Jaguar to unveil all-electric I-Pace SUV on March 1

Jaguar has announced that it will be live-streaming the premiere of the I-Pace electric SUV on March 1, 2018 at 11.30 pm (IST). The company will be announcing the pricing as well as opening bookings for the car on the same date as well. The vehicle is scheduled to be showcased at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show on March 6.

The I-Pace will be positioned between the F-Pace and the smaller E-Pace in the company's SUV line-up. The company had showcased the I-Pace Concept in 2016. It had two electric motors powered by a 90 kWh battery with a combined output of 395 BHP and 700 Nm of torque.

Jaguar claims that 80% of the I-Pace's battery can be recharged in 45 minutes using a 100 kW DC fast charger, while the usual 50 kW DC charging point will replenish the batteries in 2 hours.

The car is likely to be equipped with 12-inch and 5.5-inch touchscreens in the centre console for the infotainment and climate control systems respectively.

The I-Pace is expected to compete with the Tesla model X. The broadcast of the unveiling can be viewed at this link.
