2018 Jaguar E-Pace: Big on Style — and Price | Edmunds

Edmunds special correspondent Elana Scherr paints her nails a fierce fashion red and climbs into the equally fiery cockpit of the 2018 Jaguar E-Pace R-Dynamic HSE. The E-Pace is Jaguar’s entry-level SUV, but it doesn’t have an entry-level price. Does its stylish exterior, responsive performance, comfortable rear seating and useful cargo space make up for a hefty price tag?

Q: Is the 2018 Jaguar E-Pace an electric or hybrid car?
A: No, you’re thinking of the I-Pace. The 2018 Jaguar E-Pace is a traditional turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine, available with 246 horsepower or 296 hp.

Q: How does the 2018 Jaguar E-Pace compare to the F-Pace?
A: Edmunds reviews described the F-Pace as “competent,” but found it somewhat lacking in expected Jaguar sophistication, both inside and out. The 2018 Jaguar E-Pace seems much more in keeping with Jaguar’s history of handling, fashionable design, and luxury interiors.

Q: How does the 2018 Jaguar E-Pace compare to the Audi A3 or the BMW X1?
A: The Jaguar E-Pace is slightly larger than most luxury compact SUVs, and this allows it to offer competitive rear cargo space (52.7 cubic feet with the second-row seat folded flat and 24.2 cubic feet with it in place) and excellent rear passenger room.
