Recently Tesla started delivering its more affordably priced SUV, the Model Y. The Model Y is based off their incredibly popular Model 3 sedan and this SUV is going to sell really well, but will it beat the Jaguar iPace? Late in 2018 Jaguar started delivering its first built from the ground up electric SUV, called the iPace. Both of these SUVs offer great styling and performance, but which one has the upper hand?

Recently Tesla started delivering its more affordably priced SUV, the Model Y. The
Model Y is based off their incredibly popular Model 3 sedan and this SUV is going to
sell really well, but will it beat the Jaguar iPace?
Late in 2018 Jaguar started delivering its first built from the ground up electric SUV,
called the iPace. Both of these SUVs offer great styling and performance, but which
one has the upper hand?
Key Metrics
Let’s examine some key metrics and find out starting with the purchase cost.
Currently, the Model Y is available in two variants, you have your choice of either the
long-range all-wheel-drive Model or the performance all-wheel drive Model.

2. Later next year Tessa will roll out a standard range Model starting somewhere
around 39 thousand dollars.
The Jaguar iPace comes in three trim levels, you can choose from the S trim level,
the SE trim level, or the HSE trim levels.
For this purchase cost comparison, we’re going to use the long-range Model Y and
compare that to the base Model of the iPace S trim.
If you take a look at the purchase price of these vehicles with the delivery fee added
you’ll see there that the Jaguar iPace cost just over $16,000 more without any
features being added.
Features
With nothing added to the iPace you’ll see there’s already over a sixteen thousand
dollar difference, but when you dive into these two vehicles and compare apples to
apples, you have to add some of the features that come standard on the Model Y to
the iPace costs.
Standard Features
Standard Features i-Pace Model Y
Power Liftgate +$400 Standard
Autopilot +$3000 Standard

3. Heated Seats +$1000 Standard
Fog Lights/Folding Mirrors +$460 Standard
Daytime Running Lights +$850 Standard
Premium Audio +$450 Standard
Total Additional Costs +$6,160 $0
If you want to add a power liftgate to the iPacee that costs an extra $400, to get
similar driver’s assist features on the iPace that comes standard with a Model Y, that
costs an extra three thousand dollars.
If you would like heated seats that’s an extra thousand dollars in the iPace, to get fog
lights and folding mirrors that’s an extra 460 dollars.
If you want the daytime running LED lights that cost an extra eight hundred and fifty
dollars, and if you’d like to upgrade to premium audio that’ll cost you an additional
four hundred fifty dollars.
If you add all this up this comes out to an additional six thousand one hundred and
sixty dollars Added to the purchase price of the ipace if he compared apples to
apples.

4. Now you see the purchase cost adjusted for an apples-to-apples comparison, there
is well over a twenty-two thousand dollar difference between the two vehicles.
And the monthly payment would be almost four hundred dollars more expensive
each month. The iPace is quite a bit more expensive, but is it worth it?
Dimensions
Now I would like to take a look at both the interior, and exterior measurements and
see which one offers more room.
If you compare the exterior dimensions of the Model Y to the iPace, you’ll see there
that the Model Y is almost three inches long, and is almost two and a half inches
higher. The wheelbase of the Model Y is though almost four inches less.
i-Pace Model Y Y vs i-Pace
Length 184.3 inch 187 inch +2.7 inch
Width (W/Mirrors) 84.2 inch 83.7 inch -0.4 inch
Height 61.6 inch 63.9 inch +2.3 inch
Wheelbase 117.7 inch 113.8 inch -3.9 inch

5. Ground Clearance 7.5-11 inch 6.6 inch -0.9 to -4.4 inch
The big difference comes in the ground clearance. The iPace has a ground
clearance of 7.5 inches, up to 11 inches on its highest setting, whereas the Model Y
has a ground clearance of around 6.6 inches.
Cargo Space
If you look at the most important measurements, which in my opinion are the interior
measurements, and that’s because that measures how much room you have for
cargo and how comfortably you’ll be able to fit into this vehicle.
You’ll see there when it comes to headroom that the front Headroom of the Model Y
is a little over 1 inch more, the rear headroom is about 1.3 inches less, but what’s
important is the rear legroom on the Model Y is considerably longer than you have
with the iPace.
The Model Y has somewhere around five and a half inches more legroom, and just
under one inches more legroom in the front seats.
When comparing the shoulder room between the two vehicles, you’ll see there that
the Model Y has slightly less shoulder room than the iPace.

6. If you fold down the back row of these hatchback SUVs you’ll see there that the
iPace offers just under 52 cubic feet of cargo space, the Model Y however, has 68
cubic feet of cargo space. So the Model Y offers more storage and more legroom,
but what about the performance of the vehicle?
As I mentioned before, the Model Y is currently available in two variants, the
long-range all-wheel drive, and the performance all-wheel drive Models, and they
have slightly different specs.
Performance
The iPace is available in three different Models as mentioned, but all three Models
had the same performance specs. The iPace can go up to 124 miles per hour, and
zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds. whereas, the performance Model Y can go up to 145
miles per hour, and go 0 to 60 and 3.5 seconds.

