LUXURIOUS E-PACE

With a driver-focused cockpit sitting at the heart of a family focused interior, the new Jaguar E-PACE takes a rewarding driving experience and adds everyday practicality. There’s never been a compact SUV like this before.

With its sculpted bonnet and muscular rear haunches, E-PACE is a dynamic, agile SUV with the lines of a coupé. For a striking on-road presence, E-PACE features sleek LED headlights and signature LED rear lights.

To increase safety, with style, choose Matrix LED headlights with signature Daytime Running Lights and Animated Directional Indicators.

There are five engine choices — two turbo petrol variants producing 183kw and 221kw and three turbo diesels delivering 110kw, 132kw and 177kw— all from the Jaguar Land Rover-designed and Brit-built family of 2.0-litre fours. All models in the Australian range feature a nine-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive.

Once you’ve picked your engine, the next choice to be made is between the regular and R-dynamic exterior. The latter adds a sportier front bumper and grille, twin exhaust tailpipes, paddle-shifters on the steering wheel, and more.

Prices for the extensive range open at $53,170 driveaway. This is roughly $10,000 less than the base-grade XE sedan that is currently the most affordable model in the Jaguar catalogue.

With Jaguar curves on the outside and one of the brand’s best interiors, the new E-pace poses a real challenge to established players in the premium compact SUV segment.

Among this crowd, the E-pace stands out for the right reasons. Count on it boosting the number of Jaguars on Australian roads.
