Last week we attended a really special event at the Excel, London, for the launch of Jaguar’s latest model.
The new E-Pace was revealed in London with dramatic effect, bagging a Guinness World Record along the way.
We witnessed the furthest barrel roll in a production vehicle and must say is was damn impressive. The SUV leapt into the record books with a 15.3 metre-long jump complete with a 270-degree corkscrew-like ‘barrel roll’.

The car itself is a sporty SUV which, as you’d expect with Jaguar, looks the part. The exterior design is inspired by the Jaguar F-TYPE sports car and characterised by the distinctive Jaguar grille, muscular proportions, short overhangs and powerful haunches that give the E-PACE a bold and purposeful stance.
Along with the looks, it has all the mod-cons (is mod-cons okay to use?), that include 4G Wi-Fi, a super-sized touchscreen as standard.
Its has all-weather, all-surface traction technology and all-wheel drive keeps you connected to the road. Price-wise it starts from £28,500, making it far more competitively priced than you my think.
