Electrek’s Take
We’re fairly excited for the launch of the Jaguar I-Tempo because it needs to be among the many first of a sequence of brand name new EVs from established automakers constructed to be electrical from the bottom up.
Till now, (if the report is correct) the worth was the most important unknown in regards to the automobile. The corporate beforehand hinted that it could be moderately priced, whereas others anticipated it to be aggressive with the Tesla Mannequin X and the upcoming Audi e-tron quattro, which is due across the similar time subsequent yr.
With these costs, the automobile is priced equally to the bottom variations of the Mannequin X, however the I-Tempo is a considerably smaller SUV: 4,680 mm size versus 5,037 mm, 1,560 mm top versus 1,684 mm, and a couple of,139 mm versus 2,271 mm.
In my view, it might have been priced slightly decrease, however both method, it’s a welcomed extra choice on the EV market.
