- Howard Ritchie goes on and off road in the all new Jaguar E-Pace crossover for 2019, but is it really born to excite the senses?
Jaguar’s first compact SUV is a unique combination of looks, agility and dynamic driving. Testing the 240D AWD with its 9 speed gearbox, we explore two reasons why you should get one and also what to double check before going ahead.

Just took delivery of my E-Pace 2 days ago and 2 days before birthday. Worth the wait and love it! Love it!
Amazing vehicle!! Bought an E Pace last week and it handles like a sportscar, quick and takes turns with extreme ease. A real head turner and Apple Carplay is so nice, i start it up with my iphone in those 20 degree days to be nice and toasty for work. Thumbs up Jaguar, good job! 👍
Great Video Review. I like the Interior of the Jaguar E-Pace particularly the Red Leather Seats
Have a P250 with adaptive dynamics suspension. Combined with amazingly comfortable seats it's as good form a comfort viewpoint as the Cayenne Turbo we used to have. (not quite as fast though - but still quick). Love it. Highly recommend you look for the adaptive suspension if buying secondhand).👍
Just bought one a week ago and I love it.
first time I've thought one of your reviews properly honest
I purchased a 2018 CPO E-Pace 6 months ago and still love it. The comments of the auto shutdown are accurate. It is a real pain when stopping at stop signs with no additional traffic. Initially I felt 246 hp for petrol was a bit weak since I was stepping down from a year old Mustang GT but I have since adjusted. I would not have considered a Jaguar in the past due to family stories on repair costs. With the warranty extension of the CPO with free oil changes, I can feel content that no surprising repair bills will surface for the next 3.5 years. I recommend getting an E-Pace if it checks all of your boxes. I plan on exchanging this for another CPO when the warranty expires. Hopefully they will have a hybrid by then.
I have been leasing an E pace P250 for 2 years now and although it does have flaws I never regret the choice, it is a fun car. I used to be an AUDI car owner, and you would immediately notice the differences in the tech, namely navigation screen software and the automatic gear shifting timing. The Epace is pretty to look at, the Dynamic range has all the options you can think of, my favourite features are the storage space and the sports mode that will transform completely how the car feels and behaves like driving a new car (but watch out for the petrol consumption) Room for improvements: the navigation system and screen need a major design update; I had a few software issues that required visits to the friendly dealership garage (cooling fan, radio, navigation system) which are luckily covered under the warranty and the leasing contract, but these seem to be common issues as I have seen in the Jaguar forums. My friends own a new Volvo SUV, and they by far had much more issues, so I use that as my benchmark. All in all, it's a handsome car with multiple personalities, it is not up to Macan or Q3 technical standards, but I think it is a good leap towards the right direction. FYI the commentator in the video mentioned the higher price of the Macan, but one needs to consider the depreciation value which is much higher with Jaguar versus the German sisters. Will Jag be my next choice when this leasing ends? I will have to make a longer test drive to see if the commonly reported issues have been resolved in the upcoming SUV models. I hope they do because I can see Jag's potential to produce the #1 SUV, and not only the electric version.
The reason why it’s the same weight as the F-pace is because it has a steel chassis, the F-pace is aluminium 👍🏽
Good review, I picked up my 2019 E-Pace last week and I love the beautiful smooth and quiet ride. I chose the Windsor leather and it's gorgeous. All trim is lined up and the 10" display tablet we can add more screens, I created a great home screen with a large clock and my favorite used buttons (Android Auto, navigation, phone etc.). The price for a Jaguar is great and I am sure I will enjoy this beauty for many years to come. I also like InControl (yes, I do like it!) that provides items such as live news, website browsing and a not bad music app (I do use an Android Auto app for music as genres is missing in InControl, but then all but one Android Auto app doesn't have it either). There are 2 USB ports, one for my phone and the other I use with a USB stick where I have a lot of my music, and yes genres is available for the USB stick music app in the car! I am using ECO driving mode to save gas, the engine shuts off at (red) traffic lights and starts rapid fast when my foot goes off the brake pedal and before have a chance to touch the gas pedal.
