Jaguar I-Pace vs Tesla Model S

Performance

While it produces fewer horsepower than the Tesla Model S, the Jaguar I-Pace generates 125 more pound-feet of torque. The SUV may also be a better vehicle for driving in the city because of its smaller dimensions. It is 11.7 inches shorter and 2.7 inches narrower than the Model S, making it easier to maneuver in tight quarters. Its maneuverability is further enhanced by its tight curb-to-curb turning diameter, which is 1.4 inches shorter than its rival's Despite its smaller size, the Jaguar I-Pace's wheelbase is 1.2 inches longer than the Tesla's, contributing to a more stable ride.

Safety & Security

Both the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace and 2018 Tesla Model S are fitted with a variety of airbags, electronic stability systems, traction control, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, and a long list of driver-assistance technologies. However, the Jaguar has a number of safety features that are either absent or cost extra in the Tesla. First, it comes standard with lane-keeping assistance, which automatically steers you back into your lane when you start to drift out of it. This feature is optional in the Model S.

In addition, the Jaguar I-Pace is equipped with a rear cross-traffic warning system, which uses wide-angle radar to detect and alert you to vehicles and pedestrians crossing your path while you are backing up. It also has a driver alert monitoring system that sounds a warning when it detects drowsiness or inattentiveness in the driver. Another notable safety feature you will find in the Jaguar is the clear exit monitor. This system warns back-seat passengers of approaching vehicles or cyclists before they open the rear doors. The Tesla Model S does not offer these features.
