Overview

The 2018 Jaguar E-PACE SUV is a proud member of the subcompact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the BMW X1, the Mercedes-Benz GLA 250, and the Volvo XC40. Spread across 4 trims, the E-Pace starts off at a base price of MSRP 38,600 and carries on to $53,550. Its 2.0L turbocharged inline 4 engine and 9-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 6.6 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 1,653 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the E-Pace manages to get a combined EPA rating of 24 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 8.8 inches.Â

Buying Advice

In spite of the extensive list of tech and safety features offered on the base model, it lacks a few luxurious features. A trim level of S would be worth considering if you are looking for more luxury features like leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, navigation, and many more.
