Jaguar I-Pace


The Jaguar I-Pace all-electric crossover seats five, has an official
range of 234 miles, and is a quick and quiet car that handles nimbly
and doesn’t consume a drop of gas. The ride is firm, yet comfortable.
The interior is luxurious with an attractive combination of charm
and high-tech, including dual screens for the infotainment and cli-
mate control systems and an awkward-to-use pushbutton gear selec-
tor. The I-Pace is the first real challenger to Tesla and can be an alter-
native to either the Model S sedan or X SUV. But we found it takes
a long 13 hours to charge the 90 kWh battery from nearly empty
through a 240-Volt connection. Jaguar says that on a DC fast charger,
the I-Pace can be charged to 80 percent in 40 minutes.

Jaguar F-Pace


Jaguar’s compact SUV shares its rear-wheel-drive platform with the
XE and XF. The F-Pace is quick, thanks to its 340-hp, supercharged
3.0-liter V6, but the omnipresent engine drone quickly becomes
tiring. The S uses a 380-hp version of this engine. A 2.0-liter turbo
is now the base engine, and a diesel is also available. A smooth
eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are standard. The taut
and nimble F-Pace is one of the best-handling SUVs, contributing to
the lively driving experience. However, the ride is stiff and choppy.
The seats are comfortable, but interior quality doesn’t match some
competitors. The infotainment system is behind the times, utilizing
a slow and fussy touch screen. The A/C system isn’t always up to the
task. A number of safety features, including lane keeping assist and
automatic emergency braking, are standard for 2019.
