First Drive Jaguar E Pace HD

WE’VE COME TO CORSICA A SMALL ISLAND 102 MILES OFF THE COAST OF FRANCE, WE’VE COME HERE TO PUT THE NEW SMALLEST JAGUAR SUV THROUGH ITS PACES AND FIND OUT IF IT HAS A PLACE IN YOUR DRIVEWAY. NIK VO:IF YOU’VE BEEN HOLDING YOUR BREATH FOR A COMPACT LUXURY SUV THAT MEETS THE ENTIRE FAMILY’S NEEDS AND STILL HAS THE PERFORMANCE DNA THAT IS WELL-KNOWN FROM THE JAGUAR BRAND IT’S FINALLY ARRIVED AND A TRIP TO CORSICA PROVED THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEST IT OFF-ROAD AND ON ROAD, AND TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY CAPABLE SO LET’S START WITH THE OFF-ROAD YOU NEVER GOING TO DO THIS IN YOUR JAGUAR E PACE BUT IT’S GOOD TO KNOW THAT IT CAN HANDLE ALL KINDS OF OFF ROAD CONDITIONS FROM SAND DUNES TO WATER FORDING AND JUST IN CASE YOU GET THAT MIDNIGHT CALL TO GO FEED THE CATTLE, YOU KNOW IT’S GOING TO HANDLE THAT FARM FIELD WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM NIK ON CAM: IDK IF YOU DID INTERIOR STUFF? NIK VO:THE ON ROAD DRIVING IS WHERE IT REALLY SHINES. WELL POWERED, NIMBLE AND LIGHT. IT PERFORMS WITH THE SAME CATLIKE REFLEXES AS JAGUAR HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN FOR AND IT MANAGES TO DO IT IN QUITE A SEXY SHELL. IT ALSO THE CHOICE OF TWO DIFFERENT ENGINES 246 HP AND 296 HP, BUT NO DIESEL FOR THE UNITED STATES. IT SITS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE BMW X1 AND BMW X2, THE SAME SIZE AS THE AUDI Q3 AND MERCEDES-BENZ GLA. NOW TO THINK THAT YOUR HONDA ACCORD MAY HAVE HAD AROUND 180 HP, 296 HP IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POWER IN SUCH A SMALL COMPACT CUV PACKED WITH BRITISH TECHNOLOGY INCLUDING A 10 INCH INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT HAS ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES AND JAGUAR HAVE ANOINTED IT WITH THEIR 60,000 MILE FIVE YEAR WARRANTY. THINGS I DON’T LIKE INCLUDE THE FACT THAT WERE NOT GOING TO GET THE DIESEL VERSION IN THE UNITED STATES AND SOME OF THE FRONT PASSENGER LEGROOM DUE TO PACKAGING SEEMS A LITTLE TIGHT, BUT THE CENTER CONSOLE ALLOWS YOU FOR TWO BOTTLES OF GIN TO BE STOWED AND THERE IS MULTIPLE POWER OUTLETS AND STORAGE THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE JAGUAR HAVE DEFINITELY HIT THEIR STRIDE WITH THE SUVS AND CUV MARKET. THE F PACE, JAGUARS FIRST EVER SUV, OUTSOLD ALL OTHER JAGUAR CARS LAST YEAR IT’S BEEN A HUGE HIT AND THIS BIG BROTHER TO THE E PACE HAS ALREADY GOT HEADS TURNING AROUND THE WORLD. NOW IT’S THE TURN OF THE E PACE BY THE WAY IT WAS DUBBED THE CUB BUT DURING DEVELOPMENT. THE E PACE WILL ABSOLUTELY BE A SALES WINNER FOR JAGUAR. THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED, WELL ENGINEERED, AND BEAUTIFULLY PUT TOGETHER, IT MIGHT JUST BE MY FAVORITE VEHICLE IN THE SEGMENT NIK ON CAM:THE BRAND NEW E PACE STARS AT 38,600 AND IS AVAILABLE IN DEALERSHIPS RIGHT NOW.
