My wife and I have owned numerous SUV's over the years and really love this vehicle. It is fun to drive with excellent handling and braking which stops on a dime. We have the nearly 300 horsepower turbocharged 4 cylinder model and it is very quick. The safety features are excellent as well with automatic braking if you would happen to not see a pedestrian or biker in time, it will stop the vehicle for you. The heated windshield will come in handy in the winter, plus the heated seats and steering wheel.

I love my E-Pace

I have used the same process when purchasing a new car for the last 5 vehicles I have purchased. I first research on line various vehicles in the class that I am interested in at the time. In the past it has always been a sports car. I then compare different vehicles using Edmunds and Kelly. After narrowing my selections I schedule test drives. Once I decide on a specific vehicle I go back to the internet to build the specific vehicle on the manufactures website and request a quote. Jaguar was quick to respond and amazingly had the E-Pace I built. The Corris Grey Metallic exterior along with the 19" Satin Dark Gray wheels and tinted winds makes a beautiful vehicle. While it is an SUV I still feel that I have the feel and handling of a sports car. The sound system is superb as is the navigation system. Bluetooth connectivity is excellent and I particularly like the "Read Out" function when a text is received while I'm driving. The memory for the front seats is great since I am considerably taller than my wife. I have to admit that some things took a little while to get used to since my last car did not have the back up cameras. I love that when you put the car in reverse the passenger side mirror angles down. The gear shift really isn't a gear shift in the old sense. I would relate it more to a joy stick changing from one function to another. It is a simple matter to press the button and move from Park, to Drive or Reverse. My sales adviser went into great detail on all aspects of the vehicle as there are so many. He also assisted me in setting up my Jaguar Remote connectivity on my smartphone. How cool is that. I can connect with my car on my phone, see numerous details about my car, lock it, unlock it, start it or contact to Jaguar if I have trouble. Most people are looking for a place for their phone when they get in a car. The E-Pace solved that problem with a slot in between the cup holders right in front of the center console. Raise the arm rest of the center console and in addition to ample storage there are 2 USB ports, a Micro Sim card slot and a 12 volt outlet. If you get the impression I like my car you are right I love it.

