An entry-level variant of the 2021 Jaguar
I-Pace has been quietly introduced in the German market dubbed the EV320 SE. In
Germany, prices for the I-Pace EV320 SE start at € 64,957 (US$ 76,631), well below
the € 75,351 (US$ 88,893) starting price of the EV400 S.
The model, which will only be available
until the end of 2020, slots below the EV400 S in the range. It uses the same
90 kWh battery as all other I-Pace models but the electric motors have been
recalibrated so they now pump out a combined 316 hp and 500 Nm of
torque.
The reduction in power means the EV320 SE
will require 6.4 seconds to hit 100 km/h compared to the 4.8 seconds
needed by the EV400 S. The electric SUV’s top speed has also been capped at 180 km/h, below the 200 km/h top speed of the 400.
Interestingly, the EV320 SE’s range remains unchanged at 470 km.
The limited-run
model comes standard with the SE equipment package that’s an optional extra on
the EV400 S. This kit includes 20-inch wheels with a distinctive six-spoke
design, an electric tailgate, electric folding and heated exterior mirrors, LED
headlights, and 14-way adjustable sports seats with grained leather and memory
functions. The SUV also lands with blind spot monitoring and other driving
assists. It benefits from all the same styling updates as the rest of the 2021
I-Pace, including the brand’s Pivi Pro infotainment system with two
touchscreens.
