Electrifying performance and a luxurious ride makes Jaguar’s Tesla-killer ready for the future.
ELECTRICITY is great. Flip a light switch and you can instantly see in the dark, or plug in your phone and it soon gets charged up.
In the case of the Jaguar I-Pace, push your right foot and you instantly hit Warp Factor 9.
Ok, not that fast. But the I-Pace is definitely more Millenium Falcon than F-16 Fighting Falcon.
Created in a world where liquefied dinosaurs still rein king, Jaguar’s all-electric debutante stands out as one of a rare few electrically-powered beasts.
Unfamiliarity of its ilk soon breeds curiousity. People look at it with askance. What is it? How do you drive it? Need petrol or not, ah?
Shaped like a sports car but called an SUV, it’s a confusing dichotomy, but the vagaries of semantics aside, what’s clear is that the I-Pace is, definitively, the future.
And it fittingly looks like nothing else on the road. In traffic, it’s fun to watch drivers, fingers gesticulating, puzzling over this sleek brute weaving its way silently in and out of lanes.
In bright orange – Photon Red in Jag speak – and 22inch alloys with carbon fibre inserts, the visual drama is only tempered by its silent running.
