This result continues to affirm Jaguar’s commitment to engineering the safest SUVs in the world plus bolsters the image of the E and F-Pace SUVs, which have also achieved the 5-star rating.
Its ultra-lightweight aluminium body structure ensures high levels of structural rigidity when combined with the integral battery pack. It’s protected by a structural aluminium frame and delivers unmatched chassis stiffness.
Highlights of the body design include industry-first use of aluminium forgings, and Jaguar-first applications of post-form heat treatment to increase the strength of the aluminium alloys used in crash-critical areas.
