  • The all-electric Jaguar I-PACE has won Stuff Magazine’s ‘Best Car’ Award, marking a clean sweep of awards in the major UK tech publications
  • I-PACE has already been named Pocket-lint’s ‘Best Car’ and T3’s ‘Best Car’ this year, as well as ‘German Car of the Year’ and ‘Sunday Times Car of the Year’

Whitley, Coventry. 27 December: The Jaguar I-PACE has won its third major UK tech award this year, having been named ‘Best Car’ by Stuff Magazine; the best-selling gadget magazine. The award follows on the heels of I-PACE being named ‘Best Car’ by T3 and ‘Best Car’ by Pocket-lint, marking a clean sweep among major tech   publications.  

I-PACE is the most high-tech Jaguar ever produced, featuring a fully-electric powertrain fitted with two electric motors. It is also Jaguar’s first vehicle to include the Touch Pro Duo infotainment system, capable of over-the-air software updates, and uses artificial intelligence to adapt to a driver’s personal preferences, ensuring driving and infotainment settings are matched to each individual using the car.

With four-wheel-drive, 400PS and 696Nm of torque, I-PACE delivers sports car performance, accelerating from 0-60mph in just 4.5 seconds. Despite its exhilarating speed, I-PACE is capable of 292 miles (WLTP) of real-world all-electric range, thanks to a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery complemented by a suite of range-optimising technologies, including an advanced battery pre-conditioning system.

We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the response to I-PACE. There are many that said the world isn’t ready for electric cars, but with a range of almost 300 miles, a quick charging time, sports car performance and nearly 25 major global awards under its belt, the I-PACE has proven them wrong in incredible style. Thank you to the team at Stuff for this award; it’s the latest in a long line of accolades that really validates the years of hard work, from thousands of passionate employees, that went into creating the car.
