New Jaguar E-PACE from Roger Young in Saltash, Cornwall

From £28,500, Jaguar's first compact SUV is a unique combination of striking looks, agility and dynamic driving.

E‑PACE is designed to excite the senses. It combines head-turning looks with agility and performance. Tested to extremes on all surfaces and in all conditions – this is an SUV that promises to entertain. Agile handling, head-turning good looks, and outstanding practicality – are the the very essence of New E‑PACE.

With a driver-focused cockpit sitting at the heart of a family-focused interior, new E‑PACE takes the rewarding Jaguar driving experience and adds everyday practicality with class leading interior stowage.

With enhanced driving dynamics and refinement, every journey becomes a pleasure in E‑PACE. For performance across a wide range of conditions, the All Wheel Drive (AWD) system intelligently controls torque distribution between front and rear axles. Drive torque is balanced across both axles to fully utilise the available traction from all four tyres. Balanced and responsive through corners, E‑PACE reacts quickly and precisely to your driving commands.

Ensuring that you are always in the optimum gear, maximising fuel efficiency and acceleration, E‑PACE's 9-speed Automatic Transmission is highly responsive and smooth. For even greater driver involvement and increased fuel economy, choose the 6-speed Manual Transmission.

In E‑PACE every component has been meticulously designed to deliver a refined, tactile experience. The cockpit wraps around the driver, and the SportShift gear selector sits at your fingertips. The stylish infinity rear view mirror has a frameless design. Jaguar E‑PACE looks unmistakably sporty, with its bold honeycomb mesh grille framed by LED headlights with signature ‘J' blade, its sculpted bonnet and muscular rear haunches, E‑PACE is a dynamic, agile SUV with the lines of a coupé.

For increased safety, E‑PACE has been engineered to include a suite of features not only to help protect you and your passengers, but to actively help prevent accidents from happening. Far more than the sum of their parts, E‑PACE’s driver assistance systems work together to make driving easier and safer.

E‑PACE's chassis has been developed to deliver agile and refined on-road dynamics. Aluminium chassis components are used to improve suspension performance by increasing stiffness. To increase ride comfort E‑PACE has a fully independent suspension system with a multi-link rear suspension design.
