LUXURY REVIEW
2018 Jaguar E-Pace
As the first compact SUV from Jaguar, the 2018 E-Pace has a lot to live up to. Without sacrificing the style and sex appeal of the polished British manufacturer, the E-Pace makes a name for itself by maximizing space and luxury in an SUV focused on performance and agility.
Starting at just $38,600, the E-Pace makes a name for itself with a beautifully refined body, innovative technology, top safety features and superb entertainment, all while offering absolute comfort.
Sculpted and muscular, the E-Pace is an SUV designed as a coupe. An optional panoramic roof gives the vehicle a light airiness while simultaneously providing an open and expansive feel to the interior. Tied together with 21-inch sport-designed wheels and LED headlights, and the E-Pace is a car built to turn heads.
Manufactured with the family in mind, the E-Pace’s cockpit is all about the driver. With the goal of maximizing space with features like a deep center console and front door bins, it hosts enough room to store two 1.5 liter water bottles — or just a large collection of trinkets and rubbish that finds its way into your car.
The feel of the interior is one that evokes comfort and calm with strategic ambient pools of lighting in a choice of 10 colors. Of course, a Jaguar wouldn’t be a Jaguar without personalization. Choose from a variety of colors, materials, and finishes to craft the E-Pace that’s just right for you.
Compact does not mean lacking performance in a Jaguar, and with refined driving dynamics, being behind the wheel of an E-Pace is just as exciting as controlling an F-Type convertible. Reaching top speeds of 143 miles per hour and capable of accelerating from zero to 60 in 6.6 seconds, this 2.0-liter four cylinder Ingenium gas engine boasts 246 horsepower.
Built to increase rigidity to improve suspension with an independent suspension system, the The E-Pace is as agile as a compact SUV can be. The intelligent all-wheel drive system ensures a controlled torque as the Active Driveline optimizes traction. The addition of All Surface Progress Control will have you taking on the slipperiest of conditions without a fear in the world. No matter the road or conditions ahead, the E-Pace can take it with fervor and grace.
The in-car technology suite available in the E-Pace is one that lacks for nothing. The customizable InControl Touch Pro is a highly advanced touchscreen display that can also be commanded by voice. Route planning navigation will help you find the quickest way to your destination at which point the system will kick over to your phone to provide public transport and walking directions to your final destination.
The E-Pace heavily relies on learning and intuition; it is able to study your driving and route habits to inform you of necessary information for your route without you having to input a destination. The InControl system is also available on the two rear headrest displays equipped with entertainment features to help keep the peace and calm on long distance trips. Lastly, a heads up and interactive driver display work together to keep you informed while also keeping your eyes glued to the road.
Refusing to compromise on style, performance or flair, the all-new 2017 Jaguar E-Pace is a compact vehicle to help big dreams come true.
