The Jaguar I-Pace Black has been revealed as a more dynamic package for the premium EV that was launched in SA three years ago. Adding to its dynamic presence are some gloss black trimmings and additional standard kit.
As standard, the Jaguar I-Pace Black features a number of extra features as standard such as a panoramic roof, privacy glass and a Black Pack that consists of a gloss black finish applied to the door mirror housings, grille, side window surrounds and rear badges.
Accentuating this image is a gloss black finish for the 20-inch five-spoke rims. Within the cabin, the Jaguar I-Pace Black houses a set of Ebony leather sports seats and headliner with gloss black trim finishers.
As for performance, the I-Pace Black retains its dual-electric motor system which delivers 294 kW and 696 N.m of torque which gives it a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4,8 seconds (our official test figures came in at 4,79 seconds). Power is sourced from a 90 kWh battery that can keep the EV going for 470 km before running out of juice.
Through 60 kW DC charging outlets, 100 km of this range can be provided in just 20 minutes. 80 per cent of charge can be fed in just over one hour. With a three-phase system, the car’s 11 kW on-board charger can resolve 53 km of range per hour with a full charge taking 8,6 hours. A full charge on a single-phase wall box charges at a rate of 35 km an hour which results in a full charge after 12,75 hours.
Although confirmed for SA, pricing for the Jaguar I-Pace Black has not yet been revealed but the South African distributer has confirmed that it will be available in the third quarter of 2021.
