PRACTICAL MOTORING SAYS: The pure-electric I-Pace's cabin is wonderfully silent and roomy, and the drive uncannily smooth yet quick. It's a crossover, but with 4WD more for the purpose of traction than off-roading – there's colossal torque available from a standstill. Never mind it's a first effort, it feels very highly developed. Wish we could say the same of the infrastructure – make sure you can find charging spots for the journeys you'll undertake. 91.67%
