I don't know if the website was just updated, or if this is old news, but 220 miles of range and it looks much nicer than the Bolt. The only question now is how much? I'm hoping for $50K or so, below the Tesla/CT6/XC90 and above the Volt/Bolt/Leaf/Prius Prime/base Model 3.

It looks and sounds like a winner...but there's that Jaguar dependability that's causing doubts for me...but will be a contender in 3 years, once my Volt warranty runs out and I'm looking to see what will be available then

Cars can run for much longer than their warranty nowadays. And it is often cheaper to repair cars than replace them with new cars.

I know British cars are legendary for leaking every fluid known to man, Jags and Triumphs. I had a friend in high school who bought a Triumph TR7 where he had to add every fluid before going somewhere. It was downright expensive to drive, but it looked cool and was fun. I think they have since fixed that problem now that Jaguar got acquired by Ford, only to be later sold to Tata Motors.

So this British car might technically be an Indian car if you follow the money, just like the way Volvo was a Swedish car now owned by the Chinese, and Chrysler is now Italian (Fiat).

From their FAQs:
Q - "How much is the I-PACE likely to cost?"
A - "While electric propulsion systems can be twice as expensive as conventional systems, we assume the I-PACE will be priced 10-15% above a similarly powered and equipped Jaguar F-PACE."

Jaguar has some fine looking cars these days and this new EV does look very good. I think its main competition, after pricing is fixed, will be the Tesla Model 3. The EV Wars are heating up-a Good Thing- but remember that GM may have some aces up its secret sleeve that we don't know about yet. I think that the Gen 2 Volt is a good example of exceeding (my) expectations for improvements in powertrain, range, appearance - nearly everything- in its all-new upgrade over Gen 1. It's likely that the Gen 2 Bolt EV is already in prototype form, probably running around in disguise somewhere in Michigan.
Bolt EV was a crash program to be first with the most and I would expect features deferred due to the rush (you know what they are) will be added soon or in a Gen 2.

I saw an F-PACE in real life at the local pet store. The F-PACE is really an SUV while the I-PACE is more like a CUV. So there is some marketing spin in that statement. Since there isn't an ICE version of the I-PACE, it's like saying your EV Nissan Juke will only cost 10-15% more than a conventionally propelled Murano (which is probably twice the price of the ICE Juke).

That said, the F-PACE ranges between $42-60K. So worst case scenario at 15% would mean $48-69K. Starting to get close to Tesla Model S/X territory. Alas, that isn't quite right as the wide variance in F-PACE price is for different sized/types of engines (4 banger gas, 4 banger diesel, 6 banger supercharged).

That car would look pretty good in my garage parked next to my F-Type.

BTW, Ford owned Jaguar for 19 years and spent over 12 billion dollars modernizing their plants and production techniques. The cars are built pretty well now. When I checked J D Powers before I bought the F Type they were rated five stars for design and build quality and four for reliability.
