I honestly, really, really, love your car reviews. I look at your reviews first because they feel more real than other reviewers, thinking about things that actually matter to normal people, thanks and keep it up :)
This guy is so beholden to the German manufacturers ! Makes it impossible to consider his views anywhere near impartial. I've owned BMW's , Jaguars , Land Rovers and Mercedes. 8 times out of 10 the Jags and Landys offer better value for money and superior fit and finish. Especially when benchmarked to BMW.
The 250hp base version costs as much as the bmw x1 20i 190hp base configuration plus the jaguar is better equipped so it's considerably cheaper than the x1. The 25i x1 is like 7k more expensive than the p250 for example and still has a less performant engine. So this p250 looks interesting and the base model is also acceptable well equipped or perhaps few little extra optionals can be added.
Ordered E Pace Chequered Flag P200 3 weeks ago saved £4000 with carwow discount thank you. After having a good look around at the latest BMW, Audi, Mercedes. And was considering another Evoque but expensive compared with the spec on the Chequered Flag. My brother said his P240 is one of the best cars has ever had,, and his weekend car is a Aston Martin Vantage. So taken his advice and hopefully it will be good for me.
A true petrol-head e class is already a known thing this isn’t, just think e pace sounds like an electric Model of a “pace” if that was a thing, where I pace this just mostly meaning less just doing it because of bmw i3 i8 who most likely did it because of Apple who did it to mean internet
Its simple: XF sedan, Fpace SUV XE sedan Epace SUV XJ sedan JPace SUV (still being developed) I think the only people who are confused are those that take less than 15seconds to work it out.
If you are even remotely interested in EVs then you already know it is the iPace. If you are even remotely interested in a small Jaguar SUV then you will take 5 secs to work out it is the ePace. I dont see any confusion or inconstency. And with some companies car name being virtually incomprehesible and sometimes unpronouncable this seems a pretty small mountain to cross. Im not really enamoured by EVs anyhow. I like to drive and like to go substantial distance and I dont want refuelling to be any kind of limit to when and where I go and it isnt. EVs however are extremely limited in that regard.
I've had one of these for a week now (Rental while my Focus ST-3 is repaired, apparently this is their idea of a like for like replacement lol) While I agree that the drive is nothing to shout about, it is acceptable for its intended use. It's comfortable and easy to drive and the leather interior on this is beautiful imo. I prefer Hot hatches and saloons, but if somebody gave me one of these tomorrow, I really wouldn't complain.....
I had to watch the video twice to see if Matt's dog was real or fake, turns out the dog is real and not a stuffed animal. As for the electric tow bar, this is a brilliant piece of engineering and should get some kind of an award for functionality as well as pleasing the ladies in terms of the potential it offers, great review overall.
So it's based on the Evoque, which is based on the old Land Rover Freelander 2. Damn, that's one old new car Jaguar have there, no wonder it weighs so much.
I was desperately waiting for this review Matt! It's a coincidence that I got offers just today fir E Pace through Carwow and was just waiting for this review to decide :)
Dorifuto11 I think it's because as their large saloon is the XF their large SUV is the F pace and their small saloon is the XE so their small SUV is the E Pace
@Konstantin Ridaya How does it make less sense?. They have 3 sizes E, F, and J. Saloons are marked XE, XF, XJ Suv's are E-pace, F-pace, J-pace (if a size above f pace would exist in Jaguars lineup) The electric suv is called I-pace. Mercedes has an E class aswell, do you go on complaining about how you thought that was "electric" aswell?
@Konstantin Ridaya Mercedes does indeed have some complicated naming, so by comparison Jaguar has some pretty straight forward names. Guess the horsepower and fuel type for the D180 engine? That's right, 180hp, Diesel. P300? Exactly, 300hp petrol engine. Now compare that to a Mercedes C 180d. Diesel is correct, but what does 180 stand for? it has 122hp, and a 1.6L engine? Or a C300, yes the lack of a 'd' indicates petrol. But the 300 once again has nothing to do with power or engine displacement. Same story for BMW, and audi and many more car brands. Long story short, if the only confusion Jaguar causes is wether E or I stands for electric, (which becomes obvious as soon as someone is actually interested in buying) they've done a pretty good job at naming their cars.
Jaguar/Land-Rover interiors are really behind the curve I think which is such a shame because their cars are very pretty to look at. Cheap looking grey plastics, awful layout, cluttered design. It’s like three different interiors stuffed into one cabin. The use of leather serves to frame this problem rather than hide it. The Velar is nice inside, but it’s not particularly interesting either.
Peanus Benis They don't have too much money like Germans invest on those things. You can't compromise safety and performance. So no cost cut there. It is obvious that they cut cost in interiors. Do u know that by the time JLR sell 1 car bmw, Mercedes and Audi sell 30.
