The Jaguar E-Pace Is Now A Thing, And It Wants A Fight With The Audi Q3
Like the look of the F-Pace but want something ever so slightly smaller? Don’t worry, Jaguar has it covered.
The British car maker has just teased its latest crossover creation, the E-Pace. No, it’s not all-electric: that’s the I-Pace. Obviously.
Right now, the only official information we have is confirmation of the E-Pace name, “indicative pricing” of £28,500 and up, plus a full reveal date: 16 July. Oh, and we also know it’ll be a “compact performance SUV,” and so far as we can see, it’s going to be a tempting one in its corner of the market.
Although improved in the aesthetics department the BMW X1 still isn’t exactly a looker, while the Mercedes GLA is wanting for quality and is scarcely different to the cheaper A-Class. Then there’s the Audi Q3, which is crushingly dull. A stylish little Jag would be a nice alternative to all three, we reckon.
Engine-wise, we’re expecting a mix of 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol and diesel units, but probably no shouty supercharged V6, sadly.
We’ll bring you full details on the car on 16 June.

Looks like Jaguar is running out of Vowels; E Pace, I Pace next there will be O Pace
And then the A-Pace, but Jaguar will make an excuse and say they were missing A Pace!
They should name it “No-Pace”.
Seen as it’s only getting 2.0 litre engines.
Yeah!
Jaguar: “We are making the E-Pace! We want to fight the Q3 2.0T, X1 28i, and GLA250!”
CT: “But what about a turbocharged V6 or a powerful version to fight the RSQ3 and GLA45 AMG?”
Jaguar: “Umm….”
CT: “HAHAHAHA! Not E-Pace, No-Pace!”
I wouldn’t say a 2.0 diesel with 240bhp is slow especially on normal roads
EFFE
E-type
F-type

If the first E is a beauty then the second one should be
But this is an SUV.
it’s never gonna be as beautiful as the original E Type.
If Jaguar and Land Rover are both family companies, doesn’t that mean that an already introduced Land Rover will be the basis for a Jaguar?
Yeah basically same platform and engines I think
Enter your comment…
No.

Every time I hear that a sports car brand threw a new SUV on the market…
Jaguar isn’t a sports car brand. Its made sports car throughout its history but it has always been a pretty standard car producer.
Can we please have more cars and less boats?
I’m even more confused :( so many names and brands that are going to be from “car builders” to “stupid suvs builders” …. Whyyyy ??
Think there’s a problem, says they’ll give us details on the 16 th of June? Are they gonna travel through time?
