What's the used Jaguar I-PACE like?
The Jaguar I-Pace isn't your typical used Jaguar, because that would be either a saloon or sports car with a stonking engine under the bonnet. The I-Pace doesn't have an engine under its bonnet. In fact, it doesn't have an engine at all.
It was the firm's first production electric car, and, because it looks a million dollars, it created quite a stir when it was launched. Sales were good, and by the time it went off sale in late 2024, it left plenty of used examples on the forecourts to choose from.
Overview
The Jaguar I-Pace is a very luxurious electric SUV that now looks like good value when bought used. Its poor reliability record hasn't done it any favours, though.
Pros
- Good range
- Entertaining handling
- Futuristic looks
Cons
- Reliability very concerning
- Poor rear visibility
- Road noise

Power: Beneath this electric SUV's floor, the I-Pace has a huge battery pack that provides power to all four wheels via two electric motors: one at the front and one at the back, with a total output of 395bhp. That 90kWh battery gives the car great performance and an official range of 292 miles. In our real-world test, it achieved an impressive 258 miles.
This was an exceptional figure a few years ago, but rivals are increasingly overtaking it as the years go on – the I-Pace hasn't improved its range since 2018. For example, the Skoda Enyaq 80 and (especially) the Tesla Model 3 Long Range can go further on a single charge.

Trims & equipment: Trim-wise, you get a choice of three. Even the entry-level S spec features lots of luxuries, including LED headlights, a 12.3in infotainment system with DAB radio and a rear view camera, plus automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance and traffic sign recognition.
If you upgrade to SE, Jaguar gives you bigger 20in wheels, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and an electric tailgate. Range-topping HSE cars have heated and cooled front seats plus heated rear seats, along with matrix LED headlights that can automatically adjust their light pattern to avoid dazzling other drivers, while retaining full-beam illumination.
Ride & handling: On the road, the I-Pace can, despite its svelte looks, feel a little heavy, which is no surprise considering it is nearly 2.2 tonnes. However, don’t think this translates into leisurely performance, far from it. Put your foot down and it goes like an express train, instantly, and with a 0 to 62mph time of under five seconds it’s incredibly quick.

It’s quiet, too, with only a little road noise creeping in at higher speeds. It also rides well most of the time, although sharp road irregularities can catch the car out, especially if your I-Pace has the bigger 20in wheels. Stick with an S model with 18in wheels, or try and find an I-Pace with the optional air suspension setup for the best ride.
The battery pack is located low down, and with a correspondingly low centre of gravity and even weight distribution it handles rather well. The steering initially feels overly heavy, but on the move this heft becomes welcome. All in, the I-Pace has enough dynamic ability to satisfy a keen driver, even if it falls short of an electric car revolution.
Interior & practicality: Inside, it’s even more impressive. Its driving position is relatively low for an SUV, and the steering wheel and seat have plenty of electric adjustment. The seats look great, too, and offer plenty of support. Forward visibility is excellent, but the shallow rear window restricts vision behind you. Luckily, a rear-view camera is standard on all versions.

All I-Paces forgo traditional analogue instrument dials in favour of a slick digital display that lets the driver decide exactly what information they want to be displayed directly in front of them, and in what configuration. You also get a partly touch-sensitive panel lower down on the centre console, which replaces standard buttons and is used to control secondary systems, including those for the climate control.
The infotainment touchscreen provides modern graphics, but some of the commands can take a fraction longer than you’d like to flick through and it’s not always the most intuitive of systems to use. However, the interior still has an air of quality to it with plenty of plush materials in all the right places. It all feels reassuringly solid, too.
Space is plentiful, with room for two lanky individuals to sit behind someone equally tall. The middle seat is a little hard, though, so the third rear passenger might not want to travel far. Boot space is reasonable, too, and there’s a much smaller additional boot at the front of the car, where of course you might expect to find a conventional engine.

Facelift: During 2023, the I-Pace received a minor facelift. The most obvious change is the front "grille". What used to be a textured panel (reminiscent of combustion-powered Jaguars) is now a smooth service finished in grey paint. A revised Jaguar logo also sits in its centre, while there are some other subtle styling tweaks dotted around the general exterior, too.
Inside, it's mostly the same as it was before, but the interior does feature an updated infotainment system.

Tips & Advice
Make sure you’re insured for the test drive
Short-term car insurance – also called test-drive insurance – will ensure you’re legal when you’re shopping for your next car
Ownership cost
What used Jaguar I-PACE will I get for my budget?
The I-Pace was an expensive car new, but there are plenty of reasonably priced used examples around.
Prices start as low as £8000 for one with a high-ish mileage, and £9000 to £12,000 for early cars with a moderate mileage. However, we'd spend £11,000 to £15,000 to find a good one with a reasonable mileage. You'll only need around £12,000 to pick up a 2020 S model with around 40,000 miles on its clock. If you'd like a non-facelift 2023 example, have at least £18,000 to spend. If you'd like the facelifted car, up that budget to around £20,000.

How much does cost to run a Jaguar I-PACE?
There are no fuel costs, of course, but a full charge will cost around £10 on an Economy 7 night rate, although as with all electric cars how much you pay for your charge depends on where you’re charging it. From the latest 150kW public chargers, it can obtain an 80% charge in 46 minutes, although this rises to 85 minutes from the more common 50kW chargers.
In our real range tests the costs for charging and running an I-Pace ran roughly as follows
Miles per kWh: 2.6
Full charge cost: £11.87
Cost per mile in electricity: £0.047
Road tax
Electric cars are now subject to annual road tax. This is currently £195 a year. To find out more about the current road tax costs, click on the link.
Insurance and servicing
Insurance costs will be on the high side, but that's expected given the performance of the vehicle. The Jaguar I-Pace comes from new with a three-year/unlimited mileage warranty and the battery is covered for eight years from new, with a 100,000-mile limit.

Servicing is required every two years or 21,000 miles and generally costs around £200. However, the service required every six and 10 years is much more involved and costs considerably more since coolant, brake fluid, gearbox oil and several hoses need to be renewed.
Reliability
The Jaguar I-Pace’s reliability has been a mixed bag, according to our latest What Car? Reliability Survey.
While some owners had trouble-free experiences, many reported software and electrical faults. Charging system failures, battery management issues, and random warning lights were common, sometimes leaving the car undriveable.
Infotainment glitches, faulty door handles, and air suspension problems also cropped up. Dealer service was inconsistent—some owners praised their experience, while others faced long waits for repairs and unhelpful support.
While the I-Pace delivers an exciting electric drive, reliability concerns remain.

Our recommendations
Which used Jaguar I-PACE should I buy?
There's only one 'engine' option, and even the most basic (if you can call it that) I-Pace is handsomely equipped, this being the popular S version. We’d seek that one out for the value it offers.

Which smartphone integration should I have?
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fantastic – and free – technologies. Here we show you the benefits, drawbacks and best apps
Alternatives
What alternatives should I consider to a used Jaguar I-PACE?
The Audi e-tron is another large electric SUV. It’s incredibly refined at all speeds, beautifully built and very well equipped. Countered against that its range isn’t as good as the Jaguar and the following Tesla.
The Tesla Model 3 is available for similar money to the I-Pace. It's not as SUV, being more of an executive-car style, but the Model 3 rivals it for all-electric performance and range. Reliability isn't as damning, either.
