The carandbike Show - Episode 887 Jaguar I-Pace Review | The Push To Plug-in
Jaguar Land Rover India launched its first-ever electric SUV, the Jaguar I-Pace in India in March 2021. Since then, India and the world have changed a lot. But now that we got our hands on the I-Pace in India, we thought why not tell you more about Jaguar's first ever EV, a luxury one at that. The I-Pace comes to India nearly three years after making its global debut, however, given the push Electric Vehicles (EV) are getting in India right now, this could very well be the right time for a product like the I-Pace. With prices beginning from Rs. 1.05 crore and going up to Rs, 1.12 crore (ex-showroom, India), the I-Pace is marginally expensive than its closest rival, the Mercedes-Benz EQC. And another quick nuggets! Audi India will soon launch the e-Tron electric SUV in India. Now, that would be one heck of a comparison! Don' you agree? Carrying on with the topic of EVs, Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, editor-in-chief, carandbike, speaks to two stalwarts from the EV industry, Anand Kulkarni, who is the product line director, electric vehicles and ALFA architecture, PVBU, Tata Motors and Sandeep Bangia, Head of EV, HA and ESCO Business at Tata Power about the future of EVs, the policies and few other exciting topics within the EV ecosystem in India.