7. The long-range all-wheel-drive Model Y can go 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds, and travel up
to 135 miles per hour. So the Model Y performance offers more performance than
any of the top trim iPace offers.
Top Speed 0-60 EPS Range
Model Y LR 113 4.8 316
Model Y PERF 145 3.5 315
i-Pace All Models 124 4.5 234
Efficiency
Let’s talk about two of maybe the most important metrics of an electric vehicle, and
that is the range and efficiency.
With 19-inch tires on the Tesla Model Y, you should be able to get somewhere
around 315 miles per charge according to the EPA. Whereas, according to the EPA
the Jaguar iPace will only get up to about 234 miles of range.
There’s quite a big difference in those numbers and these numbers get increasingly
different as you examine the battery size, and determine the efficiency of these
vehicles.

8. According to fueleconomy.gov the Model Y has a mile per gallon equivalent of
somewhere around 121, and the Jaguar iPace mile per gallon equivalent is
somewhere around 76.
While the miles per gallon equivalent could be helpful in some circumstances, I find it
more important to determine the watt-hours per mile and the miles that can be driven
per kilowatt-hour. This is how you determine the efficiency of an electric vehicle.
Both variants of the Model Y come with a 74-kilowatt-hour battery, whereas the
iPace has a 90-kilowatt-hour battery.
Tesla can achieve quite a bit more EPA rated range with a smaller battery, they do
this by having less energy consumption per mile.
As you can see the Tesla Model Y long range has a consumption of around 234-watt
hours per mile, and it can travel four point two seven miles per kilowatt-hour of
battery capacity.
Whereas the Jaguar iPace consumes somewhere around three hundred and
eighty-five watt-hours per mile, and can only go two point six miles per kilowatt-hour.
Battery Size EPA Range Wh/M Miles kWh
Model Y LR 74 kWh 316 234 Wh 4.27 mi
Model Y PERF 74 kWh 315 235 Wh 4.26 mi

9. i-Pace 90 kWh 234 385 Wh 2.6 mi
The Model Y uses 39% less energy per mile, and if Jaguar wanted the iPace to have
the same EPA rated range as the Model Y, they would need to increase their battery
pack to over 120-kilowatt hours.
The Model Y is considerably more efficient, and it will cost you less per mile to drive
when it comes down to energy costs.
Charging Speed
When it comes to charging speed, besides the speed of the actual charger itself, two
big factors determine how fast your car will charge.
The first is how efficient the vehicle is, and the second is the maximum charge rate
that your vehicle can accept.
Since a Model Y can travel quite a bit further per kilowatt-hour, it can gain more
miles of range in less time.
On top of this, the Model Y has a charge rate of up to 250 kilowatts, whereas, the
iPace has a charge rate of up to 100 kilowatts.
To put these stats into real-world examples. If you were to connect the Model Y to a
fast charger you would be able to gain 158 miles of range in 15 minutes.
Whereas, the iPace would only be able to gain around 62 miles in that same 15
minutes.

10. The bottom line is on a trip you’ll spend quite a bit less time charging your Model Y
than you will your Jaguar iPace.
On top of all this, the Tesla Model Y has access to Tesla’s amazing supercharging
Network, which makes charging both easy, fast, and convenient.
The Jaguar iPace has to rely on other charging networks that are not quite as well
developed yet.
Battery Charge Rate DC Fast Charge Speed
Model Y 74 kWh 250 kW Max 158 Miles in 15 Mins
i-Pace 90 kWh 100 kW Max 62 Miles in 15 Mins
Warranty
Both Jaguar and Tesla both have very similar battery warranties. Both companies
guarantee that their batteries will maintain at least 70% of the capacity in eight years
or a hundred thousand miles for the iPace, and eight years or 120 thousand miles for
the Model Y long-range and the Model Y performance.
The power train of the Model Y is guaranteed up to eight years, 120 thousand miles,
whereas the IPAs power train is only guaranteed for five years and 60,000 miles.

11. If you look at the comprehensive warranty for the entire vehicle, the Model Y has a
warranty of four years 50,000 miles, and the iPace has a warranty of five years and
60,000 miles.
Autonomy
The future of transportation is not only electric but I believe it will be autonomous. in
the coming years, I believe Tesla will reach full autonomy, and we will see more
autonomous vehicles on our roads.
Every Tesla Model Y that is sold today has all the hardware necessary for
self-driving. It has eight cameras, a front-facing radar system, 12 ultrasonic sensors,
GPS and digital maps and a Tesla designed full self-driving computer.
Whether or not you pay for the full self-driving package, you have the option to do so
in the future.
While the Jaguar iPace does have some driver assist features that can be added for
$3,000, their vehicles are not designed to be full self-driving autonomous vehicles.
Waymo has instead partnered with Jaguar, and they are using the iPace as some of
their test fleet for their autonomous vehicles.
In order to do this they have added a number of radar and lidar sensors to the
system, adding probably somewhere around $100,000 of cost to the vehicle to make
it fully self-driving.

12. Tesla has designed the Model Y like their other vehicles to have all this hardware
built-in, but not be noticeable.
In Conclusion
If you look at a comparison of these two vehicles, you’ll see there that the Tesla
Model Y has the lowest cost of ownership, and it has more standard features.
It has more room for your passengers and cargo, it has greater performance, it has
much better range and efficiency, the charging speed is much better, and in my
opinion, it has a better warranty because the most expensive components of the car
are guaranteed for a longer period.
Based on these key metrics tests, Tesla wins all seven, and in my opinion and based
on these metrics the Tesla Model Y is a much better vehicle and a much better
option for most people.
