    Jaguar I-PACE Is Official, Coming To South Africa Next Year

    Many people are not sure where they sit on the whole electric-motoring zero-emission thing but this is a historical moment for Jaguar as the I-PACE is their first ever all-electric car.

    The car sits on a bespoke aluminium architecture which is claimed as Jaguar’s most rigid. There’s an electric motor on each axle providing four-wheel drive and a maximum output of 394 hp (294 kW) and 696 Nm of torque – considerably more than is afforded the most powerful F-Pace. Scroll down to watch it take on the Tesla Model X.

    This translates into a 0 to 100 km/h time of 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h. So what is the range like in this new creation? The good news here is that, according to Jaguar, the I-PACE’s 90kWh lithium-ion battery, stashed between the axles in 432 ‘pouch’ cells, is capable of delivering up to 480 km of usable range – and will charge by 80 per cent after 45 minutes*.

    Its sleek, coupe-like silhouette is influenced by the Jaguar C-X75 supercar concept, with a short, low bonnet, aero-enhanced roof design and curved rear screen. To optimise the balance between cooling and aerodynamics, Active Vanes in the grille open when cooling is required, but close when not needed to redirect air through the integral bonnet scoop, smoothing airflow.

    Inside the I-PACE features the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system like the one in the Range Rover Velar and you also get ‘Smart Settings’ technology which is driven by AI algorithms to identify individual driver preferences, and then tailors the I-PACE’s driving and interior settings accordingly.

    Just like Tesla, the I-PACE will do wireless over-the-air updates to ensure that the customers always have the latest software available and keeping on the topic of customers, you will have peace of mind knowing about your eight-year battery warranty** and 34 000km / two-year service intervals.

    We can expect to see the new all-electric five-seat SUV to arrive in South Africa from 2019.

    *Based on 100kW DC fast-charger
    **8-year battery warranty limited to 160,000km and 70% state of health

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
