Jaguar SVO boss: I-Pace SVR 'will happen'

Hot version of Jaguar’s electric SUV is a certainty, according to the man in charge

The boss of Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations arm has said it’s a question of “when, not if” the firm builds an SVR version of the I-Pace battery-electric SUV.

Michael van der Sande made the admission to Autocar, despite also acknowledging that a timeline and official development plan for the car is not yet in place. SVO is prioritising the roll-out of more volume-focused models.

SVO already develops and builds the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy race cars that support the Formula E electric race series. “Those cars all come from our base in Oxford Road,” said van der Sande, “and they’ve taught us a lot. By the time you fit the roll-cage and race kit, they’re only slightly lighter than standard.

Jaguar I-Pace Doesn’t Do So Well In Moose Test - motor1.com

The Jaguar I-Pace was released to critical acclaim in 2018, and was Europe's first ever all-electric crossover. Just don't try to avoid a car poking itself out or a child running from a sidewalk and stopping in front of you at around 50 miles per hour.

In the video, we can see that the I-Pace understeers heavily, narrowly missing and hitting cones in the process, almost as if the car weighed twice as heavy and was equipped with bad tires.

In its best attempt, we even see the I-Pace completely lock up the outside wheel after the initial evasive manoeuvre to the left, almost as if the stability control systems are fighting the car.

In most cases, the I-Pace still travels in a straight line towards the cones despite the wheels being turned in the direction to avoid danger.

Not good at all.

Lister SUV-E Concept Is A Hotter Jaguar I-Pace

Lister continues its own take on performance Jaguar’s but this time its the brand first production EV, the I-Pace.

As the title suggests, it is called the SUV-E Concept and the company will commit to producing a limited production run pending interest from customers and pre-order numbers.

The Jaguar I-Pace has received Lister’s touch both inside and out but the exterior is where we see an aggressive new body kit to go with its traditional British Racing Green paint job and trademark yellow Lister highlights.

Updated Jaguar I-Pace gets range and battery capacity boost

Flagship EV receives host of free upgrades learned from race technology

Jaguar has upgraded its electric I-Pace, introducing free software updates which promise to improve battery performance and increase range by up to 12 miles from a full charge.

The updates, which are a result of the knowledge gained from the I-Pace eTrophy race series, also include changes to the all-wheel drive system, altering the torque distribution between front and rear motors to deliver better efficiency in Eco mode. There are tweaks to the thermal management system, too, in which the active radiator vanes are closed more often to enhance aerodynamics.

Jaguar I-Pace to join nationwide NHS fleet

Jaguar Land Rover will lease 700 electric SUVs to healthcare provider as part of its plan to reduce emissions

A new deal between Jaguar Land Rover and the NHS will see 700 I-Pace electric SUVs made available for healthcare staff across the country.

The cars will be available on a three-year lease plan via Northumbria Healthcare’s NHS Fleet Solutions, and paid for by employees via salary sacrifice.

Specification details are unconfirmed, but the I-Paces are expected to be based on the entry-level S model, which is available from £64,495. Modifications will likely be limited to the addition of NHS branding, in line with the organisation’s current fleet vehicles.

ROAD TEST: Jaguar I-Pace EV400 AWD SE

TEST SUMMARY

The elephant in the room when it comes to the future of mobility in the South African market is the feasibility and development of the appropriate infrastructure required to support the forecasted inflow of electric vehicles and government’s attitude towards the taxation of such products.

JLRSA should be applauded for its pioneering attitude as well as the steps it’s already taken in terms of meeting a real-world ownership experience with the I-Pace. However, it remains to be seen at what price point the likes of Audi and Mercedes-Benz will be able to introduce their respective E-tron and EQC offerings, once the additional taxation is calculated.

Much like the evolution of the smartphone, perpetual advances in areas such as battery life and charging technologies – as well as the concentration of minds in some of the largest automobile brands in the world towards an inevitable EV-focused future – can only mean faster, lighter and better-handling products. Until then, it’s difficult to ignore the appeal and added peace of mind presented by the selection of hybrids currently on sale in SA.

Together with the quirky, city-bound BMW i3 and previous Leaf, we’ll remember the I-Pace as the first big local step towards electric mobility.

A first for SA and Jaguar! Electric I-Pace wins 2020 Car of the Year

The Jaguar I-PACE EV400 AWD SE is the 2020 AutoTrader South African Car of the Year!

