That's a major design failure IMO.Mark_T said:There is no provision for a spare wheel other than in the rear load area on top of the load floor.
A serious black mark against I-Pace. Fortunately most VW group models somehow still manage to include one.It has been more than ten years since I last had a car with a spare wheel of any kind and I've never wished I'd had one in all that time.
This is not completely true. If you secify a spare wheel as factory fit option it is fitted under a raised boot floor (unless air suspension fitted, in which case cannot)Mark_T said:There is no provision for a spare wheel other than in the rear load area on top of the load floor.
Most car manufactures don't give a spare wheel these days. The cost savings plus weight savings for better fuel economy means only a few companies give it as standard. My F-Pace the space saver spare was a £900 upgrade - personally I should have not got it and instead got the Blind Spot Monitors.johnd said:A serious black mark against I-Pace.

. . . this must be a typo, 'cos when I configured mine about two years ago now, it was a £150 option to add the spacesaver spare . . . even now, it is quoted at £160, so how do you calculate it was a £900 upgrade? Even the full-size spare to match your alloys would still only be £370 . . . a good value option!Gdank said:My F-Pace the space saver spare was a £900 upgrade

The spare wheel is quite a divisive issue in several senses. AFAICR most VW group models (and that covers many different models) DO still offer the option of a spare. Other marques like BMW typically don't.Gdank said:Most car manufactures don't give a spare wheel these days.
