Jaguar South Africa has released full pricing for its new E-Pace baby SUV, which is due to arrive on local shores in March 2018.

Jaguar's smallest SUV – which measures 4 395 mm long, employs a wheelbase of 2 681 mm and shares its platform with the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque – is set to slot in below the F-Pace and take on the likes of the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.

The local range will comprise a whopping 38 derivatives, with various trim levels offered in conjunction with the five powertrains (all of which feature a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as standard). Pricing, including CO2 emissions tax, will start at R601 578 and run through to R901 856 (which sees it positioned well above the aforementioned X1 and GLA), before any options have been selected.

The local engine line-up will comprise three diesels and two petrols. The brand's now-familiar 2,0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium diesel will be offered in D150 (110 kW/380 N.m), D180 (132 kW/430 N.m) and D240 (177 kW/500 N.m) guises, while the 2,0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium turbocharged petrol unit will deliver 183 kW/365 N.m in P250 form and 220 kW/400 N.m in range-topping P300 guise.

In addition to the standard, S, SE and HSE specification levels, the Coventry-based brand will also offer its R-Dynamic package, along with "First Edition" versions of the D180 and P250.
