1.5L Ingenium I3 PHEV - P300e AWD (227kW Combined)
Hybrid
While driving, transition between EV-only and Hybrid modes to ensure the 1.5L engine engages smoothly without significant hesitation or vibration, as refined integration is key to the P300e experience.
Check this by cycling through the Pivi Pro infotainment menus and navigation while the vehicle is active to verify that the software responds quickly and has been updated to the latest version to avoid common lag issues.
During the test drive on varied NZ road surfaces, listen for any subtle knocks or creaks from the suspension, as the additional weight of the PHEV battery can mean components like bushes might eventually need consideration.
While the car is stationary, plug and unplug the Type 2 charging cable several times to ensure the locking pin engages and releases cleanly, as debris or wear can sometimes affect the connection process.
Initial service including oil and filter for the 1.5L Ingenium engine and a general diagnostic health check of the PHEV system.
Comprehensive inspection of the braking system, considering that regenerative braking patterns can sometimes lead to different wear profiles on the rotors.
Replacement of the engine air filter and a detailed inspection of the high-voltage cooling system to ensure the battery remains at optimal operating temperatures.
Major service milestone where it's common to consider a deep-dive battery health report and a refresh of the spark plugs for the 3-cylinder petrol unit.
Verify the status of the Pivi Pro 'Over-The-Air' (OTA) software updates to ensure all system patches are current.
Check the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery, which supports the vehicle's electronic systems even in a PHEV.
Inspect the charging cable and the vehicle's charging port for any signs of heat discoloration or physical wear.
Monitor tyre tread depth regularly, as the 227kW combined power and AWD system can lead to faster wear on premium rubber.
Confirm the service history shows the correct Jaguar-spec low-viscosity oil has been used to protect the Ingenium turbocharger.
Estimated repair costs if issues arise
Because the E-PACE is a performance-oriented PHEV with significant torque, you might eventually need to budget for high-load-rated tyres to maintain the handling and safety standards expected of a Jaguar.
The P300e uses a sophisticated cooling circuit for the battery and inverter; if this specialized fluid needs a flush and refresh in the future, the estimated cost in NZ for labor and materials is typically in this range.
Depending on the car's history and how much the previous owner relied on regenerative braking versus physical braking, you might eventually need to budget for high-specification Jaguar-approved rotors.
