The 2022 I-Pace is a few years old now, but it's still an impressive machine that exudes style, performance and elegance unlike anything else in its segment. This all-wheel-drive electric SUV delivers impressive dynamic capabilities too, and while it isn't the most efficient EV in the class, it proved it can exceed its official EPA range estimates in our real-world testing. Jaguar is only offering the I-Pace in top trim HSE for 2022, but it has dropped the price to make it fairly competitive against other midsize electric SUVs.
The Jaguar I-Pace is the British automaker's first fully electric vehicle. Introduced in 2019, this low-slung SUV quietly challenged Tesla with its sporty driving dynamics, luxurious interior appointments and usable battery range. The EV space has changed quite a bit since then, but the I-Pace still has plenty to offer premium-EV shoppers looking for a Tesla alternative.

The first thing that stands out about the I-Pace is its sleek design and its closeness to the ground, which might make you question whether it's an SUV at all. However you want to classify it, those attributes, combined with dual-motor all-wheel drive and a battery pack mounted low in the chassis, make it one of the sharpest-handling EVs on the market.
Inside, you'll find an attractive, tech-rich cabin that's thoughtfully laid out with intuitive controls. Drivers are greeted by a digital instrument cluster and wide central touchscreen running Jaguar's latest Pivi Pro infotainment system. The interior design is much more conventional than the minimalist setup in a Tesla Model Y and more modern than the Model X's cockpit. Besides the SUVs from Tesla, the I-Pace now has to contend with the Audi e-tron and soon others including the BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQC and Audi Q4 e-tron.

