Jaguar E-PACE achieves five-star Euro NCAP safety rating

  • New #jaguar #epace delivers five-star Euro NCAP safety
  • High scores in the adult and child occupant tests, as well as pedestrian protection
  • Jaguar’s first compact #suv features of advanced driver assistance technology including Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist and Driver Condition Monitor
  • Five-star #safety rating combined with impressive residual values and prices from £28,500 (OTR), make newest #jaguar even more appealing

The new #jaguar #epace has achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating that confirms the hotly anticipated vehicle as among the safest on the market.

Jaguar’s first compact #suv keeps everyone safe with high scores of 86% for adult occupant protection, 87% for child occupant protection and 77% for pedestrian protection.

The #epace scored maximum points in the side barrier, as well as in the side and the frontal offset tests for child occupants. In the pedestrian tests, #epace scored highly, particularly for the protection of a pedestrian’s head in the #event of a collision.

E-PACE features a comprehensive suite of standard #safety systems, including Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. The advanced technology is able to detect a collision risk with cars or pedestrians in the road ahead and automatically apply the brakes.

Safety is one of our core customer principles and so we’re delighted the #jaguar #epace has been recognised by Euro NCAP for its five-star #safety credentials. The #epace will bring new customers to the #jaguar brand, particularly young families, so #safety is an absolute priority and clearly we’ve delivered here. Combined with outstanding design and driving dynamics, the #epace is every bit a modern #jaguar.

By pairing advanced crash protection with active #safety systems, #epace helps prevent accidents while providing superior passenger #safety in the #event of a collision.

Advanced driver assistance systems available on the #jaguar #epace include:

> Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection: provides an audible forward collision warning and should the driver not take action, applies the brakes to help reduce the severity of a collision or prevent it

> Matrix-Laser LED headlights: use Intelligent High Beam Assist (IHBA) and Adaptive Front Lighting (AFL) to split the main beam into imperceptible vertical strips that maximise the light around oncoming traffic while casting a shadow in front of oncoming vehicles to prevent dazzling

> Lane Keep Assist: detects unintentional lane drift and applies corrective counter-steering to maintain lane position

> Driver Condition Monitor: senses driver fatigue by monitoring steering, brake and accelerator inputs to provide alerts when tiredness is detected

> Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist: automatically reduces speed should the vehicle ahead slow down and, once the road ahead is clear, will resume its pre-set speed

> Pedestrian Airbag: deploys an exterior airbag in the #event of a collision to protect pedestrians and cyclists from contact with the bonnet and windscreen

> Reverse Traffic Monitor: warns the driver of vehicles, pedestrians or other hazards approaching from either side of the vehicle, providing audio and visual alerts

> Blind Spot Assist: alerts the driver to vehicles in, or fast approaching, the blind spot with a flashing warning light and will guide the car safely away if the vehicle begins to change lanes
