Jaguar had high hopes for the E-Pace, but that model
hasn’t exactly resonated with consumers. In the United States, the company
has only sold 3,716 units through October and will likely finish the year with
around 4,479 sales like 2018. That’s disappointing, but the situation is better
in Europe were 27,735 units were sold last year.
Putting the numbers aside, Jaguar is working on a
facelift that could address some early criticisms of the model. Snapped wearing
heavy camouflage, the updated crossover has revised headlights and what appears
to be a modified front bumper.
The minor changes continue out back as there are new
taillights with slimmer line accents. The bumper appears to carryover, but it
hard to tell underneath all that camouflage. Speaking of disguise, spy
photographers noticed some camouflage in the cabin. This suggests we can expect
a handful of interior updates.
While nothing is official, the model will likely
follow in the footsteps of the facelifted XE. As a result, the crossover could have a new steering wheel, a 12.3-inch
digital instrument cluster and a Touch Pro Duo infotainment system.
Other updates could include revised switchgear,
higher quality materials and a new shifter. That’s all just speculation at this
point, but Jaguar hasn’t been shy about their plans to improve interior
quality. Engine options remain unconfirmed, but it’s possible the E-Pace could
adopt a handful of new options including mild-hybrid powertrains with up to 286
hp.
