Malaysian preview at the inaugural paultan.org Premium Auto Car Expo (PACE) is the Jaguar E-Pace, Coventry's most compact SUV yet. Having first made its global debut in July last year, the E-Pace steps into a well-populated segment which includes the likes of the BMW X1 and the Audi Q3.
Said to draw inspiration from the F-Type sports car, the E-Pace is currently slated for a Q1 / early Q2 next year, when it will come in a 2.0L AWD variant. The 2.0 liter Ingenium petrol produces 249 PS and 365 Nm of torque, which sends you to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic. In this way, the E-Pace achieves at 0-100 km / h sprint time of seven seconds.
The E-Pace is underpinned by the same platform used for the Land Rover Discovery Sport, and the junior Jag's chassis is based on the Integral Link rear suspension concept developed for the F-Pace. This layout separates longitudinal and lateral forces, which should provide the combination of responsive steering and handling with comfort and refinement.
Measuring 4,395 mm long with a 2,681 mm wheelbase, the E-Pace accommodates 480 liters of luggage capacity; this can be expanded to 1,234 liters by folding the rear seats.

Its glovebox holds 10.07 liters, while each holds 10.56 liters and 8.26 liters, respectively. There are also four 12-volt charging points and five USB ports.
Cabin design also draws inspiration from the F-Type, starting with the architecture dashboard where the front passenger handshake handles the boundary of the console driver.
Previewed here in Firenze Red with a black interior, there will be 10 exterior colors available on the E-Pace pallet, according to sales staff. LED headlamps with daytime running lights (DRLs) feature at the sharp end while full LED taillights feature at the opposing end, while the 20-inch, five-split-spoke '5051 Style' wheels in satin gray seen here are optional.
Also optional and similar to F-Pace sibling, the E-Pace can be specified with the Black Pack; Santorini Black finishes the wind, front grille and grid surround.
Inside, the E-Pace features the InControl Touch Pro infotainment unit with a 10-inch touchscreen, which includes a rear view camera. Active safety on the E-Pace includes assistance with a Driver Condition Monitor. Ventilation is shorty of two-zone climate control. Pricing is estimated to be in the RM400,000 ballpark, subject to final government approval, according to sales staff.
