Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
Jaguar's first crossover SUV, the F-Pace, has been a big success for the company thanks to its sharp-looking style and athletic performance. Now the company is doubling down on its success with the new 2018 Jaguar E-Pace.
The E-Pace's name could be confusing since a lot of automakers use an "E" to refer to electric power. But the E-Pace is just a smaller SUV, similar to how the Jaguar XE sedan is smaller compared to the XF sedan. In terms of size and price, the E-Pace is a bit bigger and more expensive than established subcompact SUVs such as the Audi Q3 and BMW X1.
Power comes from one of two available turbocharged four-cylinder engines: one that makes 246 horsepower and another that puts out 296 hp. All E-Paces are equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The higher-output engine's all-wheel-drive system is more advanced and helps improve the E-Pace's handling when going around turns.
Overall, we're excited about the 2018 E-Pace. It's more expensive than some rival SUVs you might compare it to, but in return it delivers plenty of style, performance and features. It's quite possibly the best-equipped subcompact SUV available this year.
Trim levels & features
The 2018 Jaguar E-Pace is offered in two main trims primarily distinguished by engine output: the base P250 and the P300 R-Dynamic. Additional features are broken out into four subtrims: Standard, S, SE and HSE. The base E-Pace P250 is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (246 horsepower, 269 pound-feet of torque) while the E-Pace R-Dynamic gets a similar but more powerful version (296 hp, 295 lb-ft). A nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard across the board.
The P250 Standard comes with 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, selectable drive modes, heated mirrors, automatic wipers, front and rear parking sensors, push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, 60/40-split folding rear seats, a 10-inch touchscreen, a rearview camera, and a six-speaker sound system. Lane keeping assist and forward collision warning and mitigation with low-speed automatic braking are also included.
The S upgrade adds 18-inch wheels, LED running lights, leather upholstery, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, a navigation system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, additional smartphone integration, an automated parking system and a surround-view camera system.
The SE trim equips the E-Pace with 19-inch wheels, automatic high beams, a power liftgate, 14-way power-adjustable front seats, an 11-speaker premium audio system, a blind-spot monitoring system and adaptive cruise control.
The top HSE is only offered with the higher-output R-Dynamic P300 models and adds 20-inch wheels, a hands-free liftgate, keyless entry, 18-way power seats with memory settings, premium leather upholstery and a full-digital instrument panel.
In addition to the power increase, E-Pace R-Dynamic P300 models (beginning with S trims and up) are also equipped with a performance-enhancing rear differential, special exterior and interior styling details, front foglights, and sport front seats with contrast stitching.
Most of the extra features from the higher trim levels are available as options on the S and SE. Other notable upgrades include a Climate Control package (adds heating for the front seats, steering wheel and windshield), a Drive package (additional safety features including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and upgraded forward collision mitigation), a Meridian surround-sound system, a surround-view parking camera system, and adaptive suspension dampers.
A limited run of First Edition models will also be available. In addition to much of the R-Dynamic content (except the more powerful engine), it comes with exclusive red paint, a black leather interior with red contrast stitching, and special 20-inch wheels. And just about all of the E-Pace's optional features are included as standard.

2018 Jaguar E-PACE video
[MUSIC PLAYING] MARK TAKAHASHI: It may sound counter-intuitive, but small SUVs are really big right now. Case in point, Jaguar E-Pace. As the name suggests, it's a smaller version of the F-Pace. But oddly enough, it's heavier. Go figure. Under the hood is a two liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 246 horsepower. That's a lot for a base model. Then you step up to the dynamic one, and you get 296 horsepower. That sounds like a lot fun. Problem is, it's kind of expensive-- around $40,000. We're talking way more than a BMW X1 or Audi Q3. On the inside it actually has echoes of one of my favorite Jag's, the F-type-- the little coupe or roadster. It even has that cool little "oh, shucks" handle for the front passenger. With that kind of performance, you got to believe they're going to be holding on for dear life. Look for the E-Pace to go on sale sometime in early 2018.

2018 Jaguar E-Pace First Look: Frankfurt Auto Show
Edmunds 2018 Jaguar E-Pace debut from the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. Small SUVs are really big right now. Case in point: the 2018 Jaguar E-Pace. Senior Writer Mark Takahashi checks out the F-Pace's smaller but heavier brother. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 246 horsepower, a lot for a base model. The Dynamic trim has 296 horsepower. However, this new crossover costs more than a BMW X1 or Audi Q3.

See your car's valueThe 2018 Jaguar E-Pace is an all-new player in the luxury crossover SUV segment. And it's available in various combinations depending on your powertrain selection.
The 2018 E-Pace is offered in two main trims that are primarily distinguished by engine output: the base E-Pace P250 and the E-Pace R-Dynamic P300. The four subtrims available are Standard, S, SE and HSE, with a limited run of First Edition models this year. The base E-Pace P250 is powered by a 246-horsepower four-cylinder engine, while the E-Pace R-Dynamic uses a more powerful version with 296 hp. A nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard across the board, though R-Dynamic models get a more sophisticated AWD system.
The Standard subtrim, which is only available on the base E-Pace P250, comes better equipped than your average subcompact SUV, though to be fair it is also priced accordingly. Some highlights include 17-inch wheels, LED headlights, a drowsy driver warning system, selectable drive modes, heated mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone automatic climate control, 60/40-split folding rear seats, Bluetooth, a 10-inch touchscreen, a rearview camera, forward collision warning and mitigation, and lane keeping assist.
Stepping up to the S trim gets you 18-inch wheels, LED running lights, leather upholstery, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a suite of nice advanced parking aids. The SE trim takes it a step further to what we see as the E-Pace sweet spot. You get 19-inch wheels, automatic high beams, a power liftgate, 14-way power-adjustable front seats, an 11-speaker premium audio system, and dynamic driving assist aids such as blind-spot monitoring system and adaptive cruise control.
The top HSE trim is where things begin to get pricey: It's only offered with the high-output R-Dynamic models. It adds 20-inch wheels, a gesture-controlled power liftgate, keyless entry, 18-way power-adjustable seats with memory function, premium leather upholstery and a full-digital instrument panel. In addition to the power increase, E-Pace R-Dynamic P300 models exclusive exterior styling, black steering-wheel paddles, and sport seats with contrast stitching.
Luckily many of the features, such as keyless entry, can be added to certain lower trim models, so you don't have to start at the HSE level if keyless entry is a must-have. We also like a few other stand-alone options, including the adaptive suspension system (especially for cars with 19-inch or larger wheels) and heated and cooled 18-way-adjustable leather seats with heated rear seats.
The 2018 Jaguar E-Pace no doubt has a lot to offer, and we suspect it will become a segment favorite no matter what you're cross-shopping it against. And if you are considering the E-Pace, you can do your research and run your comparisons right here on Edmunds.

Should I lease or buy a 2018 Jaguar E-PACE?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
