[Report on e-family new cars] Recently, a set of Jaguar J-PACE renderings have been exposed overseas. The new car is positioned as Jaguar’s flagship SUV and is expected to be launched in 2021 at the earliest. According to the exposed news, in addition to gasoline power, the J-PACE model will also have a plug-in hybrid version, with a pure electric cruising range of 80 kilometers.
J-PACE is positioned above the medium and large SUV level, and its main competitors will target the flagship models of various brands such as BMW X5 and Audi Q7.
It is reported that the new car will be built on the all-aluminum MLA platform. Jaguar also said that Jaguar will only have this platform in the future. The J-PACE fuel version will be equipped with an in-line six-cylinder turbocharged engine, while the plug-in hybrid model will add an electric motor to the rear axle. It is expected that the pure electric cruising range of the new car can reach 80 kilometers.
This car also provides maximum seating space and pure electric cruising range. There will be no bulge in the center of the J-PACE rear floor, and the chassis will be as flat as possible to reduce air resistance and increase pure electric cruising range. In the later stage, J-PACE is also expected to launch a fuel version equipped with a four-cylinder engine and a pure electric version.
