SML Frontier Automotive, sole agent of Jaguar and Land Rover (JLR) in Sri Lanka on Wednesday launched the E-Pace, a five-seat compact SUV that packs the design and performance of a Jaguar sports car into a spacious, practical and connected all-wheel-drive vehicle.
The compact SUV was launched at Access Tower II at an exciting evening with the new Rum Punch Spring 18 collection of swimwear with over 300 guests attending the event.
Commenting on the launch, Jaguar Land Rover Regional Training Partner Director Ian Seggar stated: “The launch in Sri Lanka demonstrated a great understanding of the target audience for the E-Pace with the strong lifestyle connection. There was an immense focus on the E-Pace being highlighted as one of the most beautiful SUVs in the market now.”The new Jaguar E-Pace is a five-seat, compact SUV that packs the design and performance of a Jaguar sports car into a spacious, practical and connected all-wheel-drive vehicle. The interiors have calm sanctuary feel, created through elegance, simplicity and a visually reductive approach. The design enabled technology is central to the new E-Pace’s desirability. And of course, it’s a Jaguar with unrivalled capability. The vehicle emotionally charged with the Jaguar DNA and unquestionable design pedigree.
“We at SMLF were very excited about the launch of the Jaguar E-Pace and will always aim to align Sri Lanka with all key Jaguar vehicle launches globally, ensuring our customers get the latest Jaguar vehicles. With the purchase of any Jaguar or Land Rover vehicle we offer our customers the best experience they could possibly have; from the moment they walk into our showroom to our aftersales service,” said SML Frontier Automotive CEO Ravi Perera.
The highly-anticipated new E-Pace made its grand entrance down the catwalk after the exciting and exotic fashion show ‘Tribal Dash’ by Rum Punch. Post the show guests had the chance to be in the driver seat and experience the New Jaguar E-Pace for themselves with an insight into the vehicle with one of SML Frontier’s certified instructors.
“It is our firm belief that we don’t just sell a vehicle, but become part of a lifestyle. To further establish this we partnered with our local Jaguar and Land Rover Owners Club loyalty partner Rum Punch for this event. Together we were able to create a unique launch that embodies a fun and vibrant lifestyle you would have with the Jaguar E-Pace,” stated SML Frontier Automotive Marketing and CRM Manager Tasneem Siddeeque.
