Currently debating between an Etron and the ipace SE. Both coming out at the same price but the ipace on 8k miles and etron at 10k miles.
Visually inside and out, prefer the etron but the jag seems to have the better drive and a slightly better range. Anyone test driven both and compared them?

It really is hard to over-state just how incredible inefficient the Audi is. It's like they went out of their way to make it terrible.
Your right... what were I and other E-Tron purchasers thinking.

On the back of your comments I've cancelled my order and gone and bought a Kia e-Nero....rolleyes

I have an ipace and just ordered an e tron . The Audi drives fine , very refined but the i pace is significantly better to drive in terms of acceleration and handling . I would have had a second I pace but the e tron is £200 less per month to lease and the wife is happy with the e tron ....

Maybe, but at least its a strikingly attractive vehicle from the outside, and has an interior in which 5 adults can sit comfortably, in luxurious surroundings.

And can be had for only £20 per month.more than an E-tron ,(on the same 3+23, 10k per annum basis).

Its a complete no brainer....

That's the base model , no extras and has to be black paint . It goes north from there quickly ( as per all leases ... )

Metallic paint - £23.47 per month
Privacy glass - £14.87 per month
21" alloys - £29.73 per month

It's pretty well spec'd as standard to be fair, so if you don't want the 21" alloys (which reduced range & comfort) then you can get one for still under £500 per month with a limited deposit, or a total of £13,000.00 over the 24 year period for what is a 75k car (which to me seems very good).

Indeed, spec I-pace's are seriously lacking, and the cost of the SE & HSE are considerably more.

That said though, to me the simple fact is that the E-Tron better suits my requirements, so the figures side of it are somewhat irrelevant.

FYI the £450 p/m offer is only available for businesses with larger fleets, certainly not for fleets of '1' like me frown

Agreed - I've added metallic paint , as you are right it is well spec'd as standard and I already have too many black cars to keep clean ... smile

This is incorrect.

The deal is available to all business owners, as I myself have done so on a fleet on '1'.

I've gone for the optional metallic black paint, and have scheduled the car going in for ceramic coating once delivered to me.

Was going to go Galaxy Blue originally, but subsequently changed my mind as started to go off the colour. Then wanted to change to Typhoon Grey with the brown seating option but the other half wasn't convinced, so ended up with all black (safe but slightly boring).

I think that comment related to the I pace ( and I couldn't find any deals anywhere near that ) .
