2019 Jaguar J-Pace: Styling Details

Na matter this mule borrows plenty of parts from the amazing F-Pace model there are some rather essential differences at the moment. Of course, as the time goes, these two SUVs will lose the similarities, so when the carmaker finish the J-Pace, the testing model you see could look absolutely different.  In any case, at the moment, we see a bit longer wheelbase, and rather redesigned front end. If you look closely, you will see a completely new grille, as well as restyled bumper, which loses the air intakes.

Drivetrains and Platform

The future Jaguar J-Pace will ride on Range Rover’s aluminum platform, which suggests that the SUV might be light as a feather. Moreover, this so called D7 architecture is compatible with a wide range of engines, so the upcoming crossover could offer sever drivetrains. However, the most likely scenario involves hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric options under the hood. These hybrids will have several variants, so there will be a setup with gasoline engine, as well as a diesel-electric powertrain. As for the electric only model, we still can’t say anything precise, except the rumors suggest it will be ultra-efficient and very competitive with Tesla’s Model X and Audi’s Q6 e-tron, which should be ready in the next two or three years too.
