Johannesburg - If you’ve been budgeting for a new Jaguar I-Pace, you can now prepare your finances with more precision. Jaguar South Africa has confirmed three trim grades, a variety of specification levels, and a 'First Edition' that will be available for one year from launch.
I-Pace S R1 687 200I-Pace SE R1 745 400I-Pace HSE R1 820 900I-Pace First Edition R1 920 700
All variants come with identical powertrains comprising a 90kWh battery positioned in the floor for a low centre of gravity, and two axle-mounted synchronous electric motors paired with concentric single speed transmissions.
Its 294kW/696Nm peak outputs are enough to launch the all-wheel drive SUV from 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds, and a single full charge provides a range of up to 470km on the WLTP cycle – which Jag says is more than enough to cover the average weekly commute of 300km.
Here's what you can expect in terms of appointments across the I-PACE range:
I-Pace S:
20" 6 spoke alloy wheels, LED headlights, 'Luxtec' sport seats (8-way semi-powered upfront), Touch Pro Duo 31cm Interactive Driver Display with satnav, Meridian Sound System, Connect Pro Pack, Smartphone Pack, reverse camera, cruise control and Park Pack with 360° Parking Aid, Rear Traffic Monitor and Clear Exit Monitor.