Do you still love it? Anticipating on buying one
I know everybody has different tastes in styling but to me the back looks original Jag , and the front looks like something from China or Korea 5 years ago and everybody cant deny it does looks like the Suzuki Swift and doesn't look like an upmarket car , also shame it was rushed to get it to the market and made of steel and not aluminum which is understandable as they need to be profitable to survive in the Auto jungle .
I've got one and its Brilliant. Great review and the best thing about the car is its not a boring German exec. Apple play has transformed the crappy infotainment system... got mine updated and it was as if they put a new computer in. Much better. I love its quirky little features like the Jaguar Cub logo and Jaguar print, someone had fun designing this. I also love the way it growls when you put your foot down. Its worth going for the more powerful engines and skip the heads up display... makes my wife feel sick. I'ts a fun car and less slab sided than the F-Pace. I love it more than our old lovely Evoque... or Ewok as we used to call it.
Couldn’t agree more about the infotainment - and used exactly your words (“like a new computer”) a few weeks ago to the garage, when I had the new software downloaded as part of my 12 month service.
What's it like for getting in and out of? My 70 year old dad just ordered one.
I’ve got the P300 r dynamic it’s Fantastic in all respects, I’ve come from a top of the range Evoque.
I prefer the Jaguar
Great video, honest as ever and some lovely cinematography
I have driven a few E Paces and I love them; will get one when my xe contract is over!
I been waiting nearly 9 months for a brand new puma st to arrive an kept getting put forward an changed so cancelled it an ordered a 68 plate jaguar e pace in silver, it's the p200 AWD r-dynamic s with black 20 inch alloys and the cream interior, looks stunning, was checking it out every day for over 2 weeks on the website an ended up putting deposit down a couple of days ago, get it on Friday the 23rd December and can't wait I'm super excited, will take a bit of getting used to going from manual to a 9 speed auto 👌👍
How you getting on with it ?
@@sparkmeister4706 I am absolutely in love with the jaguar e pace, best car I've ever had an just feels so luxurious an special to drive, love driving it and it is quick too in dynamic mode, a real pleasure to drive an I've seen reviews where people say it bobs about an unsettled on road lol, I've got the 20 inch alloys on mine and it's not unsettled at all it's perfect and it corners well too, it looks amazing from every angle and I love the interior too especially the cream white interior perfect car for me and I am going keep this one after 4years PCP finished, will save up the 12400 final payment and buy it 👌👍😁
@@johnwhite2143 sounds great to me.
@@johnwhite2143I also have the creme white interior with black ext, stunning 🙂
I’ve had a P250 R-Dynamic HSE for just over a year, and loved everything about it except the infotainment system, which I hated! I’ve just had the first annual service, and had the new software downloaded (under warranty), which obviously includes Apple CarPlay, and now I love the car 100%
I drive for JLR and have driven all the E-pace variations. The car is comfortable and pleasure to drive, even the base 150 manual is okay
Love the e Pace. Thanks for such a good review. Also great to know apple play can be added to the InControl... :-)
40.000 km since April 2018 on an e Pace P250 HSE. I am still very happy with that car. 👍😀
No issues?
I feel like this is the guys from Carwow
I’ve had my D180 SE R-dynamic E-pace for 3 months now and love it. The few alleged “flaws” suggested in this review are not noticeable or relevant imo.
Yes saw it, wanted it and got it
Thank You! A positive E-Pace review. I have been in a basic one in my nearby dealer and the stitching and leather on the dash is very premium! The plastic around the driver steering wheel and touch screen is not even that noticeable or of poor quality. The only downside is the weight...
Just got my E-Pace yesterday. R-Dynamic S in Yulong white with Windsor red leather interior is gorgeous. This is a great car. I think half the reviewers just parrot the "cheap plastic" phrase .....
