If you have had your eyes set on the upcoming Jaguar I-Pace, you’ll have to wait a tad bit longer as the launch has been postponed from March 9 to March 23. Set to become India’s second luxury EV after the Mercedes-Benz EQC, the Jaguar I-Pace will be brought as a full-import and is likely to be priced around Rs 1 crore. It will be offered in three variants: S, SE, and HSE.

The all-electric SUV will be sold at 22 outlets across 19 cities. Jaguar has also installed over 35 chargers across these 22 outlets. Pre-launch bookings had already begun in November 2020. The I-Pace will usher in a new era for JLR in India, as it will be the brand’s first electric offering. Thanks to its tie-up with Tata Power, charging the I-Pace should be a breeze. After all, Tata’s extensive charging network comprises over 200 stations across 23 cities. Tata Power will also be responsible for providing the 7.4kW wallbox charger.

The I-Pace will be propelled by twin electric motors developing 400PS of power and 696Nm of torque. While it is not as powerful as the EQC, the I-Pace benefits from a larger battery pack, and therefore, has better range of the two. Here are the detailed specifications:

	Mercedes-Benz EQC	Jaguar I-Pace
Power (PS)	408PS	400PS
Torque (Nm)	760Nm	696Nm
Battery Pack	80kWh	90kWh
**WLTP-Claimed Range	Around 400km	470km
Fast Charging Speed (0-80 percent)	40 minutes*	45 minutes

*10-80 percent **Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure

Jaguar will offer the I-Pace with a choice of 12 exterior colours. Here are the details:

	Solid Finish	Metallic Finish	Premium Metallic Finish
Jaguar i-PACE	Fuji White Caldera Red	Santorini Black Yulong White Indus Silver Firenze Red Caesium Blue Borasco Grey Eiger Grey Portofino Blue	Farallon Pearl Black Aruba

The British carmaker will launch the recently updated MY2021 I-Pace, which gets an improved infotainment system and some cosmetic enhancements. It will rival the Mercedes-Benz EQC and the upcoming Audi e-tron.
