Visually, the Jaguar I-Pace remains as charismatic as Jaguar cars tend to be with the sloping bonnet, sharp LED headlamps, and the massive grille upfront. It does get a sloping roofline for a more crossover-like profile, which gives it a distinctive look. Inside, the I-Pace comes with a well-appointed cabin that includes electric adjustable Luxtec sport seats, 380 watt Merdian Sound System, Interactive Driver Display, 3D Surround Camera, Driver Condition Monitor, animated Directional Indicators, Head-Up Display (HUD), Adaptive Cruise Control, and more. Prices are expected to start from around ₹ 1 crore for the new Jaguar I-Pace and the model will compete against the Mercedes-Benz EQC in the segment.
