Jaguar has officially unveiled its smallest SUV yet, the Jaguar E-PACE which is company’s first car which is to be produced outside of its home market. Inspired by company’s larger offering F-PACE, the new sports SUV gets headlamps and taillights similar to that model. The sports car pedigree is most visible in the steeply-raked roof profile, large rear spoiler and optional 21-inch alloy wheels. Short overhangs and long wheelbase to provide exuberance to the car.
The car is available in three different models – E-PACE, E-PACE R-Dynamic and the First Edition which will only be available for the first year of sales. Both the E-PACE and E-PACE R-Dynamic are available with S, SE and HSE specification packs and a choice of five powertrains, including three diesel and two petrol Ingenium engines. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium diesel powerplant is available in 150PS, 180PS and 240PS outputs, while the pair of 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol turbo units deliver 249PS or 300PS. All-wheel-drive E-PACE models come with a choice of Jaguar’s new Active Driveline AWD system allowing them to be driven like any rear-wheel-drive Jaguar.
Inside, the car gets Jaguar’s most advanced head-up display, a new 10-inch touch pro tablet along with Meridian premium sound system. Meanwhile non-traditionalists can opt to have their analogue instruments replaced with a digital screen – a 12.3-inch, fully-configurable TFT panel. The new SUV comes with four different roof options including a black, fixed panoramic roof that creates a lighter, more airy feel to the cabin.
From the safety perspective, the E-PACE comes with six airbags, all-surface progress control and autonomous emergency braking.
The car is available in three colours - Caldera Red, which is unique to the First Edition, Yulong White and Santorini Black.
When it goes on sale in early 2018, the base E-Pace will cost $38,600.
