The Jaguar I-Pace has received a number of updates for 2023, with exterior styling changes, added technology and a new UK-only range-topping trim level.
The British SUV went on sale back in 2018, and the range of updates for the new model year are intended to help it keep pace in the increasingly crowded premium EV crossover category.

The most notable visual change is a new smooth ‘shield’ grille on the front of the car, which is now coloured grey instead of gloss back on previous models. The front aperture blades and door are also finished in grey, and there’s new body-coloured door finishers and rear diffuser. For the first time two metallic satin paint colours will be options.
Buyers also have the option of a contrast panoramic roof, with a black finish to the rear section – as opposed to the body-coloured panel offered until now – an option for the first time.
The specification line-up for the BMW iX3 rival has been refined with four trim levels: R-Dynamic S, R-Dynamic SE Black, R-Dynamic HSE Black and the new 400 Sport, a UK-only ‘halo’ trim. A Black Pack is standard on all but the entry level trim.
The new 400 Sport trim features a new boot spoiler and adaptive air suspension. Inside, it includes slimline performance seats, Windsor leather and 14-way adjustable heated and cooler driver seats.
The I-Pace retains the same battery and powertrain set-up as before, with a 90kWh battery and twin electric motors that combine to offer 294kW. The machine has an official range of 292 miles.
Pricing for the revised I-Pace starts from £69,995 for the R-Dynamic S, with the 400 Sport version priced from £79,995.
