The Jaguar E-PACE is the British luxury automaker’s entry-level SUV. Small yet sporty, it returns for 2021 with the same turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, producing 246 or 296 horsepower depending on the trim level (the latter with a mild hybrid system). However, the chassis has been fine-tuned to deliver more stability and better ride quality. Inside, the highlight is a redesigned centre stack that incorporates new buttons and switches under a new 11.4-inch curved HD touchscreen.
