Just the other day, we caught our first glimpse of the Jaguar E-Pace’s interior, and now the British brand is sharing its first official information about its new subcompact SUV. For instance, we now know that the shapely crossover will go on sale early next year with a base price of $ 39,595—$ 3465 cheaper than the bigger Jaguar F-Pace.

And while we’re still left to speculate that the E-Pace will share the front-drive-based platform used by the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque, Jaguar notes that the model will come to the U.S. market with standard all-wheel drive. It also will be motivated by Jaguar Land Rover’s new family of Ingenium four-cylinder engines. Expected to share its 2.0-liter displacement with the engines found elsewhere in the lineup, the turbocharged inline-four is likely to be offered in two power outputs: a standard version making in the neighborhood of 240 horsepower and a high-performance version at or around 290 horsepower. So far, there’s no talk of a diesel option, as in the XE sedan. While the E-Pace’s Jaguar siblings send their torque to the wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, the E-Pace is anticipated to use the nine-speed unit currently employed by the Evoque and the Discovery Sport.
