2017 Jaguar E-Pace P300 HSE 2017 review — Auto Car
Jaguar’s second SUV faces up to the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. Tough task, so is the E-Pace up to it?
What is it?
This is the first transverse-engined, front-driven Jaguar since the X-Type. Only quite a lot seems to have happened since that car.
Back then, it was a saloon designed with more than a gentle nod to the past.
Today, the E-Pace arrives looking every bit as fresh as the rest of the Jaguar range and sits squarely in an ever-growing market.
This whole SUV thing doesn’t look like ending, either. Around half a decade ago, Jaguar was selling 60,000 cars a year. Now it reaches that figure with the F-Pace alone.
The E-Pace sits below the F-Pace, then, as the XE sits below the XF, so although ‘E’ implies electric in most other people’s ranges, it ain’t here. So, here we are: a compact SUV is a departure for Jaguar, but man cannot live on elegant saloons and sports cars alone. And so we get a natural, Callum-lite design touch applied to a 4.4m-long SUV.
Which looks? Well, you decide. I think if you grabbed each wheel and pulled it outwards a bit, you’d have a rather elegant car. Place a hand over the lower half of it in pictures and the roofline is as graceful and flowing as you’d hope. But, down to its compact length and 1.65m height, it looks like a stress-ball version of an F-Pace. F-Pace in caricature.
