The Jaguar I-PACE is a battery-electric SUV car due to be produced by British automotive company Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) under their Jaguar marque, and expected to be on the road by the second half of 2018.

History[edit]

The I-Pace is designed by Ian Callum.[2] The concept version of the car, described as a five-seater sports car, was unveiled by JLR at the 2016 Los Angeles motor show and shown on-road in London in March 2017.[3][4] and series production is handled by Magna Steyr in Austria.[5][6] The production version of the I-PACE was revealed in Graz on 1 March 2018.[7]

Some of the electric drive technology comes out of the Jaguar I-Type Formula E program,[8] and the concentric motors were developed by JLR engineer Dr. Alex Michaelides.[9]

Concept specifications[edit]

I-Pace Concept at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The expected EPA rated range is 220 mi (350 km).[10] The I-PACE has all-wheel drive via two motors powered by a 90kWh LG Chem[2] lithium-ion battery comprising 40% of the car's cost, and the battery management system is developed by JLR.[9] The battery can be charged at 100kW.[2] The 0-60 mph time is 4 seconds.[11]

The battery contains 432 pouch cells instead of thousands of cylindrical cells. [12]

Each motor delivers 197 hp (147 kW) and 258 lb⋅ft (350 N⋅m) of torque, for a total power of 395 hp (295 kW) and total torque of 516 lb⋅ft (700 N⋅m). The rear boot holds 18.7 cu ft (0.53 m3), along with 1 cu ft (0.028 m3) of front boot space. The drag coefficient is 0.29.[2]
