Lots of people have asked me why the Jaguar I-Pace is now officially the best car in the world (this is no namby-pamby claim; it’s the 2019 World Car of the Year). Interestingly enough, all the people who have asked me the question have never driven the vehicle (once you’ve driven it, you’re sold).
