Jaguar E-Pace (2017-2024) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Decent handling	Overly firm ride
Stylish design	Reliability concerns
Good standard equipment	Interior quality not what you'd expect

Quick Summary

The Jaguar E-Pace (2017-2024) is a premium compact SUV designed to blend the brand's sporting heritage with family-friendly practicality. As a rival to the Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Volvo XC40, it boasts a stylish exterior and a well-equipped, comfortable cabin. Practicality is a strong point, with generous space for passengers and a large boot capacity of 577 litres (or 601 litres in post-2021 models), surpassing many key competitors. However, while the interior looks smart, some of the materials used don't feel as premium as those in rival cars.

Marketed as a sporty SUV, the E-Pace's driving experience is mixed. The handling is composed, but the ride is overly firm, particularly on larger wheels, and it doesn’t feel as agile as other Jaguar models. A range of 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines were offered, with later models introducing a plug-in hybrid. Running costs can be high, with petrol models struggling to exceed 30mpg. While early cars missed out on Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, models from late 2020 feature a much-improved Pivi Pro infotainment system. It's a handsome and practical choice, but one that is ultimately outshone by more talented rivals.

Best for: Buyers who prioritise stylish design, the appeal of the Jaguar badge, and generous boot space in a compact SUV package.

Not ideal for: Those seeking a cosseting, comfortable ride, the highest level of interior quality, or the most engaging driving dynamics in its class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the E-Pace if: You are drawn to its stylish looks and the prestige of the Jaguar badge, and you require the excellent practicality offered by its large boot.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a comfortable ride, superior interior quality, or a more rewarding driving experience, as rivals often perform better in these areas.

Competitive Position: The Jaguar E-Pace is a visually appealing and practical option in the crowded premium compact SUV segment. It stands out with its desirable badge and generous standard equipment. However, it is let down by a firm ride and an interior that doesn't quite match the quality of class leaders like the Audi Q3. While it's a competent car, it fails to excel in any one area, making it a choice of the heart over the head when compared to more well-rounded alternatives.
