The next piece in Jaguar’s SUV strategy has been spotted in the UK.

The E-Pace crossover that will span the line-up between the larger Jaguar F-Pace high-rider and the production version of the Jaguar I-Pace Concept all-electric SUV coupe.

With F-Pace sales outstripping other Jaguar models, big things are expected of the smaller and more affordable E-Pace when it hits showrooms around this time next year.

The short bonnet visually connects the E-Pace to the I-Pace, though that will be where most of the similarities end.

The I-Pace will ride on all-new architecture while the E-Pace is expected share underpinnings with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, which sits on a modified version of the Range Rover Evoque’s platform.

The lack of running gear to the back wheels will be good for interior space, which is an issue with the rear-wheel-drive F-Pace.

The E-Pace is expected to launch by the end of the year, with the I-Pace to follow some time in 2018.
