Thankfully the panoramic roof lets a lot of light in, because it’s very much black on black in the cabin. Red stitching is about all the contrast you get in the E-Pace. There is, inevitably, some faux leather but this can be forgiven with the E-Pace being the baby of the Jaguar family. Much of the interior is black, and leather. Also, the passenger side of the dashboard is sharply raked so as to not obscure the view out of the windscreen. In fact, there are several styling cues from the F-Type.įirst of these is the passenger grab-handle incorporated into the centre console. Elevated driving position aside, the actual design and styling is very sporty. Inside, the E-Pace continues the coupe styling theme. Park this outside the local shops and you’ll be glad to see it when you return. It creates a clean line, perfectly rounding off an exterior package which oozes style. Instead of the more common winged diffuser, the E-Pace R-Dynamic gets a simple piece of body-coloured trim. The rear bumper incorporates two exhaust tail pipes rather neatly. In keeping with the coupe theme, the rear window is small and is framed by a rather large spoiler. The windows taper up at the rear, and the rear arches are broad and muscular.Īround the back the lights are distantly similar to the F-Type. The side profile, despite being slightly taller, is distinctly coupe-like. It also had privacy glass and matrix LED headlights for a premium flair. Our test car further improved the exterior styling by adding 21-inch diamond-turned alloys, which more than adequately fill the arches. It’s available in a whole three colours – white, grey or red. The Chequered Flag edition is based on the sportier R-Dynamic trim, but benefits from 19-inch Satin Dark Grey alloy wheels, a Black Design Pack and Fixed Panoramic Roof. It’s well proportioned, with coupe-like styling. Sharing a platform with the Range Rover Evoque – a car we drove recently and absolutely loved – the E-Pace appears cute, and compact. So if you’re after a Jaguar SUV you have the choice of two: the larger F-Pace and its baby brother the E-Pace. SUVs come in all shapes and sizes these days – from shoe boxes to ocean liners and everything in between.
