The Driven Podcast: Test drive with the Jaguar I-Pace

Published by

Last week, The Driven was invited – along with a host of auto industry journalists – for a day-long test drive of the new Jaguar i-Pace, the venerable motor brand’s first venture into electric vehicles.

The price is no snip – is starts at $119,000 plus on-roads – but the mix of luxury fittings and the performance of twin motors driven by a 90kWh battery, is something to behold. We share our thoughts and interview Jaguar’s head of product development James Kealy.
