Frequently asked questions

Which Jaguar I-PACE trims were sold?

Early I-PACE lineups used S, SE, and HSE trims, with a First Edition for the debut. Later U.S. lineups were reduced to one well-equipped HSE, and the final version was renamed R-Dynamic HSE.

What does EV400 mean in an I-PACE trim name?

EV400 identifies the shared electric performance setup, not a separate luxury level. S, SE, HSE, and First Edition examples with this badge use two electric motors, all-wheel drive, a 90-kWh battery, and 394 horsepower.

What is the difference between the I-PACE S and SE?

In the early lineup, the SE adds leather upholstery, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with steering assistance, and a 380-watt Meridian audio system. The S has synthetic leather and fewer driving aids, but both share the same electric performance.

What does the I-PACE HSE add over the SE?

In the early trim ladder, the HSE is the richer luxury step above the SE. HSE equipment includes more upscale seating and cabin appointments, stronger Meridian audio, and a broader set of comfort and driver-assistance features. Performance remains essentially the same.

What is the difference between HSE and R-Dynamic HSE?

The R-Dynamic HSE is the final version of the single-trim HSE formula. It adds dark exterior detailing, a smoother Atlas Grey grille treatment, a heated steering wheel, and an ebony suedecloth headliner. The dual-motor powertrain remains unchanged.

What makes the I-PACE First Edition different from the HSE?

The launch-only First Edition builds on the HSE with adaptive damping, a head-up display, four-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, a heated windshield, a suedecloth headliner, and additional leather trim.

Which I-PACE trim is the simplest choice?

The S is the simplest version in the early lineup. It still has the full 394-horsepower dual-motor system, all-wheel drive, dual-screen cabin, smartphone integration, and panoramic roof, but it skips some luxury and driver-assistance upgrades.

Which I-PACE trim balances comfort and equipment?

Among early examples, the SE is the middle-ground trim. It keeps the S model’s performance while adding leather, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot assistance, and Meridian audio without moving to the HSE’s fuller luxury specification.

Which I-PACE trim suits someone who wants the most equipment?

Look toward the HSE, R-Dynamic HSE, or launch-only First Edition. Later HSE models combine heated and cooled 16-way front seats, premium surround audio, a panoramic roof, and broad driver assistance. The First Edition adds distinctive launch-model extras.

Are the I-PACE trims different in power or speed?

Not meaningfully within the same era. The S, SE, HSE, and special versions share the 394-horsepower dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup. Trim differences are mainly upholstery, comfort, audio, styling, and driver-assistance equipment.

Which I-PACE trims have real leather seats?

In the early lineup, the S uses synthetic leather while the SE steps up to leather. HSE models have richer leather seating, with newer HSE versions using Windsor leather and heated and cooled front seats. The First Edition adds extended leather interior trim.

Which I-PACE trims have the stronger driver-assistance features?

The early S has parking assistance and sensors, while the SE adds adaptive cruise control and blind-spot assistance. HSE models generally carry the broadest set, including lane-keeping and steering assistance on newer examples.

Do all I-PACE trims have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

The regular S, SE, and HSE equipment described here includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Later single-trim HSE models use the newer Pivi Pro touchscreen system, and newer examples add wireless phone connection and a wireless charging pad.
