There is a particular kind of freedom that comes from driving the Pacific Coast Highway with nothing but the sound of ocean wind and the whisper of electric motors. The Jaguar I-PACE was built for exactly this experience, a fully electric luxury SUV that turns the act of commuting into something closer to art.
The Jaguar I-PACE is not a converted gas vehicle with a battery pack bolted in. It was designed from the ground up as an electric luxury SUV for Los Angeles drivers, with a purpose-built platform that places the battery low in the floor, giving it a center of gravity that rivals sports cars.
The result is a crossover that handles corners with precision, launches from a stop with instant torque, and wraps the driver in a handcrafted interior that signals nothing has been sacrificed in the move to electrification. As the final model year of the first all-electric Jaguar, it is also a rare last-chance buy, available new now at Galpin Jaguar.
Range That Goes the Distance
One of the first questions EV shoppers ask is range. The Jaguar I-PACE range sits at approximately 246 miles on a full charge, which is more than enough for a day trip from Van Nuys to Santa Barbara and back, with charge to spare. Range figures are EPA estimates and will vary with driving conditions, climate, terrain, and battery age.
For Angelenos whose daily commute averages under 40 miles, the I-PACE delivers nearly a week of driving on a single home charge. And with the rapid-charging capability of a 100 kW DC fast charger, the battery can go from low to 80 percent in about 45 minutes.
Instant Torque, Zero Compromise
Two electric motors, one on each axle, produce a combined 394 horsepower and 512 lb-ft of torque, available instantaneously. The I-PACE reaches 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. That kind of acceleration, paired with all-wheel drive, makes it equally capable on a rainy freeway and a sun-drenched canyon road.
The Interior: Where Technology Meets Craft
Step inside the I-PACE and the absence of an engine becomes an asset. The cabin is quieter than almost anything else on the road. The dual-screen Pivi Pro system manages navigation, audio, and climate with minimal input required. Windsor leather, open-pore wood, and brushed aluminum surfaces remind you that efficiency and elegance are not mutually exclusive.
EV Charging in the Van Nuys Area
Concerns about EV charging in Van Nuys are understandable but increasingly unfounded. The region has seen rapid expansion of both Level 2 and DC fast charging infrastructure. Combined with the growing availability of home chargers (Galpin can help connect you with installation resources), I-PACE ownership in the LA area is remarkably convenient.
Galpin Jaguar also sells and services the I-PACE, meaning your local dealer is a full partner in your EV ownership journey. Browse our new I-PACE inventory to see what’s currently on the lot.
A Drive Worth Taking
Picture it: Highway 1 just north of Malibu on a June morning. The I-PACE settles into curves with authority. The cabin is silent except for the subtle rush of wind. The regenerative braking catches the downhill without a touch of the pedal. It doesn’t feel like the future; it feels like right now, elevated.
