Smart Settings learns the driver’s habits and anticipates their needs to make their life easier.
The Jaguar E-Pace recognises the approaching driver, based on both a key fob and smartphone Bluetooth signal.
The vehicle will then adjust the seat, climate and infotainment system based on the driver’s normal preference.
Over time, algorithms tailor settings based on time, location, weather and behaviour patterns – for example, pre-heating the steering wheel and seats on a cold day, or changing the media source on a particular day of the week or time of day.
Up to eight profiles can be set up on the Jaguar E-PACE, making it a worthwhile offering for fleets users and those who share their vehicle.
Adaptive Dynamics offers improved handling response, body control and ride.
Adaptive Dynamics uses continuously variable damper technology with a triple-tube design and externally mounted hydraulic valves.
Adaptive Dynamics monitors vehicle movements every 2 milliseconds and calculates the required damping force every 10 milliseconds to respond instantly to the driver’s inputs and road surface changes, providing greater control and minimising body roll.
Rough surfaces and off-road conditions are sensed immediately, and the damping adapts accordingly.
The Jaguar E-Pace also gets a 200ps 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbocharged Ingenium petrol engine for the first time.
The new engine features twin scroll turbocharger, Continuously Variable Valve Lift and variable cam timing which work to enhance power and efficiency as well as drivability.
