Jaguar E-Pace

The Jaguar E-Pace (X540) is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV (C-segment in Europe) that was produced by the British car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) under their Jaguar marque. It was officially revealed on 13 July 2017 and was the second production Jaguar SUV.[2]

The car was built in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr and from 2018 by Chery Jaguar Land Rover, JLR's joint venture with partner Chery, in Changshu, China.[2]

Overview

Designed under the direction of Jaguar chief designer Ian Callum, the vehicle uses the JLR PTA platform, as used by the second incarnation of Range Rover Evoque and the second incarnation of Land Rover Discovery Sport.[3][4]

The car has a transverse front engine and is available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions.[4]

Stunt driver Terry Grant performed a world record barrel roll jump in the car for the reveal which took place at the London ExCel centre.[5] The car did a 270 degree barrel roll and travelled 50 feet (15.3 metres) through the air.

Production of the E-Pace ended in 2024, aligning with Jaguar's new goal of only offering fully electric vehicles going forward.

Engines

North American models receive two variants of the 2.0 L Ingenium engine that produces either 247 hp or 296 hp, all of which are mated to a 9–speed ZF 9-HP automatic.

In 2021, a facelift of the E-Pace included the addition of mild hybrid and plug in hybrid variants.[6]
