Jaguar has unleashed its first electric vehicle – the Jaguar I-PACE – on to the streets for the first time. Driving on the streets of London’s famous Olympic Park, the electric performance SUV concept previews Jaguar’s first electric vehicle, the Jaguar I-PACE, which will be revealed late this year and be on the road in the second half of 2018.
“With the I-PACE Concept,”
says Ian Callum, director of Design, Jaguar,
“we’ve torn up the rule book to create a vehicle with supercar inspired aesthetics, sports car performance and SUV space, in one electric package. It has surprised people and the enthusiasm for our first electric vehicle has been beyond all my expectations. For me, the future of motoring has arrived.”
The I-PACE will be a long-distance sprinter that accelerates to 60 mph in around four seconds, with a range of more than 500km (NEDC cycle) from the 90kWh lithium-ion battery.
Charging is easy and quick, with 80 per cent charge achieved in just 90 minutes using 50kW DC charging. Compact, lightweight electric motors at the front and rear axles generate a combined output of 400PS and 700Nm of torque, with the all-weather benefits of all-wheel drive.
