继2016年洛杉矶车展捷豹发布I-Pace概念车之后，车厂将在日内瓦车展发布其量产版。2019款I-Pace搭载90千瓦时电池组驱动双电机，功率394马力，扭矩512磅-英尺（约合694牛米），车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间4.5秒。该车最大续航里程240英里（约合386公里），如果使用100千瓦快充，仅需40分钟就可以充满80%电量。如果使用230伏/32安培普通家用充电器，充满80%电量则需要10小时。该车电池组安装在地板下以便优化车辆重心，而该车的前后重量分配达到了50:50。该车采用捷豹独特的双叉臂前悬和增强型多连杆后悬组合。车载电池可提供8年10万英里质保。该车外观与概念版一样，仍采用短而低矮的引擎盖和经过空气动力学强化的车顶和富有曲线感的尾窗，这一切都是为了降低风阻。该车最终风阻系数为0.29。I-Pace长4682毫米，轴距2990毫米。至于内装，该车采用Luxtec和Grained真皮内饰，可选装Kvadrat织物内饰，后者采用更耐用的羊毛和可再生技术开发的麂皮织物。虽然该车造型风格类似轿跑车，但内部空间宽敞，后排腿部空间达到890毫米，第三排座椅后行李箱容积25.3立方英尺（约合716立升），如果将第二排座椅放平可提升至51立方英尺（约合1444立升）。捷豹I-Pace将作为2019款车型于今年下半年上市，该车将提供S、SE和HSE三种版本以及First Edition特别版，后者基于HSE版本，将提供多个专属配置。

 

Jaguar I-Pace Electrifies With 240-Mile Range, 394 HP

More than a year after its concept's global debut at the 2016 Los Angeles International Auto Show, Jaguar is unveiling its production I-Pace battery-electric SUV in Geneva.

 

The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace sports a 90kWh battery pack powering twin electric motors, delivering a total output of 293kw/394 horsepower and 512lb-ft ((694 Newton-meters)of torque. Jaguar claims this is enough to motivate the I-Pace from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds--not exactly slow.

 

I-Pace will boast a maximum range of 240 miles (better than promised) and Jaguar says the battery pack can be juiced up from empty to 80% of its maximum charge in 40 minutes on a 100kW fast charger. Home charging from a standard 230V/32A wall box, meanwhile, will take ten hours to see the same 80 percent charge.

 

I-Pace's battery pack is mounted low across the floor to optimize is center of gravity, as is typical of new EVs. Jaguar also took advantage of the EV packaging flexibility to optimize its overall weight distribution, claiming it is very close to 50:50. The double-wishbone front and integral-link rear suspension setups mirror what you'll see across Jaguar's new lineup. The battery is also backed by an eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty, for those who may be concerned that British cars and electricity should never mix.

 

Much to Jaguar's credit, the exterior is an almost dead-on realization of the I-Pace concept's body, even down to the details. the I-Pace utilizes a short, low hood, an aerodynamically enhanced roof, and the same curved rear window that we saw on the original concept, all in an effort to reduce drag. The final result is a drag coefficient of just 0.29Cd. The I-Pace stretches out to 184.3 inches (4,682 millimeters), with a wheelbase of 117.7 inches (2,990 millimeters).

 

That stylish exterior gives way to an equally alluring cabin. Premium materials like Luxtec and Grained leather are littered throughout, with option of a textile Kvadrat interior, which combines a durable wool blend with recycled technical suede cloth. But even with its coupe-like styling, the I-Pace still has plenty of space; rear legroom is 35 inches (890 millimeters), with rear luggage behind the third row listed at 25.3 cubic feet, and 51.0 cubic feet with the second row folded flat.

 

The new I-Pace will go on sale in the second half of 2018 as a 2019 model year vehicle. Three standard trims will be available at launch – S, SE, and HSE – as well as a one-year First Edition trim, which will be based on the already luxurious HSE model, and will come with a number of unique features you won’t be able to find elsewhere throughout the range.
