The

2019 Jaguar I-Pace

will come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, and the connectivity feature comes as a roughly $300 option on select and appropriately equipped 2019

Jaguar

and

Land Rover

models, the joint automaker said.

It comes via Jaguar

Land Rover’s

Smartphone Pack, which is available on all 2019 and future models, but with conditions. The car in question must have the 10-inch InControl Touch Pro touchscreen or split-touchscreen Touch Pro Duo infotainment systems, plus navigation, InControl Apps and Wi-Fi connectivity. Those are included on some upper trim levels and available as separate options on others. So basically, depending on trim level, you could be looking at a simple $300 add or a long-line of other extra charges just to get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

There are other new features coming for the InControl Touch Pro system as well, including voice command for navigation, major graphic refreshes for certain screens, new shortcut buttons on the home screen for key navigation, media and phone functions, and changes to the user experience in the media screen.

Jaguar

and Land Rover first introduced the InControl Touch Pro for 2016, enabling users to learn whether they have enough fuel or battery range to get to a searched-for destination and share their destination, current location and ETA with others via email or text message when using the on-board nav system.

The Touch Pro Duo first debuted on the 2018

Range Rover Velar

and will be standard on the 2019 I-Pace electric

crossover

, plus the

Range Rover

and

Range Rover Sport

. It features interlinked dual upper and lower touchscreens.

In terms of the trim level availability mentioned earlier, a JLR spokesperson tells us that Smartphone Pack is available on all

2019 Jaguar F-Pace

trim levels. It is available separately starting with the F-Pace Prestige trim level, but on the base F-Pace and Premium versions, you have to also get the optional Connect Pro Pack, Navigation Pro Pack, and traffic sign recognition and adaptive speed-limiter pack. Yes, it is a bit complicated.

JLR recently released a touchscreen infotainment system

designed to blend in with vintage models

that retails for $1,796 before taxes.
