It took Jaguar a little while to get around to fielding a compact luxury SUV. Where partner Land Rover had launched the Range Rover Evoque in 2011, the Jaguar E-Pace only arrived in 2017, and into a much more competitive market. The early cars were moderately popular with buyers but off the pace of several rivals for ability.
A 2021 update fixed some of those issues so it’s the one we’d recommend if you’re set on an E-Pace - you’ll appreciate its higher quality, better ride and improved in-car tech, while the addition of a plug-in hybrid model is welcome for those mostly confined to city commutes. Above all, it’s something a little different from the usual German options in this class, so if all of your neighbours already have Q3s and X2s, perhaps the E-Pace is worth a look.
Jaguar might not out-sell brands like BMW and Mercedes, but it has made cars in the past that are every bit as good as the more popular German models. The Jaguar E-Pace was not one of these when it arrived in 2017, falling short in many of the areas you’d expect a Jaguar to excel. It’s difficult to make a case for these earlier cars, but post-2021 models are worth a look, since Jaguar improved the comfort and handling, upped interior quality, and Jaguar’s four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines were smoother by then too.
It’s always been fairly roomy though, for a car based on the more stylish but more cramped Range Rover Evoque. Front and rear seat space is good, though take the boot capacity figure listed below with a pinch of salt, since that figure is loaded to the roof rather than the parcel shelf. In the right trim level, the F-Type inspired cabin can feel quite upmarket, again improved in later cars. Earlier infotainment systems were well off the pace but later models correct this too.
The engine lineup isn’t class leading for performance or economy, but does the job, and most models will come with all-wheel drive so you’ve got all-weather security on your side. Likewise, ride and handling is nothing special, but was at least improved in 2021.
If you’re sold on the Jaguar image then the E-Pace is worth considering, though some of Jaguar’s own models, like the larger F-Pace or the XE saloon, are better cars. We’d also consider the Range Rover Evoque, which is similar under the skin to the E-Pace but a more desirable product. Models to consider from other brands include the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and X2, and the Mercedes GLA and GLB.
If it’s within budget, we’d recommend a post-2021 E-Pace, since the tweaks Jaguar made when the car was updated made it a more competitive car than it was at launch, if not quite a class leader.
Then, we’d suggest steering clear of the entry level petrol and diesels, so the P200 and D150, both of which are unremarkable performers, and don’t offer much better economy than their more powerful counterparts. A D180 with the automatic gearbox is the best starting point, though regular S trim is no hardship thanks to its generous equipment levels. Double-check whether the car you’re looking at cost more than £40,000 brand new, too, since this results in a much higher annual VED bill.
Since the 2021 update Jaguar tidied up the E-Pace trim options, with S, SE, and HSE trim lines, and each offered as a sportier R-Dynamic model too. You may find earlier models with different trim names, but thanks to the improvements implemented in 2021, we’d recommend finding one of the later models.

Unlike some cars there’s no real tax advantage to finding a pre-April 2017 model, as the E-Pace’s CO2 emissions aren’t low enough to make it cheaper than a later car. Post-April 2017 cars all get a flat rate of VED, set at £190 per year for the 2024/2025 tax year, though the plug-in P300e is £10 cheaper. The exception to this rule is any model that cost more than £40,000 brand new, which get a surcharge bumping annual tax to £600, or £590 for the plug-in hybrid.
At its most affordable, the E-Pace sits in group 25 (out of 50), which is for a D150 with the manual gearbox and front-wheel drive. This rises to group 35 for a P300, or as high as group 42 in some trim levels. For comparison, a BMW X2 can be found in groups 22-42, so the E-Pace should cost a similar amount to insure.
