Overview

The Jaguar E-Pace brings proper British premium cachet to the compact SUV class, and the 2024 range keeps its appeal with handsome looks, a driver-focused chassis and a cabin that feels special. Starting at £40,000, the D200 diesel with 204hp and mild-hybrid assistance is the long-distance champion of the line-up.

That 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel pairs strong mid-range pull with a claimed 40.4mpg, making the E-Pace an effortless motorway companion. Jaguar’s chassis tuning shines through too: the steering is precise, body control tidy, and it feels more agile than its 1,900kg kerb weight suggests. A 577-litre boot is among the biggest in the class.

Inside, the E-Pace wraps you in leather and metallic trim, with the Pivi Pro infotainment system — a huge step up from Jaguar’s old setup — responding quickly and supporting wireless smartphone mirroring. Rear space is snug for tall adults and options add up fast, but few rivals match the E-Pace’s blend of style, driving pleasure and badge appeal.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Jaguar E-Pace reliable?

Recent E-Paces score better than Jaguars of old, with the Ingenium diesel proving robust when serviced properly. The Pivi Pro electronics are far more dependable than earlier systems, though premium servicing and parts costs remain higher than mainstream rivals.

What MPG does the Jaguar E-Pace diesel get?

The D200 is officially rated at 40.4mpg combined. Real-world motorway cruising typically returns 38 to 44mpg, while heavy town use drops it into the low 30s — diesels reward longer journeys.

Is the Jaguar E-Pace good for towing?

Yes, the E-Pace makes a fine tow car: the D200 diesel is rated to tow up to 1,800kg braked, and the all-wheel-drive system with trailer stability assist inspires confidence. Check your driving licence entitlements for heavier trailers.

Petrol or diesel E-Pace: which should I choose?

High-mileage drivers doing regular long trips should pick the D200 diesel for its economy and torque. Lower-mileage or mostly urban drivers are better served by the P300e plug-in hybrid or a petrol model to avoid DPF issues.
