All British Cars, the exclusive distributor of Jaguar vehicles in the Philippines, announces its first-ever moved towards electrification with the unveiling of the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE.
Performance should not be doubted on Jaguar’s Smartest Five-Seater Sports Car. Being a pure electric vehicle, I-PACE delivers power instantly; it is unmatched by vehicles with a conventional engine. Unlike cars with engines and gearboxes that can only deliver around 70-75-percent of what the engine can produce at the wheels, the I-PACE delivers 97-percent of electric power at the wheels. Thanks to its instant and efficient powertrain, I-PACE produces 400 PS of power and 696 Nm of torque, capable of accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.8 seconds—all these figures without emissions.
According to Jaguar Philippines, I-PACE is a leap forward towards revolutionary design and technology. Similar to the best handling sports cars, I-PACE keeps its weight between the wheels with the battery sitting low between the axles, allowing a near perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Two electric motors deliver power to where maximum grip is available among all four wheels. The body, made from alloy and steel, was fashioned to maximize strength and safety without compromise on weight. It was designed to maintain down force as the vehicle increases speed.
The I-PACE is not only efficient on road, but also proficient to its users. Users can leave the charger plugged and can set when the I-PACE will charge. The I-PACE can pre-condition the battery and cabin temperature prior to planned departure. The thermal management system ensures the battery is optimized for the journey. Moreover, the I-PACE can also update its software over the air. This allows users to always get the latest version of telematics and battery energy control software without visiting Jaguar service centers.
In terms of power, the I-PACE is a 90-kW lithium ion high-voltage battery. Charging from zero to full would take 12 hours and 48 minutes using the bundled 7-kW charger, ideal for home charging. It is covered with an eight-year, 160,000-kilometer, 70 percent health state warranty.I-PACE is also capable of regenerative braking which allows it to harness energy during deceleration.
The I-PACE units coming to Manila will be future-proof and will be equipped with the latest upgrades. It will sport 11-kW on-board charger to allow faster charging in the future and the new Pivi Pro infotainment system,which is created to be as intuitive and easy to use as a smartphone.
Every I-PACE comes with a Type 2 Plug 7 kW wall charger. Installation costs are not included, and it may vary per household. Our supplier will be evaluating interested households if their homes are qualified for a charger before we even sell an I-PACE.
Moreover, All British Cars is now accepting orders for the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE which comes at P7,590,000. Buyers may also purchase an additional charger for their second homes or offices. A second charger costs P105,000 (installation not included).
Aside from adding the all-electric sports car to its roster, All British Cars is also expanding with their Jaguar Land Rover BGC Boutique Showroom. The second showroom follows the global Jaguar Land Rover ARCH retail design standard which was designed to excite customers and create memorable experiences while maintaining to be customer centric.