^they sell more because their cars and interior are nicer and more reliable! It’s business. Mercedes, BMW and Audi don’t just have more money out of thin air. They make a good product lol.
Jaguar really cocked it up with this car ! Why on earth didn’t they use aluminium for the bodywork? Heavier than the F Pace ?? . Got to be one of jaguar’s biggest blunders!
Epace is the baby fpace.. it has many elements to prove that.. one of that is a baby jaguar with mama jaguar print on windshield which matt missed to show us here
For the verdict part, Matt has done it from narrative point-of-view rather than being there himself. The Jaguar E-Pace does offer fabolous tech-on-board, useful practicality and comfort. Despite that, it is not the best to drive and does not perform like a real Jaguar and I would go for the Range Rover Evoque.
Can you use the «watch key» as a normal key or do you have to have a normal key with you at all time aswell? Cause Volvo has this waterproof 3rd key as standard on the new models and there you dont Need to use two keys to drive. Silly... but like the consept on using it at the wrist!
Wow, so now Jag's got the XE, XF, XJ and E-Pace all at or near the bottom of their respective classes! It only seemed like five minutes ago there was a long-overdue resurgence going on :/
I'm in the market for a new compact SUV and was considering this on the shortlist. But so far the Audi Q3 just does everything better. That's a real shame as I quite fancied trying a Jaguar.
Good review carwow/Matt 👍🏻 Nothing worse than clicking on a review to find that they think trashing it round a track actually tells everyday people anything useful... Personal preference of course but I think it’s better looking than its rivals. Had an XE as a rental car when my c220 was getting fixed and actually prefer the Jag infosystem *shrug* But like mentioned, to get this specced to be worth considering, price wise, it just get ridiculous and you get a better quality/finish for the same cash from the Germans in my opinion.
I like the E-pace, but I priced one out (well equipped S trim) and found that for only a few thousand US dollars more you can get an acceptably equipped F-pace prestige model.
Sure but why lot of people thinks that the best bargain while buying a car is having the biggest with the same amount of cash? Luxury cars aren’t potatoes and most of the times are chosen with some emotional feelings to.
Thats only meaningful if you WANT a big car. If you want a small SUV then you compare it with other SMALL SIVs otherwise the comparison is pointless. We are getting a P300 HSE R-dynamic and it is absolutely NOTHING like the low specced, underpowered city-crawler that was tested.
My point is that I think it's overpriced. I drive the car I do because it wasn't offered with a third row like all it's competitors, so I know bigger isn't best. But cars from the class below shouldn't be so close in price. Congrats on your new car Geoff Flight, I hope you enjoy it!
You may as well get an GLB instead of an E-pace for that price. Mercedes has done a pretty good job with the exterior and interior design + the cutting edge technology on that one...unless you want to support GB of course
I like how im watching these vids and comparisons when im 14 and im like
"Hmm i should really get this"
Sean 15 here
Sean 15 here and getting a volvo or bmw as first car i cant wait.
(Btw its cos my uncle is rich and promised me a first car)
real
Blekitnyhornet 112567 I'm just dreaming for a Suzuki swift as my first car
Blekitnyhornet 112567 u are one lucky dude
matt still the best car reviewer of all time
Arturo Vidal Doug DeMuro is better!
Arturo Vidal you should check out the StraightPipes dudes, they're pretty good and entertaining too
Ok Kanye West...lol (kidding)
Ahmmm nope. Thats not in depth at all. There is so much left out
Except his name is Mat, not Matt.
6:05 someone's glad to see matt 😁
I honestly, really, really, love your car reviews. I look at your reviews first because they feel more real than other reviewers, thinking about things that actually matter to normal people, thanks and keep it up :)
The way the tow hook comes out, it’s like the car showing you the finger lol...😂
you totally didn't get it...lol
6:07
Good feature to show middle finger after overtaking anyone 😂😂😂
This guy is so beholden to the German manufacturers ! Makes it impossible to consider his views anywhere near impartial.
I've owned BMW's , Jaguars , Land Rovers and Mercedes. 8 times out of 10 the Jags and Landys offer better value for money and superior fit and finish. Especially when benchmarked to BMW.
LOVE the dog cameos :D
He's a die-hard Jag fan so we had to get him involved!
just make sure PETA staff dont see that.
carwow strangely I've got a Jaguar and all our neighborhood cats are attracted to it out of all the cars..!?
Please don’t refer to Matt as a dog 🐶
The 250hp base version costs as much as the bmw x1 20i 190hp base configuration plus the jaguar is better equipped so it's considerably cheaper than the x1. The 25i x1 is like 7k more expensive than the p250 for example and still has a less performant engine.
So this p250 looks interesting and the base model is also acceptable well equipped or perhaps few little extra optionals can be added.
