Jaguar E-Pace Review 2024

Jaguar E-Pace At A Glance

3/5
Honest John Overall Rating
The Jaguar E-Pace is a stylish SUV that's recently been improved with hybrid engines and fresh infotainment. It's still an expensive choice, though, and the interior isn't as impressive as a Volvo XC40's.

+Sporty little SUV. Plug-in hybrid P300e can travel up to 38 miles under electric power alone. Much improved infotainment system from 2021.

-Surprisingly expensive to buy. Interior doesn't feel as plush or as spacious as rivals. Petrol models will cost a lot to run.

New prices start from £40,010
Insurance Groups are between 28–42
On average it achieves 81% of the official MPG figure

The Jaguar E-Pace is a stylish small SUV that now shares a platform with the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque. It's been given quite a heavy mid-life facelift to make it more competitive against cars like the BMW X2, Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40 – but is it enough to justify its high price tag? Read on for our full Jaguar E-Pace review to find out more.

One of the most significant updates in 2021 for theJaguar E-Pace was the addition of a new flagship plug-in hybrid model badged the Jaguar E-Pace P300e. This combines a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo engine with a 108PS electric motor on the rear axle and a 15kWh battery, giving it an electric range of up to 38 miles.

The PHEV is also the quickest Jaguar E-Pace in the range, although it doesn't feel quite as sprightly as its combined 309PS and 6.5 second 0-62mph time suggests. It's a sportier choice than a Volvo XC40, though, with sharp steering and a relatively firm suspension setup.

If you're not ready to splash a serious amount of money on a plug-in hybrid, you can still buy a Jaguar E-Pace with a conventional petrol or diesel engine 2.0-litre units. All come with automatic gearboxes and four-wheel drive. You can also have the P160 model that uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine with, you've guessed it, 160PS and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The P160 sticks with front-wheel drive, however.

Every Jaguar E-Pace model is now badged R-Dynamic, which comes with desirable tech and some snazzy exterior highlights. You can also opt for one of the option packs (S, SE Black and HSE Black) allowing you to pick and choose desirable features.

The cabin has a clean, uncluttered design although – on pre-facelift models (that's those sold before 2021) – it wasn't quite up to the standard you'd expect for a premium SUV.

A new infotainment system was added to the E-Pace in 2021. With its 11.4-inch touchscreen display, this is much better than the older 10-inch system, which wasn't the most user-friendly. The later system comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, too, allowing you access to your phone's apps through the car's media display.

The latest updates mean the Jaguar E-Pace is easier to recommend than before, although we still think a Volvo XC40 does the whole 'non-German small SUV' thing better. You may also wish to look at the Lexus UX – which is also sold as an electric vehicle and is likely to be more dependable on the reliability front than the Jaguar E-Pace.

Jaguar E-Pace handling and engines

Driving Rating
The Jaguar E-Pace is meant to be a sporty choice, but it struggles to hide its weight in the corners. It's not particularly comfortable, either, but its decent towing capacity will appeal to caravanners.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Handling and ride quality

The Jaguar E-Pace is marketed as a sporty choice in the world of small premium SUVs. In truth, though, it's quite big and heavy, which means it simply isn't as agile as something like a BMW X2. You'll notice it leaning quite a lot on twisty roads, although the communicative steering will give you the confidence to press on. Most models feature four-wheel drive, so there's plenty of grip on offer. That's a good thing if you regularly drive in rural areas or live somewhere that gets hit hard by sub-zero temperatures.

All E-Pace models we've driven have been fitted with fairly bulky alloy wheels, and that's not a great thing for ride quality. You'll notice bumps in the road, and even the optional adaptive suspension doesn't seem to make a huge difference. If comfort's a priority, look at the Volvo XC40 instead.

Rearwards visibility is pretty poor but, that aside, the E-Pace is perfectly easy to drive around town. It's much smaller than the F-Pace, so slotting it into tight parking spaces doesn't pose too much of an issue. All models come with a reversing camera, as well as parking sensors front and back.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Engines

The E-Pace engine line-up features the usual mix of 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. All use an eight-speed automatic gearbox, with Jaguar ditching the manual option some time ago. The P160 and P250 petrol models feature mild hybrid assistance, while the P300e is a full plug-in hybrid.

Diesels might be out of fashion but we rate it in the E-Pace for a mix of gruntiness and economy. The D200 happily covers a lot of motorway miles and can tow a caravan; its 204PS output (and 430Nm of torque) means it'll cover 0-62mph in 8.4 seconds – brisk enough for a car like this.

