The Jaguar E-Pace is 4,345mm long, 1,984mm wide and 1,649mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,681mm. It comes with Adaptive Matrix LED headlamps. Styling inspiration is from its bigger brother, the F-Pace and the F-Type sports car. It comes with 21 inch alloys wheels but lower sizes will also be available. The E-Pace is expected to hit Indian shores next year and will rival the Mercedes GLA, Audi Q3 and the BMW X1.

The E-Pace entered the Guinness Book of Worlds records by completing the Furthest Barrel Roll in a Production Vehicle. The stunt comprised of a 15.3 m long jump complete with a 270 degree corkscrew-like ‘barrel roll’.

Terry Grant, Stunt Driver, said: “As far as I am aware no production car has ever cleanly completed a bona-fide barrel roll and therefore it has always been an ambition of mine to perform one ever since I was a boy. After driving the Jaguar F-PACE in the record-breaking loop-the-loop, it has been amazing to help launch the next chapter of the PACE family in an even more dramatic dynamic feat.”
