The Nissan IMx is headed to production and should be avaiable in 2020. On paper, it matches up well against the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace but for a whole lot less money.
The search for cleaner and more efficient transportation has resulted in a multitude of solutions. Ways to make the internal combustion engine powertrain more efficient, replacing the fuel with alternate fuels like LPG and LNG, synthetic fuels to mix with the fossil fuels, and, ultimately, replacing the internal combustion engine (ICE) completely are all options on the table.
Put a Jaguar I-Pace up against Tesla Model X. Ask both cars to accelerate to 60 and then come to a complete stop in the shortest possible distance. Which car will win?
The I-PACE is important not because it finally gives the Tesla Model X a run for its money but because it will appeal to drivers who might otherwise buy an SUV with an internal combustion engine. That means it represents an important step forward in the transition from gas to electric powered vehicles.
That’s it. The long wait for Jaguar’s electric i-Pace SUV is now over. We officially know what it is, what it looks like, what it will do, and when.
An analyst for Seeking Alpha says cars like the Jaguar I-PACE using NMC prismatic battery cells offer a better user experience while charging and may outperform the Tesla Supercharger network.
The Jaguar I-PACE will finally be fully unveiled on March 1st — via a global, online broadcast to begin at 19:00 CET — a new press release has revealed. Accompanying this will be the opening of ordering and the official announcement of pricing.
Initial pricing for the Jaguar I-Pace in the European market has now been revealed (via Autoblog.nl), showing numbers roughly in line with what most observers were expecting. The model is expensive but “affordable” for those who shop in the luxury SUV segment, in other words.
Jaguar will begin a support series for Formula E beginning in October 2018. It will feature specially prepared I-PACE electric SUVs and will be called the eTROPHY series.