Updated after 6 months of ownership

UPDATE 4/19/22 After 6 months of ownership, I decided to sell my E Pace to the local Jaguar dealer. The good news for me is I got most of my money out of it plus I drove it for 6 moths and mostly enjoyed it. So why did I decide to sell it? Ok, this car is a blast to drive and is super sporty. But after 6 months of ownership, the following are my updated observations: 1. The tech and safety features are barely acceptable by today's standards - I was aware of the limitations, but after driving it for 6 months I decided to look for better options 2. The visibility (for me) in the vehicle is not great when I'm backing up or merging and looking over my shoulder trying to see past the B pillar. Again, for me, I feel like this is a safety issue 3. The transmission engagement with the engine seems a bit off and jerky at times 4. The ride is not as good as I originally thought when I was smitten by the sexy lines and pep of the car. It rides nice on smooth roads (all cars should) but when the road gets a bit rough, you feel it for sure and then it is not an enjoyable driving experience. 5. The back up camera and info screen are dull and poor quality; the back up cameral is almost useless. Original review Much of my review of my 2019 Jaguar E Pace P 300 R-Dynamic SE will be subjective and my opinion, but that is what most reviews are. I drove a lot of compact/subcompact SUVs before deciding on the E Pace. I have owned many vehicles in the past from domestic to imports and base to luxury. I like a vehicle that rides and handles well, is quiet, has good build quality and feels solid. I was looking for a smaller SUV but one that was well equipped – vented/heated seats, HUD, upgraded seats, good audio system, etc. I test drove Audi Q3 and Q5, Acura RDX, MB GLC, Buick Envision, Volvo XC 40, Volvo XC 60, Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy, Cadillac XT4, and the Lexus NX 300 F Sport, and of course the Jaguar E Pace – the lesser horse power P250 as well as the P300. After driving the E Pace, I really liked it. I went back to the local dealership to drive different E Pace models 4 times. This car is a blast to drive. I did not find the HP difference between the P250 and P300 to be that significant, but it is notable. I decided the E Pace was the best option for me but not the ones available at the local dealership. I was looking to buy used and again, had specific ‘wants’ in an E Pace. I found the 2019 that I bought that was a Spec build for the original owner, beautiful white exterior with the black exterior trim package, mars red leather interior with 18 way vented/heated seats, HUD, upgraded sound system, and 20” wheels. I say all of this because there is a huge difference between a base or stripped-down E Pace and one that has nice options – but that is no different than most cars. Prior to making my decision to buy the E Pace, I had read several on line reviews (including ‘expert’ reviews) and watched many YouTube videos regarding the E Pace. Many of reviews when comparing the E Pace to the competition (and I drove most of the competition) were indifferent at best and negative at worst towards the E Pace. It seems that most of the issues, however slight with the E Pace were in the first year of production – 2018. In no way did I feel these negative connotations towards the E Pace. So bottom line, the following is my impression after driving my E Pace for the past week for approximately 700 miles. 1. The vehicle is beautiful and elegant - exterior and interior 2. The build quality is solid 3. Excellent paint 4. I refer to the interior as simple posh – fit and finish is very good, nice materials with very good leather seats 5. The car is quick and handles well and wants to keep going faster 6. The ride is ‘sporty’ – it’s not soft but not rigid 7. The car is relatively quiet with little wind and road noise (I’m very picky about this) 8. The upgraded Meridian sound system is very good 9. The tech – acceptable and ok for me but if you demand the absolute best and quickest tech and that’s a deal killer, this may not be the car for you 10. The front is fairly spacious, not so much in the back seats- adequate for adults for short trips 11. There is only a fixed pano-roof option – if that’s a deal killer, move on Do your research, drive lots of options many times, and make sure you are under factory or extended warranty!

A suv that thinks it is a sports car

This car has had poor reviews but you can't believe reviews. My E-Pace is nimble and comfortable. I get compliments daily It stops on a dime and moves out fast when you have to get around quickly. The controls are not complicated. The gear shift is easy to use. It also has regular tires -not run flats-and a real spare. It has every option you would ever want and it rides smoothly. I was just in a 2021 Audi Q7 and I like my E-Pace better. It really does think it's a sports car. UPDATE: I had a jag XK 150 coupe in college a long time back. This suv is not a coupe but it really handles like a sports car, It turns on a dime and brakes quickly even at high speeds. I can feel the road and it can pick up and go very fast if needed. It has a beautiful black metallic paint that shows specks of green in the sun. I can start it with my phone and it will run for a half hour. It has a cell phone holder which is convenient. I live in Florida so I enjoy the cooled seats. I do have quite a bit of optional equipment on this car but it was worth it. I would highley recommemd this vehicle.

Tried out at rental car place

Was offered this car In lieu of the car I originally reserved, as it was available for the same price. I was excited to drive a Jag and was pleased with the exterior styling, though it could’ve had sharper, more future-forward lines. The interior seemed somewhat bland, with plastic-y materials on the dash and side panels. The gear shift was annoying, as there is a button you must push to put the car in drive when all other gears simply require a slide forward or back. Never could find the cup holders, which should be obvious. It wasn’t until I googled to find out where they were that I learned they are hidden under a plastic tray that at first glance appears to be an integrated charging dockattached to the center console. The navigation system, once set, is quite nice and accurate. Unfortunately, you have to first enter the state, city, street name, then number of the place you’d like to go. Driving this SUV was fun, steering was precise but smoothe, and braking was responsive. Excessive road noise and lack of rear passenger space took away from a pleasant ride. All this being said, I personally drive a 2019 Subaru Outback and am pleased that it is way more user friendly with intuitive technology, and the interior looks and is way more luxe than this overpriced, underwhelming vehicle.
