Audi e-Tron Vs Jaguar I-Pace - Which EV SUV Would You Have In Your Driveway?

You might have expected premium brands like Audi to have led the charge with electric-vehicle development, but the German firm has taken a surprisingly long time to launch an all-electric product.

Now Audi has turned the taps on, though, and it’s here with its first full EV: the e-tron. This SUV costs just over £70,000 even after the £3,500 Government grant has been deducted – but then, you do get a considerable amount of technology for that premium price tag.

Even though upmarket electric SUVs are still few and far between, that price point and the Audi’s 95kWh battery put it in a small but select group that our reigning Car of the Year, the Jaguar I-Pace, currently sits at the top of.

Not ready to trust Jaguar quality with my hard earned dollars...don't know if I'll ever be.

If those are the only two choices, then the Audi. I too am not ready to trust Jaguar reliability.

I am a big Audi fan and have owned/own several. I was excited about the e-tron but when I saw it in person, I didn't even want to drive it.

Audi...definitely the quality choice of the two. The Jaguar looks like a nasty little hatchback.

They both look 15 years old.

And from surveying people who driven both, they're equally disappointing.

Relative to the Tesla Model X everything is disappointing, however these are the first EV attempts for both firms. They will get better, technology evolves rapidly, and they don’t have a choice really

So far I have seen 0 of either in Silicon Valley where every other car is an EV... both have lame stats. I think I would go with the Jag between the two.

I’ve seen both in NoVA (home of Audi NA HQ). The e-tron is as unremarkable as an Audi can be. The I-Pace has character, is unique in appearance, even among its fossil E and F-Pace siblings.

Damn, I really want to see one. A coworker is getting an eTron in December, will be interesting to test that car out.
