Jaguar continues the development of the E-Pace, it slot right under the F-Pace and tackle rivals like the Audi
Q3, Mercedes GLA and BMW X1.
The new baby Jag SUV will be based on the same steel
underpinnings with the Land Rover Discovery Sport and will reportedly be
produced at the same plant with its related model.
The design choices Jaguar made for the E-Pace will
not surprise anyone as the company will stick to the successful recipe of the
bigger F-Pace, meaning flowing body lines, a sloping roofline and Jaguar’s
familiar front grille.
Despite the heavy camouflage that includes not only
a swirling wrap but also fake bulges under it, the general shape of the
upcoming E-Pace looks rather promising and better-proportioned than its big
brother.
The engine range will include the four-cylinder
petrol and diesel units from JLR’s Ingenium family. There is also the strong
possibility for the E-Pace to get the same hybrid powertrain JLR is planning to
offer in the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
The cabin will host the latest InControl Touch Pro
infotainment system with its crisp display and strong processing power, in
order to successfully challenge the German rivals not just in terms of design
and quality but in on-board technology as well.
Jaguar will reportedly reveal the new E-Pace in
early summer, following the official debut of the Range Rover Coupe at the
Geneva Motor Show.
