You are someone who enjoy style and convenience in pretty much every facet of your life, but you also might be someone who is conscious about the environment around them. You want something with a lot of sophistication and class to compliment your lifestyle, but also something which can help reduce your own carbon footprint and save money where you can. Well, we here at Jaguar Glen Cove believe there is a way you can have it all which is why we offer an all-electric hatchback SUV for conscientious drivers such as yourself: the all-new Jaguar I-PACE. Its powertrain is commuter friendly, and its style, versatility, and technology put it well above and beyond what a normal electric or hybrid car can offer you. So, let us take a look at how this all-electric hatchback SUV, for sale or lease in Glen Cove NY, fares against another well-known competitor of its class: the Tesla Model X.
Jaguar I-PACE vs Tesla Model X
While the Tesla brand is known for its innovative models, they tend to only be marketed towards a smaller minority of folks due to their high-pricing and relative inaccessibility in certain areas of the country. However, accessibility throughout Long Island is just one of the many areas in which this electric hatchback SUV falls short over its counterpart in the Jaguar brand.
- Let us begin at their electric powertrains: these models are fairly equally matched in terms of their battery range, before requiring charges, the Jaguar I-Pace generates considerably more torque upon acceleration, which aids the all-wheel drive system in turn. This hatchback SUV also offers a bit more horsepower, making for a fun-filled and eco-conscious commute.
- In terms of technological conveniences, you will find that the Jaguar I-PACE offers considerably more for a lot less than its competitor from Tesla. No matter which trim you choose, you will find features such as SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, cooled/ventilated front seating, adaptive cruise control, acoustic laminated glass, and a cabin pre-conditioning system, all come either standard or available. Most of these features have to be upgraded for an extra fee on the Tesla Model X, though some of them are wholly unavailable on the hatchback in general.
- No matter what your budget is, even if price is no object for you, you still deserve to save wherever you can on your next electric hatchback, which is why the Jaguar I-PACE is a fantastic choice for you. In addition to the numerous potential tax credits and incentives you can enjoy or driving such an efficiency car, the Jaguar I-PACE begins at a more comfortable starting price of $70,495. Whereas the Tesla Model X begins at a starting price of $80,700, la difference of over $10,000.
- In addition to its lower starting price, the Jaguar I-PACE comes backed by several warranties from the jaguar brand which protect your investment for a longer duration than those of the Tesla Model X. There is the five year/60,000-mile (whichever occurs first) Jaguar EliteCare warranty; the five-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty; and five years or 60,000 miles of emergency roadside assistance coverage. Meanwhile the basic warranty of the Tesla Model X lasts for four years or 50,000 miles, as does the roadside assistance coverage provided by Tesla. Meanwhile, the Tesla brand does not issue a powertrain warranty to proactively cover engine and other related powertrain components.
- Finally, there is the curb weight of the two vehicles as they exist; curb weight is often a determining factor in the amount of fuel a gasoline or hybrid engine consumes. However, the more lightweight vehicle will often be the one which consumes less battery power in the long run, which is why the Jaguar I-PACE weighs in at 4,784 pounds, which is why its dual electric motor system can travel further distances before a charge is required. The Tesla Model X weighs in at 5,307 pounds, meaning that this hatchback SUV weighs over 500 pounds more than the Jaguar I-PACE.
