Jaguar had high hopes for the E-Pace, but
that model hasn’t exactly resonated with consumers across the globe. In the
United States, the company only sold 4,782 units through 2019, a paltry
increase over 4,479 sales in 2018. That’s disappointing, but the situation is
better in Europe were 27,690 were delivered in 2019 versus 27,735 the previous
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 carry
over, but it’s 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, though don’t expect as many
changes as the XE sedan as the E-Pace already has Jaguar’s newest gear selector
and air-conditioning controls. As a result, the newest version of the crossover
will likely be limited to a new steering wheel, a 12.3-inch digital instrument
cluster and a Touch Pro Duo infotainment system.
Other updates could include some
additionally revised switchgear and higher quality materials. That’s all just
speculation at this point, but Jaguar hasn’t been shy about their plans to
improve interior quality. Engine offerings 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.
