Jaguar I-Pace lease thread

[Jasper3.0]

Following on from the successful threads for Volvo’s, Golf R’s etc, I thought I would start one for those of us that have FTQ for an I-Pace lease.

I particular to try and gain an understanding of delivery and build progress.

So mine was ordered on the 24th for deliver in April.

I have a jag order number, so fingers crossed.

The offer was 1+17 @ £400 for 5k pa. iirc the fee was £230 ish.

The order had been placed with a Jag dealer in Manchester via Jaguar Contract Hire.

I think the deal closed on the 29th, but there was some suggestion that there might be something else in Q4.

Horses for courses I guess. My mileage has taken a huge drop and 5-7k is what I am currently doing, I was after a lease and yes, I could have got someth8ng cheaper. But I fancied a full EV, I was looking at the Hyundai Kona, but the lease costs were significantly more expensive.

I thought it was too good to be true, but seems to be alright thus far.

[Jasper3.0]

My thoughts exactly. Ordered X sfrom the factory sold Y therefore need to shift Z.

They were available to anyone. I picked up on it from the lease deals thread on here and posters on speakev as well. Right place, right time for a change.

[Jasper3.0]

Enjoy. None were near enough to us to make the trip.

Which one are you going to?

Pictures please.

The Fleetprices deal was advertised for a number of weeks. I got in just before it was closed.

I have a white S model coming in April.

Cant wait.

Do you have a JLR order number? Or a build week yet?

Do you know the supplying dealer?

[Jasper3.0]

Indeed, it will be interesting to see how the lease companies attempt to factor this in.

I checked my contact last night and the price is not fixed until the finance is signed. If they don’t swallow it then (applying the same basis as options) it will be another £55pcm.....

[Jasper3.0]

For those that have ordered. I checked with the lease company today re. MY20 changes, they checked with the dealer who advised that the car will be MY20 and hence will have heated windscreen, heated washer jets and heated steering wheel.

Which is a bit of a result as I had asked for prices for the cold climate pack, but it added too much per month.

[Jasper3.0]

Nope,only the post from a chap on the I-PACE forum and speakEV who ordered and SE via another broker who has had his deal pulled. I’ll email fleet prices in the morning and attempt to see what is what. If anyone hears from fleet prices, please post on here.

Thought I would post this. Jaguar in Holland have started handing out this memo to customers re. range. Apologies for google translate. I posted this on the i-pace forum:

Now there are 1,000 Jaguar i-pace on the road! And we count more every day. Customer first read that the i-pace would have a range, according to the NEDC, of 543km, then we get the results of the WLTP with a range of 480 that was later adjusted to 470km. Now that we are driving more and more, we also receive more feedback about the range with current weather conditions between 270km and 390km. Gragg we inform you to deal with this.
WLTP

The WLTP driving cycle is divided into four parts with different average speeds: low; average, fast and very fast. Each part includes a variety of row phases, stops, accelerations and braking. Of every type of car, every powertrain (engine and gearbox combination) is tested, with a WLTP outcome for the car in its lightest version (the most economical) and heaviest version (least economical).

The WLTP was developed with the aim to be used as a global test cycle for various regions in the world. So that CO2 emissions from polluting substances on the world scale would also be comparable. Although the WLTP indeed has a global common xxxx, the EU and other regions will apply the test in different ways, depending on legislation for road traffic needs.

Actual range Jaguar i-Pace in practice, between 270km - 555km

Customers will quickly notice on the basis of their driving behaviour and the temperature will differ so that the range will be less than the WLTP figures.

City Winter: 390km / 242mi
Highway Winter: 270km / 167mi
Combined Winter: 325km / 201mi
City Summer: 555km / 344mi
Highway Summer: 340km / 211mi
Combined Summer: 430km / 267mi

The actual range strongly depends on speed, driving behaviour, climate and route.

I suspect they're getting complaints from those new to EV driving, especially considering the i-Pace is quite poor on economy - and now winter's here those poor figures are even worse

This. It has even made it into the press:

Looks like the first fleetprices I-PACE are starting to be delivered. A chap on speakev received his yesterday (by trailer).

Point to note...... no car mats included 😀

When was your build date?

[Jasper3.0]

Jaguar told me it was due to be built on Friday. Fleetprices said w/e 15th March. Not sure who to believe.

Jaguar now advise build date of 01/03 and delivery to dealer of 05/04.

Anyone had updates / delivery yet?

Is it on 18” or 20” wheels?

[Jasper3.0]

Having driven a demo on 22" wheels and air suspension and my car of 18" and steel suspension. I think that the better option would be mid size wheels 20" and air suspension. Not decrying the 18" and steel suspension, it is very good given what is being asked to do, but if it was my own money, I would go for 20" and air, with the dynamic settings. If I had 22" wheels I would be paranoid. The salesman when handing over the demo said 'whatever you do, don't kerb the wheels'!

The standard Meridian is fantastic, just feed it with lossless recordings via the USB and it really shines.

For me, ideal specification would be:

- S (why spend any more?)
- White (as the lighter colours show up the body structure / curves better IMHO)
- Black pack
- Black 20" Wheels
- Adaptive air
- Cheapest seat with lumbar support as I have a bad back and I am not sure if the seat is the problem - 1st long trip on Thursday so we will find out
- Driver pack

You don't need anything else. And I'm really missing the adaptive cruise from my Golf (I had become lazy!).

Folks, for those of us that have them, there appears to be a recall going out to tweak the regen failure reaction time.
