While the version we tested was unquestionably fun to drive, its uneven braking behavior when coming to a stop was a shortcoming. A hefty battery pack beneath the floor provides a low center of gravity that gives the electrified Jag an extra dose of agility and stability. The I-Pace has a comfortable ride courtesy of its standard air suspension as well as satisfying steering feedback. That energy provides quick and effortless acceleration to zip between city stoplights and pass slowpokes on the highway. The I-Pace boasts standard all-wheel drive thanks to two electric motors that produce a combined 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. The HSE comes standard with an array of active safety features, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, and it also sports a powerful premium audio system, a head-up display, leather upholstery, 16-way power front seats with heated and cooled cushions, a power-operated liftgate, and 20-inch wheels. However, it's now $11k cheaper than before, with a starting price that's almost identical to the previous base model. The 2022 I-Pace is now only offered in the previously top-of-the-line HSE trim. Now, it'll take you 8.6 hours to fully recharge a dead battery versus 12.6 hours before, according to Jaguar. The I-Pace also receives a 11.0-kW onboard charger that delivers quicker at-home charging than the old 7.0-kW version.

Plus, it gains a feature that tells you where the nearest charging stations are and how long it should take to restore the battery.

Inside, there's a new infotainment system that's said to be easier to operate than the one it replaces. The optional Bright package adds chrome exterior trim, Atlas Grey accents, and other minor styling changes. It now offers a complimentary 4G data plan, a 360-degree camera system, and wireless charging. What's New for 2022?Īfter skipping the 2021 model year, Jaguar gives the I-Pace a handful of improvements. Although it fell short of its claimed driving range in our real-world test and was slow to charge using a common outlet, the 2022 I-Pace proves that EVs can be electrifying in other ways. Inside, the Jag shows off with cutting-edge design, ample passenger space, and popular features. The I-Pace also handles more like a sports car than a five-seat crossover, with its controlled demeanor and tactile steering. This ute boasts an EPA-rated range of 253 miles plus fast-charging capability and instantaneous acceleration. Its luxury designation and price will limit its mainstream popularity, but there's no denying that the I-Pace's futuristic facade captures the imagination. The 2022 Jaguar I-Pace is a fascinating all-electric crossover that looks good and drives well.
