The 2026 Jaguar I-Pace is a luxury compact electric crossover SUV built on a dedicated EV platform with a five-door body style. It features all-wheel drive from dual permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors paired with a 90-kWh lithium-ion battery that produces 394 horsepower and 512 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph time of approximately 4.5 seconds. Positioned in the premium electric SUV segment, it aligns with competitors like the Tesla Model Y, Audi Q8 e-tron, and BMW iX. The 2026 edition carries forward the existing design and features without significant updates, coinciding with Jaguar's introduction of a new all-electric portfolio.
The I-Pace incorporates Jaguar's Pivi Pro infotainment system, consisting of a 10-inch upper HD touchscreen for navigation, media streaming, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support, alongside a 5-inch lower touchscreen for climate controls, drive modes, and vehicle information. A Meridian sound system with up to 15 speakers and integrated Amazon Alexa provide audio and voice control capabilities. The InControl Remote app facilitates remote battery and cabin preconditioning, charge scheduling, theft notifications, and over-the-air software updates for infotainment and powertrain functions.
