2019 Jaguar E-PACE: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Jaguar E-PACE is a light-update year, led by a refreshed touchscreen infotainment interface. The body, engines, all-wheel-drive system, and basic trim structure otherwise carry over.
About the 2019 Jaguar E-PACE
1st generation (2018-2020 pre-facelift), second model year
Jaguar positioned the E-PACE as a compact performance SUV that mixes sports-car-inspired styling with everyday SUV usefulness. The launch messaging focused on F-TYPE-like design cues, standard all-wheel drive, connected cabin tech, and family-friendly practicality. In plain terms, it is the small Jaguar SUV for shoppers who want a more playful look and feel than many rivals, without giving up rear-seat space, cargo flexibility, or all-weather traction.
The P250 is the straightforward entry model, while the P250 S adds leather, power front seats, and built-in navigation. P250 SE models emphasize comfort and convenience with premium audio and a surround-view camera, while the 296-hp P300 R-Dynamic trims add a sportier all-wheel-drive system and appearance. The P300 R-Dynamic HSE tops the range with premium leather, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot assist.
