Lower tire pressure to improve the ride. With proper inflation, the ride is generally sporty but not rough.

Already at 2.5 bar (36 psi) which is probably a reasonable minimum on 20".
I still think it's the suspension, because after every noticeable bump it keeps bouncing up-down 2..3 times.
Actually, in service right now, and asked to give more look into that.

36psi all around is good. Maybe call your local government to get the roads repaired?

Unless I skimmed over it.

Is there a way to have it default to Dynamic or do we have to select it everytime?

It would be nice to have that choice. Unfortunately, the European version of the EPA, the WTLP, requires that whatever mode was tested for fuel economy be the default mode at vehicle startup. I wish Jaguar would have a separate setting for North American cars.

Well . . . I've tried ALL the settings and have come to the, precisely calculated conclusion (IMO, of course!) that driving in ECO simply makes you feel like you're being an environmentally responsible citizen. (So, I do it, of course!).

I'm taking the liberty of reviving an old thread because it's a good one.

As @dernotte shows, power split varies among the modes.

However I was not sure whether there might be suspension differences between the modes.

Today I was rummaging around and found this menu in my 2020 InControl menus while I was in Dynamic Mode, which I'm always always in no exception ever.

Screenshots are attached here.

In your Extra Features screen, choose: ASI Suite -> All Surface Information .... and in the window that comes up ("JDC information") tap the right tab ("I car snowflake" icon). There it states that Dynamic mode not only provides a more aggressive pedal response but also more aggressive suspension control (and other parameters).

Apologies to those of you who already knew this 😆🍺

One question I have relates to highway driving with the air suspension ... which mode lowers the car more for aero purposes: Dynamic or Eco? Do folks with lowering rods see any measurable benefit at highway speeds?

My understanding is that all modes with air suspension drop a little at highway speeds, but I don't know if it is the same drop or how much difference it makes.

 

[dernotte]

I can't find my source, but I remember I saw a video from Kyle Conner (out of spec review or other channel) where he tested the consumption of a regular ID.4 and the same car with lower suspension on a long trip. The different were within the error margin.

 

[DHCrocks]

But all USA I-PACE have fancy suspension. LOL.

you need the adaptive dynamics option to change the suspension shock rate. The air suspension only changes the ride height.

I thought I remembered something that the Auto drop at high speed and the manual requested drop of the 2019s was removed. I believe the only time you can make the car drop to the low setting now is to be stopped and open the door. I think it had something to do with having to repair the cars that might damage the bottom of their cars at high speed. I do not remember where I read this, but I do know that I now have no control, manual or auto, of the car dropping to the low setting at high speed.

I remember that 1 item, of better mileage, from dropping the car, is that less of the tires are in the air stream when the car is lowered. Thus cars with wider tires, will see more effect from lowering them compared to cars with narrower tires.

Car drops 10mm at speed over 65 mph. This was in the MY19 and MY22 literature, I have no idea if this has changed via software update.

when I first installed my lowering rods almost 2 years ago I measured the consumption difference and it was negligible. It used 1% less energy over my 14 mile test tract at highway speed.

Thanks for digging this up. The dcdrive lowering links drop the car 1.25" front, 1.5" rear (or 32 mm and 38 mm). I agree that if lowering had any significant impact on highway range, the folks who are using those links would have seen it.

Thanks again.
