It's been several years since I was in the XF but there is no question the I-Pace is a quieter car than my previous Hyundai EV. I would imagine it's on par with the XF for road noise but better overall without the engine noise on top.

I always thought I'd end up in a supercharged V8 XF one day. The I-Pace has similar acceleration but with EV quietness and low fuel costs (charging at home offpeak etc).
It's an utterly serene place to be.

Time will tell if I've got a good one or not but having 2 years warranty helps with that.

Range is a bit on the low side for such a large battery, but I don't need much day to day. Fully charged its 230 miles at the moment, I hear it's nearer 260 or more in the warmer months. Plenty enough for me without needing public charging.

I'm glad I bought it, despite the things you can read online about the I-Pace. Of course, many manufacturers have similar stories of woe, including Hyundai.
