2019 Jaguar I-Pace - Review & Road Test 

The adjusting audio with the volume knob was subtle, but absolutely clever!

the audio edit bit with the volume knob was very creative

It makes sense to have the volume control knob on that side, as the driver usually controls it from the steering wheel.

surely the driver can adjust the volume from the steering wheel controls?

Just took delivery of the I-Pace last week. It's an amazing vehicle. I don't think the panoramic glass roof would be a problem here in SoCal since it filters out UV and IR rays. It lets light in but not the heat. The standard seats come in vegan leather just like the Teslas. Leather is an option as is cloth fabric. LED headlights and taillights are standard. Could never get over instant torque when accelerating. It handled the heavy rain and the street flooding with aplomb. Time will tell it's reliabiity.

A Toyota Corolla comes standard with LED headlights 🤦🏻‍♂️

Did you say “higher” trims get led headlights on a 72k car?

As for the volume control... I'm thinking Jag put it so far away so that the passenger can operate it, and the drive 99% of the time would use the volume on the steering wheel.

I just test drove one today--my first electric.The AWD and acceleration were stellar.This thing would beat most gas cars under 100k and the power is instant and --perfect.It-- is easily as fast as the other fastes car I ever drove and that was a 2014 cadilliac CTS-V--that is the level of acceleration--all the time--reliably--no noise--just power.And like he said--you can hit 60 in 4 seconds let off the gas pedal and it just slows down.This is the next step in cars.I am sold--but I am not sold at 100k.If I won the lottery I would get this as a local car because of the range.I also had it in bad weather and it easily did a mid 5-- 60 in rain.I mean it would be worth owning in the shock values of easily beating most other cars.It is so fast that you can barely stay on the pedal unless you are on a straightway with a long view--and the weird thing is there is no resistance at all--speed hardly matter--it has linear acceleration with speed meaning little.You could probably be going 100 mph and hit the pedal and it could probably hit its 124 top speed within a few seconds--there is no lag on torque--and it is silent.

When he said "With the power combined" I was expecting a Captain Planet montage.

Oh that laggy screen. It's 2019 now Jag. Come on - a 100 dollar Android phone used by taxi drivers in India is less laggy!!!

Using Jaguar brand for 18+ years and this is my horrible review with the I-PACE. I've had a horrible experience with Jaguar's I-Pace. I had the vehicle for a year, and have only been able to drive it for approximately 2k miles. It has had issues with battery, software malfunction, charging system, and even when you would try to start the car it would make noises. Its a shame that Jaguar has tainted its brand with such a problematic car. If you want to be walking to places instead of driving, BUY a Jaguar I-PACE.

The dead spot on the brake pedal is where the foot brake controls regen - once its firm your using disk brakes nice Job

How they managed to get such poor mileage from that battery size, I just don't know!?!?

We do have to remember Land Rover/Jaguar reliability.

You forgot something important.The I Pace is very fast on curvy roads. Ok, maybe it´s not so important in the US but in Europe it is.

90 minutes for charging to 80% on DC "Fast" Chargers? That's awful. Tesla Model X does that in only 30 mins.

Entertainment Mike Strikes Again.... He gripes about a volume control being too far to reach when the (his) control is directly on the steering wheel. The dash volume control is for the passenger to use (makes more sense).

Did you ever consider using the volume control on the steering wheel? It's even closer than the start button.

I like the editing cuts compared to other car reviewers

Ain’t gonna lie, this in the only electric car I would like to own except a Tesla

I have always loved Jaguars of all types BUT, isn’t one of the primary complaints of all Jaguar/Land Rover products the electrical gremlins? Do I really want to own a Jaguar which relies on electrical systems working properly?

there is something wrong with that frunk hood/bonet alignment, its lifted on the driver side

If only it was actually worth it, compared to any Tesla.

The screen looked laggy even on video.

The video editing is mindblowing!

Electric car reviews are normally the same drab and boring "range" and "instant torque" monotones. But I have to admit, I actually enjoyed watching this one. It was different and interesting. Especially when sprinkled with touches of humour throughout. Well done Micah.

Just wait a couple of years and it will be worth 35k. Gotta love depreciation.

