But in truth, for that kind of money, I'd be more likely to buy the I-Pace.
Went to see the I-Pace. A few issues for me. Its lower, which makes the boot space and opening not work for me.
Interior. Wasn't very impressed with the quality of the interior. It's nice but not 80k nice. Demo car probably had a lot of people poking about in it but nevertheless I was more impressed by the F-Pace sat next to it.
However the clincher was when it was explained that the 300 mile range is "halved" when travelling at motorway plus speeds. So my 300 mile weekend round trip I do a lot means it has to be charged at each end.
Given the infrastructure issues, its a non starter. If you went on the chunnel you would have to charge as you got near the train. As there are a limited number of chargers at the services, you may have to wait for a bay. This makes planning impossible.
Basically, its a great car for a 20 mile commute that you can recharge once a week at work or home. For travelling any distance and as a SUV, it falls short.
Add to this that the SVR is around the same price and probably the last hurrah for a V8, for me its a no brainer. SVR all the way.
Its a nice car though, just not for "me", yet.
