Someone got close to the E-Pace while it was unguarded and took two spy shots of the interior. really can't see much with all the hanging wires and dash covers.
I'm guessing the instrument cluster has a center speedometer in the middle instead of the two found in the F-Pace. Also looks like it uses a normal shifter instead of the knob.
I wouldn't call that a reveal by any means haha. They did a great job covering it all up very well. We can barely see a vent, shifter, and what looks to be an F-Pace steering wheel
That's what I was looking at as well but for all we know, all of those things in there are mocked up and just sitting in places. Could still be moved around and finalized?
Think we'll get the shift dial similar to what's in the F-Pace? I assume the new E-Pace will look similar to the 2017 F-Pace in terms of general layout.
Its the path of least resistance for Jaguar. Being at a point where they still have to establish their bread and butter of the brand, keeping things simple and streamlined is the way to go. All i'd care to see are subtle differences, not too much to ask for.
I agree. I'll be perfectly content if it's very similar, which it should be, to the F-Pace interior and what they currently have going on. A dial shifter would be good enough for me, I don't mind at all. That infotainment screen at such a large angle is throwing me off, but upon closer inspection, I'm not even sure if that's a screen or just a piece of plastic.
Looking at it again, I doubt it'll be a dial shifter with how far back the shift stick is from where the dial is located on the F-Pace. We can look forward to a similar center stack layout with a larger storage cubby for your phone.
I honestly don't see the point of the wireless charging cubby in cars, especially since not every phone has the capability and a plug charges faster anyways.
Well... it's just because you can and it's a fancy feature you could tell people about. Also, there are things you could plug in to your phone like ChargeSpot to let it utilize the wireless charging.
Less ugly wires to have slung all over the place too.
Wireless charging is massively valuable especially as charging infrastructure grows and we need more ways to dumb down the process of charging. Dumbing it down helps to prevent human related issues.
If Jaguar is really set on adding the wireless charging cubby, they should make it the side of a notepad. Phones are getting progressively larger and a person's phone may not fit in there to utilize the feature.
I personally haven't used wireless charging for my phone before but does the surface area of the charging "pad?" need to completely span the surface area of the phone?
Looking closer I noticed that the side of the center console has some kind of stitching, meaning the center console could be leather wrapped to blend into a leather dash.
I was told they wanted to do away with real leather throughout the interior and instead go for faux-leather. If it won't be done with the E-Pace's we get, you can bet it will be done further long the line with all that's happening on a much larger level to move away from real leather.
I have noticed that different manufacturers are taking more eco and "friendly" approaches to the materials they use. Ford is going to start using bamboo for example. But I think for Jaguar, if they end up losing the real leather and going to the faux, it really won't upset many BUT it will make many more happy about it and more compelled to go towards the brand. Apparently a lot of people are quite passionate and against the usage of real leathers and what not for mass production, err well any production for that matter.
I can understand the eco friendly movement, but there will always be those who want it as a luxury indicator. Personally, it's a non issue for me and faux-leather sounds like it'll require less maintenece than the real stuff anyways.
I know what you mean, but I feel like those that really want that real leather luxury indicator are the same ones that wear those big real fox fur scarves or jackets lol. Either way, still a smaller portion of people than those that care more for the environment and animals and what not, and that population is growing daily.
From the interior shots, it looks like the middle is covered with fabric and the outside trim seems to be something like leather. What I don't see are power seat memory buttons. Where are they generally located?
Maybe once Andriod and Apple systems have been well integrated into our vehicles we might see an APP that gives us full control over settings like this. Not that hard from what I can imagine. There's a certain level of convince that comes with this tech