You can actually option in a shade for the sun roof

I just pulled the trigger on an I-pace, after much deliberation. I checked-out the Tesla and Hyundai Kona EV as well. I went with the Jag because it drove the nicest and had the look, feel and everything I was looking for. I honestly wish it was more of a 2-door sport and a bit shorter but we can only buy what's on the market and this seemed like the best choice. Oddly, I own a Ferrari 360 spyder, Hummer H2 and Honda HRV.....this I-pace seems to combine elements of all 3 cars: efficiency, power/speed, handling, ability to go a bit offroad, capacity to carry passengers and of course environmental. After 7 years of driving the Hummer I'm going to need 10 years of EV to balance-out my environmental footprint, LOL...but yeah, VERY happy with this vehicle!!!!!

the panel gap on the front frunk is unacceptable for an almost 100k car

72k car, cloth seats.

I love how you described the incredible lack of a sun shade! for the glass roof.

You are obviously not representative of most experienced EV drivers who, nearly all of them, prefer as much regenerative braking as possible. I don’t know why they would have an inexperienced EV driver evaluating an EV. Entertaining presentation none the less :-)

that lcd screen is so laggy choppy when swiping

Electric cars are far easier to make reliable. This is made in Austria close to Germany, not the UK. Jag has used reliable experienced brands to make to battery and motors (LG). Tesla has a terrible record for putting cars together being a new company experimenting a lot. Panel gaps, doors not working, easy to break into and steal from etc. They came last in which reliability report survey in the UK. Last of all makes. AND they are making an electric car - which SHOULD be a lot more reliable. I think this Jag will be a very reliable car with low servicing costs. That will mean it will hardly depreciate much.

The placement of the volume knob and start/stop button make perfect sense to me. The driver needs access to the start/stop button, not the passenger. The driver can control volume from the steering wheel and hence does not have to reach for the volume knob. That's for the passenger.

Great review. It’s a very good looking car from the outside, but some genuinely peculiar design oversights inside

Tesla Model Y is at least 25K cheaper, is faster, has more luggage space, much faster to charge, Tesla charger network is second to none, and so on. How is Jaguar planning to sell this car????

U have an amazing video editing/making skill very clean and appealing.

they have hill hold assit. step on the brakes on an incline then it will automatically hold the brakes when you release it

Jaguar I-Pace EV400, Audi e-tron & Mercedes EQC 400. Lots of choices for luxury EV SUV this coming year. The Jag looks the classiest, but I think the MB looks better in and out. Still you almost can't go wrong with any of them really.

Why does jaguar report car range of 292 miles on their eu site and then “up to” 234 miles on their US site? Also charging is an issue that they seriously need to address, like where are all the fast chargers they can use.

Micah : thanks so much for the correct pronunciation of “Jaguar” 😘

I really want this. I'd never buy a Bag but this seems like the best electric car.

The 120v charger is fine for some driving styles. The vast majority of people are not recharging from 0%. Which is what a lot of car reviewers portray. Most people are only replacing the 30-40 miles they used in a day which you can easily get back overnight from 120v charger. Depending on how much you drive determines how big your charger should be. But there is security in a faster charger.

Did that jag ended up in a massive slide?

I like this reviewer. He's got spunk and humor.

This micah guy is an absolute peanut

Hope this means an all-electric Range Rover is in the works. It would probably need a 150kwh battery pack to make it viable.

I think it's fabulous!

What is with the hood gap on the driver side

I'm ignoring it. Bought the Model 3 - everything else now seems too busy in the cockpit. The Jag has less range, slower charging, a slow screen and a useless radiator grill - why?

Holy shit that charges slowy

It's great that someone is making an ok EV, but i-Pace is higher priced, slower, shorter range, much less efficient, and has a terrible user interface compared to Tesla Model 3.

Jaguar and electronics....yeah I'll pass on that one

Hey Micah! I love the roofs look but not having a way to black out that roof would actually be a deal breaker for me here in the North East with our HOT HUMID Summers these days. I think you said the price while I was writing this comment and I missed it. Is it more than $25K?

Thanks for an amazing video @MicahMuzio I would buy this though.

Hey, I have that shirt. The Japanese supposedly says "Oneness between horse and rider" which fits the NA quite well.

