At last year's Chengdu Motor Show, the mid-term facelift of the Jaguar e-pace was also officially unveiled, with a sharper exterior and a better interior, but the price was more affordable. Today we finally have the opportunity to try this car, so let's take a look at it together.
First of all, the exterior design of this car does not make you feel that it is a compact model at all, and the visual effect brought by the heaviness of the whole car and the muscle lines is very full. It does not adopt the current mainstream flat multi-line design style, and still follows Jaguar's own route.
And the entire side styling of this car also pays homage to the elements of Jaguar's sports car F-Type, especially the fastback roof is really beautiful. And this car facelift, the shape of the 20-inch wheels has been redesigned, making it sportier and more youthful. At the same time, it is really rare to see a model with 20-inch wheels in this class.
The taillights are very eye-catching, although the shape of the whole vehicle is inflated and muscular, but the slender design of the taillights can bring excellent visual impact, and the internal structure of the lamp cavity is also inspired by the track design is very interesting. The double-sided single exhaust is not only a decoration, but also has a more pleasant exhaust sound.
In fact, the interior of the car can better see the design of this car to pay tribute to the F-type, first of all, the entire central control area is to the driver's side, obviously paying more attention to the driving experience, and the co-pilot's grip is a perfect replica of the classic sports car elements. Of course, the large area of the interior of the car, the package, and the genuine stitching, are a must for the e-pace as a luxury brand, and there is no problem in this regard.

In addition, all models are equipped with a negative ion air purification device in the car as standard, which can filter out 95% of PM2 in the car within 1 minuteClass 5 contaminants.
Finally, let's talk about the feeling of this little leopard driving, we test drive this car today is 2The 0T top-of-the-line four-wheel drive model is equipped with an engine with a maximum power of 249 hp and a maximum torque of 365 Nm, which is matched with a 9AT automatic transmission. In addition, the whole system is also equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system as standard, which can not only disengage the engine to provide power for the vehicle, but also assist the vehicle to start, making the whole car more light and fuel-efficient.
In terms of driving style, this car is very typical of European car texture, and you can feel its tight chassis when driving it for the first time, and even feel a little stiff when you go over speed bumps. But when I drove the car down the mountain, I was pleasantly surprised by the feedback from the chassis.
Solid suspension, with a power output of nearly 250 horsepower, and the blessing of the four-wheel drive system, make this compact SUV give people a sporty driving quality on mountain roads, and it will not feel like driving an SUV at all. With strong lateral support and precise front pointing, driving in the mountains in the middle of winter is unfazed and fun.
Full text summary. It was my first time driving a Jaguar e-pace, but I was very impressed with the car as a whole, both in terms of the classic exterior design and the textured interior, as well as the sporty driving feel. can make it have its own unique style in the competition of the same level.
Now the e-pace is not only a localized model, but also a 1The 5T model can also provide 200 horsepower power output, but there is no four-wheel drive system. But the price is definitely down-to-earth, if you are interested in this little leopard full of personality, you can go to the store to feel it, whether it is the product power or the price should give you some surprises.
