  • Jaguar E-PACE a vehicle with an attitude that represents drivers way of life
  • Jaguar E-PACE: the design and dynamics of a Jaguar sports car in a five-seat compact performance SUV
  • Latest connectivity technologies and practicality solutions

  Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors Co., the authorised dealer for Jaguar Land Rover vehicles in Saudi Arabia has announced the arrival of the new Jaguar E-PACE in its showrooms. The new vehicle made its debut in KSA at glittering launch events held at Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors Jeddah & Riyadh showrooms, while it will be launched in Khobar on April 24th  2018. Jeddah launch event witnessed the presence of Mr. Barrie Peach, Her Majesty’s Counsel General, and Mr. Stavros Paraskevaides Senior Vice President, Premium Automotive Sector at Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors Co. and Mr. Andre Bonthuys, Managing Director of Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors Jaguar Land Rover.

The Jaguar E-PACE is a five-seat, compact SUV that packs the design and performance of a Jaguar sports car into a spacious, practical and connected all-wheel-drive vehicle. Trademark Jaguar driving dynamics and design put the brand’s sports car DNA in a practical design packed with advanced technologies to keep you connected.

The exterior design is inspired by the Jaguar F-TYPE sports car and characterised by the distinctive Jaguar grille, muscular proportions, short overhangs and powerful haunches that give the E-PACE a bold and purposeful stance, instantly communicating dynamic agility. Jaguar sports car DNA is also evident in the fast sweep of the roofline and the distinctive side window graphic.

Mr. Andre Bonthuys, Managing Director of Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Motors Jaguar Land Rover, said: “The launch of the new Jaguar E-PACE in Saudi Arabia will be a major highlight for all car enthusiasts, especially as the introduction of female driving date approaches. We are proud to offer our customers the Jaguar E-PACE which combines the interior space, connectivity and security that families expect with the kind of proportions, purity of design and performance not usually associated with such a practical vehicle.”

E-PACE: Connected, Intelligent, Agile, Responsive

The Jaguar E-PACE is connected and intelligent. The 10-inch touchscreen comes as standard and connects customers to their favourite apps, including Spotify. Jaguar Land Rover’s InControl system allows you to keep the vehicle secure by tracking it on your smartphone, automatically alerts the emergency services in case of an accident and allows you to check fuel levels and mileage remotely via a smartphone or smartwatch. Customers can warm up the car, cool it down and even start it remotely using InControl.

Digital connectivity can be found throughout the cabin, ready for every need of the modern family. There are up to four 12-volt charging points and five USB connections as well as a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot for up to eight devices.

The E-PACE has exceptional interior space for its class. The compact SUV can seat five in absolute comfort with generous rear legroom. The large luggage space is made possible by the vehicle’s sophisticated Integral Link rear suspension architecture and can fit a pushchair, a set of golf clubs and a large suitcase.

Configurable Dynamics gives the driver even more control with individual settings for the throttle, automatic transmission, steering, and, where fitted, the Adaptive Dynamics suspension system. Adaptive Dynamics senses driver input, body and wheel movements and pre-emptively loads the suspension and chassis and adjusts the damping for improved roll control and agility in all conditions.

E-PACE engine functions on the intelligent Continuously Variable Valve Lift (CVVL) system that varies the extent to which inlet valves are opened, reducing engine pumping losses. This lets the engine ‘breathe’ with maximum efficiency, optimising power and torque. CVVL works in combination with dual independent variable cam timing (VCT) for ultimate operating flexibility, resulting in excellent power and fuel economy across the rev range. The twin scroll turbocharger is fed by an integrated exhaust manifold which increases the transfer of energy to the turbine – significantly reducing turbo lag and improving engine response.

The E-PACE also provides the option of Eco Mode which encourages fuel-efficient driving by reducing throttle sensitivity, selecting more economical engine mapping. It also reduces fuel consumption by minimising the energy demands placed on the engine by climate control and audio systems. A display on the Touchscreen provides vehicle data and driving tips.

E-PACE’s Active Driveline all-wheel-drive system is a technological first for Jaguar. The intelligent set-up combines phenomenal traction with Jaguar’s unmistakable rear-wheel-drive character. The system’s torque-biasing capability delivers optimal stability, dynamics and fuel efficiency in all conditions and all weathers.

The E-PACE features the very latest safety and driver assistance technologies. A stereo camera which supports Lane Keep Assist and also combines with the electric power assisted steering system and rear radars to deliver a Blind Spot Assist function, to help reduce the risk of sideswipe collisions on multi-lane roads. A new Forward Traffic Detection system also warns drivers of approaching vehicles at junctions where visibility is restricted. Advanced active safety features include a pedestrian airbag, which deploys from beneath the trailing edge of the bonnet in the event of a collision.

The E-PACE is the first Jaguar to feature the company’s next-generation Head-Up Display technology. The advanced display can project up to 66 per cent more information onto the windscreen using large, full-colour graphics with enhanced clarity. Essential information including vehicle speed and navigation directions are in full view at all times, with alerts and updates for the infotainment, safety and convenience features all projected directly into the driver’s eyeline – reducing the need to look away from the road.

An optional 12.3-inch full colour digital instrument panel and choice of two premium audio systems developed with Meridian put the E-PACE on a par with vehicles from the class above when it comes to interior technology.

The E-PACE is also available with Jaguar’s innovative wearable Activity Key. The waterproof and shockproof wristband has an integrated transponder, allowing the driver to lock the main key inside the vehicle when enjoying outdoor pursuits such as running or cycling.

Whenever the Activity Key is activated, by holding the wristband up to the upper edge of the number plate surround on the tailgate, any conventional key fobs left inside the vehicle are disabled.

The strong chassis also allows owners to tow up to 1,800kg (braked), ideal for customers who use their E-PACE for both business and pleasure.
