The Jaguar I-Pace nis a battery-electric crossover SUV produced by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) under their Jaguar marque. The I-Pace was announced in March 2018, European deliveries began in June 2018 and North American deliveries started in October 2018. Amid slowing sales and a change in corporate vision, Jaguar has announced that the I-Pace is to be discontinued by 2025.

Yes, production began this week at their plant in Austria. The i Pace is the first of 2 vehicles that Magna Steyr will be building for JLR.

Therefore, Magna's CEO saying:
has absolutely no value. To him, the I-Pace is the second coming of Christ, while it's more like 'nicely designed meh'.

New battery layout needed for next electric Jaguar
Jaguar is looking at “various battery configurations” as it aims to develop a sister vehicle to the pure-electric I-Pace that can have a lower seating position more akin to a sports car, or even a conventional saloon.
The British firm’s first pure-electric car is due on sale before the end of next year. Engineers made a conscious decision to give it a more SUV-like shape because this brings a slightly higher roofline - which, in turn, allows the battery pack to be mounted under a raised floor.
However, Jaguar’s Design Director Ian Callum has admitted that the company’s desire to produce a lower EV is forcing its engineers to look at spreading the batteries out in lots of different locations around the vehicle - including at the very front and rear (instead of between the axles) and vertically.
“We know that we’ll have to be flexible in how the battery packs are built up,” Callum said. “They don’t necessarily need to be a single slab in one area, as long as they’re properly interconnected. So yes, we’re looking at various configurations as we look beyond the I-Pace - particularly to help with the H-point [the height of the occupants’ hips] in the rear seats, because that’s really one of the defining areas.”
Callum, who was speaking as the I-Pace received the Royal Automobile Club’s Dewar Trophy for technical innovation, said he was keen to see whether some of Jaguar’s rivals are able to bring a lower EV to market more quickly. “It’ll be interesting to see what Porsche does [with Mission E],” he admitted. “Is there still a future for the ‘low car’ in a world of EVs? I’d like to think so.”
Jaguar’s development team has also reworked the I-Pace’s cabin because there was too much rear legroom, Callum revealed. “Because of the bespoke platform and the way an electric vehicle can be packaged, we actually had too much space in the back of the car,” he said. “So we revisited it and ended up moving the rear seat forwards. It gave a more realistic amount of space - which is still very generous - but opened up even more boot space.”

I heard about 2500 are already on order by Norwegians. They went huts over Model S and ordered them by the truckload, so obviously they have the stomach to be beta testers for EL cars.

Google Translated from Autoblog.nl:
The first complete electric production car from Jaguar is available from March. In the run-up to the sales start, Jaguar communicated target prices from I-PACE to customers. The electric pastry is not going to be cheap.
It was already known that the I-PACE would not be the most advantageous Jaguar ever. They talked about a 10 to 15 percent more expensive starting price compared to the F-PACE. Now Jaguar has communicated a few target prices, so that we can get a better picture of the final consumer price.
According to the report, the I-PACE will soon start at around 82,000 euros. This is the I-PACE S, the slip-on with LED headlights, 18-inch wheels and a Meridian audio system. Above that, the I-PACE SE is 90,000 euros. This variant comes with things like 20-inch wheels, Adaptive cruise control, a leather interior and an electrically operated tailgate. Then comes the I-PACE HSE. This costs about 97 mille costs. This version comes with, among other things, 18-fold electrically adjustable seats, heated front and rear seats, Meridian Surround Audio and Matrix headlights.
In addition, Jaguar launches an I-PACE First Edition. This 106,000 euro variant of the electric car gets, in addition to all the aforementioned options from other variants, things like a head-up display, air suspension and a panorama roof.
On a technical level, all variants of I-PACE are the same. This means 400 hp, 700 Nm of torque. 543 kilometers range (NEDC), standard four-wheel drive, a 90 kWh battery and a sprint to one hundred in four seconds. The first customers drive in their I-PACE in the summer of 2018.