I've exchanged my f-type for an e pace as I got a baby. You might think that I'm mad but actually I'm enjoying it almost as the ftype on British roads. I don't understand criticism on the weight, if you like a light four wheel drive you can always buy a Fiat Panda 4x4. Moreover it is the most good looking compact suv in the market, and for me how a car looks it is important
You forgot to mention after 3 years and 24000 miles it's still worth 70% of its original cost. No other small SUV comes even close to that
The car has been on the market for a year and half, how can you know the value after 3 years?
@@Kelveron That's come from the manufacturer and judging by how many people were test driving it's going to end up Jags best seller
@@UzMadBro the E Pace is non electric that's the I Pace
Sold an Evoque after three and a half years and got 68% of my initial outlay back. Won’t be at all surprised if this is similar.
I love my red 2020 E-pace, and so does everyone else! It is exceptional on the open road and very comfortable to drive on long trips. I really can't think of anything I would change about the car. One thing I didn't like is that the car came equipped with Goodyear 235/50/20 tires. All of the tire store size charts call for a 245/45/20, which offers a lot more options. There are only a couple of tires that even come in a 235/50/20, and they are very expensive and suck!! I guess the CEOs of Jaguar and Goodyear had a meeting to select a horrible tire and size that nobody else manufactures??
Best in class!
Another masterclass review
I’ve got one , I changed my E220 CDI AMG for one , what a difference, the Merc wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding , I have the manual D150 and it’s quick great gearbox , keep up with me if you can , only issue has been the Dpf filter , would recommend to anyone but no one near me as I’m the only one with a great looking car here lol
Got mine just before lock down so only doing silly milage but getting 32mpg {8000 in 15 months) I agree with you the ride can be a bit ify but still the best looking compact SUV aroud
We used to drive over more aggressive off road situations with a 1955 Buick...we never got stuck and the car only cost $100.00 !
It's heavy as it's built on the older D8 steel platform as the evoque and Disco sport are. Whereas the larger F-Pace is on the D7a aluminium architecture and so they can be roughly the same weight.
The E-Pace Is Jaguar's best selling Model
I love my E-Pace Dynamic.
I drive my E-Pace now for two years. And overall I'm still happy with it. Even if its very big in width, it is absolutely proper for the city. As it is not that long and you have good support systems, you usually don't need more space than a VW polo. The interior is really nice. It feels worthy and is very comfortable. You can drive long distances without feeling bad.
What annoys me are 3 things.
1. The turbo is starting too abruptly. You can only accelerate like it would have 50 hp, or you push the pedal fully, wait two seconds and it moves like a cat hunting for rabbit. Maybe that could be fixed with the new hybrid versions ins 2021?
2. This point should be fixed with the new platforms, but I have to say, the E pace is to heavy for a modern car, even it is a suv. My 180 hp diesel engine is absolutely enough, but not for a 1900kg car. If the E-Pace wants to be what its exterioral appearance represent, the proportion of weight and power has to be a little bit better. The weight is also not good for the fuel consumption, which is higher than the 3 liter 6 cylinder diesel XY of my father.
3. I really really hope jaguar puts a induction charging system for smartphones in the "face-lift". I mean for real, its embarrassing, that even cheap cars had this feature long before i got my E-Pace. And Jaguar wasn't even offering it at that time.
Hahaha!! I like your comment @4:15 "Impressive bit of off roading there!" Do you not mean an Impressive bit of bumpy lawning?
Great honesty again Mr. R.. But would I ever get one? Nope! Never needed one and a normal saloon, hatch or estate would do me. But if I ever needed to transport stuff off road, I'd just get the missus to carry it for me :-))...
LOL i got one but didn't ask for the activity key, one of your pro-points. Really love the car on the whole. Why do i only watch reviews AFTER i get cars?
