Jaguar I-Pace: What's the i5 should have been.

You can be an electric car and still be beautiful: the new Jaguar I-Pace shows it. BMW should revise the look of their i5 (based on the leaked patent designs) in order to compete.

It could be its still to early to tell what the I5 will be, again this is BMW 2nd gen I car and I think they will have plenty of time to play with Telsa and the new battery options.

I think BMW has a good thing going especially with the light weight of I-cars vs the competition. I doubt the I5 will be a failure as they have had time to refine it, just as the next gen I8 should be bonkers.

Jaguar’s Tesla Model X-Rivalling I-PACE Electric Crossover Concept Wears Red For Geneva

Quote:
The Jaguar I-PACE Concept is set to make its European debut on March 7th at the Geneva Motor Show, showcasing a new color called Photon Red.

Unveiled last year during the LA Auto Show, the I-PACE Concept is meant to represent a new era for Jaguar, teasing the brand's first-ever electric model, expected to arrive sometime next year. It's a sports crossover that places it against the Tesla Model X.

"The I-PACE Concept is a radical departure for electric vehicles. It represents the next generation of battery electric vehicle design. It's a dramatic, future-facing design - the product of authentic Jaguar DNA matched with beautiful, premium details and British craftsmanship," said design boss Ian Callum.

"This isn't just a concept. It is a preview of a five-seat production car that will be on the road in 2018. This will be Jaguar's first-ever battery-powered electric vehicle and opens a new chapter in the history of our legendary brand."

In terms of performance, the British automaker said that the I-PACE needs just 4 seconds in order to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) from a stand still. The concept is powered by two electric motors, one for each axle, combining for 400 HP and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque - resulting in a targeted 500 km (310 mile) driving range.

Unlike the LA Auto Show car, the Geneva-bound I-PACE Concept will be wearing Photon Red, a brand new color that looks particularly difficult to miss.
