In 2017, Jaguar's lineup was expanded with a new model - the premium compact crossover Jaguar E-Pace. According to the manufacturer, the novelty combines the makings of a sports coupe and the functionality of an SUV, and its main audience is people who lead an active life and want to get a quality sports car.

The main competitors of the new Jaguar E-Pace are such models as Audi Q3, Lexus NX, BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA-class, against which the Jaguar is perceived as a real breath of fresh air, captivating not only with a stylish and dynamic appearance, first-class technical filling and a comfortable interior, but also with a mass of newfangled "chips".

This is why the company has high hopes for its new compact crossover, with more than 80% of buyers expecting the E-Pace to be the first Jaguar in their entire automotive history.

The appearance of the Jaguar E-Pace 2018

The novelty has an attractive, modern and energetic appearance that literally attracts the eyes of others. What to hide - when creating the Jaguar E-Pace, the manufacturer borrowed a number of proprietary features from the F-Type model, the F-Pace crossover and even the Aston Martin "Vantage" supercar - as a result, the car received an even more spectacular and expressive design than the soplatform Range Rover Evoque ...

"Muzzle" of the crossover sports spectacular LED optics, an expressive false radiator grille and a powerful front bumper, in which large cutouts are built into the air intakes.

Swift sports car profile It is represented by A-pillars strongly inclined towards the trunk, a domed roofline, massive wheel arches and a high window line, as well as large R21 light-alloy rollers.

Impressive feed size received spectacular LED side lights, a massive rear spoiler, a compact luggage compartment lid and a massive embossed bumper, complemented by a pair of large exhaust system trunks.

In terms of external dimensions, the new E-Pace fits exactly into the compact crossover segment:

According to the passport data, as can be seen from the table, the maximum crossover clearance does not exceed 204 mm, which is more than enough for driving not only in the city, but also outside it. True, it is worth remembering that the native element for the novelty is the highway, and not the broken off-road.

The future owners of Jaguar E-Pace are offered a wide palette of body colors, which, together with a large number of variations in the design of rims, opens up impressive possibilities for personalizing the exterior.

Jaguar E-Pace 2018 interior design

The interior of the novelty is made in a single key with the rest of the Jaguar models. Nevertheless, the manufacturer has equipped it with an individual architecture of the front dashboard, where the driver and front passenger area is clearly delineated.

The driver's seat is represented by a stern yet stylish three-spoke multi-wheel steering wheel, as well as a fully digital instrument cluster presented by a 12.3-inch LCD display. The center console is crowned with a multimedia system with a 10-inch touchscreen monitor, a block of function keys and three multifunctional climate control knobs.

Vehicle interior made with the use of exclusively first-class materials: real wood, soft plastic, high quality genuine leather and aluminum. The build quality is also excellent and is fully consistent with the premium segment car.

For front passengers ergonomic chairs are offered with excellent lateral support, various benefits of civilization and an impressive number of adjustments.

Second row of seats is capable of accommodating three riders - however, it is worth making a reservation right away that it would be a stretch to call the E-Pace's salon spacious.

Behind the second row of seats, the luggage compartment is traditionally located, which in the stowed state is 577 liters (484 liters, subject to the presence of a small spare wheel under the raised floor). If desired, the boot volume can be increased to 1234 liters by folding the backrests of the second row of seats.

As befits a high-end car, the Jaguar E-Pace offers ample interior customization options as well as a wide range of cutting-edge equipment.