Then there's the E-Pace P300e plug-in hybrid. This uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine combined with an electric motor, and it's the quickest of the lot. It'll transition smoothly between petrol and electric power, surging to 62mph in as little as 6.5 seconds when required. It's great for building up speed on motorway slip roads or making the most of overtaking opportunities.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Safety

As you'd expect from a premium SUV like the E-Pace, the baby Jag's loaded with kit intended to prevent a crash. There's an emergency braking system as standard across the range (ready to apply the brakes if it detects an impending collision), while Lane Keep Assist will nudge your steering if you start to stray from your lane. There's a whole host of airbags, while Isofix points on the outer rear seats helps with fitting child seats.

Buy one with the S specification pack and you'll get Traffic Sign Recognition and Adaptive Speed Limiter, while the SE Black adds Blind Spot Assist, and Rear Traffic and Collision Monitors. Every E-Pace comes with adaptive cruise control, too.

When Euro NCAP crash tested the Jaguar E-Pace in 2017, it was awarded a maximum five-star safety rating. This includes an impressive 86 per cent score for adult occupants, and 87 per cent for children.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Towing

Thanks to its hefty weight and four-wheel drive as standard across most of the range, the Jaguar E-Pace makes a decent tow car. The D200 can tow the most, with an official braked towing capacity of up to 2000kg. The P250 can lug up to 1800kg, while the P300e is rated to tow up to 1600kg. Jaguar does not quote any figures for the front-wheel drive P160.

Jaguar E-Pace interior

Interior Rating
Jaguar's tried to make the E-Pace feel like a sports car with mixed results. It feels quite claustrophobic inside, and there are too many below-par plastics for our liking. Still, the latest Pivi Pro media system is pretty impressive.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Practicality

For an SUV, the Jaguar E-Pace actually feels quite small and claustrophobic inside. It's meant to give off a sporty vibe, like an F-Type, but the cabin just feels a bit dark and unpleasant compared to, say, a Volvo XC40. That's surprising as you do actually sit fairly high up compared to alternatives like the BMW X1 and X2.

There's a reasonable amount of room up front and plenty of storage for your odds and ends. Things aren't so great in the back, where legroom isn't particularly generous and three adults sat side-by-side will be rubbing shoulders.

Jaguar says the E-Pace can carry up to 494 litres of luggage, or 1170 with the back seats folded down. The E-Pace's boot actually has less useable space than most rivals, while the high lip means it's not all that accessible.

Of course, if you need more space, you can drop the rear seats easily enough. The latest models split 40:20:40, leaving an almost-flat surface when dropped. That's very useful if you plan to carry big objects.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Quality and finish

Your perception of the Jaguar E-Pace's interior might depend on your expectations. We jumped into it after driving the bigger, pricier F-Pace and it felt noticeably downmarket by comparison. You might expect that to be the case, but the Volvo XC40 doesn't feel like a budget XC60; nor does the Mercedes GLA feel like a pound-shop GLC. We reckon the Range Rover Evoque has a better finish, too.

If you're trading up from a mainstream competitor like the Skoda Karoq, though, you might find the E-Pace's interior to be more than plush enough. You'll find plenty of soft-touch leather swathed around the cabin, while the plastic (although a bit too widespread) feels soft to touch.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Infotainment

If you want the latest technology, the Pivi Pro media system is standard on all E-Pace models and is leagues ahead of the old system. It uses an 11.4-inch display featuring sharp graphics and lightning quick responses. Smartphone integration in the form of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, too - so you can stream your Spotify soundtrack or navigate using Waze without having to use your phone.

Whichever E-Pace you choose, you'll get an interactive driver display in place of analogue dials behind the steering wheel. Just like the premium media system, this is brilliant, with sharp, clear graphics displaying everything you could possibly need. For the ultimate in in-car entertainment, look for a model with the premium Meridian sound system., which means skipping the base S trim.

Jaguar E-Pace value for money

Value for Money Rating
The Jaguar E-Pace is quite an expensive choice, even when compared to other premium small SUVs. It won't be cheap to run, either, with petrol models being particularly thirsty.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Prices

You could never accuse Jaguar of not offering sufficient choice to E-Pace customers. All four engines are available with any of the three trims available. Least pricey for upfront costs as a way into E-Pace ownership is the P160 petrol model with its 1.5-litre engine and front-wheel drive. An R-Dynamic S costs from £42,605, with the SE Black and HSE Black versions starting at £45,185 and £47,425, respectively.

To move up the petrol scale, you come to the P250 with its 2.0-litre engine, with an S costing from £45,310 and an SE Black from £47,890. The HSE Black model has a showroom price of £50,130.

Switching to the diesel-powered D200 model of E-Pace, you’ll pay from £43,125 for the S, while the SE Black is £45,705 and the HSE Black begins at £48,305.

Moving power sources again, we come to the P300e plug-in hybrid model, with the S starting at £49,440. The SE Black gets out of the blocks at £52,020 and the HSE Black goes from £54,260.

