Jaguar E-Pace
Looks like Jaguar is already
developing a smaller crossover before the new F-Pace officially hits the
market.
The camouflaged prototype
looks a lot like a Range Rover Evoque, but that is just a trick to cover up the
development of the "baby" SUV.
Look closely and you’ll
notice a slightly longer wheelbase and wider tracks. Our spies actually checked
the plates with the UK authorities, only to find out that the vehicle in
question is indeed registered as a Jaguar.
JLR is known to use mules as
they did exactly the same with the F-Pace because it allows them to test the
chassis, engine, cooling and more before risking revealing any of the new
model’s design. Speaking of which, we expect Jaguar to keep things familiar as
they did with the rest of their range, with the E-Pace styled in the same
language with the bigger F-Pace.
Using an Evoque could also
mean that Jaguar’s new crossover will share the same platform with the popular
Range Rover instead of a scaled down version of the F-Pace aluminum
underpinning.
The compact Jaguar crossover
will be revealed in late 2017, with the market launch expected in 2018.
