The Ipace is a tragedy. Looks nice..but the quality is very low. After 30000km I changed the charger, I changed the heater..aprox 8000 euro cost. Not recomend in any eay. Avoid it!

A fantastic model with true SUV character. Noticeably more space, generous luggage capacity and a high driving position — just like an SUV — and, best of all, finally a petrol engine (instead of the diesels the competition offers), which is a great alternative. LPG installation is possible, too.
