rmc523 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) http://www.autoblog.com/2017/07/13/2018-jaguar-e-pace-barrel-roll/ The Jaguar E-Pace is smaller than the F-Pace, and seats five. It's available with a pair of 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four gasoline engines mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The base motor makes 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, and puts that power to the ground via a standard all-wheel-drive system. The R-Dynamic version ups the output figures to 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet, comes with a pair of paddle shifters, and gets the Active Driveline AWD system. Both drivelines can transfer almost all the torque to either the front or rear axles, depending on the driving situation, but the Advanced Driveline can disengage AWD, sending power to just the front axle to save fuel, and does more to keep the car stable in dynamic driving.The E-Pace also offers an optional Configurable Dynamics package that allows the driver to select Normal or Dynamic modes, which affect throttle, transmission, and steering response. The optional Adaptive Dynamics system provides variable suspension damping based on the driving mode. Drivers can select driving modes through the E-Pace's JaguarDrive control, choosing from Normal, Dynamic, Eco, as well as a Rain, Ice and Snow mode for low-grip conditions.Inside the car, the E-Pace is equipped with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that has a customizable home screen. Two premium Meridian audio systems and a head-up display are available. All models have a feature that allows the owner to check on the vehicle remotely. The E-Pace also offers 4G Wi-Fi, and a connected navigation system that offers real time traffic and parking information.The E-Pace starts at $39,595. The R-Dynamic version begins at $48,245. Jaguar will also offer a limited E-Pace First Edition at a price of $54,545. The interior looks pretty cheap to me.

Hugh Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 You can probably dress it up but it does look basic there. The car looks pretty good but I like Jaguars anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Kind of pricey for a Q3/GLA/X1 competitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) I look at E-Pace and wonder what could have been for Cadillac if Alpha had been developed for Utilities instead of cars. Jaguar has nailed it with E Pace but it just shows how much the Luxury market has changed when Marques like Jaguar feel the need to develop vehicles like this with sub $40K price points.

tbone Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 They would be dumb not to in today's market. I can appreciate their willingness to move into new territory. This is a nice execution, but the interior is a little bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The interior of this and the new x-type (or whatever it's called) look like they don't belong. Some economy cars look nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Is it me or does that look not to have any legroom or do they have the seats all the way to the front?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I think they're pushed forward for the picture. I'd expect it to have the same legroom as the MKC. Not great but adequate for most folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and most definitely adequate for that class of car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