Edmunds Expert Rating

by the Edmunds Experts
Good
7.8
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Jaguar I-PACE on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the I-PACE drive? Though this Jag is now a veteran in the luxury EV segment, it's quite quick by most measures. You can get to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds without breaking a sweat or making much noise. It steers and handles with enthusiasm while maintaining good poise and control. If there's a reason to get the I-Pace over any of its newer competition, it's for the fun and engagement you can have at the wheel.
We complained about the abruptness of the brakes when the I-Pace was introduced, but those issues appear to have been resolved. That doesn't mean the brakes are flawless now — it took us about 7 more feet to stop from 60 mph than the last one we tested, and the I-Pace's regenerative braking still won't bring you to a complete stop. That latter detail may seem trivial but makes a big difference in the day-to-day driving experience.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the I-PACE? The I-Pace, like most of the luxury EVs in this class, offers a good degree of everyday comfort. The seats may not adjust in all the ways we'd dream of, but we found them supportive and satisfying even on an all-day drive. The I-Pace's adaptive air suspension has a slightly firm and sporty feel to it but manages to take enough of the edge off most bigger bumps in the roads that we don't have any real complaints. And though the I-Pace's cabin was quantifiably not as quiet as others according to our sound meter, we found it to be audibly peaceful.
The only real letdown is the climate control system, which is simultaneously weak and cumbersome to adjust. The dials that control the temperature zones serve triple duty, also controlling seat temperature and fan speed. Even after a couple weeks of use, we found it difficult to make fumble-free adjustments. The front seats have both heat and ventilation functions, neither of which impressed our discerning derrieres.
Interior
7.5/10
How’s the interior? The I-Pace is on the smaller side for the segment, making it inherently less roomy than the rest. It still manages to provide a decent amount of space in both rows for average-size adults and we consider it family-friendly. Its sleeker raked profile means a little less head clearance when you're getting in. But there's plenty of headroom once you're inside thanks to the spacing-saving glass roof that's now ubiquitous in this class. The air suspension is also adjustable, allowing for varying levels of step-in height.
We're fairly confident most people will be able to find a comfortable driving position, though the I-Pace doesn't offer quite the range of seat adjustments its contemporaries do. The interior controls are a mixed bag — some are pretty straightforward to operate and others, like the climate controls, less so. Jaguar seems to prioritize form over function here, so at least things look pretty. Outward visibility is also a mixed bag. Forward and side visibility is amazing thanks to the way the front pillars and sideview mirrors are positioned. Then you look back through that short rear window with thick rear pillars and feel a bit more thankful that it offers an optional surround-view camera system.
Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? Early production I-Paces suffered from laggy touchscreens, but that's no longer a problem. We found the current system relatively responsive and stable. We did have intermittent issues with Apple CarPlay smartphone projection failing to activate, but that's not something exclusive to Jaguar. The Jaguar's Meridian audio system is standard since only the top-of-the-line HSE trim exists now, but it's a good system that produces rich sound.
The I-Pace also comes with a fairly comprehensive suite of advanced driver aids. Advancements in these systems have set new performance standards, and the I-Pace's by comparison are mostly average. We thought the rear cross-traffic alert worked pretty well, but the adaptive cruise was a bit hit-and-miss. Sometimes the system was a little late to react, and the lane keeping assist was prone to following the wrong lines or following cars ahead that were switching lanes.
Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The I-Pace delivers a good dose of everyday utility even if it's a bit smaller than the average midsize electric SUV. The back seat is compatible with most any child safety seat, with easy-to-access seat anchors, and the cabin has an adequate amount of storage for loose odds and ends. The 23.3 cubic feet of cargo area is easy to load but on the narrow side. The compartment is uncommonly deep, though, and the 40/20/40-split rear seats fold nice and flat, opening up a good deal of space. The I-Pace does have a front trunk, but at less than a cubic foot of volume, it's mainly a good storage spot for the portable charger.
Range and Efficiency
7.5/10
How are the range and efficiency? The I-Pace HSE has an EPA-estimated range of 222 miles and is estimated to consume 45 kWh per 100 miles, which is among one of the least efficient EVs currently on sale. For some context, the Tesla Model X Long Range is rated at a much more efficient 33 kWh/100 miles (smaller numbers are better), and the BMW iX on 22-inch wheels (!) even fares better than the Jaguar at 39 kWh/100 miles.
Fortunately the I-Pace proved to be a bit less power-hungry in the real world. On Edmunds' real-world EV range loop, we drove 262 miles on a single charge, consuming much less energy at 36.3 kWh/100 miles. That's much closer to the competition.
The I-Pace comes with an 11-kW onboard charger (an upgrade from its previous 7-kW charger) that Jaguar estimates can add as much as 33 miles per hour at the highest level. It also has DC fast-charging capability up to 100 kW, which is slower than most of its competition can charge.
Value
7.5/10
Is the I-PACE a good value? The I-Pace is only available in HSE trim, which was previously the top trim. But prices have dropped significantly, making the I-Pace one of the more affordable midsize EV SUVs. It looks and mostly feels worth the price as long as range and interior space aren't a determinant in how you perceive value.
Jaguar's warranty has also been better than average, and that holds true for the I-Pace. Its five years/60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper, powertrain coverage and roadside assistance and eight years/100,000 miles of battery coverage is decent. And although you won't need much in the way of maintenance other than keeping an eye on tires and wiper blades, Jaguar also provides free maintenance for the term of the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Wildcard
8.5/10
The I-Pace surprised us when we first drove it, and it still holds its own against today's competition, at least in terms of being fun to drive. Its shape is unique and isn't 100% SUV. Whatever you call it, it catches a few eyes because it's fun and interesting to look at. We kind of dig it, but we're also ready to see what Jaguar is up to next.
2022 Jaguar I-PACE trim level differences
The Jaguar I-Pace SUV is available in just one trim level: the HSE. All I-Pace models are powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, making a combined 394 horsepower and 512 lb-ft of torque. The I-Pace's 90-kWh battery pack is good for an EPA-estimated 234 miles of range, and in our testing, we found it could go 262 miles on Edmunds' standardized EV range test route. Compare the 2022 Jaguar I-PACE trim levels in-depth.
Which I-PACE trim does Edmunds recommend?
For 2022, Jaguar has eliminated all trim levels except for the range-topping HSE model. The good news is you get it for about the same price as last year's base model. We recommend adding the Park Assist package for the surround-view camera and parking sensors, but otherwise your I-Pace comes fully loaded.
According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.
Estimated battery warranty remaining is 4 years or 44,000 miles for this car.

