Developed on a new architecture, the Jaguar I-Pace Concept promises to not only fully exploit the potential EVs can offer in space utilisation, driving pleasure and performance. The all-electric Jaguar SUV's twin-electric motors and 90kWh lithium-ion battery pack were designed in-house by Jaguar Land Rover. The all-wheel-drive I-Pace gets electric motors on the front and rear axles that offer a combined output of 395bhp and 700Nm of torque - the same torque rating as the F-TYPE SVR.

While plugging the car into a wall socket overnight endows it with a range of around 50 km, a full charge of two hours, using a typical public 50 KW DC charging network, a is enough for the I-Pace to deliver more than 500 km range (measured on the European NEDC test cycle).

Callum further added, "The interior of the I-PACE Concept is finished with beautiful, premium materials and an unwavering attention to detail. Throughout the interior you will discover a host of beautiful details to surprise and delight. From the expansive panoramic glass roof to the sporting, beautifully finished seats, every feature bears the hallmark of British craftsmanship. And there is digital craftsmanship too, with two touch screens serving up information when and where you need it, limiting distraction and improving the driving experience."
