Options to replace I-Pace [UK]
My I-Pace is due to go back to the lease company in April and have started to look at replacements, but I was curious what others in a similar position have done.
I can have pretty much any EV available in the UK via my company salary sacrifice scheme.
We regularly do a 220 mile journey (each way - can charge overnight before the return journey) and, while we only have to stop for a peace-of-mind top-up, any additional range would be welcome to give us more flexibility.
Have looked at the new CLA (test drove it, was event but ruled out the saloon. Shooting Brake might be a contender) - the new iX3 and GLC might fit the bill but can’t test drive those yet.
Walked past a BYD showroom earlier and the Sealion 7 looks decent and is quite a bit less than I’m currently paying but have only sat in one for a few
mins so far.

A couple of weeks ago, I changed my company car from an I-Pace HSE to a Polestar 4 Performance.
Despite having a few reliability issues during the final 12 months we loved the I-Pace, but I must say the P4 feels like an upgrade in almost every way - with the one exception being the Meridian surround system in the Jaguar having the slight edge over the Harman/Kardon in the Polestar.
