2018 Jaguar E-PACE in Rochester, NY - $50,729

The all-new 2018 Jaguar E-PACE is a five-seat compact SUV that packs the design and performance of a Jaguar sports car into a practical and connected all-wheel-drive vehicle. The newest member of the Jaguar family of SUVs, the E-PACE is offered in E-PACE and E-PACE R-Dynamic models and available in Standard, S, SE and HSE trim levels.

The Jaguar E-PACE blends sports car design with compact SUV practicality, removing compromise from the equation. The result is a car that will attract new drivers to the Jaguar family and energize the segment. Short front and rear overhangs and the teardrop design of the side windows, inspired by the Jaguar F-TYPE, gives the newest addition to the ‘PACE’ family a purposeful stance. The front view of the compact SUV reveals a confident, assertive face that showcases its shared Jaguar DNA. The fast sweep of the roofline works in harmony with the bold side window design, sending a clear message about the vehicle’s dynamic promise. The body sides have the fuselage-like profile found in the most iconic Jaguar designs.

For customers who want their Jaguar E-PACE to make a clearer statement of its high-performance character, R-Dynamic models are the solution. On the exterior, R-Dynamic models use a series of design upgrades to achieve their standout style and enhance the athleticism of the E-PACE. A unique front bumper provides deeper outboard air intakes and includes fog lights to promote the vehicle’s sports car aesthetics. Body-colored sills and lower rear bumper surfaces with a Gloss Black rear valance give the vehicle a stronger sense of power and purpose. Satin chrome detailing on the front grille surround and the fender vents provide the finishing touches.

Power for the E-PACE is generated by a pair of 2.0-liter four-cylinder Ingenium gasoline turbocharged engines delivering 246 HP (E-PACE) and 296 HP (E-PACE R-Dynamic). Torque is conveyed to the drive wheels through a ZF nine-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive is an available option.

Chassis hardware developed specifically for the E-PACE provides the foundation for the compact performance SUV’s impressive dynamic capabilities.
The chassis is based on the sophisticated Integral Link rear suspension developed for the Jaguar F-PACE. The Integral Link architecture separates lateral and longitudinal forces, providing an excellent combination of responsive steering and handling with longitudinal impact absorption and refinement. The vehicle’s advanced rear suspension is also incredibly compact, maximizing interior space and allowing for generous wheel travel and articulation, giving the compact SUV added multi-surface capability.

Inside the passenger cabin is further proof that the E-PACE is a compact performance SUV. Its dynamic, modern, high-quality design amplifies the driving experience, while providing space and practicality for passengers. Occupants are enveloped in premium materials, ensuring every touch point emphasizes the sense of quality. Soft trimmed door casings with cool touch, satin chrome door handles, beautifully crafted leather-clad fascia and seat upholstery with twin-needle stitching all enhance the sense of luxury. The bold and intelligent use of color in the E-PACE is a hallmark of the interior, aided by a visually-cohesive linearity between the cockpit and doors. The color sections on the seats, instrument panel and door panels all echo a similar treatment found in the F- TYPE.

R-Dynamic models retain the vehicle’s exceptional interior comfort and refinement. Sports-style seats with unique shoulder profiles and deeper bolsters are the most eye-catching addition. The R-Dynamic seats feature a selection of leather seat finishes in vibrant colors with contrast stitching to highlight the model’s sporty character.

Elsewhere, the Jaguar design team has enhanced key details; Jet Morzine headlining, brushed stainless steel pedals and R-Dynamic treadplates complete the vehicle’s subtle change in character.
