rmc523 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Jaguar is promising to turn its I-Pace concept SUV into a full-fledged production crossover SUV within two years. It's Jaguar's way of leaping from internal-combustion power, clean over the top of plug-in hybrids, straight to zero-emission battery-electric vehicles. It says a lot about Jaguar's focus that the second SUV in its production history will also be its first electric car. It debuts this week at the Los Angeles auto show.The Indian-owned carmaker is promising the five-seat I-Pace will look, feel, handle, and perform like a proper Jaguar, too, with a 0-60-mph time of around four seconds. With 516 pound-feet of torque being pumped out of its two electric motors, the I-Pace has as much gristle as the pure-bred F-Type SVR sports car, and it has it from zero rpm. It's also promising the two motors will combine for 400 horsepower, too.It won't need to compromise on range to get its performance, with Jaguar promising the I-Pace will stretch across to 220 miles of range from its 90-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. It will also take two hours to charge on a 50-kW fast-charging DC station, or achieve 80 percent charging in 90 minutes, and Jaguar insists commuters who drive about 30 miles a day would only need charging once a week.

atomcat68 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Like the Alfa CUV, this also looks like a wagon, but I like this much better than the Alfa. And it looks much better than the Tesla Model X, its real competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Wow, I love the looks.. but won't like the price tag I am sure. I like the front end, but from C-pillar back, I'm reminded of this, sans spoiler Not a huge fan of the sharp cranked C-pillar on a CUV type vehicle. It looks tons better then the Model X that looks like a bubbletop Model S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 It's nice looking. I agree with others that it looks significantLy better than the Model X. I'm not sure what the Tesla design team was thinking on the X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the Tesla design team was thinking on the X. The X's problems lie in its' proportions. It shares the same design elements as the Model S, which looks fantastic. It's just the proportions on the X in order to be an SUV make it look too bubbly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 The Model S is a very nice looking car, which is why it is surprising the X was such a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also will say, the X's with the tiny base wheels don't look good....but the optional 22" wheels make it look far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_sallad Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Looks cool, but when is somebody going to make a non-luxury plug-in cross over?? Hopefully Ford's got something up their sleeve with the $4.5B they're pouring into electrification. Also, 50kW fast charging - lame! Should be 100kW minimum.
