Just picked up my I Pace

It’s smooth, just a quarter of a second behind reality which is the difference between nearly parked and in the shrubbery
I did a check just now on mine. I turned on the camera as someone was walking behind the car. I could see their position in the rear view mirror and it seemed in sync with the position shown on the camera. Also no jerkiness. Perhaos they have applied some kind of an update depending upon the build date of the car?

Interesting, I’ll ask Thanks
I borrowed one last week whilst my XJR was being serviced.
I’m used to driving 550bhp 5L Supercharged Jags but I was very very impressed with the I Pace. It was above and beyond what I expected,
It was fast and smooth. Sporty and nimble. Felt well built.
It looked fabulous in Silver. Several people during the day asked me about it.
I never expected to like it.
Two weeks ago I sold my BMW i8 after 3 years. I never really took to it. Found the dual electric/petrol power system a bit odd. It looked great but I preferred driving a fast petrol.
I’d say the I Pace drives far better than the i8.
The only negatives are that the internal screens seemed very slow to react and I found the seats uncomfortable. I wish the seat base was flatter. Most of modern jags have raised sides to the seats that catch a nerve for me.
Truth is I’d buy one tomorrow if the seats suited me.
Excellent first attempt at an EV by Jaguar.

Out of interest, how are you finding the performance compares between the i-pace and your Tesla is real world driving?
It’s very close though I think the Tesla was slightly quicker if I’m honest But the I Pace is quick enough and has the useful typical electric instant response

Thought I'd drop an update on the ugly olds mans gold car......
Positives…
Build quality is really good, feels very solid.
Really comfy, exceptionally quiet and relaxing.
Love the premium textile.
It's a much better size than the Tesla which was so wide and long it was cumbersome.
Negatives…
The range readout is very pessimistic, it shows just over 200 miles when full, reality is I can get 230 odd, used to get 240-250 out of the Tesla, odd since both are 90kWh batteries
Backup camera is dangerously laggy, the picture is jerky and slow to update so don’t rely on it.
The infotainment is OK ish but very slow to boot up.
The matrix lights are like witchcraft, superb but I cannot fathom how to activate them. They’re currently on but no idea how I did it and I’ve read the book twice on it, so now I daren’t touch it!
Dissapointed I couldnt get a heated steering wheel.
Overall it’s drives ver much like the Tesla only it’s been screwed together properly and doesn’t need resetting 3 or 4 times a week!
That sounds like a long list of negatives but I’m really pleased with it.
A lot of early reviews seam to criticise the I Pace as being in inefficient and having poor range compared to a Testla, but your results suggest it is not far behind. More what one would expect really as power train and indeed overall efficiency must be very well understood by now by all the manufactures and maximising range is everything with EVs.Positives…

At low speeds its not bad but looses out at higher speeds.I did a 95 mile run the other day and it used 72miles of range
bertie said:
In reality I’m finding the range is pretty similar, however the range calculated and displayed on the dash is very pessimistic.

Its not that far off tbh over mixed driving.I did a 95 mile run the other day and it used 72miles of range

Reality is range is very similar between Tesla and Jaguar.
The Tesla was much more optimistic on it's range calculations
The Jaguar was pessimistic on the dash display, but in reality it has more than it says.
Jaguar have now published a range calculator for the iPace:

Motorway driving at average 57mph (who does that in car?), 10C - 177 miles ??https://www.jaguar.com/jaguar-range/i-pace/electri...

150 miles range is enough for UK M-ways. In traffic that's 2.30-3hrs of travelling. It took me 90 minutes to do just 60 miles the other day along the M6 and that was with no real bad congestion. If you have kids and on a family trip that is more than enough time to need a stop.On the other hand if your doing a time limited work trip, with no chance of destination charging than even a 300 mile range EV is limtied compared to any combustion car.
For most people though the second situation is rare, and if you are a two car family than you simply use the combustion car.
So, update......
Still loving the car, especially the premium textile interior, really nice place to be.
Went in a mates recently who has leather and I'm really pleased I went premium textile.
Range calcs seem to be sorting themselves out and being more realistic, but the display still only says 210 miles or so when fully charged when reality is more like 230-240 in mixed driving.
It's super comfy and plenty of interior space, especially in the back, but the car's a great size, very useable in traffic and parking.
Only gripe really is the infotainment which is still just OK but certainly not a patch on the system in my wifes new BMW.

What’s lacking in the infotainment system? My XF has good voice rec, Apple Play, Android Auto, a good SatNav, OTA updates, a decent sound system. Quite customisable, works well overall. Still loving the car, especially the premium textile interior, really nice place to be.

Wouldn’t mind gesture control but not sure I need much more.
I’d have thought the I Pace was at least at the level of the XF.

It’s ok, it’s just not great.Wouldn’t mind gesture control but not sure I need much more.

It’s behind BMW / Audi by quite a margin but if you’ve not experienced them it’s fine.
It’s a bit clunky on the UI/ UX design and not responsive, a bit laggy.
It’s not terrible, just not great.
