Jaguar To Place Audi Q3 And BMW X1 On Notice With E-Pace Debut Today

Jaguar will kickstart its biggest assault on the global car market yet when it reveals the hotly anticipated E-Pace, its second SUV, this evening at 8pm.

The E-Pace is arriving at a time when Jaguar is enjoying a significant upswing in sales. In April the company reported an 83% increase in global sales for the year 2016/17, with the introduction of the F-Pace providing a huge boost. The smaller E-Pace, which will go head to head with the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, is expected to surpass its sibling’s success.

Given how the F Pace really isn't a sales marvel, I doubt they are worried.

This seems to refute your statement:

And even if you adjust the 2016 sales or look at 2017 sales, the F Pace isn't anywhere near challenging the pace of its rivals.

They're doing what Volvo used to do with their sedans and sizing them in between direct competitors. So the F-Pace is smaller than a GLE or X5 but as expensive. This is going to cost as much as a Q5 and X3 but will be smaller, not sure if that's smart move or not considering the possible impact on sales when customer compare the size and space on offer. I do think the design is good though and looks premium and contemporary. They should do a Jag version of the Range Rover, will likely sell well.

If Jaguar is smart they will position the E-Pace as everything that high end midsize SUV/CUVs have but in a smaller size. The 3 German companies have this hang up that smaller size vehicles have to have less content, so they omit things like memory seats, ACC, great info/sound systems, etc. Plus the Gs use cheap materials in the interiors.

It will become Jag's best seller, right behind the F Pace

A best seller for Jaguar is a low threshold though.

Yes Matt - a Jaguar will sell in lower numbers. SO does Bentley and Rolls too.
It would be hard - however - to sink the number of TVRs they have sold so far - even if they have yet to produce one new one yet.

@TomM, your answer is incoherent. Lay off the vodka.
