Electric Jaguar i-PACE EV mingling in California prior to its electric SUV launch (video)
The streets of Monaco have recently become a testing ground for the upcoming Jaguar i-Pace electric Crossover. Sporting a production-ready appearance, the vehicle has caught the attention of car makers worldwide, as Jaguar continues to make waves in the electric car market.
Jaguar Land Rover commissioned the testing of the i-Pace Electric SUV design in California, and it seems that the strategy is paying off. The i-Pace is Jaguar's first foray into the electric car market, and it has already made a significant impact.
The i-Pace EV, unveiled as a concept earlier this year, has been causing quite a stir. Its premium design and impressive capabilities have put traditional car makers on the defensive, as Tesla has managed to deliver an electric car and SUV that appeals to the market.
Jaguar has tested the i-Pace in cold weather conditions in Sweden, and has driven potential customers up California's West Coast to showcase its capabilities. The company has also conducted 11,000 hours of component rig testing for the i-Pace EV, totalling 1.5 million miles of testing.
The i-Pace EV's impressive performance has not gone unnoticed. It won the award for the year's most significant concept, and it has received more pre-orders than Jaguar can cope with. The production version of the i-Pace EV is anticipated to debut in early 2018, likely at the Geneva Motor Show, and is set to go on sale in the UK immediately after its debut.
But the i-Pace EV is not just a stylish electric vehicle. It is also set to become a one-make race series to support Formula E. Jaguar has aimed the i-Pace EV directly at the heart of Tesla, and it seems that the competition is heating up.
The i-Pace EV is capable of travelling approximately 200 miles on a single charge in real-world conditions, and it can charge to 80% in just 45 minutes. These features, combined with its production-ready appearance, suggest that the i-Pace is nearing its release.
The i-Pace EV concept was revealed, and it has been catching car makers off guard with its production-ready appearance. Jaguar has been pushing boundaries with the i-Pace, and it seems that the future of electric cars is looking bright for the British automaker. The debut date for the i-Pace EV is set for March 1, 2018, and it is shaping up to be a game-changer in the electric car market.
