That the Jaguar E-PACE is in its feline form is, of course, meant entirely positively. He is really charming to look at and therefore it would be hard to call him a beast or a wild cat. Its cute headlights, large rims and compact dimensions remind us more of a jaguar cub, which melts our heart, than of its hunting mother, who paralyzes us with her gaze.

With it, Alfa challenged its German rivals.
