The all-electric Jaguar I-PACE has won Best Electric Powertrain, Best New Engine, and the 257 kW to 330 kW (350 to 450PS) category at The International Engine + Powertrain of the Year Awards.
Announced at the Engine Expo + The Powertrain Technology Show in Stuttgart, the panel of 70 expert motoring journalists from 31 countries took into account key characteristics including performance, driveability, energy efficiency and refinement.
These three titles recognise the technical excellence of the I-PACE’s zero emissions powertrain, which was designed and developed in-house.
Ian Hoban, Powertrain Director, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “We’ve used all the benefits of state-of-the-art battery and motor technology to create a world-class electric vehicle. As well as zero emissions, the all-electric powertrain delivers an ideal balance of performance, refinement and range, together with outstanding responsiveness, agility and day-to-day usability. I-PACE is a true driver’s car, and above all a true Jaguar.
We set out to make the world’s best all-electric performance SUV: these awards reflect that, and are fitting recognition for what the engineering team has achieved.”
I-PACE’s 90 kW lithium-ion battery enables a range of up to 470 km (WLTP). It’s capable of charging from 0-80% in just 40 m using a 100 kW DC charger, or in just over ten hours when using a 7 kW AC wallbox – ideal for overnight charging at home.
I-PACE has received 66 global awards since it was revealed little more than a year ago, including 2019 World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year, World Green Car, European Car of the Year, and German, Norwegian and UK Car of the Year.
