Jaguar has released a teaser image of its upcoming compact SUV, confirming that the newcomer will be called the E-Pace.
Set to be fully revealed on July 13, the new performance SUV will slot into the British automaker’s line-up below the F-Pace, and will take aim at the likes of the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. A production version of the all-electric I-Pace concept, meanwhile, is expected to join the range later in 2018.
Although details are still thin, Jaguar says the E-Pace will feature “sportscar-derived AWD technology” and an all-Ingenium range of petrol and diesel engines, as well as a “suite of connected technology and safety features”.
The teaser image suggests that the rear styling won’t stray too far from that of the F-Pace.
“The combination of sportscar looks with Jaguar performance will ensure that the E-Pace stands out,” promised Ian Callum, director of design at Jaguar.
“Every Jaguar is designed to excite the senses, and we think E-Pace will do just that, albeit with its own individual character.”
UPDATE: A second teaser image has been revealed (below), which shows the E-Pace’s profile compared to those of the I-Pace concept and the F-Pace.
