From the pronounced front wheel arches to the rear diffuser, every supercar-inspired styling element allows the I-PACE to slice cleanly through the air for improved range and stability. The bold grille curves inwards - reducing drag by channelling air through the hood scoop and out, where it passes over the roofline that is curved for optimum efficiency. To experience the I-PACE for yourself, visit Jaguar Land Rover Las Vegas for a test drive today. 5 YEARS 60, 000 MILES New Vehicle Limited Warranty Complimentary Scheduled Maintenance 24-Hour Roadside Assistance Jaguar InControl® Remote & Protect™ BEST IN CLASS COVERAGE* Jaguar Land Rover Las Vegas Jaguar Land Rover Reno 5255 W.
