The Jaguar E-Pace has gone on sale in Malaysia earlier this month, following its first preview in the country at the 2018 Premium Auto Car Expo (PACE). Initially slated for a local launch in the first half of 2019, this was delayed until its first Malaysian appearance at the end of last year.
Powertrain for the new SUV is a 2.0 litre turbocharged Ingenium petrol engine, mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox with AWD. However, the E-Pace has since emerged to be rated for 200 PS instead of the 249 PS/365 Nm outputs that were previously expected. This enables a 0-100 km/h time of 8.2 seconds. Rolling stock for the E-Pace P200 in Malaysia are 20-inch wheels on 235/50 tyres.
Included in the E-Pace P200 is Smart Settings, which learns the driver’s preferences and habits. In addition to the often-used parameters just as seat position, climate and infotainment, the system is able to detect time, location, weather and behaviour patterns to pick up on more of the driver’s usage.
This can switch to a different media source for a particular day of the week or time of the day, for instance, while an Intelligent Phone Reminder Function will remind drivers to collect their smartphones from the vehicle if they are left behind. Smart Settings can accommodate up to eight user profiles in the E-Pace.
Infotainment itself comes courtesy of the InControl Touch Pro setup that is accessed via a 10-inch touchscreen, while driver instrumentation features analog dials with a digital multi-function centre display, instead of the 12.3-inch full-colour digital panel that was previously expected here. Audio comes courtesy of a 380-watt Meridian sound system, and Apple CarPlay is included here.
Safety kit on the E-Pace P200 includes lane departure warning with lane keeping assist, as well as a Driver Condition Monitor, while passive safety kit is comprised of six airbags. Just two metallic exterior colours are listed for the Jaguar E-Pace, which are Yulong White and Firenze Red.
Manufactured in Graz, Austria by Magna Steyr, the fully imported Jaguar E-Pace is priced for Malaysia at RM403,216 excluding road tax and insurance, and pricing includes the 50% sales tax waiver for imported cars under the Penjana economic stimulus plan.
In Malaysia, the E-Pace comes with a Jaguar Care Programme that includes a five-year warranty, five-year free service package and a three-year roadside assistance entitlement. Competitors for the E-Pace in this segment include the Audi Q3 as well as the BMW X1. Check out the E-Pace in greater detail via our gallery, here.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This isn’t a nice looking car with the black plastic surrounds. It looks like a Kia but 300% more expensive.
For that same price 400K, better get the more powerful 300PS Jaguar XE P300 R-Dynamic.
Just get the x5 45e at this point….inline 6 with more power and wayyy more luxurious
this Jaguar Suv same level is Maserati Levante 788k & Range Rover 879K. so 400k bucket Berbaloi!
I drive about 150 KM per day in Klang Valley. Mostly in Bangsar and Damansara Heights.
In a year, I see Jaguar maybe once or twice. That also, the old Jaguar XJ6
I don’t know why, Jaguar tak laku in Malaysia. The car just cannot sell.
Why? Very simple. Cheap Jaguar XF now can get like RM70k
But bumper kena bang is RM25k. Windscreen kena batu RM25k
Now you know why even the rich scared to buy Jaguar. Ferrari and Porsche also kalah.
Kunta and his bollocks back again.
You’re no better john. Been seeing you since 2015.
Seriously….
Audi Q3 Sportback
BMW X2 M
Both under RM350k (wth tax)
with that puny 200PS, better buy the proton X70
With this price you can get glc300 coupe
Even though it’s smaller, it’s actually heavier than the F-Pace.
Severly overpriced car. Interior looks worse than a kia. Black scratchy plastics everywhere. No full didgital display. You could get cars like the Range Rover Evoque, X4, GLC coupe around this price or even the GLC 300, X3 xDrive30i MSport, XC60, Q3 Sportback for less!( Let’s not forget the X5 xDrive45e which is just a tad more expensive(but so much more luxurious)) They all have better interior, are more powerful, and are much better looking inside out.Not to say this car is not sexy because it is but it is just overpriced.
FINAL VERDICT: Get a Tesla Model 3 lol
Agreed !!! Well said
XC90 money for a car smaller than the X70……. I’ll buy any salesmen who manages to sell 1 lunch
x70 so much nicer.
this is just a KIA Niro with an expensive badge
