Well, we\u2019ve been teased and teased<\/a>, and finally, Jaguar\u2019s first all-electric car has broken cover.<\/p>\n

This, reader, is the production-ready Jaguar I-Pace, a fully electric crossover designed to muscle in on the niche that Tesla carved out for itself with the Model X<\/a>. With the release of the I-Pace, Jaguar has beaten out rivals from the likes of Mercedes, BMW and Audi to offer a car that takes flight with the changing winds of the automotive industry.<\/p>\n

So, if this is a Tesla Model X <\/a>beater, what do you get? Well, for starters, a slightly more attractive price. When it\u2019s introduced to the Middle East in late-2019, the I-Pace is expected to cost just over AED 300,000. That\u2019s compared to the AED 350,000 that the Tesla starts at.<\/p>\n

And if it\u2019s going head-to-head with the cheapest Model X<\/a>, the Jaguar wins on statistics, too. Its two electric motors produce a combined 394 bhp and 696 Nm of torque, meaning it\u2019ll do the 0-100 km\/h dash in 4.8 seconds. That means it\u2019ll worry an F-Type S<\/a> in a drag race.<\/p>\n

It should be decent around the corners, too. The battery pack is integrated into the floor of the car, and the chassis is based on a new, all-aluminium architecture. That means the I-Pace\u2019s centre of gravity sits way<\/em> lower than the F-Pace<\/a>\u2019s. Its weight distribution is 50:50, and you can also spec self-levelling air suspension and adaptive dampers. The car might weigh over 2 tonnes, but this stuff should allow the I-Pace to hide its weight extremely well through the bends.<\/p>\n

And that (relative) lack of weight should also help in terms of economy. Jaguar claims a 480 km range from the 90 kWh battery. If you use a rapid charger (more are popping up around the UAE), you can go from 0% to 80% in 40 minutes, and get 100 km out of a rapid, 15-minute charge.<\/p>\n

That said, if you want to use a standard electrical supply like you have at home, you\u2019ll need 10 hours for a full charge. Your best bet, then, would be to just plug in when you get home, meaning that, whenever you pop out again, you have a full tank of, um, electricity.<\/p>\n

Jaguar appears to have addressed some of the worries electric car buyers have with maintenance as well. The I-Pace comes with an eight-year or 160,000 km battery warranty, and the Jaguar will give you a 33,800 km service package with your I-Pace.<\/p>\n

Inside, you get Jaguar\u2019s new Touch Pro Duo infotainment set-up. It looks similar to the system on the Range Rover Velar<\/a> \u2013 just more Jaguar-ish. Jaguar Land Rover is on a roll with its tech lately, meaning you shouldn\u2019t have any worries there. And the rest of the interior is suitably svelte, with much leather and glass and aluminium.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it. Would you have this, or spend AED 50,000 more for a\u00a0Tesla Model X<\/a>?<\/p>\n
