Piece of Crap
Dissapointed, San Antonio, TX, 03/06/2019
2018 Jaguar E-PACE P250 S 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
Sorry. This is my first luxury car and I am so disappointed. I should have researched the reviews before I bought this car. This is very ridiculous for someone to spend so much on a vehicle that is basically a lemon. My car has been in and out of the shop and right now it need a brake job and alignment with only 12000mile. Very disappointed. I pray this is the last of this for some … time because I an ready to trade it in for a Hyundai
Love the Jaguar E-Pace

2018 Jaguar E-PACE P250 S 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
I have only leased this car for a short period of time, however, so far no problems at all. It is fun to drive, and even with the smaller horsepower turbo engine there is so much pickup even from an initial start. Plenty of power merging into highway traffic. I am driving the S trim with lots of added options. Adaptive Cruise control works very well. Leather seats are very comfortable. … Lots of standard options even on the S trim, but recommend upgrading to the Meridian sound system. My model has park assist, however, it is a bit more difficult to adapt to than the park assist I had on my previously owned Mercedes. Enough room in the back seats for 2 adults even when the front seats are pushed back a bit. The storage space is smaller than my wife's Audi Q5, but with the back seats down plenty of room to go shopping at Cosco and spend my usual $350 for more stuff than I need! The interior trim is not as fancy as some other luxury SUV's, but the reason to buy this car is the way it handles - especially steering and acceleration. The warranty and service maintenance is for 5 years or 50,000 miles and is included with the price of the car. The one option for this car is a fixed glass roof with sunshade, but I generally have never opened the roof even on cars I have owned that had that functionality. I test drove several other SUV models before deciding on the E-Pace, but this one sold me because of the way it drove and the number of standard options included which are usually extra on other models. Also, the current lease deals are virtually at 0% interest rate. Virtually no wind noise on the highway. After I drive this car for a few thousand miles I will update this review.
First Jag I've ever owned

Which E-PACE does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the P250 E-Pace SE for its balance between cost and features. This model comes with the base engine, which puts out a respectable 246 horsepower, has standard all-wheel drive, and is packed full of features such as a power tailgate, 14-way power leather seats with memory function, an 11-speaker premium audio system, and a suite of advanced driving and parking aids. Due to the larger 19-inch wheels though, we'd also recommend getting the Adaptive Dynamics option, which can vary the suspension damping and improve ride quality (available in April 2018).
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Jaguar E-PACE SUV
Driving
The Jaguar E-Pace R-Dynamic impresses with speedy performance from its turbocharged 296-hp four-cylinder. Paired with a responsive, quick-shifting nine-speed transmission and accurate steering, the R-Dynamic delivers on its promise of a rewarding driving experience.
Comfort
The E-Pace's ergonomics are preferable to those of the larger F-Pace, striking a more natural balance between carlike familiarity and SUV utility. The upgraded 20-inch wheels are good for cornering but deliver a relatively harsh ride quality. But overall, the E-Pace feels unquestionably luxurious.
Interior
Despite its small SUV proportions, the E-Pace is surprisingly roomy on the inside. The back seat provides enough legroom for adults, even if the headroom may be tight for taller passengers. We can't comment on lower-trim versions, but the upgraded leather upholstery is a pleasant treat.
Utility
A lot of thought has been put toward utility. Jaguar managed to squeeze in quite a bit of small-item storage, with generous door pockets and cubbies. There's also a good amount of usable cargo space: 52.7 cubic feet with the second-row seat folded flat and 24.2 cubic feet with it in place.
Technology
For higher trims like the one we drove, you'll find a full digital display screen, a color head-up display, and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity, app integration and Wi-Fi. There's also a comprehensive suite of driver aids and active safety features.
