Taylor Hoel, a Jaguar spokesperson, confirmed that some retailers are providing “superb offers.” In an e mail to Electrek, he wrote:
As an trade and as a model, gross sales have slowed down over the previous couple of months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nationally on I-PACE, we’re selling 0% APR for as much as 72 months, and a finance cost deferral program which permits new finance prospects to defer their first cost for 90 days.
When the I-Tempo arrived on the scene almost two years in the past, it confirmed nice promise. The dual-motor, all-wheel-drive I-Tempo offers an estimated 234 miles of vary. Maybe the 90-kWh EV may have been extra environment friendly. Nevertheless it has a ton of functionality.
The electrical Jag can dash from zero to 60 mph in simply over 4 seconds. It delivers as much as 512 pound-feet of torque. And the I-Tempo borrows tech from Land Rover that permits it to deal with rugged terrain, even wading by shallow creeks. I’ve pushed it just a few occasions and love the best way it handles.
Tesla is extra environment friendly, costs sooner, and gives its Supercharger community. Maybe Jaguar is reducing costs in anticipation of the Tesla Mannequin Y coming quickly. Regardless, with Jaguar’s deep reductions in play, luxurious EV consumers ought to at the very least check out the I-Tempo and maybe give it a take a look at spin.
Magnificence is subjective. However I just like the power-wagon type of the I-Tempo. There are small overhangs that push the automobile’s large wheels to the corners. The automobile appears to be like muscular and taut. Wayne Burgess, the designer, advised me that it was impressed by the 2010 C-X75 supercar idea, Jaguar’s Sixties XJ racers, and even somewhat little bit of the NASA moon buggy.
The Jaguar I-Tempo received a ton of design awards and managed to rack up a modest 18,000 gross sales worldwide final yr. However the firm solely offered a pair thousand within the US in 2019. Regardless of its promise to be a legit various to Tesla, that hasn’t materialized. It didn’t assist that Jaguar confronted a scarcity of batteries.
Whereas the present killer offers are on 2019 fashions, dealerships from Atlanta to Sacramento are additionally providing reductions of $10,000 or extra on 2020 fashions. That drops the worth of the I-Tempo, relying on the trim bundle, as little as $70,000.
Lease offers are additionally compelling. Jaguar of Tampa is providing $499-a-month leases with a zero down cost. The Tampa dealership additionally has a really barely used personalized blue-and-white, two-tone mannequin with about 2,500 miles on the odometer. It was supplied for $65,500 two months in the past. Now the worth has been dropped to $47,171.
Possibly what was holding again the I-Tempo was its value – you realize, for what it’s and the way a lot vary it gives. However for at the very least for a short interval, proper now, that’s being corrected with unbelievable offers. See what your native Jag seller is providing for an I-Tempo electrical crossover.
