As above, but my second choice would be the Polestar followed by the Fisker. I'd need a bit more time for Fisker to prove themselves though.
What comes next?
Our I-PACE is now 2 years old (well it will be in a few weeks). We have it on a 3 year lease so that means it's only a year before it goes back. Due to the current lead times for ordering some new vehicles (in excess of 12 months in some cases) we are starting to think about the I-PACE's replacement. Requirements:
![🤣]()
So what's out there that I haven't thought of? The Taycan/eTron GT were on my radar, but with recent price rises, even the base models are a little pricey now. We are going to have a look at the BMW i4 but with a front end only a mother could love, I'm not sure that's a winner. With no changes to the I-PACE coming - and MY23 cars being more expensive with less spec than our MY21 we won't be getting a new one, it'll be 2025 before we see the all-new I-PACE. That said, if we can't find a suitable replacement, I may look to extend the lease for our current I-PACE for another year as hopefully 2025, Jaguar will let us all know what's going on with their next model (won't hold my breath).
Others cars I've seen mentioned:
Fisker Ocean - Looks kinda big - unknown brand in the UK really - What will aftersales be Like
Genesis GV60 - Same as the Fisker - unknown aftersales
Mercedes EQE (Non-SUV) - could be pricey like the Etron/Taycan
Lotus Eletre - Same as the Merc above
Polestar 2 - We very nearly ordered one before the I-PACE. I like them, but not we have already chosen the I-PACE over it so it would feel like a backwards step.
Polestar 3 - Another SUV
Audi A6 e-Tron Avant - a style I would love, but again, prices will be high.
So far, the winning idea is extend the lease on our current car.
- £800 plus VAT budget
- 3 year/15k per year business lease
- No Teslas (don't like them, their business practices, etc.)
- No Hyundai/Kia (current models are ugly IMO, interior quality is lacking) and big
- No big SUV (yes, I know the I-PACE is technically and SUV)

All down hill since the Model S. The quality might be improving but the designs certainly aren’t.Not exactly a 'looker' is it.
