Jaguar partnered with COP26 to provide a fleet of electrified vehicles to world leaders and delegates attending the summit to deliver zero-emission transport at the event.
The I-Pace won three awards including the World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car in 2019.
The vehicle retails for about Sh10 million excluding taxes and import fees.