7:20 PETA is coming for you Matt!! 😂😂😂
He's already gone into hiding...
Rajiv Kishore peta is american, they won't come for mat since he isn't one

Was it good for you
Still think they should have saved the e name for it’s electric cars to stop confusion
👍👍👍

6:54 and if someone gets inside the car and find the keys? Well at least you have a watch as souvenir.....😂😂😂😂
Πανος Παππας the engine won’t start without the wristband in the vehicle. Please do some research.

Number plate: 2017
Video made: Early 2018
Car title: *2019 E-PACE*
It says 2020 now 🙄
Hot damn. Jags killing it with their line up.
This guy, which is british, can make such a fairly critical review of such an important british car. This is an example of objectiveness.
I had to watch the video twice to see if Matt's dog was real or fake, turns out the dog is real and not a stuffed animal. As for the electric tow bar, this is a brilliant piece of engineering and should get some kind of an award for functionality as well as pleasing the ladies in terms of the potential it offers, great review overall.
Genuinely the best reviewer online
Love this car, I have one and I highly recommend it
So it's based on the Evoque, which is based on the old Land Rover Freelander 2.
Damn, that's one old new car Jaguar have there, no wonder it weighs so much.
7:21 poor dog 😂😂
I was desperately waiting for this review Matt! It's a coincidence that I got offers just today fir E Pace through Carwow and was just waiting for this review to decide :)
Your wish is our command! But what do you want to see next...
carwow Thanks :)
carwow Volkswagen Touareg when it's launched :D
Please make a quick look / first impression video on new Cullinan 😊😁
Its hard to get that brand new like culinan despite of how much money haha
Nuhan Hidayat check out Shmee150 he's reviewed one
Fehzan Ahmed yup I've watched his video 👍🏻
He's made one now.
I don’t understand why they call it an E-Pace, it can’t be just me that was confused and thought this was an electric car right?
Dorifuto11 I think it's because as their large saloon is the XF their large SUV is the F pace and their small saloon is the XE so their small SUV is the E Pace
@Konstantin Ridaya How does it make less sense?.
They have 3 sizes E, F, and J.

@Konstantin Ridaya now mercedes sells E CLASS so that doesn't mean that it is electric
Good review, i LOVE the interior design on this one!
You guys should include bloopers in the videos more often lol
6:09 😂😂😂😂👌
Is that really showing middle finger?!
If the E-Pace comes with that dog I'll trade in my Q3 😁 Despite the seat stitching not aligning perfectly 😁
That french bulldog is beautiful!
Look...
*Swift!!*
eine riskanter profilname it’s Suzuki Swift, not Taylor Swift...
Nitin Bharadwaj lol 🤣
I can't unsee it now!
NlflzlhhggllnnkkkiYjnnkkoeod@@trollz6940zbnnbnn
the dog is the best part of the vids
Can’t believe that blue bag was travel aboard ! See the HKT Security sticker!
This is the funniest review from him till now😂😂😂
I absolutely love your channel !! Please do a review on the Lambo Urus! Thanks in advance :)
Mat the type of guy that waters his toothbrush before and after putting toothpaste on it.
Who told you?! :o
carwow We all know something about someone!
eine riskanter profilname Ich mag Dougs Videos nicht.
Who doesn’t do that?
Everyone does it don't they?
I absolutely love your dog.
Please Matt review the new Porsche Cayenne
When are you planning to compare the new 2022 Tiguan 👍loving the reviews

R well, the German premium brands aren’t as reliable as Jaguar
All that stuff re this jag...wateva, comment re the Velar interior you’re absolutely nuts... or blind!
Peanus Benis Agree. It's a shame. It's infotainment technology is way behind too.
Omg that sun glare joke nailed it
Great Video Review. The New Jaguar E-Pace Is one of my favourite SUVs
I love this channel.....best reviews ever 😅
Wireing for this model is made in Aptiv factory in Novi Sad, Serbia.
The tow bar part 😂😂
Please do a review on the Lexus NX300
It’s like the suv version of the f type I like the styling
7:15 Would that be the first time you’ve put a small dog inside a big cat?
Any chance you can review the new PHEV E-Pace please ?
matt is one of the best
Oh wow I just hit that like before actually watching the review..!!?? Mat,what have you done to my head?? I’m a Mat junky!
Jaguar really cocked it up with this car ! Why on earth didn’t they use aluminium for the bodywork? Heavier than the F Pace ?? . Got to be one of jaguar’s biggest blunders!
You are a true Carwow follower if you know Matt's introduction line:
This is the new Jaguar E-Pace and.....................
How many borrowed oil paintings fit in the boot? And does a lock picking set/ explosives fit in the glove box?