You can soon increase these figures with the various options on offer from Jaguar, but the company also offers a number of finance deals to lessen the blow with monthly payments in place of an all up-front price.

A three-year old E-Pace with diesel engine and front-wheel drive, with 45,000 miles on the clock, will set you back around £22,000 in R-Dynamic trim.

Jaguar E-Pace 2024: Running Costs

The Jaguar E-Pace isn't particularly competitive in the running costs stakes. Four-wheel-drive, automatic gearboxes and petrol power aren't a great combination for running costs – with even the relatively sensible P160 model managing a combined figure of only 35.8mpg. The P250 offers a best of 32.7mpg.

For those driving longer distances on a routine basis, the D200 turbodiesel will make more sense as it can provide an official combined figure of up to 44.5mpg in the R-Dynamic S model.

The 197mpg best figure of the P300e sounds almost unbelievable. Just like all plug-in hybrids, it's heavily dependent on how it's driven. It can travel for up to 38 miles under electric power alone – which is impressive, and far enough to cover a short commute or the school run. Keep it topped up with electricity and it'll barely use any fuel at all.

Fuel costs aside, the Jaguar E-Pace will also makes demands on your wallet when it comes to VED, or road tax as it's more commonly known. With carbon dioxide emissions for the petrol and diesel models sitting anywhere from 166- to 200g/km, you'll be looking at first year road tax of between £645 and £1565 depending on the model you pick. At least the P300e hybrid does its bit to lessen the blow with emissions of 32-33g/km, meaning road tax of £10 in the first year and £180 for each year after that.

Model History

July 2017

Jaguar unveils E-Pace

Digital connectivity can be found throughout the cabin, ready for every need of the modern family. There are up to four 12-volt charging points and five USB connections as well as a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot for up to eight devices.

The E-Pace has exceptional interior space for a vehicle in this class. The compact SUV is 4,395mm long with short front and rear overhangs of 882mm and 832mm respectively. Its 2,681mm wheelbase seats five in comfort and yields a generous rear legroom of 892mm while the large luggage capacity of 577 litres is made possible by the car’s sophisticated Integral Link rear suspension.

Standard wheel and tyresize is 17-inch wheels with 225/65 R17 tyres.

New chassis hardware developed for the E-Pace maximises interior space while also providing the strong foundations for the vehicle’s impressive all-surface dynamic capabilities. The Integral Link rear suspension layout has allowed Jaguar’s engineers to deliver the responsiveness and agility required without compromising ride comfort.

Configurable Dynamics gives the driver even more control with individual settings for the throttle, automatic transmission, steering and, where fitted, the Adaptive Dynamics suspension system. The Adaptive Dynamics set-up senses driver input, body and wheel movements and pre-emptively loads the suspension and chassis and adjusts the damping for improved roll control and agility in all conditions. As a result, the E-Pace delivers all the space young families need with all the character of a true Jaguar sports car.

Under the bonnet, E-Pace features a choice of efficient yet powerful Ingenium petrol and diesel engines. The 300PS Ingenium petrol turbo engine powers E-Pace from 0-60mph in just 5.9 seconds before reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 151mph. For customers who want the ultimate efficiency, the front-wheel drive 150PS Ingenium diesel delivers CO 2 emissions of 124g/km.

June 2018

Petrol 200PS engine added to E-Pace line-up

The E-Pace is now available with Jaguar Land Rover’s 200PS 2.0 litre four-cylinder turbocharged Ingenium petrol engine for the first time, priced from £33,260.

The 200PS model does 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds, delivering official fuel economy of 34.4mpg and CO2 emissions of 186 g/km.

The E-Pace also now features Jaguar’s self-learning technology, Smart Settings. This learns the driver’s habits and anticipates their needs to make their life easier.

The Jaguar E-Pace recognises the approaching driver, based on both a key fob and smartphone Bluetooth signal. The vehicle will then adjust the seat, climate and infotainment system based on the driver’s normal preference.

Over time, algorithms tailor settings based on time, location, weather and behaviour patterns – for example, pre-heating the steering wheel and seats on a cold day, or changing the media source on a particular day of the week or time of day. Up to eight profiles can be set up on the Jaguar E-PACE, making it a worthwhile offering for fleets users and those who share their vehicle.

The Intelligent Phone Reminder function will also tell the driver if they forget their smartphone, while the Predictive Call List learns patterns of phone use to cue up popular contacts at the appropriate time.

January 2019

Black Edition announced

Black Editions are available across five Jaguar models: XE, XF, XF Sportbrake, E-Pace, F-Type and F-Pace. All Black Edition cars come fitted as standard with black alloy wheels, Black Pack, Privacy Glass and metallic paint – in a choice of colours – as standard.

October 2020

Jaguar E-Pace updated with plug-in hybrid power

Features a refreshed exterior, enhanced interior, the latest Pivi Pro infotainment, new vehicle architecture and a choice of powerful and efficient engines – including an advanced Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) powertrain.

