I was asked by a fellow member to compare my I Pace to my Lucid.
The Jag is a 2019 HSE with EVERY available option that I bought off the lot in 2018 for about $92k. They have gone down in price about $10k since. Other than Tesla, which I didn't want, the only other available SUV EV at the time was the eTron. I test drove that as well but it was way too slow and lumber-y for me. The I Pace is 400hp, dual motor (they all are), 5 seater. 0-60 is about 4.5s. We love both cars, Jag is my wife's.
As far as repairs, the Jag stranded me (needed flatbed) when its 12V battery died in 2020 had a new front motor at 38k due to severe vibrations in the old one.
Where the I Pace beats the Lucid:

Where the I Pace beats the Lucid:
- BIGGEST ITEM FOR MY WIFE: she dislikes the whole regen and one-pedal driving thing. Jaguar has that, but also has an option that makes it feel exactly like an ICE car but when you hit the brakes you're actually creating regeneration. As far as I know Lucid does not do this. Zero brake pad wear at 30k when I got new tires.
- Heads up display which is highly configurable
- physical seat/mirror memory buttons on both seats
- SiriusXM
- no front motor whine
- easier to park, etc. Can easily move within inches of anything, the Lucid scares me
- heat pump for heater makes lots of heat right away (although not a big deal here in San Diego)
- much more info about the EV (stats, etc.) available to view
- much more customization of the instrument panel
- air suspension - good for raising and lowering; less complaint over bumps than the Lucid
- CarPlay (now wireless but mine is not)
- rear view mirror screen/camera (standard now but not in 2019)
- key fob with real buttons
- real buttons on the door handles (all 4!) to lock/unlock
- 5 year warranty
- all maintenance included in the warranty period
- we actually have a service center in San Diego... that said, Jags and Land Rover products are notoriously unreliable and they are always overburdened.
- RANGE - Jag is 220 max although advertised at 292
- efficiency - Jag lifetime 2.5 M/kWh. I get 3.0 in the Lucid.
- acceleration, especially in the mid range
- charging speed is much faster
- much quieter other than the motor whine
- handles like a sports car
- smoother ride
- Highway assist (Jag has radar cruise but it sucks.)
- infotainment is MUCH faster (this was a problem for early I Pace models but the entire system has been replaced with a better one after 2021)
- 3D overhead display
- better looking (subjective)
- Mobile Key (Jag has an app but requires a fob or silly activity key bracelet)
- OTA (Jaguar has this but some require a dealer visit)
- rear seat room BY FAR, width and legroom both
- frunk is WAY bigger
- seats are much more comfortable
- interior is more modern looking (Jag is like every other Jag with lots off stuff going on)
- sunshades
- soft close doors
- we have Frank in San Diego but the amount of cars has grown a lot and we need a service center yesterday!
- sound system
- fit and finish
- full glass roof (although Jag has separate panels for windshield and top)
