Used Jaguar I-Pace 2018-present reliability
Category: Electric car
The I-Pace is a very luxurious electric SUV that's good value when bought used.
What should I look for in a used Jaguar I-Pace estate?
Inspect the bodywork for any scuffs and dents – these might be expensive to fix – and the alloy wheels for any damage caused by striking the kerb. It’s also worth checking the electrical toys, including the rear tailgate, to make sure all are operational.
What are the most common problems with a used Jaguar I-Pace estate?
Friction brakes
This recall relates to the friction brakes (ie, not the regenerative brakes that most EVs have to slow the vehicle down whilst also recuperating energy to put back into the battery) because these may not comply with current vehicle braking regulations. It applies to I-Paces built from 23 August 2017 until 11 April 2019, and requires a software update to be performed at a Jaguar dealer.
Is a used Jaguar I-Pace estate reliable?
The I-Pace performed poorly in our 2023 What Car? Reliability Survey, coming eighth out of nine cars in the electric car class. This isn't the first time it's proven itself troublesome, either, because it's been like this ever since it was initially released. As a brand, Jaguar ranked 29th out of 32 manufacturers featured – also poor.
