Our spies caught new prototypes of the facelifted 2021 Jaguar E-Pace while undergoing winter testing. While we don’t have any fresh information on the changes other than what we’ve already reported, we hear that it will likely launch in the second half of the year. [Updated 2/27/2020]
Jaguar had high hopes for the E-Pace, but that model hasn’t exactly resonated with consumers across the globe.
In the United States, the company only sold 4,782 units through 2019, a paltry increase over 4,479 sales in 2018. That’s disappointing, but the situation is better in Europe were 27,690 were delivered in 2019 versus 27,735 the previous year.
Putting the numbers aside, Jaguar is working on a facelift that could address some early criticisms of the model. Snapped wearing heavy camouflage, the updated crossover has revised headlights and what appears to be a modified front bumper.

The minor changes continue out back as there are new taillights with slimmer line accents. The bumper appears to carry over, but it’s hard to tell underneath all that camouflage.
Speaking of disguise, spy photographers noticed some camouflage in the cabin. This suggests we can expect a handful of interior updates, though don’t expect as many changes as the XE sedan as the E-Pace already has Jaguar’s newest gear selector and air-conditioning controls. As a result, the newest version of the crossover will likely be limited to a new steering wheel, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a Touch Pro Duo infotainment system.
Other updates could include some additionally revised switchgear and higher quality materials. That’s all just speculation at this point, but Jaguar hasn’t been shy about their plans to improve interior quality.
Engine offerings remain unconfirmed, but it’s possible the E-Pace could adopt a handful of new options including mild-hybrid powertrains with up to 286 hp (213 kW / 290 PS).
