The all-electric Jaguar I-PACE makes its India entry at INR 105.90 lacs

Posted on

The all-electric Jaguar I-PACE has been launched in India at a steep starting price of INR 105.9 lacs (ex-showroom). Powered by a 90 kWh battery that delivers 294 kW power and 696 Nm torque, the I-PACE is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds.

With over 80 global awards since launch, including the prestigious World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car in 2019, the Jaguar I-PACE has emerged as a true electric alternative within a short span of time, and built on a strong legacy.

In India, it marks the beginning of Jaguar Land Rover’s electrification journey, with a fully prepared retailer network that is ready to cater to consumer demands. 22 retail outlets across 19 cities are now EV ready with over 35 EV chargers installed and more underway. These chargers are a combination of 7.4 kW AC chargers and 25 kW DC (fast) chargers. Retailer staff have been extensively trained with in-depth and dedicated courses on EVs.

To charge the I-PACE, customers may either use a Home Charging Cable that is provided as standard with the vehicle or use a 7.4 kW AC wall mounted charger that is also provided as standard. The installation of this charger at the customer’s house will be undertaken by Tata Power Ltd, and coordinated via Jaguar Retailers. Customers may also access Tata Power’s fast expanding EZ Charge network of around 200 I-PACE compatible charging points on a use and pay basis.

Jaguar I-PACE also comes with complimentary 5 years service package, 5 years roadside assistance package, 8 years or 160 000 km battery warranty and a 7.4 kW AC wall mounted charger.

The design of the I-PACE is true to the spirit of Jaguar and the I-PACE Concept. Pronounced front wheel arches, rear diffuser, and other supercar inspired styling elements allow the I-PACE to slice cleanly through the air for maximum range and stability. It reimagines the classic Jaguar balance of sports car focus and luxury craftsmanship for the digital age. The new Pivi Pro infotainment system is a highlight of the I-PACE’s spacious, luxurious interior. Electric architecture defines the five-seater cabin’s character and handcrafted touches reaffirm the cabin’s luxury atmosphere.

I-PACE features the latest & more driver-focused technology and is the first Jaguar in India to offer Pivi Pro Infotainment System. The 31.24 cm (12.3) HD instrument cluster features completely revised graphics to give an even clearer indication of battery state of charge.

The wireless device charging pad beneath the ‘floating’ centre console also includes signal boosting, ensuring the phone’s signal remains strong for longer. A Smartphone Pack with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ is available, as is Bluetooth technology which can pair two phones simultaneously.

The I-PACE is equipped with Software over the Air (SOTA) functionality. This means Systems including infotainment, battery management and charging can be updated remotely. Using the vehicle’s built-in data connection, the latest software can be downloaded automatically.

All occupants benefit from the enhanced climate control system, which delivers smart, energy-efficient heating or cooling of up to four zones independently. When charging, customers can use the I-PACE’s pre-conditioning system (which optimises battery temperature) to also purge the cabin of allergens and ultra fine particles before beginning a journey.

The I-PACE’s linear acceleration is instantaneous with no lag and no gear shift interruptions. Its 294 kW of peak power helps accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. The 90 kWh battery is positioned within the floor, between the axles, giving a low centre of gravity and near perfect weight distribution.

Underpinned by an advanced electric vehicle architecture that delivers excellent driving dynamics while minimising weight, the I-PACE offers the perfect balance of dynamic handling and refinement.
