MAGNA ADDS NEW JAGUAR E-PACE TO CONTRACT MANUFACTURING LINE-UP

As SUVs continue strong sales in markets around the world -- crossovers and SUVs grew to almost 29 per cent of all sales globally in 2016 -- automakers are launching new models to meet demand. This includes Jaguar Land Rover, which announced yesterday that its Jaguar E-Pace compact SUV will be built by Magna International Inc. at its contract vehicle manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria.

E-Pace production is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2017. It is the second model Magna will contract manufacture for Jaguar, following the announcement of the Jaguar I-Pace in December, 2016. Production of the I-Pace is planned to start in the first quarter of 2018.

"We are proud to expand our partnership with Jaguar Land Rover and contribute to their new E-Pace compact SUV," said Gunther Apfalter, president of Magna Europe and Magna Steyr. "This second collaboration in just a short time emphasizes the agility and flexibility we provide automakers with our contract manufacturing capability."

Including the Jaguar E-Pace, Magna will be manufacturing five different models by the first quarter of 2018. The others are Jaguar I-Pace, BMW 5 Series, BMW 530e plug-in hybrid and Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
