Although it is lower, the I-Pace’s 117.7-inch wheelbase and 184.3-inch overall length are similar to those of the F-Pace, while the cabin is said to be as spacious as those in vehicles a size up. With no need to accommodate one of those old-fashioned gasoline engines, the base of the windshield has been pushed forward to maximize cabin space, although like many EVs the I-Pace sticks to the familiar form language of internal-combustion cars. Behind the grille there’s a radiator for the liquid-coolant system that, with flow controlled by a pump, regulates the temperature of the battery pack. The grille also directs airflow through the hood scoop to reduce drag, and active vanes in the grille and front bumper can close to further improve aerodynamics when cooling for the battery and climate-control system isn’t needed. Slipperiness also is helped by other details, including power-deployed door handles that stow seamlessly when the car is on the move, similar to those fitted to the Range Rover Velar.
