The Jaguar I-Pace concept has a blend of economy, practicality and performance

Jaguar had been talking about its plans to introduce an electric vehicle and now the automaker has revealed the I-Pace concept at the LA Motor Show. The I-Pace packs in a lot more than the recently launched F-Pace and it is likely that this electric car will go into production in 2018.

The Jaguar I-Pace uses a new architecture that is designed in-house and it is made up of aluminium. The architecture is production ready and it even uses the housing for the battery pack as a part of its structure. The vehicle comes with a pair of synchronous permanent magnet electric motors.

There is one motor on each axle and they are mated to a single-speed epicyclic transmission. Each motor produces approximately 200 HP of power, thus taking the total power output to almost 400 HP. The motors are powered by a 90 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The claimed range on a full battery is 500 kms while 0-100 km/hr comes up in 4 seconds.

The Jaguar I-Pace has been designed in a very aerodynamic way and an almost 50:50 weight distribution has been maintained. Jaguar has even tried to free up a lot of space on the inside and hence the interiors boast of good space and practicality. When the I-Pace gets launched, it will compete with other premium EVs like the Tesla Model X and other upcoming electric cars from German automakers.
