Have you experienced any faults with the car? If so, what have they been?
The 12v battery went flat which takes out the whole car. Interesting, charging the drive battery also charges the 12v battery. The fault was fixed by Jaguar assist within 2 hour on my drive.
What are the standout technological features of the car?
It’s really well equipped. The adaptive cruise control and lane assist make long journeys on the motorways easy, getting to my destination feeling quite refreshed. In winter, the preconditioning of the car in the morning and heating the car before I get in it to go home is fab!
