Segment
Small SUV
Jaguar's compact SUV — based on the Range Rover Evoque's transverse-engine LR-MS platform, not the aluminium D7a underpinning F-Pace and XE. Built at Magna Steyr, Graz. UK gets 2.0 Ingenium petrol and diesel, plus a P300e PHEV (1.5 three-cylinder + electric motor, 305 bhp combined). 2020 facelift cleaned up cabin and added MHEV. Smaller than the F-Pace, less premium than the XE feels. More PSA-ish than other Jags; not the brand's strongest entry, but priced to compete with Audi Q3 and BMW X1.