$70000 for 250 miles only, not a good deal at all. The Tesla Y is much cheaper and has 216 Miiles! The control buttons and screens indeed are too complex, esp trying to adjust while driving. The best thing is it looks really great!

This is the car that pull me into ev world. Respect!

Why does the "bonnet" shut line look so wide and uneven?

I'd be very shocked if Jag didn't include a hill hold feature like Tesla does for when you aren't using creep mode. When coming to a stop, push the brake pedal a little more.

THAT SHIRT! I like it! It should be a perfect match for a Miata review, or the new Mazda3 review.

If you go over a kerb will you be at risk of puncturing the battery pack and causing an explosion

Great review!

Great review as usual, hilarious gags as usual, charming reviewer (guess what) :D Damn, I'd need a cigarette if I were smoker....

The laggy screen is huge dealbreaker

What happened to the Pringles can test?

Come to the UK, we don’t have problems with a panoramic roof, no sun.

Idea: Micah Muzio and Brian Cooley review several cars together over the course of an hour. Seems like it would be the most fun video on YT. Thoughts?

Could do a sweepstake on how long those Jaguar door handles last.... I guess 3 years and 2 months.

7:48 That skid though

Look, this is a v1 product. For that it seems really mature. I have a model three and wish it had hud, 360 view and power hatch. Of course the 3 has all the tesla stuff which is great. I like that there are no tesla dealers. If you like going to dealerships this is a advantage to jag. I bought my car on line and it was painless. Also jag service centers are really nice. Excellent review.

Kona EV and E-Niro ?

Entertaining car reviews. Kinda like Seinfeld doing car reviews.

Eventhough I am a fan of tesla I hope all electric cars will prosper against ICE cars, that's why don't agree with the critique about the glass roof. Tesla has it and you didn't complain as a greenhouse effect. ipace is a great carm

Not to sound like every RU-vid comment, but I don’t really consider the I-pace a suv, more of a raised wagon or hatchback.

those cupholders are right from a 2005 ford taures! but really like this car.

Still the best looking EV by far IMO...Do you like luxury?...

Didn't mention once how sexy it looks

Nice Genesis/Phil Collins reference

Where can I get that T-shirt with the red car on it??? 👍

He actually left a faint skid mark 7:45

Like problem with getting Model X is that it doesn't feel luxury or premium at all, this spartan cheap looking interior is ok for Model 3 and Y, but X and S should be more special and also offer real leather. Also thanks to Tesla that is that slow for opening ordering in my country, I'm getting I-Pace instead of Model 3 LR.

Jaguar only sold about 18,000 iPace in 2019 and are now giving them away for $20k off. If you thought they were good last year you can get one today! Cheap! lmao If you bought one in 2019 for full price, you should contact Jaguar and get the $20k they owe you.

That rotary dial with multiple functions is worse than the touchscreens people like to complain about. Requires more than a glance to operate.

i have the hse pkg ...i love it nest EV ever owned so far ...i live in dallas texas ... if anyone in my area is buying one of this ..go to ft worth autobahn jag dealer ...they have great deals on them ...i bought from them...cool ppl to deal with

Jaguar has a lot of catching up to do

A lot sexier than any Tesla imo. Definitely going on my vision board, I gotta have this. 😍

Wow Micah look at those guns

only 52 cubic feet of storage, Tesla Model Y has 68 Cubic feet !

WTF who has that type of time to wait 90 minutes at a charging station ( assuming they even exist in places outside of major cities)? Sounds like it takes a week to charge from home. I guess if you are worth millions you can have 1 put in your home.... Or if you`re not, you can get a loan

I expected the interior dashboard to be a bit less...traditional.

You need to upgrade to Adidas Ultraboosts.

JAG. U. R! Come correct or not at all. KBB is so classy. The delicate touch song needs to be on Spotify ASAP.

I think it's overpriced for what it offers

An electric car that doesn’t look like shit is what stops a lot of people. Cheers to Jag plus the battery warranty and reputable service. You be lucky to get a Tesla if you buy one let alone service if it breaks. No thanks.

Why would anyone pay so much for that thing ?

Wayy over priced