The I-Pace is neither the least expensive nor longest range BEV SUV, but it is a marvellous sporting drive, a great touring car, and has a high quality cabin wrapped in the best looking body design in its class. The infotainment system is modern and effective, if sometimes slow to react on pre 2021 models. It is internet connected at all times, and is capable of over the air software … up-dates. Early production issues such as a spongy brake pedal and software glitches have been fixed under warranty. Having driven over 81,000 km (50,000 miles) there has been only one serious service issue, being a defective 12 volt battery which was replaced under warranty. There has been no main battery range degradation since new. In the summer, 400 km (240 miles) range is feasible if driven carefully. More realistically summer range is about 350 km (200 miles) and 250 km (150 miles) in extreme cold (-25 degrees Celsius or 13 degrees Fahrenheit). Home charging overnight looks after 90% of my "refuelling" for a nominal cost. Commercial charging has proven to be reasonably quick and available for a trip across Canada with ease. Commercial charging costs are about the same as premium gasoline for a mid sized SUV in Canada.
I am so pleased with the I-Pace that I've ordered a 2021 model featuring numerous software up-grades, my 13th new Jaguar since 1992. One thing is for sure - I will never go back to a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle.
Edmunds is dead wrong in its incorrect review regarding the regenerative braking system. In "HIGH REGEN MODE" it gives me, instant powerful braking with smooth, NON JERKY, ONE PEDAL driving. Plain and simple! Edmunds needs to correct this inaccurate aspect of its review of the 2019 I Pace EV400/ AWD vehicle.
My I PACE performs perfectly and driving in ECO mode I'm averaging 224 … -239-mile driving range.
In updating my review of my 2019 I PACE (see above), the most important event was Jaguar increased the driving range from 237miles to 267 miles of driving range, with another increase in range to approximately 297 miles of driving range coming in the future This puts the I PACE at comparative ranges of the Tesla.
The car has given NO us problems and is a dream ride!
It's important to once again point out that Edmunds first (and continues to write incorrectly) that the braking was "grabby and jerky" using the recumbent braking system. The test driver had the car dialed in to the WRONG setting {LOW} instead of the HIGH setting. When correctly set in the HIGH recumbent mode the car is faultless at "One Pedal Driving". I'll probably get 100K miles before needing brakes.
Still LOVE MY I PACE!
The styling is unique and a mix of 'muscle' and elegance. People are constantly looking at the car and asking about it.
It beats Tesla in many ways: easy to adjust settings without having to adjust Tesla's ONE SCREEN digital touch screen which is dangerous while trying to make adjustments while staring at the screen and driving (I owned one); the interior trims: leather Reco racing seats; the glass roof doesn't overheat the cab like Tesla and the handling is tighter than the Tesla on curves, etc.
When the lease is up I'm going to buy out the residual and keep the car.
This vehicle is simply amazing. First, it’s stunning and sleek - lots of compliments. Second, the interior is best in class combining the right mix of hi tech gauges with Jaguar modern elegance and beautiful design with high quality metals, leather, stitching and wood. Lots of attention to detail and jewelry inside. Third, it accelerates faster, corners sharper, rides and absorbs road … wrinkles like magic and is more fun than any vehicle I’ve ever owned - including about every Porsche model. Fourth, the upgraded Meridien sound system is magnificent. Fifth, the warranty is best in class. Sixth, the software upgrade did increase range. Sixth, the brake issue mentioned isn’t an issue at all so confused as to the call-out. Buy the HSE with all the options...wish I had heads-up display. Only quibbles are laggy software, lack of electric steering wheel and slow charging options. I gave it 5 stars with the highest recommendation. Smile every time I get to drive it. Subaru coined ‘Love’ for its brand...the i-Pace evokes just the same and more.
After rough start my I-Pace is great
4 out of 5 stars

2019 Jaguar I-PACE SE 4dr Hatchback AWD (electric DD)
The I-Pace is gorgeous, fast, comfortable and efficient. After surviving the first few months of software and hardware problems the car has been nearly flawless. Jaguar released numerous software fixes and other than a few infotainment niggles the car is fine. It's fun to drive and looks amazing.
Cold temperatures reduced range from 230 to 180 miles but wasn't an issue for me because … most of my driving is in the city.
Performance is awesome and after 10 months of ownership I am still looking for excuses to drive my I-Pace.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Jaguar I-PACE, so we've included reviews for other years of the I-PACE since its last redesign.
