Description
The Jaguar I-PACE EV400 HSE Black is a fully electric luxury SUV that combines impressive performance, cutting-edge technology, and sleek design. It’s part of Jaguar's move towards electric mobility, offering an alternative to traditional combustion-engine luxury SUVs.
Here’s a breakdown of the key features of the I-PACE EV400 HSE Black:
Power and Performance:
EV400 refers to the car’s electric powertrain, which produces 400 horsepower. The I-PACE is powered by two electric motors (one on each axle) providing all-wheel drive.
The car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just around 4.5 seconds, which is quick for an electric SUV.
The battery pack is a 90 kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a range of around 250 miles on a full charge, depending on driving conditions.
Trim and Design:
The HSE Black trim elevates the I-PACE with sportier and more dynamic styling. It features black accents, including black exterior elements such as black grille, black wheels, and gloss black detailing, giving it a more aggressive and modern look compared to the standard I-PACE.
The HSE designation indicates a high-spec trim, which brings a luxury-focused interior and a long list of features.
Interior and Technology:
The interior is luxurious, featuring premium materials such as leather upholstery, a panoramic glass roof, and ambient lighting for a more refined experience.
The dual-touchscreen infotainment system (InControl Touch Pro Duo) includes a 10-inch display and an additional 5-inch lower display, providing controls for climate, media, and vehicle settings.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as well as Jaguar’s Pivi Pro system, which offers seamless connectivity.
A 12.3-inch digital driver display provides key driving information, and the Meridian sound system ensures premium audio quality.
Driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, 360-degree cameras, and automatic emergency braking.
Driving Experience:
The I-PACE has a low center of gravity due to the placement of the battery pack, which contributes to a sporty, stable driving experience.
The car is versatile, offering comfort for everyday drives but also providing the agility of a sports car, especially in urban environments.
Adaptive air suspension is available to smooth out the ride, and the car’s handling is sharp, with the ability to tackle corners with ease.
Charging and Range:
The I-PACE can be charged at home via an AC charger or at public charging stations using DC fast charging.
With a fast charger, the car can gain about 80% charge in 40-45 minutes, making it suitable for longer trips.
The range is suitable for day-to-day driving, with approximately 250 miles on a full charge (although this may vary based on driving conditions and driving style).
Sustainability:
As an electric vehicle, the I-PACE has zero tailpipe emissions, making it a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional luxury SUVs that run on internal combustion engines.
