You can save a packet on either of these electric cars by buying used. Which would you go for? ⚡️🤔
of the same age and similar price to find out. It's set to be a tough one, because the I-Pace is a champion of luxury, and the EV400 variant featured here has more power than the Model S 75d it faces.DrivingWith a motor driving each axle, making them four-wheel drive, both cars deliver neck-snappingly impressive acceleration from a standing start. Despite having a power advantage , the I-Pace is just pipped by the Model S to 60mph, although it begins to claw back some ground above 50mph.
The difference in handling is more obvious. The Model S has light but accurate steering that makes stringing together a series of sweeping corners effortless and even quite enjoyable, and the car always shifts its not-inconsiderable weight in a composed and measured manner. The I-Pace handles tidily, too. Its steering is sharper and heavier, giving the impression that it’s the sportier car at low speeds. However, it's also taller and narrower than the Model S, and suffers more body lean in faster corners and feels more reluctant to change direction in the first place. The I-Pace runs out of grip earlier as well, although both offer brilliant traction out of corners.
Both cars are very comfortable, although around town you feel more of bumps in the Model S due to its firmer air suspension. Above about 40mph, though, it actually feels more settled than the I-Pace, which tends to fidget around a little more. Engine noise, meanwhile, is almost entirely absent in both, but the Model S is quieter on the whole.
The I-Pace’s brake pedal is far from ideal. There’s quite a bit of travel before anything happens, and then the pedal suddenly becomes sensitive. The response also changes as the regenerative brakes try to harvest energy to top up the battery, so you never really get used to it. In the Model S, it’s easier to brake smoothly, because the pressure you put on the pedal feels more closely matched to how quickly you stop.
