WATCH: Ready to pounce - Jaguar's E-Pace

Jaguar's E-Pace aims to pounce on the compact SUV segment dominated by the BMW X1, Mercedes GLA, and Volvo XC40.

Although it weighs in at almost two tons, it can still reach 100km per hour in 7.1 seconds.

Jaguar’s new compact SUV, the E- E-Pace, arrived locally earlier in March 2018. Designed and engineered to introduce new fans to the brand, the E-Pace retailed from R598 500 at launch. The local E-Pace range comprises 38 AWD derivatives.

The E-Pace is the newest member of Jaguar’s SUV family, joining the World Car of the Year-winning F-Pace performance SUV, and Jaguar’s first all-electric SUV, the I-Pace Concept.