I got my E-Pace in March 2018 and I love it 10 out of 10 from me for satisfaction
Driven it for @autoverhaal and it’s an elegant beast! Smooth design and loads of headturners (still). Agreed on the bad points but that doesn’t count much in my humble opinion. :)
It has stiffer suspension so it doesn't become a competitor for the RR Evoque which is made by the same company.
No idea why reviews have been so cool about this car? The R-dynamic SE for the deals and price is great? Instead of thinking of it as (and comparing it to) a family car its more of a stylish sporty option - bachelors, couples and even youthful OAPs! Where some deride the supposedly non-relaxing ride, I thought the very same characteristics made for a positive tight sporty ride, which I liked? When comparing it to others such as the xc40, I should point out that nearly all e-paces are 4x wheel drive!! A small SUV which feels like a bigger SUV, easy to drive (and park) around town and solid on motorways. Its not common, is a luxury brand and made in old blighty. In my opinion, what's not to like?
I LOVE my new E-Pace. Don't care for the looks of the Volvo XC40 and no comparison driving. E-Pace drives like a solid big vehicle in a small package. Its a home run!
I agree Mary. And my D180 feels really zippy for a D SUV. Love the turning circle too. Delighted. Xc40 looks like it could be made by any number of Far Eastern brands and I didn’t like how much it rolled on corners (or the price for the AWD). E-pace is a Perfect balance between motorway soft chair and nippy city car.
The Interior reminds me so much of a Range Rover
Rented one with a friend just yesterday and trying to put the automatic transmission into D kept opening the motor driven tail gate. We never figured out why, so I cannot tell you whether that is a bug or a feature. At some point we managed to get going without the tail gate open......
Bought one last August.
Ups: it's really fun to drive and looks gorgeous, inside and out (subjective, I know)
Downs: poor MPG, crappy infotainment (to say the least)
How poor is your mpg?
I bought the D180 with all the options, electronic suspensions don’t work, comfort or sport stays the same, SUPER stiff, you can’t drive over bumps or your back will suffer.
It shuts off when you stop at roundabouts.
If you arrive at 20-30km/h at a roundabout the automatic gear box won’t decide which gear to select until you are out of the roundabout itself. When you step on the gas, no matter how little, it will try to select a new gear, which takes forever anyway. You simply won’t trust the car to accelerate when you need it.
Infotainment sometimes hangs and you have to turn the car off, open the door and then turn the car on again.
When you get into the car it will start playing music without your consent from all kinds of sources: radio, UA-cam on your phone, Spotify and so on. You can’t stop this from happening.
Very strange that you report poor fuel economy? Our 240 D uses less fuel than our 2017 Evoque 150D. We get 5.6 L per 100Km on a run and even around town we're getting 6.4L per 100 Kms. 😊 We love ours, with the exception of the omission of a screen washer fluid low warning ⚠️😮
eh can you explain why you prefer it to the f-pace please?
Im looking to buy Epace but 2018 . I hope it will also have android connection 😂.
Im was lucky with my Mazda6 i bought android radio display and i can even watch Netflix on it at this moment . Anything. I guess this ones didn't have the option to download the apps
Just put a deposit down on a P250 R-dynamic SE to be delievered next year. Just wondered if its worth adding as an option the adaptive dynamic at just over £800, is it going to make a big difference to the cars ride ?
YES! a bit late I know! Did you go for it? Me P250 R Dynamic has it and it's great.
the epace is smaller than the fpace but weighs MORE than the fpace as the epace is built on the chassis from a range rover evoque, whilst the fpace has a much newer and lighter alloy chassis
steel (heavier) chassis = better off-road performance. That's why Range rovers use em.
Good review, I’ve test driven the e-pace and it’s competitors (August 2020) and ended up buying the Jaguar E-pace Chequered Flag - no contest.
I've just got one and it's better than this review says it is!
Just drove my new E-Pace R-Dynamic S home yesterday and took a 2 hour road trip in my neighboring mountains. I LOVE this car. Soo tired of all the BMW and Audis and Lexus' on the road. I've got the only Jag CUV in town.
