Electric cars, they're like being vegan...
You know, it's about looking different...
Looking cool...
And most of all, it's about saving the environment!
And the latest one to join the club after the Nexon, the ZS EV, the Kona, and the Mercedes EQC is...
As you must have guessed from the title of the video...
The Jaguar I-Pace!
So, here are five things you need to know about the Jaguar I-Pace...
Now roll the thing...
All right, number one...
The looks...
Usually, Jaguars are known for having long bonnets and...
Stubby yet sleek rear-ends...
Not this one!
The bonnet is short and low, and it is the first Jag to have a cab-forward stance...
And that's mainly because it has been designed around an electric powertrain...
So, there's aerodynamic trickery all over the I-Pace...
For example, this front grille over here...
Which lets the air flow in and out through the giant vent on the hood...
Then, there are these veins on the bumper that open whenever the battery and the powertrain needs a little extra cooling...
Followed by the door handles that close flush with the body like a Tesla...
And that spectacular integrated spoiler!
Legend has it that some of these bits have been inspired by the C-X75 supercar...
So, does it look good enough to be on a Bond flick?
No, it looks like the right car that you would use to drop your kids off at the school...
And then, you know, sneakily creep up on Mr Bond later!
So. on the inside...
Those new looks along with those axle mounted motors...
Yes, I said motors...
We'll get to that in a bit...
Those motors have allowed for acres of space...
And the features are on par with any Jaguar out there...
Leather interiors, JLR's PIVI Pro infotainment system, a Meridian sound system, and even a heads-up display!
Up next on our list is the powertrain...
And no, you're not going to find it in there!
The I-Pace has a 90-kWh lithium-ion battery delivering a range of 470 kilometres...
So, it's basically 370 to 380 kilometres of range in the real world...
But does it drive like a Jaguar?
I wish I could tell you, but there are two rather big dudes making sure we don't drive it out of here...
Yet!
What we can tell you is that it has been developed using Jaguar's experience from Formula E racing...
So, we're looking at 400 PS of power and 696 Nm of torque from zero RPM...
And it can reach 100 kilometres per hour from a standstill in just 4.8 seconds...
So, it's basically the fastest Jag out there...
But that's not all...
The I-Pace comes with a double-wishbone front suspension and integral link rear suspension...
All-wheel-drive system, regenerative braking with high and low modes...
And get this...
Optional air suspension...
So that, you can raise the ride height and put that all-wheel-drive to good use!
Okay, so, number four on our list is the chassis!
Jaguar sure has done a number on this one...
Because we are talking highest torsional rigidity of any Jaguar...
And perfect 50-50 weight distribution...
I can't wait to drive this beauty out there on the open roads...
So, stay tuned to PowerDrift for that epic video!
And no, we're not done with this yet...
A lot of you must be saying to yourself...
That's alright...
But, what about the price?
That comes up next, that's number five on our list...
Jaguar has priced their first-ever EV a little over the Rs 1 crore mark...
Quite similar to the EQC...
Yup, very exciting and here's another bonus fact...
This car right here has won over 60 awards worldwide...
And, what I'm trying to tell you is...
That many people cannot be wrong now, can they?
The I-Pace then, is like vegan food...
Something like the Impossible Burger...
Looks promising, promises to be tasty...
And more importantly, it is great for the cute and cuddly ones out there...
I meant, the ones out there in the wild...