Does it come with the Dog though ?
awaits epace vs x1 vs xc40 vs gla vs countryman vs q3
samdamn the e pace is bigger and in a different segment
Kayson Q. F pace is as big as q7/gle/xc90
I read a X2 / XC40 / E-Pace comparison review yesterday, the Volvo came out on top
James Ch that's completely wrong
Epace is the baby fpace.. it has many elements to prove that.. one of that is a baby jaguar with mama jaguar print on windshield which matt missed to show us here
have the dog in more vids, he is so cute
Is your head small? Or the steering is big? Idk the steering definitely looks huge than I expected it to be
How about you to review the haval h6 2018 . I need your opinion about it
Carwow is the best full stop
For the verdict part, Matt has done it from narrative point-of-view rather than being there himself.
The Jaguar E-Pace does offer fabolous tech-on-board, useful practicality and comfort. Despite that, it is not the best to drive and does not perform like a real Jaguar and I would go for the Range Rover Evoque.
No, id go for the NEW Evoque. Makes this car a complete and utter waste of time.
Jg
Can you use the «watch key» as a normal key or do you have to have a normal key with you at all time aswell?
Cause Volvo has this waterproof 3rd key as standard on the new models and there you dont Need to use two keys to drive. Silly...
but like the consept on using it at the wrist!
Wow, so now Jag's got the XE, XF, XJ and E-Pace all at or near the bottom of their respective classes! It only seemed like five minutes ago there was a long-overdue resurgence going on :/
3:53 Why do you always put your finger deep inside the 12volt socket?
don't know why this video reminded me of my school days
I'm in the market for a new compact SUV and was considering this on the shortlist. But so far the Audi Q3 just does everything better. That's a real shame as I quite fancied trying a Jaguar.
I'm guessing the f pace is lighter because it's on Jags aluminium chassis? And the E pace is on a conventional steel?
Yes, I did catch the "Cat Treats" stored in this Jag's storage compartment! LOL
Hey what’s a good alternate for this?
Good review carwow/Matt 👍🏻 Nothing worse than clicking on a review to find that they think trashing it round a track actually tells everyday people anything useful... Personal preference of course but I think it’s better looking than its rivals.

That is one of the most placid and well adjusted dogs I've seen. He's probably used to being in and out of boots, and being carried from car to car.
He’s stiff
Do a rezvani tank review
Pliz
That's not available in the UK lol.
As well as pointing out fake exhausts, could you point out fake or excessive front grilles like the e pace and f pace have.
Do you recommend it?
Top level banter
One of these days, Mat, you're going to put your finger too far into the 12v socket and get zapped!!! Careful now!!👍🏼
Can you do a video with Audi A6 s line quattro tdi limousine
04:01 Woah
When are you going to review the new Mini
He just chucked the dog in the boot 😱
I like the E-pace, but I priced one out (well equipped S trim) and found that for only a few thousand US dollars more you can get an acceptably equipped F-pace prestige model.
Sure but why lot of people thinks that the best bargain while buying a car is having the biggest with the same amount of cash? Luxury cars aren’t potatoes and most of the times are chosen with some emotional feelings to.
Thats only meaningful if you WANT a big car. If you want a small SUV then you compare it with other SMALL SIVs otherwise the comparison is pointless. We are getting a P300 HSE R-dynamic and it is absolutely NOTHING like the low specced, underpowered city-crawler that was tested.
My point is that I think it's overpriced. I drive the car I do because it wasn't offered with a third row like all it's competitors, so I know bigger isn't best. But cars from the class below shouldn't be so close in price. Congrats on your new car Geoff Flight, I hope you enjoy it!
hey mat, you haven't the ford pick up, the zl1, a lot of good cars
THAT COLOR!!!
My first thought when seeing that interior was the DS5. Which isn't so much of a bad thing, just a bit weird.
But how many liters big are the boot?
Oooh I thought the back seats will have a auto flat button, not manual
It would be great,if you make video of new MACAN
Would like to see this vs da ds7 and Volvo xc40 the 3 of them are the same price in Europe
I'm still stuck with jaguar x type from 2002... One day I can actually afford one of those
Lovely looking car, would love the 240hp diesel one in gun metal grey with either brown or white interior in dynamic r trim 👌👍
love the dog!!
Isnt there a space saver or a full size spare wheel?
Pros and cons..perfect
Any list of carwow out there which cars he considers for „simply buying it“?
If Matt was on Top Gear I would start watching it again..
Man you are the best.
You may as well get an GLB instead of an E-pace for that price. Mercedes has done a pretty good job with the exterior and interior design + the cutting edge technology on that one...unless you want to support GB of course
Mat, when will you make an update video on RS4? :)
Well I guess if it’s an Evoque underneath it’ll handle the ruff stuff ok? I would rather wait for the updated GLA I think over this.
Just bought this car, brilliant choice though 👌👌
Is it still good?
