Recently, Jaguar launched a low-power version of the I-PACE called the EV320, with a maximum output of 235 kW and peak torque of 500 N·m, with four-wheel drive. For comparison, the previous EV400 series had a maximum output of 294 kW and peak torque of 696 N·m.
A simple calculation shows that the low-power version has reduced its maximum output by 59 kW and peak torque by 196 N·m. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration is 6.4 seconds, while the EV400 is 4.8 seconds.
As for the range, the EV320 still uses the same 90 kWh battery as the EV400, with a WLTP range of 470 km. The domestic model has a 81 kWh battery.
Currently, Jaguar has only provided the price of the I-PACE in the European market, which is 65,900 euros (about 537,700 RMB), a decrease of 15,865 euros (about 130,000 RMB) compared to the entry-level model.
Obviously, the arrival of the low-power version of the I-PACE is to lower the purchase threshold, but there is one problem, the battery and power have been reduced, but the range remains the same, which is quite interesting given Jaguar’s calibration.
