\"Jaguar<\/p>\n<\/div>

Los Angeles<\/em> \u2014 Look out Tesla Model X, your rear-view mirrors are filled with Jaguar.<\/p>\n

On a new electric architecture that shares the suspension with the 2017 Jaguar F-PACE crossover, the all-electric I-PACE concept sport utility will be the first direct competition to Tesla\u2019s gull-winged, six-figure-priced EV rocket. The I-PACE was introduced Monday night ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show, but executives say it\u2019s a close approximation of the production version due to hit shelves in late 2018.<\/p>\n

The iconic British performance car manufacturer bills the I-PACE as a \u201cfive-seat sports car and a performance SUV in one.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Jaguar bears the familiar design cues \u2014 large grille, slated headlights and muscular hips \u2014 of its carbon-fueled stablemates, the I-PACE cabin is moved well-forward because there is no engine up front.<\/p>\n

Combined with a more open cabin design \u2014 courtesy of its huge, 90 kWh battery in the floor \u2014 the I-PACE promises big interior volume numbers to go with its big performance figures. Jaguar estimates its range at 220 miles on a single charge. With 400 horsepower and whopping 516 pound-feet of torque on tap, the vehicle is expected to zip from zero-60 in just four seconds.<\/p>\n

Jaguar says its experience in the all-electric Formula E racing series has trickled down into the development of the I-PACE\u2019s all-wheel-drive, electric-motor drivetrain. The brand also promises an innovative, \u201cflightdeck\u201d cockpit with gearshift buttons and three screens.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe I-PACE concept represents the next generation of electric vehicle design,\u201d Director of Design Ian Callum told a celebrity-sprinkled audience. \u201cIt\u2019s a dramatic, future-facing cab-forward design with a beautiful interior \u2014 the product of authentic Jaguar DNA, electric technology and contemporary craftsmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaguar put on the glitz with a world-first, love cross-continent virtual reality reveal experience featuring actress Michelle Rodriguez, late night-talk show host James Corden, supermodel Miranda Kerr and Washington Nationals right fielder Bryce Harper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
