It is worth noting again that the IPACE is getting a facelift..

Struggling to spot the facelift but the updated infotainment system should be a massive plus.

Great article thanks. But 4th in Jaguar's sales list? M3 was best selling car in the UK in Feb or March cant remember which. The IPace doesn't seem to have tickled the public's imagination in quite the same way. No idea why. I like it. But the S on its small standard rims looks wrong. Like its trying to squeeze into its shoes.

I drove past a parked silver HSE ipace yesterday and it did look very nice indeed. The wheels do make such a difference as everytime I see the lower spec cars, I always think thank god I didn’t get one!

Yep, someone in our building has a black "base" I Pace with "small" multi-spoke wheels, doesn't look good at all imho.
While I think the i pace is a very attractive car otherwise.

S wheels are 19", SE and HSE come on 20" which still looks a little small IMHO. The top of the range 22" wheels you see on a lot of press cars are a £3k option on all specs unfortunately.

They're a nice car but even on the HSE if you want the big wheels, panoramic roof etc. you're looking at adding £5k+ in options and ending up with an £80k+ list price.

Still looks a lot better value than the iX3 though..

According to everything I can find, the S has 18”. See even the jag site.

That's not what I get on the website. The 18" comes up as standard, and there is no 19" option.

Very strange. Those are the old style 18's. Possible you're using an old link for a pre-facelift configurator?
https://buildyour.jaguar.co.uk/jag2/r/specpack/_/e...

On mine I get the new wheels in 18" or 19" (both without charge) on the S.



Hopefully I'm right as they're a significant improvement.

I get that if I follow your link, but the 18" was what I got going through the jaguar.co.uk website when posted before. Maybe it was a cached version and using your link has rebooted it. I have now gone through the main site and get your wheels so I think you're right now.

I don't think this changes my mind though, I think I'm going for the model 3 Performance [Performance upgrade]. However, at least it improves the offering slightly, the 18" multispoke are really not good.

I would suggest they were thrown in to assist in keeping the cost down for those ridiculously cheap 5k mile lease offers we saw 18 months ago.

As someone with a Model 3 Performance I came to the same conclusion about the iPace. Enjoy. smile

This is like the black one I was talking about.



A discredit to Jaguar to even offer that car, at that price, on those wheels imho.

Thanks, I am going for white exterior and white interior, feel like it's a stupid choice but I like it in white and the white interior looks stunning in pictures.

I am just holding off ordering in case the lease price comes down to reflect the current economic climate. They seem to be doing so on private leases but not through the NHS deal yet.

The only last hurdle is insurance, it is my wife that works for the NHS and the insurance offer only covers business use for NHS use. I need to get my own insurance. This is fine and I prefer to do so, but apparently not all trusts accept third party insurance. So all of this could be just a wasted dream! I'll see shortlty when I press order.

My only regret in ordering my S is that I didn't get the white interior.
Not a big fan of white exterior on cars but on non SUVs I don't mind them that much.
