I won't lie. I'm excited for a future containing alternative-fuel vehicles – whether they're electric or hydrogen powered... Or even powered by hot air. For too long now, Tesla has dominated the luxury EV market, leaving entry-level EVs to other brands. Makes sense, given how trendy it has now become to get on the EV bandwagon...

Jaguar Australia has announced the I-Pace electric SUV will be backed by a five-year/200,000km warranty Down Under when it arrives in local showrooms in November, bolstered by extended servicing and roadside assistance programs.

Internal combustion or electric power – which is quicker? Tesla has highlighted how hard electric vehicles can accelerate, but Jaguar has taken a slightly different approach with the I-Pace, shying away from bonkers 0-100km/h times. For now, anyway.

Developing a new car from nothing to first customer delivery in just four years is no mean feat, let alone doing this with a brand-new platform and brand-new technology.