I'm planning to buy a e-pace but I don't know if its the right one.. Because in italy its like 50k euro, but stelvio is 40k euro for 280cv.. And more space for the kids. The only thing that I don't like about stelvio is the interior... It has a cheep feeling. I don't know witch one to pick... 😂😂
I love my old gtv, now I have a nice evoque very good car and I change to e pace modern features good looking.
Weighs more because the structure is made of steel instead of aluminum (the F-Pace and I-Pace).
Can the start stop engine option be Turned off?
Ofc they can.
If i remember correctly it is on the lift side under the steering wheel (other way around for cars in UK)
Does the activity key come with the car or do you need to pay extra?
Extra but not too much.
You look like Mat watson
👍💡
I am the CEO of jaguar in stellenbosh
Damn, and here’s me thinking a new Mini Cooper s or a nearly new e pace 🤦🏻♂️😬
i actually have a fully loaded fpace and would not get an epace
It is heavier because it is not alluminium like the F Pace!
No doubt fpace is a grt car but backseats r claustrophobic
E pace is steel F pace is aluminium
E-pace is better off road. Same steel as in the discovery sport. 10% stiffer too.
Ridiculous that a 6’ driver can’t sit behind himself in an SUV. I want to buy the Jaguar, but am reluctantly being shoehorned into the Volvo XC40 which has this problem nailed in a smaller car.
rust dum. Those rings seem too big gl with hovers and you cant off road with that big wheel ring.
The F Pace is just so much better of a vehicle than this chic E Pace. I'd just spend more and get the F Pace personally. RWD based means alot in my book
Why do jags always have rubbish rear leg room?
They dont. What is your point?
It is not the best looking SUVVY...too bland front & back..bland like the teutonics..Alfa's Stelvio has much more style..& a better engine!
Swap the badge with a Kia and nobody would know. Jaguar have gone too far downmarket. People used to aspire to owning a Jag. Now they are in the same price segment as Japanese and Korean cars and not as well built.
LOOL man I bought an F-Pace in 2016 when it was brand new and I bought it because was the best SUV on the market (better than the old Q5, the merc GLC, etc.) The only problem I had was that it was 4000 euro more expensive than the Merc. You are wrong, Jaguar doesn't have the scale of BMW and Audi and that's why they are 5-10% more expensive.
Long story short: Jaguar completely missed the point with this car, it’s a pity. And what can we say about the price? Try to config a car with the same specs of the one in this video...No, there are plenty of better alternatives...
Missed the point in what way?
eastwood978 Weight as an Fpace and it’s not as confy nor sporty; interior is quite “cheap” feeling unless you upgrade it spending quite a lot...and still it lacks quality (plastics are generally poor); in my opinion, it seems like it’s a 10y old car....and it’s partially correct considering that it’s based on the old Evoque platform. And it’s a shame, I was very interested in buying it...but no, thanks. One last thing: people say that it holds in value since it’s a Jaguar...well, you can find an year old First edition (180 awd diesel) with less than 10.000 kms for 45.000 euro... 😔
SO EXPENSIVE AND IT DOES NOT HAVE A SUNROOF
no thanks if I wanted ford fiesta plastics I would buy a ford fiesta
Mmmmm,,problem is,,it’s still a jag,! 🤮🤮🤮☠️☠️
Poorly built with cheap components, but charging premium prices. Average interior again using some pretty cheap components. Panel gaps are huge and misaligned, you can see the car in the vide has panels way out of alignment. Jaguar are a company that are essentially dead, 20 years time they will be gone.
What are you, a remain voting snowflake? JLR will be around in 50 years time because some of us are patriotic and in surveys they do no worse than BMW or Mercedes!
Rubbish its a beautiful car bet youve nt gt one
Good looking and reliability is good.
It's wider than it looks unfortunately 😢 it's cost me over a grand for a roller shutter door 😂😂😂
