All because of the 70 to 80 km/h speed limit, everyone feels they have the right of way to hog the fastest lane, which is, if you were to read the Highway Code, should only be used for overtaking; hence it causes traffic build up, frustrates you and most time wish you could see who’s the culprit and mentally punch his face 36 different ways.

Jaguar’s here to take a slice of the burgeoning premium small SUV segment with its baby E-Pace; but is it up to the task?


But to me, this ‘middle-class’ fast SUV is already hot enough. For starters, it features a tuned B58 unit, a turbocharged 3.0 liter inline-six engine already found in the M240i. It’s an open rumour that the eventual king-of-the-hill X3 M (if it does go into production) will have an enhanced version of this power-plant.

Aiming to break the existing Production SUV record of 12:35.61, the Bentayga will need to average a minimum 97 km/h up the exceptionally tight and twisty 156-corner course. Pikes Peak represents the next challenge for the Bentayga, following Betley’s tradition of testing its cars in extreme environments that has seen the Continental GT set records of 330 km/h on ice, and over 290 km/h on sand; not forgetting an unmodified Continental GT Speed that tackled a stage of the World Rally Championship.

There's that even spread of torque particularly between 2,000 rpm to 5,000 rpm, making overtaking a cinch. But if you do have the occasional sporting intents, I'm glad to report that you can stretch it all the way to its 6,000 rpm redline with the engine duly gaming on; that said, it tends to sound gruff anywhere past the 4,500 rpm mark.
