“The Jaguar I-Pace is the first salvo across the bows of Tesla”

[MoSSaN69]

Deputy editor John McIlroy takes a look at the new Jaguar I-Pace, the British brand's first pure-electric car And so it begins. The Jaguar I-Pace, revealed last night via an online presentation heavy on celebrity and heavier still on self-congratulation, is the first salvo across the bows of Tesla from an established, ‘premium’ manufacturer. The British brand is desperately proud to have brought a pure-electric car of this type to market before Audi or Mercedes. But it’s the hype surrounding Tesla that it really wants to tap into. The specs look promising - nearly 400bhp and a 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds. One of the segments during the launch was a video showing the I-Pace taking on - and beating - the Tesla Model X in a race. Range of about 300 miles under the tougher and supposedly more realistic WLTP test cycle should do the trick too - for now, at least.
