Overview
Jaguar skipped the 2021 model year for the I-PACE, but it was worth the wait. The 2022 model year gets many improvements to make it a better value for buyers looking for a luxury all-electric performance SUV. This includes a complimentary 4G data plan, a 360-degree camera system, and wireless charging. A new, easier-to-operate infotainment system is also present for 2022. The best improvement is a 11.0-kW onboard charger than delivers quicker at-home charging–shaving four hours off the time it takes to fully recharge a dead battery.
Exterior
Jaguar has always been known for its rounded and eye-catching vehicles, and the 2022 I-PACE is no different. Instantly recognisable as a Jaguar, the I-PACE features an elegant and highly aerodynamic exterior. It is designed to improve efficiency by slicing through the air, and this is incredibly helpful with an all-electric vehicle to extend the driving range. The I-PACE features a flowing waistline, dramatic hood scoop, and signature rear haunches.
Interior
The I-PACEi’s sophisticated cabin environment complements its stylish and elegant exterior. Drivers are treated to nicely bolstered front seats and an elegant dashboard and console centre. It seamlessly integrates technology with control with its clean and uncluttered design.
Performance
This all-electric performance SUV acts like a sports car, offering 0-to-100km/h acceleration in just 4.8 seconds. It is bolstered by standard all-wheel drive and two electric motors that produce a combined 394 horsepower and 512 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration is quick and effortless, and the ride is comfortable and satisfying. The I-PACE has that Jaguar smoothness that makes it insanely fun to drive and also very easy to forget to watch the speed limit.
The 2022 Jaguar I-PACE offers great practicality as well as performance. It features more than enough room for five passengers, substantial rear cargo space of over 1,453 litres, and 27 litres of space in the front storage compartment. It features a 90.0-kWh battery pack that delivers an estimated 407km of driving range. With access to a standard DC fast-charging port, the I-PACE charges to 80 percent battery in as little as 40 minutes.
Infotainment
Upgraded for the new model year, the 2022 Jaguar I-PACE comes with a touch-sensitive infotainment system that includes a 10.0-inch upper touchscreen for audio as well as a 5.5-inch lower display that primarily handles the climate controls. The new software supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and shows drivers the locations of charging stations as well as their availability, cost, and estimated charging time.
Safety
The I-PACE all-electric performance SUV also instills confidence in drivers with its assortment of standard driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and more.
It is no surprise that Jaguar knew what it was doing in terms of performance and luxury when it built the 2022 I-PACE. But the automaker also showcases its excellence in electric vehicle technology in the SUV as well.
