India Is Set To Get Its Second Luxury Electric Vehicle Soon

• Jaguar I-Pace to be launched in India on March 9.
• Prices likely to start from around Rs 1 crore.
• Jaguar has tied up with Tata Power for charging solutions.
• Powered by twin electric motors that develop 400PS and 696Nm.
• Has a WLTP-claimed range of 470km.

The Jaguar I-Pace is set to be launched in India on March 9. Pre-launch bookings are already underway; you can reserve yours at the nearest Jaguar dealership. It’ll be offered in three variants (S, SE, and HSE) and 12 exterior hues.  

The Jaguar I-Pace is going to be India’s second luxury electric vehicle after the Mercedes-Benz EQC. However, unlike the Mercedes, the I-Pace has one big advantage, that is a robust charging system, thanks to Jaguar’s tie-up with Tata Power. One can charge the I-Pace at Tata Power’s 200-plus points across 23 cities. It’ll also provide the 7.4kW wall box charger for charging the I-Pace at your home.  

However, the Jaguar EV lags behind the EQC is in the powertrain department. It develops 400PS of power and 696Nm of torque, which is 8PS and 64Nm less than that of the Merc. However, it has a larger battery pack, and therefore, the increased WLTP-claimed (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) range. Here is the detailed specification of both the models:

Prices of the Jaguar I-Pace are likely to start from Rs 1 crore. Apart from the Mercedes-Benz EQC, the I-Pace will also face competition from the all-electric Audi e-tron set to be launched later this year. For more details on the India-spec I-Pace, click here.
