Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate reliability at 5.4/10 — below the segment average in our scoring.

The 8.0/10 performance score reflects a chassis and powertrain that punch above the segment norm — this is a ev you choose partly for the drive itself. Technology scores 8.9/10 — one of the stronger tech packages in the segment. Expect a responsive infotainment system, broad smartphone integration, and a solid suite of driver-assistance features.
Priced from $70,810–$87,468, 97 MPG, seating 5, the Jaguar I-PACE sits in the luxury tier of the ev market. The value score of 5.3/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding.
