Hi, I ordered a new E-Pace on the 14th of December and have a couple of questions for you all. First is average delivery time. My salesperson gave me a tentative date of 13 March, which I suppose is the standard three month estimate for build from order. What has been your experience with wait time for delivery?

Second is build location. Are they currently building E-Paces in China and if so are the Chinese builds destined solely for the Asian market and the Austrian built E-Paces are for the rest of the world?

Many thanks,

Ray

Mine was ordered on the 7th of October as a company vehicle through Arnold Clark Vehicle Management, poverty spec base model 150d manual with the only option being Borasco grey paint. Update this morning is that delivery is imminent as the car should arrive in the UK shortly. Assuming next week at the earliest that would be around 15 weeks. Admittedly, Arnold Clark may have sat on the order for a week or so before submitting so 3 months is probably about right.
As to build location, my understanding is China built for Asian market and Austria built for everywhere else.

OK, many thanks for your reply. That gives me a good yardstick for mine.

Ordered my D180 Cheq Flag on 30th November from Parks Jaguar for beginning March delivery. The sales guy said that was the norm and if I wanted a 20 reg to order before end of November.

Another good data point, thanks for that. I'd be very interested to know when it actually arrives at your dealer. I was really hoping to get mine before mid March, but from what I've seen here, more like the end of March.

That's very helpful and encouraging. If yours was ordered on the 18th of October and was in the UK on the 17th of December, that's just over 8 weeks from order to arrival in the UK and then just over 3 weeks to delivery with the xmas holidays in between, I'm more hopeful for mid-March for mine.

How are you liking it and what did it replace?

Replaced a 2010 Range Rover sport I had from new .

Arrived today, from the paperwork in the car looks like a build date of 12th December and registered on the 30th January.

Wow, very nice. Thanks for sharing your experience and photos. My salesman is telling me that the revised ETA is the 28th of this month! I told him might as well wait until the first for the 20 plate if it's going to be that close.

 

[rayquayle]

My dealer just emailed me that my E-Pace will arrive on the 21st and I'm scheduling pick up on the 24th. I'm leasing, so not concerned about waiting until the 1st for a 20 plate.

Many thanks to all that posted their experiences.

I'm sure you'll love it!

Picked her up today. So far, I'm liking what I see. The animated indicators were initially switched off, but I like to check everything before I leave the dealer. Once turned on, the near side is animated, but the off side is not. Only fault I could find, so pretty happy. All in all it took just under 11 weeks from order to delivery.

Very nice! Corris grey?

Yes, I'm really happy with it being as I'd not actually seen Corris Grey in the flesh until today.

Hi, I ordered a new E-Pace on the 01st March and due to Covid-19 situation the order was put on hold. I got the update last week that the car will be built by 22nd June (In Austria) and should be available for delivery by 1st week of July tentatively.

Does this wait time seems realistic. What has been your experience with wait time for delivery.

Thanks
