After the introduction of the F-Pace back in 2016, Jaguar’s latest SUV – the E-Pace – is looking to capitalise on the success of its larger sibling, which was lauded by the motoring press.
With its compact outlay and dynamic underpinnings, the E-Pace has all the ingredients to be an excellent option in the premium compact market.
Here is why the E-Pace is bound to be a success…
Packed with tech
Most people nowadays are looking for a vehicle that has lots of great technology features and safety systems to offer, and the E-Pace undoubtedly offers both of those. The 10-inch Touch Pro infotainment display and 12.3-inch interactive driver display combine to provide all the information you’ll need while you’re on the move, and the E-Pace also includes a head-up display that shows your speed and directions from your satellite navigation.
You can also include a Wi-Fi hotspot, Meridian sound system and efficiency technologies so you can save fuel. Safety systems are also plentiful as you get emergency braking, lane keep assist, driver condition monitor, cruise control with speed limiter, parking sensors and rear-view camera all as standard – with more advanced features on offer as optional extras.

Efficient engine line-up
The E-Pace is the first Jaguar Land Rover model to be offered with only the firm’s latest Ingenium petrol and diesel engines – which have been engineered to be as lightweight as possible and help improve efficiency. With the diesel engines capable of 60.1mpg and the 295bhp top-end petrol engine offering solid returns compared to its impressive performance, the E-Pace has good engine options throughout and all are available with all-wheel drive.
Attractive looks
After the F-Pace set the template for Jaguar’s future SUV models, the E-Pace has carried the same character across in a more compact form. With sporty lines, the instantly-recognisable Jaguar grille and inlets and sharp LED lighting details, the E-Pace looks dynamic and is one of the more appealing options in the compact SUV segment.
Good to drive
The E-Pace has plenty of dynamic features to make it good to drive in any condition. Thanks to all-wheel drive, the active driveline setup, all-surface progress control and configurable dynamics, you can find the settings to suit you and the situation you’re in. The adaptive dynamics system helps you alter the suspension setup and driving feel, while the Jaguar Drive Control system alters the throttle mapping and steering weight so you can feel comfortable tackling most conditions.
Affordable pricing
Starting from £28,545, the E-Pace fits well into the premium compact SUV market as one of the more affordable options. Considering all of the equipment you get with it and the practicality it has to offer, the E-Pace is a worthy option in the SUV segment, and with all of the brand’s heritage and expertise, the model is expected to be as successful as its larger sibling.
