Was going to enter into a contract and order a I pace but alas its on hold you may ask why answer is I thought the I pace was built in the uk seeing as its in Austria then its out of the question it will look like a leaf 64k when it comes out.

Interesting. Wonder if that's likely to be J-Pace. Must say though that my real preference would be something a bit smaller, eg H-Pace. Hyundai have managed to put a 64kWh battery in a Kona, so that sort of size but 4WD / twin motors and more of a premium finish would be great.SammyD said:There are rumours that JLR is setting up an EV line in Solihull for late 2019.
Jaguar have shown no interest in ever building small cars like the Kona and they will have their work cut out developing EV versions of the XJ, XK/F-Type, not to mention the E-Pace, XF and XE. Where they build the cars will depend upon Brexit and where the market is but they have said that they plan to develop the Birmingham and Solihull plants to produce EV's.johnd said:Interesting.

[Apologies for the thread drift!]
Sorry, I wrote that without actually checking the Kona dimensions - it's shorter than I thought (not seen one in the flesh as yet). I was thinking more E-Pace size (eg 4.4m). So there'd be nothing revolutionary in JLR making the E-Pace equivalent of the I-Pace and including eg a 70kWh battery.Thincat said:Jaguar have shown no interest in ever building small cars like the Kona
Apart from the 10% price increase you mean? AFAIk, 10% is what WTO rules applies to all imports.DougTheMac said:I don't really want to use the B-word, but when we drop out of EU without a deal, will anyone but us notice?
