Jaguar will soon be an all-electric brand but for now it has just one EV: the I-Pace.
The svelte SUV has received some tweaks for the 2023 model year, headlined by a new feature for its infotainment system. It’s available now.
Jaguar is using its oft-overlooked I-Pace to debut the new Amazon Alexa integration for its Pivi Pro infotainment system.
It’ll also be part of an over-the-air update for existing owners with compatible cars.
The system allows drivers to use natural voice prompts – “Alexa, navigate home” – to control the navigation and media. It also syncs up with an owner’s Amazon account to give access to things like shopping lists and calendars.
MY23 I-Pace models also now have the option of a Premium Black Pack, costing $5008, which adds a gloss black finish to the grille, window surrounds, mirror caps and rear badges and includes gloss black 22-inch alloy wheels.
Ostuni White metallic paint joins the colour palette, but otherwise the I-Pace is unchanged.
EV sales may have soared in Australia last year, if from a low base, but the I-Pace hasn’t kept pace.
Sales slumped 37.1 per cent, though admittedly 2021 was a rough year for many brands in terms of supply.
With just 44 sales, the shapely I-Pace was outsold by the Mercedes-Benz EQC (293), Audi e-tron (108) and BMW iX3 (62).
When it comes to electric vehicles, only the Lexus UX300e and BMW iX posted lower sales tallies in 2021, but they were introduced towards the very end of the year.
