2020 Jaguar I-Pace review: Good and getting better

Jaguar's electric SUV doesn't boast the longest range, but this solid performer will only get better with next year's updates.

I'd guess the "inconsistent" regeneration he reports is caused by the inability to do "high" regen with a nearly fully-charged battery. Regen seems very consistent to me once the charge drops off a bit from full.

Agree. Funny that these journalists don't understand the basic technology when writing/reviewing electric cars. I remember reading an article commenting that ipace had very little regen but had it toggled to low.

I usually like CNet but this review is stupid. It's an appliance review. Does the car charge? How far does it go? What about the infotainment setup? Arg.

He sums up the driving experience thus: "Pleasant to drive".
Is the dude on quaaludes?
We drive our I-Paces for the sublime driving experience that makes no compromises in versatility. This review, while I appreciate its overall positive tone, is off the mark for the faint praise it gives for less relevant features while missing the forest for the trees.

Tech review, not a car review. Apparently sitting on the driveway pressing buttons is more important than driving down the road.
I guess some people would buy a washing machine because the control panel is more responsive and intuitive rather than washing clothes cleaner. Everyone to their own.
