Facelifted Jaguar E-Pace touches down: SA pricing
The facelifted Jaguar E-Pace SUV has hit South African shores sporting a new look, fresh engines and updated tech. The new line-up is priced between R868 000 and R1 236 000 (see full pricing below).
On the design front, Jaguar’s smallest SUV gains a revised grille with a new mesh design as well as new all-LED headlights featuring a ‘Double J’ DRL signature. The changes are equally subtle round back, where you’ll see a new mesh insert on the rear bumper and new LED tailights that boast Jaguar’s chicane graphic.
Inside there’s a new Pivo Pro infotainment system that’s operated through an 11,4-inch curved-glass high-definition touchscreen that is said to be almost 50 percent larger and three times brighter than the previous system. The new operating system allows for over-the-air updates and also includes Google and Microsoft Outlook calendar integration.
New plug-in hybrid option
Jaguar has added a plug-in hybrid powertrain option in the form of a new P300e model that pairs a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbopetrol engine to an 80 kW rear-mounted electric motor to produce system outputs of 227 kW and 540 N.m. According to Jaguar, the P300e PHEV, when fully charged, will allow drivers to cover up to 55 km on electric power alone.
The E-Pace is also available with a range of 2-litre turbocharged Ingenium petrol and diesel engines. Petrol options come in the form of a P250 with 184 kW and 365 N.m on tap and a P300 (non-hybrid) with 221 kW and 400 N.m. The latter is said to be capable of a 6.9 second 0-100 km/h time, although the PHEV beats it to the post with a 6.5 second sprint time.
All engine derivatives are paired with a nine-speed automatic gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive, while the range-topping P300 Sport also features Adaptive Dynamics as standard.
