Jaguar I-Pace Spied Testing as It Gets Ready for Production
Jaguar‘s all-electric crossover should be making its debut early next year.
Spy photographers have caught a pair of prototype Jaguar I-Pace crossovers testing, wearing the same camouflage we saw earlier this year. There aren’t very many secrets with the upcoming I-Pace, as the British automaker has already confirmed it will use a 90-kWh battery that will return over 310 miles (500 kilometers) of all-electric range, although that’s on the generous New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). That means in North America, it should get about a 220-mile (354 km) range on a single charge.

Thanks to two electric motors, look for the Jaguar I-Pace to produce around 400 horsepower. Originally rumored to debut in production guise at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Jaguar I-Pace will now likely at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show or 2018 Geneva Motor Show.
Production of the Jaguar I-Pace will be handled by Magna Steyr in Austria.
