Great interior!

Is that a new one?
Yes, it's a new one...which wasn't the plan! When you see that interior in a black car sat on 22in wheels, what are you supposed to do? Helped by a ridiculously low 1.9% Apr.

OP here. New iPace could be on my drive in a week and it'll look identical to this one! The interior probably isn't to everyone's liking, but for me it's the dogs danglies.
Damn! That looks good! Hope you have a great time owning and driving it. I think the IPace is very sensitive to what wheels are on it. The basic "S" wheels look ste, but those ones look just right.
I agree. The 22in wheels complete change the look of the car.

I have the 22inchers so tend to agree! I also love the all black exterior with the red, good choice on the performance seats too!

I'm very glad you went through with it, I'm sure be back on here after delivery to wax lyrical about the way it drives too (once you had time to prod it with a stick a few times..)

Well I brought my new iPace home on Tuesday in piss poor weather, so waited until Wednesday for a bit of sunshine for a photograph.
So far I'm loving the car and really impressed with the explosive acceleration. It feels every bit as quick as my R8 did!

When you've got used to it enough to push it, you'll find it changes direction faster than any SUV has the right to as well as the straight line mentalism of the car smile

As you bought a pre-buolt car, did you get the spec/options you wanted? I hope it's on the air springs with those big wheels!

Not got a photo of mine to hand but it's the exact same as this. That was one of the show cars, I used to build part of the JLR stand in which the new cars were revealed, and when I saw this one for the first time I ordered one with the same colour/trim/wheels etc.



I would post a photo of mine, but it's filthy smile

I don’t think you can get 22s without air

The spec is great, albeit I don't know what an HSE comes with as standard. This car has air lift on 22s, sports seats which are heated and cooled, red leather including the dash, some fancy headlining material, mood lighting that looks awesome at night (I'll take pics for you), matrix headlights and some gadget that shuts the tailgate if you wave your foot under the bumper.
As I'm a petrol head by nature, I've mostly driven it in dynamic mode and have tried a bit of slalom too. I'm loving it.

The tech stuff and heated/cooled seats, boot opener are all HSE, apart from the configurable ambient lighting which is an option I also have smile

But the performance seats, extended leather and alcantara headlining are all options - you have a fantastic spec interior and I'm sure you'll do well one day when you come to sell it.

Love that red interior. When I went to configure one it was a 7000 EUR option eek

Nicest one I've seen. Black/red interior is a great combo.
