technological first for Jaguar. The intelligent set-up combines
phenomenal traction with Jaguar’s unmistakable rear-wheel-
drive character. The system’s torque-biasing capability delivers
optimal stability, dynamics and fuel efficiency in all conditions
and all weathers.

E-PACE: Connected, Intelligent, Agile, Responsive
The Jaguar E-PACE is connected and intelligent. The 10-inch
touchscreen comes as standard and connects customers to
their favourite apps, including Spotify. Jaguar Land Rover’s
InControl system allows you to keep the vehicle secure by
tracking it on your smartphone, automatically alerts the
emergency services in case of an accident and allows you to
check fuel levels and mileage remotely via a smartphone or
smartwatch. Customers can warm up the car, cool it down and
even start it remotely using InControl.
Digital connectivity can be found throughout the cabin, ready
for every need of the modern family. There are up to four 12-
volt charging points and five USB connections as well as a 4G
Wi-Fi hotspot for up to eight devices.
The E-PACE has exceptional interior space for its class. The
compact SUV can seat five in absolute comfort with generous
rear legroom. The large luggage space is made possible by
the vehicle’s sophisticated Integral Link rear suspension
architecture and can fit a pushchair, a set of golf clubs and a
large suitcase.
Configurable Dynamics gives the driver even more control with
individual settings for the throttle, automatic transmission,
steering, and, where fitted, the Adaptive Dynamics suspension
system. Adaptive Dynamics senses driver input, body and
wheel movements and pre-emptively loads the suspension and
chassis and adjusts the damping for improved roll control and
agility in all conditions.
E-PACE is available with a range of powerful and efficient
Ingenium petrol and diesel engines. The 300PS Ingenium
petrol turbo engine powers the sporting SUV from 0-60mph in
just 5.9 seconds (6.4 seconds for the 0-100km/h sprint) before
reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 243km/h. For
customers who want the ultimate efficiency, the front-wheel
drive 150PS Ingenium diesel delivers CO2 emissions of 124g/
km.
Alan Volkaerts, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar E-PACE, said:
“The Jaguar E-PACE provides the best of both worlds: Jaguar
sports car dynamics with compact SUV practicality.
The E-PACE features the very latest safety and driver assistance
technologies. A stereo camera underpins the advanced
Autonomous Emergency Braking system, which also provides
pedestrian detection and supports Lane Keep Assist and Traffic
Sign Recognition, as well as the Intelligent Speed Limiter and
Driver Condition Monitor systems. Front and rear parking aids
are standard.
The camera also combines with the electric power assisted
steering system and rear radars to deliver a Blind Spot Assist
function, to help reduce the risk of sideswipe collisions on
multi-lane roads. A new Forward Traffic Detection system
also warns drivers of approaching vehicles at junctions where
visibility is restricted. Advanced active safety features include
a pedestrian airbag, which deploys from beneath the trailing
edge of the bonnet in the event of a collision.
The E-PACE is the first Jaguar to feature the company’s next-
generation Head-Up Display technology. The advanced display
can project up to 66 per cent more information onto the
windscreen using large, full-colour graphics with enhanced
clarity. Essential information including vehicle speed and
navigation directions are in full view at all times, with alerts and
updates for the infotainment, safety and convenience features
all projected directly into the driver’s eyeline – reducing the
need to look away from the road.
An optional 12.3-inch full colour digital instrument panel
and choice of two premium audio systems developed with
Meridian put the E-PACE on a par with vehicles from the class
above when it comes to interior technology.
The E-PACE is also available with Jaguar’s innovative wearable
Activity Key. The waterproof and shockproof wristband has an
integrated transponder, allowing the driver to lock the main
key inside the vehicle when enjoying outdoor pursuits such as
running or cycling.
Whenever the Activity Key is activated, by holding the
wristband up to the upper edge of the number plate surround
on the tailgate, any conventional key fobs left inside the vehicle
are disabled.
The strong chassis also allows owners to tow up to 1,800kg
(braked), ideal for customers who use their E-PACE for both
