Ipace vs model x which one would I buy inside and outside review 🔌🚗🔋

This week I'm off to go and see the new Jaguar I-Pace which is the new electric car from Jaguar. Now the exterior of the Jaguar really, really impressed me. Exterior wise I think it is better looking than the Model X which I am a fan of the Model X look but I do think the Jaguar's got something a little bit extra about it. It's a very, very nice shape. It's a lot smaller than the Model X overall. It's not as big inside or outside. My biggest bugbear is this charge flap. It's just a bit big and it's a bit ugly. It's obviously got type 2 and CCS and the CCS is capable up to 150 kilowatts when charging stations come in. The front trunk has a very, very small space compared to the Model X. The cables included are type 2 to type 2 and a 3-pin granny cable. The boot is your usual self-opening tailgate and self-closing tailgate. The seats are on a like a 20-30 split. They don't fall completely flat. There's a bit of a bit of a lip which I'll show at the end with some images I took. The handles have a disappearing mechanism come back out. Now unlike the test they don't present themselves. You have to press this little button here. They then present themselves and then you pull the handle out. The interior's got quite a premium feel to it. It's very nice, very luxurious. I wouldn't say it's any better than the Tesla. In fact, in some respects I prefer the Tesla's big screen rather than all the buttons but they are quite nice. The way they've laid them out, the digital buttons, digital bits for heated seats and heating controls. Now it's in demo mode so a lot of the screens on here will just basically flick through for all the screens that are on. There's quite a nice little menu. I like the digital speedo system. It's the same that Jaguar and Land Rover have been using on all their other models for years and it's a very nice clean system that I do like the look of. It's multiple changeable. It can input sat-nav system. Compared to the Model 3 which has just got a centre screen it's a lot better. Compare it to the Model X and it's about the same if not less because you haven't got that lovely big centre screen down the middle that you have in the Model X. Instead you've got this small standard size Jaguar size screen in the middle for a sat-nav. Overall the interior, I'd say the Model X is still probably for me the winner overall but it does feel very good. Jaguar, you know, it's a nice improvement. The suspension's higher and lower in like the Jaguar, like the Model X and you've got a heads-up display as well. The back is pretty spacious. You've got this little button here near the door handle which is basically anti-collision. It'll predict if a bike or a car's coming so your passengers don't open the door onto somebody. It'll light up red when someone's walking past. That's a neat little feature I quite think. You've then got the Jaguar dock system in the back of the headrest for putting TV screens and various other bits. I-PACE has also got rear climate control for the passengers. Several USB and charging sockets. 5 watt and then 12 watt cigarette lighter. Plenty of legroom in the back. If you're enjoying this video so far make sure you click the subscribe button down below. It helps me bring more content just like this for you. Now as you'd expect from any car there's various options on leather and also the trim inside and also all the colour options. Now the bottom section I think are the free colours and the top section are the more premium colours. There's quite a nice carbon effect for one of the dashes. There's obviously got the old traditional wood Jag look. Another kind of weird sort of psychedelic look and then the black piano look which the model I'm looking at today had in. And then there's also various options for the leather. Now the one I've seen is this red one here but there's also other colours as you can imagine to suit everyone's sort of budget and taste etc. The key's quite a normal key as you'd expect from Jaguar. Just a standard sort of Jaguar key. So just some bits on the Jaguar just to note out. First of all this picture of the boot with the one of the seats down. As you can see it doesn't go flat which is a bit of a let down really. It means that you can't fully load things flat but it is a very very big boot anyway. I was quite impressed with the space. There's no sort of bulkhead or anything like that detracting up and not allowing you to push things. So you can slide say sheets of plasterboard down there and stuff like that. The other thing to note about the Jaguar is, no one's mentioned this but I think it's a cool thing. It's very similar to what the i8 does. If you turn the Jaguar I-PACE into dynamic mode you can have a fake engine sound inside the car to simulate your sort of driving which I think is quite cool. If you haven't seen the i8 video by the way check that out top right. There's a little link there for you to go and watch that to see what the review of that was and also I did a review of the Model X the week before so check that out top right as well. Have a look at that video. Model X versus Tesla. Which one would I have? It'd still be the Model X. There's a couple of reasons for it. Number one the Model X has the seven seat option. You don't have the seven seat option in the I-PACE. You've got five seats that's it. Model X you can have seven seats, you can have six seats, you can have the aisle down the middle which is like an aeroplane if you have the six seat option which makes it quite versatile quite a nice option. The other thing that no one seems to get unless you've had a Tesla. The Jaguar I-PACE will do one thing. It will stop people going from Jaguar to Tesla. What it will not do is get people to go from Tesla to Jaguar. If you've had a Tesla you will not buy this I-PACE and the reason I say that there's no supercharged network for Jaguar. It's either you use the same electric charge points that every other electric car owner uses or you don't charge on a special network like Tesla. The advantage of that supercharger network is worth a lot of money. The demo model that I saw that day is worth £85,000 with all the extras on. You can get a very very high specced model Model X for £90,000 which comes with loads of premium features. To me the supercharger network depending on what mileage you do can be worth from anything from five to ten thousand pound. The reason for this is when you drive around in a normal electric car and you go to a charge point there's usually only one of them. If you're very lucky there's two of them. One of them will usually be used by another electric car. One of them might be blocked by an ICE car and this means that your charging infrastructure is dependent on how many chargers there are and how many people are using them. If you have a Tesla you have a private charge network which is always far away enough for the ICE drivers not to park there because they're too lazy to park the car far away and walk. They're always dedicated Tesla chargers. They're very very obviously Tesla chargers and you've got their own supercharged private network separate. It's also free to charge on the supercharged network if you use a Tesla referral code like the one in the description below or at the bottom of the video here is a description for a Tesla supercharge network free code and if you use it before the end of this month you'll also receive a credit at the moment of £375 I believe when I've recorded this video. If you're thinking between the Model S and the I-PACE I'd say see both. The rear room in the I-PACE seems to be a little bit better for headroom than the Model S. To me it's just not got the edge that a Tesla has inside. There's just, it's not getting any geeky cool gadgets. It's a great car and it's got lots of premium features and if you're thinking of buying one you won't be disappointed. It looks like a fantastic car. If you want it to be a Tesla, buy a Tesla.
