The Jaguar I-Pace has been taken to the streets for the first
time.
Proving that it's not only a show car, but also a
fully functioning vehicle, it was driven around London, UK, by the brand's
design team, and to highlight the event, it was also subjected to a photo
shoot.
Gunning for the Tesla Model X, the I-Pace will morph
into a production vehicle by the end of the year, and it will be on the road in
the second half of 2018.
Its bold looks will be backed up by its ability to
hit 96 km/h from a standstill in around 4 seconds, thanks to a
combined output of 400 PS and 700 Nm of torque, provided
by the electric motors at the front and rear axles.
The NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) estimates give
it a zero-emission range of more than 500 km, but since their
measures aren’t exactly accurate, expect less in the real world. However, its
autonomy shouldn’t be a concern, as charging the 90 kWh lithium-ion battery up
to 80 percent, using the 50kW DC, takes just 90 minutes.
