The new Jaguar E-PACE revealed

With a refreshed exterior, enhanced interior, the latest Pivi Pro infotainment, new vehicle architecture and a choice of powerful and efficient engines - including an advanced Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), the new Jaguar E-PACE is more assertive, connected, refined and efficient than ever.

The new P300e PHEV powertrain combines a 197bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine and a 107bhp Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) motor. It provides the ability to drive up to 54km in EV mode, with combined CO₂ emissions of 44g/km and fuel economy up to 2.0L/100km.

The exterior design enhancements give Jaguar's compact performance SUV a more assertive stance and luxurious appearance. A revised front, lower aperture incorporating a distinctive blade element, and a new grille mesh design with diamond detailing is influenced by the Jaguar heritage logo.

New all-LED head lights feature 'Double J' daytime running lights. Adaptive Driving Beam capability evaluates the road ahead and automatically adapts the high beam pattern by selecting different LED segments to mask oncoming traffic or traffic signs, to optimise visibility and reduce glare without distracting other drivers.

The all-LED rear lights are inspired by the electric I-PACE and feature Jaguar's chicane graphic, showcasing the advanced technology and modernity of the overall design.

At the heart of the new interior is the integrated 11.4-inch curved-glass HD touchscreen at the centre of the dashboard, which controls the new Pivi Pro infotainment system.

The new Drive Selector - just one of the many beautiful details - is lower and wider and features an upper section finished with 'cricket-ball' stitching, the lower part being made of precision-engineered metal for enhanced tactility.

The focus on materials extends to the metallic speaker accents and vent finishes which, along with elements such as the metallic rotary dials, exemplify the premium interior. A new steering wheel, which is influenced by the design in the all-electric I-PACE, features hidden-until-lit switches and metal gearshift paddles.

Advanced features include intelligent All-Wheel Drive and smooth-shifting automatic transmissions, ensuring the new E-PACE delivers the dynamics, traction and refinement expected from a Jaguar.

The compact ERAD motor is powered by a 15kWh lithium-ion battery located under the boot floor. When fully charged it provides up to 87km of all-electric range.

The advanced 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine is the latest member of the modular, flexible Ingenium engine family, and is available in E-PACE with PHEV technology.
