Jaguar I-Pace Crossover Cars
The Jaguar I-Pace is a groundbreaking electric crossover that combines luxury, performance, and sustainability, making it an attractive choice for New Zealand drivers seeking an eco-friendly yet stylish vehicle. As one of the first fully electric SUVs from a traditional luxury brand, the I-Pace delivers impressive electric driving capabilities suited to the diverse terrain and conditions found across New Zealand.
Powered by dual electric motors producing a combined output of approximately 294 kW, the I-Pace offers all-wheel drive and instant torque, ensuring brisk acceleration and confident handling on both urban roads and winding country highways. This makes it well-suited to navigate the hilly landscapes common in regions such as Wellington and Rotorua. The car's low centre of gravity enhances stability on wet or uneven surfaces often encountered throughout New Zealand’s varied climate.
With a battery capacity of around 90 kWh, the I-Pace provides a realistic range that can comfortably cover daily commutes and weekend excursions. Real-world range may vary between 350 to 400 kilometres depending on driving style, speed, and terrain—adequate for typical trips within cities like Auckland or longer drives to more remote areas like Queenstown. Public charging infrastructure continues to expand nationwide with numerous rapid chargers available along major routes and at popular destinations, facilitating convenient recharging.
The interior prioritises modern comfort with premium materials and spacious seating for five adults. A range of advanced tech features supports both convenience and safety in line with local driving requirements—including adaptive cruise control suitable for motorway driving between regions such as Hamilton to Tauranga.
With its combination of zero emissions driving, robust performance tailored to New Zealand’s roads, and Jaguar’s hallmark refinement, the I-Pace is well-positioned as an innovative option in the evolving EV market down under.
