is the 0.95 cu-ft front trunk.

Child seat details 

The 2020 I-Pace is suitable for young passengers. It has two sets of LATCH connectors (two lower anchors and an upper tether) in the second-row outboard seats and an additional upper tether for its middle seat. The anchor points are easy to spot and the fitting of seats is made comfortable for parents and guardians thanks to a wide door pitch and roomy ceiling height. All seat types are accommodated, and depending on the models you wish to use, up to three can be fitted in the rear row. The fixed panoramic roof is tinted, to prevent strong sunlight, UV rays, and excessive heat.

Performance

All 2020 Jaguar I-Pace models are powered by dual electric motors and a 90-kWh battery for a combined 394 hp and up to 512 lb-ft of instant torque, even from a standing start. A single-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are both standard across all trims. According to the manufacturer, the 2020 I-Pace has a maximum speed of 124 mph and an exhilarating zero-to-60 time of just 4.5 seconds (when new).

When fully charged, the I-Pace has an EPA-estimated 234 miles of total range.

Charging your I-Pace is fairly straightforward. Your charge port is found next to the front wheel arch on the driver's side. A timed charging feature allows you to set specific charging times, should you wish to prioritize off-peak electricity rates or renewable energy at home. Using the home charging cable and a domestic wall socket should take your vehicle battery back to a full charge overnight. There's also the option to have a wall box charger installed for faster charging times. 

Away from home, the I-Pace is equipped to use public charging stations and can accept up to a 100-kW DC charge rate. What do these public charging rates mean for your daily schedule? Charge at the gym or mall, and a typical 50-kW DC rapid charger can provide up to 80% charge in less than 90 minutes. If you're on the move and tight on time, a 100-kW rapid charger could add up to 63 miles in just 15 minutes.

Year comparisons 

2019-Present Jaguar I-Pace (First Generation)

Debuting in 2019, the all-electric five-seat Jaguar I-Pace is a high-spec SUV, available in four trims. Aside from retiring the debut year's First Edition trim, there are no changes for the 2020 models. 

Following a missed year in 2021, the 2022 I-Pace sees the S and SE trims discontinued, its infotainment features gain some minor improvements, and battery charging time is reduced due to a power upgrade for the onboard charger. The 2023 I-Pace is expected to have just a few minor changes to its standard and optional feature line-up.
