Dear Friends 

I am thinking to change my current xf 2011 2.2d and i hope that you can help me the choices that I have are full electric i pace 2019 or xf 20d 2018 i would like your opinion and any help could be appreciated thank you

2.2 for me ,quality over tech

Personally I replaced my 2013 2,2 XF Sportbrake with an MB GLC 220D as the aircon would have cost around £2000 to fix (£30 TX valve, rest for labour!). I would have preferred to go for the newer XF sportbrake but was put off by the Ingenium engines which have a woeful reputation. The I pace does appeal to me, particularly if you are not bothered by depreciation as they are now available for a fraction of the "new" price although I am still nervous about EV battery longevity and "range anxiety".

completetly different cars...EV vs diesel - personally would go for xf 3.0d...much more refined than 2.0.

depending what year make we talking about in terms of 2.0 ingenium diesel. after 2019 there were design changes to it and they are more reliable than in 2016-2018 models

Finally i got a Jaguar XE 25t 2019 with 45000 miles I found that the ingenium diesel has a lot of issues (with more critical the tensioners and the timing chain) and the same engine in petrol is better

You are right about the battery I found further information as well that the first models of i pace have alot of issues with the charging with the fast chargers in some cases even the plug doesn't fit.

I bought a petrol 2019 XE 25t with 45000

Miles I hope that is a good choice thank you for your reply
