The Jaguar F-Pace has been a tremendous success and
the automaker has just confirmed plans for a follow-up. Set to arrive in the
United States early next year, the Jaguar E-Pace promises to combine
"sports car design and agility with every-day compact SUV
practicality."
The company is keeping details under wraps but the
teaser image suggests the model will have a sporty front fascia which is
heavily inspired by the F-Type. Moving further back, we can see front fender
vents, a compact greenhouse, and a tailgate-mounted spoiler.
Technical specifications remain unconfirmed but
Jaguar revealed the crossover will be powered by Ingenium engines and come
standard with all-wheel drive (in the United States). According to Jaguar
Design Director Ian Callum, “The combination of sports car looks with Jaguar
performance will ensure that the E-Pace stands out. Every Jaguar is designed to
excite the senses, and we think E-Pace will do just that, albeit with its own
individual character.”
The Jaguar E-Pace will be unveiled on July 13th and
U.S. pricing will start at US$ 38,600. The latter figures means the entry-level
crossover will undercut the F-Pace by US$ 3,465. In the United Kingdom, the E-Pace
will cost £ 28,500 and it will be offered with both petrol and diesel engines.
