Jaguar I-Pace EV320 - Bjorn Nyland's range test [video]

Bjorn Nayland tested the real range of the Jaguar I-Pace EV320 in winter. The Jaguar I-Pace EV320 is a slightly different approach than the Audi e-tron 55 and e-tron 50. While Audi is cutting power and battery, Jaguar has decided to limit available power from 297kW (400hp) to 236 kW (320 hp) and 696 to 500 Nm of torque, but the EV320 retains the same battery as the EV400.

The power reserve of the Jaguar I-Pace EV320 is good in winter, when driving slowly, the car becomes energy-intensive on the track

The Jaguar I-Pace is the frontier of the D and D-SUV segments, an electric crossover. The car is 4,68 meters long, so it's not particularly long - this year's Volkswagen Passat is almost 10 centimeters longer (4,78 meters). But the Passat has a wheelbase of 2,79 meters and most of its front end is taken up by the internal combustion engine, while the I-Pace has 2,99 meters of axles!

Jaguar I-Pace EV320 ma Batteries capacity 84,7 (90) kWh and offers 470 WLTP range units... With 20-inch rims, this drops to 439 units, at temperatures close to zero, it drops to 330 units, at least according to the manufacturer's declaration. Thus, Nyland, which is always slightly better than the calculations and results of the WLTP, should reach 350-360 kilometers at a speed of 90 km / h.

Will it be like this? Let's figure it out:

I-Pace EV320 range at 90 km / h = 372 kilometers

Nyland's measurements showed that a fully charged battery car could travel 372 km and consume 83,8 kWh of energy (22,5 kWh / 100 km). We are talking about a very quiet ride at a speed of 90 km / h (94 km / h), which in Poland would be driving from a not very safe category due to the fact that almost all possible vehicles regularly overtake us: buses, cars pull boats, even trucks.

If we decided to drain the battery to 10 percent, we would have about 335 kilometers to drive. in the range of 80-> 10 percentlet's go on one charge 260 km.

Power reserve Jaguar I-Pace EV320 at 120 km / h = 275 kilometers

At 120 km / h, the car proved to be very energy intensive, reaching 30,5 kWh / 100 km (305 Wh / km). This is a lot, even if you consider that the test takes place in winter conditions. The Jaguar I-Pace is comfortable but fun to drive in the range of 80-> 10 percent we only have 193 kilometers of range without recharging... So every trip over 400 kilometers will involve planning "slower but faster, or maybe faster, but with [next] stop to charge?"

Summation

Shortly before the trip, Nyland noticed glued windows in front... During the test, he noticed that the I-Pace EV320 is probably intelligently saving energy by heating only the part where the driver is and keeping the rest of the cabin cool. In Korean cars, there is a special button for this, in others it is different.

Youtuber stressed that even at 120 km / h, the cabin is quiet... Despite the freezing temperatures outside, the car was charged with a power of 107 kW. Yes, that was after the first test, so the battery should be warm, but it can be assumed that even in winter the Jaguar I-Pace will reach close to maximum charging power.
