Jaguar’s first 100% electric vehicle clearly impressed the jury of the 2019 Car of the Year competition. Competition was tough, and the Jaguar I-PACE took the prize versus the Renault Alpine A110.
The interior design harmonises quite well with the exterior: a careful balance between sportiness and elegance, between performance and quiet EV driving, all underlined by the Jaguar luxury with elegant leather, twin-needle stiched upholstery, and a sleek low instrument panel. Unconstrained by a transmission tunnel, spaciousness has been maximised within the SUV architecture for leg and knee room.
The “Touch Duo Pro” package includes two touch screens, a 10″ infotainment screen above the lower panel line, and a 5″ screen underneath for settings (climate and suchlike). Smart settings personalise the car to its driver(s) and learn along trips. The car can be precooled or preheated to have an ideal temperature inside before anyone even gets in it. In case of preconditioning when the vehicle is being charged, the battery is not used, thus avoiding a prolongation of charge time. Among a long list of other new features, the I-PACE offers an ionisation system that improves air quality and neutralises odours.
