2020 Jaguar E-PACE - Compact Suv https://youtu.be/sWG8ofHyvBM

What changes will make the 2020 Jaguar E-Pace different?
Hopefully, a revamped cabin with materials befitting a Jaguar. That would help this five-seat premium subcompact crossover compete on a more even footing with rivals such as the BMX X1, Lexus NX, Audi Q3, and Volvo XC40.

Introduced for model-year 2018, E-Pace is the revered British brand’s smallest, least expensive SUV and sits in the lineup below the compact-class F-Pace. Aiming for a youthful vibe, Jaguar gave the E-Pace sporty if understated exterior styling. Inside, it eschewed stuffy touches like real wood trim and filigreed surfaces for subtle aluminum accents and conservative, squared-off forms.

Successfully integrating cues from Jaguar’s sports cars, the body probably won’t be altered before a midcycle refresh, likely for model-year 2021. But heeding criticism of the interior, the automaker could well replace some of the 2020 model’s sturdy but dull plastics and perhaps introduce more imaginatively contoured surfaces – maybe even offer optional wood trim.

Should I buy a 2019 model or wait for the 2020?
Buy a ’19 if you’re OK with the general interior design and realize the optional quilted Windsor leather upholstery — $1,500-$2,100, depending on model – dresses up the cabin considerably. Wait for the ’20 if you think the ‘19’s interior décor is less than you deserve and want to see if Jaguar makes changes.

Wait for the ’20, though, and you risk paying more for a vehicle mechanically unchanged from the ’19. And while the potential model-year 2021 refresh won’t be dramatic, the ’20’s exterior styling details would have a shorter shelf life than a 2019’s.

Overall, expect the ’19 E-Pace lineup to repeat for 2020. It should again feature the P250 grade with 246 horsepower in Base, S, and SE trim. Also back will be more expensive P300 R-Dynamic S, SE, and HSE grades with the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine hot-rodded to 296 horsepower. All versions of the ’20 E-Pace will continue will all-wheel drive (AWD) and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
