Jaguar is releasing its stunning Tesla rival in 2018 — here's a closer look at the SUV

• Jaguar is releasing its first fully-electric vehicle, the I-Pace, in 2018.
• The SUV is expected to start at $76,400.
• Audi and Mercedes are also releasing electric SUVs in the next two years.

Tesla’s Model X is about to get some competition in the electric SUV market, as Electrek reports that European customers just leaked the prices for Jaguar’s first fully-electric vehicle, the I-Pace. The vehicle is expected to start at $76,400 and, depending on the features you choose, could near $100,000. This would put the car in the same range as the Model X, which starts at $79,500.

Take a look at the I-Pace and its features — which include a massive panoramic sunroof and 12-inch touchscreen — below.

• Jaguar’s I-Pace looks very sleek for an SUV.
• The car has impressive specs, boasting 400 horsepower, 516 pound-feet of torque, and the ability to go from 0-60 mph in about four seconds.
• It can travel over 220 miles on one charge.
• In 90 minutes of charging, it can reach 80% of its battery capacity.
• And the battery can fully charge in a little over two hours.
• The car’s interior has features that are similar to other high-tech SUVs and sedans, including a 12-inch touchscreen to handle music and navigation.
• Transmission is controlled with buttons rather than a stick.
• A panoramic roof allows for significant amounts of natural light in the car.
• A digital display can show important information on the windshield.
• The car has five total seats.
• Since the I-Pace doesn’t have a combustion engine, its cabin is very spacious.
• The car is expected to arrive in the second half of 2018.
• But Jaguar isn’t the only company that wants to compete with Tesla for the electric SUV market.
• Audi plans to release its e-tron quattro in 2018 as well.
• And Mercedes will roll out its Generation EQ in 2019.
