“We think the Jaguar E-Pace is better than it’s generally given credit for, but would suggest a regular petrol model over the pricier plug-in hybrid. There’s also too much form over function throughout, which hurts its practicality as a family car.” (Stuart Masson)

“It’s let down somewhat by a choppy low-speed ride and some low-rent interior materials, but on the whole, it’s a product which will undoubtedly appeal to many people.”

“We think you don’t need to go higher than S trim to get a decent E-Pace, though, as these come well equipped and dip below the £40,000 barrier, while the D180 will provide a good balance between performance and economy.”

“A plug-in hybrid option and improved infotainment give the updated E-Pace a boost but Jaguar’s compact SUV still struggles to make its voice heard.”

“The Jaguar E-Pace P300e is a really interesting addition to the small SUV PHEV ranks, not because it does anything radically different, but because it’s a bit more interesting to drive than most rivals.”

“The Jaguar E-Pace is hamstrung by its heavy underpinnings and, in D180 guise, has particularly lacklustre performance.”

“The Jaguar E-Pace P300E feels rather more agile on the road than a typical medium SUV, although it’s perhaps helped by the low-mounted battery contributing to a more neutral gait when being hustled along a country lane.”

“The Jaguar E-Pace is a smart-looking SUV but it isn’t all that great to drive, the cabin looks plain and its interior quality feels below par in some areas.”

“Expansive update including the BiK friendly PHEV, but the plug-in looks expensive against premium-brand rivals.”

“Mainly front wheel drive, it’ll pump power to the rear wheels when needed to boost grip on tight corners, muddy tracks or assault courses.”

“Jaguar has played it safe with the E-Pace. The engine and interior feel are below average, the comfort and handling slightly above. The lack of distinction is understandable, given it will almost certainly become the brand’s biggest seller and therefore needs to appeal to most of the people most of the time, but Jaguar has developed a fairly unremarkable car as a result.”

“The E-Pace is a sporty-looking alternative to the SUV-norm that fails to deliver the drive you’d expect from a Jaguar. Some refined engines, four-wheel drive capability and reasonable practicality can’t quite balance out the high price, jittery town ride and poor fuel economy.”

“The Jaguar E-Pace is not without flaws then, but it does look stunning. And since Jaguar is seeking the young and style-conscious consumer, then the E-Pace will probably prove to be just as successful as the F-Pace, even if it isn’t quite as good to drive as we were hoping.”

“The Jaguar E-Pace is far from perfect. You might be tempted to live with its issues to drive a car that looks as good as it does, as well as make a statement by not being a generic premium Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz SUV. But the Volvo XC40 also looks brilliant and does the whole ‘not German’ thing a little more convincingly.”

“While far from the perfect compact SUV, there’s still plenty to like about the Jaguar E-Pace. If you’re sold on the styling and prepared to sacrifice the comfort and interior polish of its rivals for a sportier feel, it deserves a place on your shortlist.”

“Great to look at and to sit in, and to drive like a lunatic, but the Jaguar E-Pace falls down on the simple test of negotiating typical UK roads comfortably without feeling like someone left the delivery blocks in the suspension. If you want a mid-sized SUV for family duties, there are better compromises around. “

“The Jaguar E-Pace is a stylish and sporty entrant into the premium crossover market. It has plenty of driver appeal for an SUV, but the overall quality and driving experience can’t quite match the best in class. Few rival models are as agile and entertaining to drive, though.”