Inside, customers benefit from the latest Pivi Pro infotainment, which provides intuitive control of the vehicle systems with simplified menus and enhanced connectivity, including Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) updates.

Exterior updates include a new mesh grille and revised bumpers, along with new LED headlights. In sporty R-Dynamic spec, the updates E-Pace features sporty exterior highlights, while all models are available with an additional Black Exterior Pack.

The new engine line-up comprises:

Diesel

  • 163PS 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, six-speed manual, FWD
  • 163PS MHEV 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, nine-speed automatic, AWD
  • 204PS MHEV 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, nine-speed automatic, AWD

Petrol

  • 200PS MHEV 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, nine-speed automatic, AWD
  • 249PS MHEV 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, nine-speed automatic, AWD
  • 300PS MHEV 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, nine-speed automatic, AWD
  • 309PS PHEV 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbo, eight-speed automatic, AWD

The advanced 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine is the latest member of the modular, flexible Ingenium engine family, and is available in E-PACE with PHEV technology.

The lightweight new aluminium engine – 33kg lighter than the four-cylinder – delivers strong performance and refinement with low levels of friction which contribute to excellent efficiency and fuel consumption. The exhaust manifold is integrated into the aluminium cylinder head, this contributes to the rapid warm-up times and minimises the distance from the exhaust ports to the turbocharger’s turbine wheel for improved responses.

The new P300e PHEV powertrain combines the 200PS 1.5-litre three-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine and a 109PS (80kW) Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) motor. This ensures impressive performance and efficiency, with 0-60mph in 6.1seconds, CO 2 emissions of 44g/km and fuel economy up to 141mpg (WLTP TEH combined).

The compact ERAD motor is powered by a 15kWh lithium-ion battery located under the boot floor. When fully charged it provides up to 34 miles of all-electric range, enabling the new E-PACE PHEV to complete the average UK daily commute, to and from work, of 18.8 miles in EV mode without requiring a recharge.

On the four-cylinder petrol and diesels, the MHEV system uses a Belt integrated Starter Generator (BiSG) in the engine bay to harvest energy usually lost when slowing and braking, which is then stored in a 48V lithium-ion battery located beneath the rear loadspace. It is able to redeploy the stored energy to assist the engine when accelerating and delivers a more refined and responsive stop/start system.

The new E-PACE is also available with the next-generation 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium diesel and the latest 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol powertrains, paired with MHEV technology, AWD and nine-speed automatic transmissions.

The 163PS 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel MHEV produces 380Nm, with CO 2 emissions from 167g/km and fuel economy up to 44.3mpg. The 204PS MHEV produces 430 Nm and is capable of covering 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds while returning up to 43.9mpg with CO 2 emissions from 169g/km.

Also available in six-speed manual transmission, FWD-only form is a 163PS 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel non-MHEV engine with CO 2 emissions from 158g/km and fuel economy up to 46.9mpg.

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine is available in three power outputs, all featuring MHEV technology. The 200PS version produces 320Nm of torque and will complete 0-60mph in up to 8.0 seconds, while the 249PS, 365Nm powertrain will complete the same 0-60mph benchmark in up to 7.0 seconds.

Heading up the petrol engine range is the 300PS variant. Available exclusively in the 300 SPORT, it produces 400Nm of torque delivering 0-60mph in 6.6 seconds.

The updated Jaguar E-Pace is available to order now.

May 2021

Jaguar E-Pace R-Dynamic Black Edition announced

The distinctive new R-Dynamic Black Edition is based on the E-Pace R-Dynamic S.

The design includes Gloss Black door mirror caps and Gloss Black detailing to the front bumper and lower grille surround, main grille surround and grille tips. The side window surround and side vent – complete with the Jaguar leaper – also feature a Gloss Black finish, along with the Jaguar script and rear badging. Distinctive 19-inch Satin Grey alloy wheels with contrasting red brake calipers, privacy glass and a panoramic roof complete the exterior.

The R-Dynamic Black Edition is available with all E-Pace exterior colours, including new Ostuni White.

Inside, the R-Dynamic Black Edition delivers heightened luxury, enhanced connectivity and greater refinement. The focal point of the new interior design is the curved 11.4-inch HD touchscreen integrated into the central instrument panel.

The large touchscreen operates the intuitive Pivi Pro infotainment system, which provides greater clarity and allows the driver to carry out 90 per cent of common tasks within two taps from the home screen thanks to its simplified menu structure.

The latest addition to the E-PACE family is available with a choice of 2.0-litre Ingenium MHEV powertrains, ranging from the efficient D165 and D200 diesels to the smooth and powerful P200 petrol – all with a nine-speed automatic transmission and All-Wheel Drive as standard.