This is the first time that the competition has been won by a Jaguar and also the first win by an electric car.

The accolade is the latest in a long line of victories for the all-electric I-PACE. It won the 2019 World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car awards (the I-PACE was the first model ever to win three World Car titles in the 15-year history of the awards). It also claimed the European Car of Year title last year.

Updated Jaguar I-Pace gains faster charging and fresh infotainment

Jaguar has released details of its updated I-Pace, handing the all-electric crossover a fresh infotainment system, faster charging capability and a raft of smaller updates.

Scheduled to launch in South Africa towards the end of 2020, the updated I-Pace’s powertrain again comprises an electric motor on each axle, producing an unchanged 294 kW and 696 N.m. For the record, the crossover’s range (on the WLTP system) is a claimed 470 km from its 90 kWh battery, the latter covered by an eight-year/160 000 km warranty.

As a reminder, the I-Pace was revealed in March 2018 before arriving in South Africa around a year later.

The electric crossover becomes the first Jaguar to adopt the British firm’s new Pivi Pro infotainment system, which the company says was “inspired” by smartphones (and features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). Jaguar promises the new “flat” menu structure makes navigating the system a cinch (the redesigned navigation arrangement, for instance, reduces the number of steps required to set a destination by half).

The digital instrument cluster measures 12,3 inches in diameter, while the upper touchscreen is 10 inches and the lower item five inches (Jaguar says the latter is an option on the ‘S’ model and standard on all others). The updated I-Pace will also be available with an optional wireless device charging pad, which includes “signal boosting”. The optional Meridian 3D surround sound system, meanwhile, gains two additional speakers in the cabin headliner for a total of 16 (plus a subwoofer).

Jaguar I-Pace to be used for wireless charging taxi fleet

British firm provides 25 electric SUVs for use in wireless charging test scheme in Norwegian capital city

A fleet of 25 Jaguar I-Pace EVs will be used as taxis in Oslo, Norway to trial a new wireless charging system.

The Norwegian capital has launched an initiative called ‘ElectriCity’, which includes the goal of making its taxi system emission-free by 2024. As part of the scheme, tech firm Momentum Dynamics and charge point firm Fortnum Recharge are installing a number of wireless high-powered charge points for taxis.

Jaguar Land Rover will supply 25 I-Pace models to Oslo taxi firm Cabonline and says the recently updated electric SUV has “been designed to enable” Momentum Dynamic’s wireless charging system. Engineers from the British firm have been involved in tests of the charging system.

The wireless charging system consists of a number of charging plates, each rated at 50-75kW, which are installed below the ground at various drop-off and pick-up points such as taxi ranks. It is claimed that the automatically engaging system provides between six and eight minutes of energy for each charge of up to 50kW.

Nearly-new buying guide: Jaguar I-Pace

Jaguar's first EV offers style, speed, comfort and zero emissions. Here's how to get one

Remember the days when a Jag was either a gloriously fast roadster or an iconoclastic luxury saloon beloved of rather raffish company directors? Get real, sunshine: this is the 21st century and every landlord’s favourite car brand is now more likely to be an SUV or, even more on-trend, an all-electric SUV.

Enter the I-Pace, a stunning-looking zero-emissions car that has taken its class by storm since 2018. In fact, Jaguar was the first established luxury car brand to design its own electric vehicle from scratch. It then charged into a marketplace seemingly dominated at that stage by Tesla and it has come out the other side triumphant: the I-Pace has won fans for its styling, SUV practicality and long-range capability.

Under its floor is a huge battery pack that drives all four wheels via two electric motors – one at the front and one at the back. That 90kWh battery gives the car exceptional performance and an official range of 292 miles, superior to most of its closest competitors.

Driven | Jaguar I-PACE

The Jaguar I-PACE is a tad too expensive (in South Africa) to convert thousands of people into electric motoring alone but just a short sting with this EV has given us our first legitimate desire to owning such a creation one day.

One look at the classifieds and you can find the new ones going for around R1,8m but if you are happy with a second-hand one with a little more mileage, you can get yourself a seriously good EV for R1,2 million.

Living with the I-PACE confirmed how desirable this car is, and also how practical it is. The electric driving experience with an instant response, rapid acceleration, virtual silence, massive refinement, and of course zero emissions really is rather enticing over petrol or diesel especially as a daily.
