Jaguar's pioneering Electric SUV gets a mild facelift

Firstly, as far as the exterior design not much has changed from the 2018 model. The new models have a few new paint choices like 'Portofino blue'. You now get a chrome style finish to the grill with the optional chrome finishes on the window surrounds, rear diffusers and door mirrors in the 'bright pack'. You may be asking why is there so much focus on the grill if it's an EV. Well this grill does in fact serve a purpose reducing aerodynamics and cooling the battery.

At the rear of the car there is no windscreen wiper, Jaguar claims the aerodynamics of the car make is so there is no need for one. Apparently the airflow is powerful enough to clean it, of course the effeiency is depnding on how fast the car is going. There is also a hydrophobic coating on the glass to help aid the process.  

Now on to the interior, the inside of the Jaquar i-Pace now comes with extra equipment. The 360 3D camera now comes as standard with the option of a clear sight rear veiw mirror as seen in the Range Rover revoke. The biggest change to the interior of this electric SUV is the update to the infotainment system. Now featuring Jaguars PV pro system that was previously only available in the Land Rover defender. The infotainment has the same physical layout as before with a 10 inch screen and 5 inch screen below. However with the entry level model the additional 5 inch screen is only available as an optional upgrade. Those who choose not to upgrade will instead have touch sensitive button layout instead.

Both front seats come with heating as standard, with physical dial for controlling the temperature climate features. Like the previous model you still get the 12.3 Digital driver display which is clean, bright and easy to see. The inside of the vehicle feels sporty but also practical with wireless charging trays and utility space.

The backseats do not fall short in terms of space and practicality with plenty of leg/headroom. Trays  under the rear seats make for good additional storage, the middle seat folds down for easy boot access. As for the boot it has 656-litre boot space with the rear seats up, and 1,435 litres folded.
