The cat is finally out of the bag as Jaguar Land Rover launched the all-electric I-Pace in India starting from INR 10,600,000, ex-showroom India. It will be the second luxury electric SUV in India after Mercedes-Benz EQC. Jaguar had earlier opened the bookings of I-Pace in November 2020.

At the launch, Rohit Suri, President and Managing Director, Jaguar Land Rover India Ltd (JLRIL), said, “Jaguar I-Pace is the first all-electric SUV that we’ve launched in India and it marks the beginning of our electrification journey. With our electrified products, we look forward to playing a significant role in India’s electrification drive into the future.” He further stated, “Jaguar I-Pace will appeal to people who look for and purchase the latest in technology and design to express their personalities and stay ahead of the curve. We and our retailer network are fully prepared to cater to the demands of these customers.”

I-Pace variants:

The new Jaguar electric SUV is available in three trims—the S at INR 10,600,000, SE from INR 10,800,000 and the fully-loaded HSE, which starts at INR 11,200,000. All three come standard with 19-inch dual-coloured diamond-cut alloy wheels. The entry-level S variant sports all-LED headlamps, powered tailgate, smartphone-like designed 10-inch Pivo Pro infotainment system’s interface with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 400W music system with 12 speakers and a subwoofer, 5.5-inch climate control touchscreen unit, cruise control, 3D surround camera, ‘InControl’ car connectivity technology and much more.

The SE offers additional features like leather upholstery, premium LED headlights with prominent DRLs and heated outside rearview mirrors that fold electrically and come with approach lights.

The feature list continues to increase with the top-of-the-line HSE as it’s packed with ‘Matrix’ LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, a heads-up display, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, premium Windsor leather upholstery, an 825W Meridian 3D sound system with 16 speakers and 16-way heated and cooled front electric powered seats with memory function.

The goodies don’t end here as there’s an array of optional features as well like adaptive air suspension, four-zone climate control, an ionising air purifier with PM2.5 filtration etc.

Electric power:

The I-Pace is powered by two electric motors that offer a whopping combined output of 296 kW (394 bhp) and 696 Nm of torque. As impressive as it’s on paper, the electric SUV can do 0-100 kmph in just 4.8 seconds.

The I-Pace comes with a 90 kWh battery that offers a range of WLTP-certified 470 km on a single charge. The Jaguar SUV comes standard with a Home Charging Cable for a 7.4 kW AC wall-mounted charger, but it takes over 10 hours to fully charge the battery. According to Jaguar, the I-Pace can also be quick-charged with a 50 kW charger that offers a range of 270km per hour and a 100kW charger that delivers around 127km range in just 15 minutes.

To ensure complete peace of mind, Jaguar provides a complimentary 5-year service package, 5-year roadside assistance package, 8-year or 160,000 km battery warranty and a 7.4 kW AC wall-mounted charger.

The installation of home charging stations will be done by Tata Power Ltd and will be coordinated via Jaguar retailers. I-Pace owners will also have access to Tata Power’s EZ Charge network, which currently offers around 200 I-Pace compatible charging points on a use and pay basis. Apart from this, Jaguar has also set up over 35 EV chargers installed at its 22 retail outlets across 19 cities. These chargers are a combination of 7.4 kW AC chargers and 25 kW DC (fast) chargers.

In terms of competition, the I-Pace, at the moment, only has to face the Mercedes-Benz EQC, but the Audi-e-tron could enter the Indian market this financial and let’s not forget that Tesla is setting its shop here as well. (MT)

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) has launched the Nexon CAMO, a new special edition of its popular compact SUV, with prices beginning at INR 999,000 ex-showroom in Delhi. The introduction coincides with the brand’s celebration of a decade since the Nexon’s original debut and the trust of over 1.1 million customers, marking the model’s enduring success in the Indian automotive market.

The new CAMO variant distinguishes itself with two exclusive premium paint schemes, named Munnar Mist and Coorg Cloud. The former is a dynamic dark green that shifts to a sophisticated grey in shadows and reveals rich green and golden tones under sunlight. In contrast, the latter is a contemporary grey-silver finish with subtle metallic highlights, designed to offer an understated yet premium aesthetic that complements the SUV's rugged character.

TMPV has equipped the Nexon CAMO with a significant technology upgrade, headlined by an Ultra View Twin HD Digital Cockpit. This features a 31.24-cm infotainment system and a 26.03-cm digital instrument cluster, both from Harman, with the latter including embedded navigation. The technology package is further enhanced by an integrated dashcam recorder that is part of the 360-degree camera surround view system, which also includes a blind spot view monitor.

The special edition is not solely about aesthetics and screens, as it also incorporates a comprehensive suite of comfort and safety features. The cabin includes ventilated leatherette front seats, a voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, and an immersive nine-speaker JBL audio system with a subwoofer. Safety is addressed through seven Advanced Driver Assistance Systems functions calibrated for Indian roads, six airbags and electronic stability control, ensuring the CAMO is as secure as it is stylish.

Maintaining the Nexon’s hallmark versatility, the CAMO is offered across all three powertrain options: a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel and the segment-exclusive 1.2-litre turbocharged iCNG with twin-cylinder technology. With multiple transmission choices available, the automaker has positioned the Nexon CAMO as a distinctive and aspirational package for a wide range of SUV buyers, reinforcing the model's legacy of innovation as the festive season approaches.

Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said, "Since its launch a decade ago, the Nexon has provided comfortable, safe and enjoyable journeys for over 1.1 million families, becoming one of India's most iconic nameplates with an unmissable presence on the roads. This success has been built on constantly raising the bar in safety, technology and design while keeping these innovations accessible to a wider set of customers. The Nexon CAMO carries that spirit forward, with two striking new colours and an elevated technology package that makes it the most distinctive Nexon yet. Timed perfectly for the festive season, it gives customers an even stronger reason to make the Nexon their own."

Japanese automotive company Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has shared an update regarding its upcoming new Pajero SUV launch scheduled for premiere this autumn.

The automaker confirmed that the vehicle combines off-road driving capabilities across weather and road conditions with on-road ride refinement.

The SUV utilises a ladder frame chassis paired with a re-engineered suspension system designed to maintain road-holding performance over uneven surfaces, bumps and terrain impacts. The setup aims to reduce body movement and cabin vibration to support occupant comfort during long-distance driving.

Handling and drive distribution are managed by Mitsubishi Motors' Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) technology. The integrated vehicle dynamics control system manages power output and braking to optimise stability and traction across driving conditions.
