Buying & owning
Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is
Costs, insurance groups, MPG and CO2
The Jaguar I-Pace is priced broadly in line with the Audi Q8 e-tron, theBMW iX3 and theMercedes EQC, but costs considerably more than entry-level version of the Ford Mustang Mach-E and theTesla Model Y. Like all zero-emission vehicles, it's a very tempting company car choice because it attracts an extremely low tax rating.
If you cover lots of miles or can’t charge at your home or office, remember that all Teslas give you access to the brand’s industry-leading Supercharger network. I-Pace buyers will have to rely on regular public chargers on longer trips.
Recharging the battery from flat with a 7kW home wallbox takes a little under 14 hours (it has a big battery, after all). If you can find a public charger capable of reaching the 104kW maximum charging speed, a 10-80% top-up should take 45 minutes. The Q8 e-tron, Model Y and Mustang Mach-E Extended Range are all capable of charging more quickly.
Equipment, options and extras
The entry-level R-Dynamic S spec I-Pace comes with quite a lot of luxuries, including keyless entry, dual-zone climate control and ambient interior lighting. However, we’d be tempted to upgrade to R-Dynamic SE Black, which brings sportier looks, a powered tailgate and heated and electrically adjustable front seats.
To this, R-Dynamic HSE Black adds matrix headlights, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, fancier leather, a suede headliner and upgraded infotainment. And, finally, there’s Sport, which has the largest wheels at 22in, thinner Performance front seats, and adaptive air suspension.
