Free Car Mag has boots on the ground at the Geneva Motor Show. Despite a two hour flight delay our intrepid snapper and reporter Andrew Elphick was there to witness the unexpected win for the Jaguar I-Pace.

“They didn’t have a clue they’d win AT ALL. Frowns all round when I asked if it would be on the Tata stand…”

According to Andrew, the winning car won’t be on the stand of the company that owns Jaguar. How strange.

The I-PACE has a state-of-the-art 90kWh Lithium-ion battery and offers sports car performance of 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds alongside the practicality of a 298 mile range (WLTP cycle) and 0-80 per cent charging time of 40 minutes (100kW DC). Allied with its concept car looks and next-generation artificial intelligence, it is set to be the perfect everyday EV consumers have been waiting for.

Designed and engineered in the UK, the I-PACE is built at Plant Graz, Austria, as part of Jaguar Land Rover’s manufacturing partnership with Magna Steyr. It joins Jaguar’s growing family of SUVs, alongside the all-new E-PACE and multiple award-winning F-PACE.
