Jaguar's first ever electric car has finally been revealed.The launch demonstrated the incredible performance of the I-Pace as it was pitted against two Tesla Model Xs in a 0-60mph and back to zero challenge in footage from Mexico City.

The electric jaguar topped its US rival thanks to a 0-60mph time of just 4.5 seconds, its twin 394bhp motors and powerful brakes.

The much-anticipated model has gone through 200 prototypes, been tested by 500 engineers, driven 1.5million miles and endured 11,000 hours of machine testing.

As Jaguar's first ever electric car it doesn't come cheap with prices starting from £63,495.

But that gets you some seriously impressive kit, including a 298-mile battery that'll charge to 80% capacity on a 50kW charger in 1hr 25min while 30min charge will give 80 miles of range.

The model is also compatible with 100kW public(ultra-fast)chargers, which will give an 80% charge in 40min. At home, a 7kW wall box will charge the battery from 0% to 80% in 10 hours.

The I-Pace measures 4682mm long with a wheelbase of 2990mm.
The clever EV will load personal settings to give you an accurate range based on how you drive.









Other personal preferences like temperature, music and seat position are also saved by the I-Pace's artificial intelligence so it can set the car up when it senses your key approaching.

The I-Pace is also fitted with Amazon Alexa so you can ask any Alexa device for information about the car that's stored in Jaguar's remote app.That includes if the car is locked, what the charging status is and if you have enough range to get to work.

It'll also remind you if you forget your phone in the car, suggest contacts to call, pre-heat your car before the morning commute and even control your home's heating, lights and doors.

In a Jaguar first, there's also over-the-air wireless software updates so owners will get the latest tech without having to visit a dealer.

The new car is on sale right now with several trim levels depending on how much you're willing to spend.

The CEO of Jaguar Land Rover said "Where other companies talk about the future, we build it.

"We have torn up the rule book to create the newest member of the Pace family, the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace.

"With zero tailpipe emissions, no CO2 and no particulates, it moves us dramatically closer to our vision of a clean, safe and sustainable future."

What do you think?

Interior looks so much like the velars.

Electric cars are gradually taken over the roads of developed and developing countries...

I hope Nigeria wakes up b4 it's too late

The advent of electric cars is a good thing for the environmental and the future. Bad for OPEC

Nice. Good for Nigerian environment. Let oil marketers go kill themselves

Jaguar again, dats how my neighbor acquired one ,months later one pad like dat went bad and he need to buy all for #200k nah so my man park d car for like 6months ooo. Hope dis one is cost efficient?

In these parts we still dey find oil hahahaha

the main thing that caught my attention is the charger, 50Kilowatt!!! It is not going to work well here if nothing is done about electricity. If it has to be charged with gen, then it should be some real big big gen.

While FG is pumping in resources in exploring for oil deposits.

Countries without vision or visionary leaders won't succeed in this present world.

With technology on top speed, we may never be able to catch-up with the first world at this pace of cluelessness and lack of vision

My Love for Jaquar is spiritual

If it's coming to nigeria, they should make sure they produce power bank. Otherwise, ayam not buying.

Not to buy it but to maintain it

NIGER DELTA GO SOON DRINK THEIR OIL

And some where in the west africa, a country still feels the best investment is spending billions to look for oil in the chad basin.

Unveil it however you like, I no get money to buy that one now


To car experts, please what fancy car, with navigation system can I get at the range of 1.5-1.8, and with good fuel economy?

In addition, if any Nissan Teana user sees this, please mention me, I av some questions to ask before I put money on the car.

Thank you.

Can you wake a dead man from sleep?

Josh44s:


I will advice you go for a Toyota Corolla Le. Best car for Nigerian road with good fuel economy. If you can save a little more up to 2.1m then you are good to go with Toyota Corolla S 2007 full option. It’s what I drive. I guarantee you, it’s so comfortable.

I don't really care about the road. The car won't be used in areas with bad roads.

Toyota corolla 2007 S seem cool, buy I kind of want something with a fancy (big screen) dashboard. Then again, I don't want to jeopardize my savings by going beyond 1.8m.

I just need something fancy with easy to get parts, and reasonable fuel consumption

Please help! I urgently need a job in Administrative or Academic field. I live in Lagos,
I have a degree in development related course, with over two years experience in administrative and academic fields.
reach me via mail. Christyhills06@gmail.com
Thanks all!

That is for commercial applications. They can provide a 10kw home charger for 10 hr to 80% charge. Problem is without PHCN a 20 kva gen will consume more than 50 litres of diesel for that 10 hour run. And only God knows how much that will cost if you put it on PHCN smart meters if power is available. You will probably burn 20,000 naira worth of cards....or more.

I would like to get one, but just for the novelty factor. It remains impractical and grossly uneconomic in Nigeria except you somehow get your electricity free, aka government folks.

i cant stop staring at it

Still prefer the Tesla.
The back side of this Jaguar appears to have an identity crisis. It's neither an SUV nor a Hatchback...maybe a crossover.

The Tesla model S interior is also more futuristic yet minimalist.
