Product Overview

Jaguar E-Pace facelift is a subcompact crossover in production from 2020. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.
Essentially a tall hatchback, the E-Pace has relatively low build quality and appointments and is meant for those who love the Jaguar badge but do not appreciate cars.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Jaguar E-Pace uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 69% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The E-Pace is on a new platform, ditching the Ford-related P8 underpinnings for the newer Jaguar Land Rover PTA platform. Jaguar has brought its baby into line with the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque. There are seven new engines on offer and six of those are hybridised in one form or another. It can run on electrons only for 34 miles and that's not far off a real-world figure.
Pros
  • Punchy powertrain
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Not as fast as rivals
  • Not as fun to drive

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
-Pace sibling adopts a plug socket and battery too as part of the car's mid-life updates. Badged P300e, this version has been made possible by the radical decision to give the E-Paces a facelift. Jaguar has swapped the ageing D8 underpinnings for Jaguar Land Rover's newer PTA architecture. Total power stands at 305bhp with 540Nm torque, and it'll sprint from 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds.
Pros
  • Powerful petrol engine
  • New infotainment system
Cons
  • Not as powerful as its bigger sibling
  • Alternatives are better to drive

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:
The P300e plug-in hybrid system promises up to 141mpg, 44g/km of CO2, and 34 miles of electric range. It combines a 197bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol and a 108bhp electric motor into a neat AWD package. The 0-80% charging sprint is dispatched in 30 mins on one of those fast chargers you'll find at motorway services. Inside it's very impressive. It feels super-modern without feeling too futuristic and tacky.
Pros
  • Fantastic infotainment system
  • Superb electric range
Cons
  • Fiddly gearbox
  • Pricier than rivals
