Jaguar introduces the new I-PACE Black

The Jaguar I-PACE has achieved global recognition and won multiple awards for its outstanding design and now Jaguar has created the Black special editions.

These exclusive new additions to the I-PACE range benefit from an enhanced specification over the SE and HSE models on which they are based and includes the Black Pack, panoramic roof and privacy glass.

The clean, contemporary look is accentuated by the gloss black finish of the 20-inch five-spoke wheels, and the I-PACE Black models are available in the full range of colours and include metallic paints as standard.

 

Julian Thomson, Jaguar design director, said, “The I-PACE’s dramatic, cab-forward profile, short overhangs and taut, muscular haunches give it a sense of drama which sets it apart from other SUVs. Creating the exclusive I-PACE Black gave us the opportunity to subtly enhance the design, making it look even more dynamic, distinctive and desirable.”

Like every model in the range, the I-PACE Black models offers a wealth of technology designed to make every journey simpler and more enjoyable. The Pivi Pro infotainment system is ready to go by the time you’re in the driving seat and is as intuitive to use as your smartphone. The EV navigation can show if nearby charging stations are available or in use, the type of connector they have, what they cost, and how long it will take to charge. On long drives, Pivi Pro can also show your predicted charge level at each waypoint.

The ClearSight digital rear-view mirror gives the driver an unobstructed view of the road behind, even with rear-seat passengers or a fully loaded luggage compartment. It uses a wide-angle, rear-facing camera linked to a screen behind the mirror: a switch allows the driver to choose between the standard view or the camera feed.

 

On long motorway journeys Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist enhances driver comfort by gently assisting steering, acceleration and braking to centre the vehicle in lane while maintaining a set distance from vehicles ahead.

With two Jaguar-designed electric motors at each axle, producing exceptional combined performance of 400PS and 696Nm, aluminium construction and a low centre of gravity, the I-PACE offers an unrivalled balance of all-wheel drive performance, refinement, luxury and agility – together with outstanding real-world range and day-to-day usability.

I-PACE’s 11kW on-board charger makes home charging faster and more convenient for customers with three-phase electricity supplies. When plugged in to an 11kW wall box, up to 33 miles of range per hour can be achieved. A full charge takes only 8.6 hours – ideal for overnight charging. Customers using single phase 7kW wall boxes can achieve up to 22 miles of charge per hour; a full charge takes 12.75 hours.

 

I-PACE’s Preferred Charging Period feature enables customers to set a desired start and finish time for charging – helping them to take advantage of the reduced rate electricity tariffs available in many markets. Soon, via a SOTA update, this feature will offer even greater flexibility by allowing them to set a specific state-of-charge they want the battery to reach – 80 per cent, for example.

When charging ‘on the go’, 100kW DC chargers can add up to 78 miles of range in just 15 minutes; 50kW chargers add up to 39 miles over the same period.

Jaguar has developed the Go I-PACE app to help people understand just how easily the I-PACE would fit into their lives and to highlight the benefits of going electric. By analysing the journeys they make in any vehicle, the app – available for iPhone or Android – shows would-be customers the potential cost savings, how much battery would have been used per trip and the number of full charges needed to cover the total distance driven.
