What Is the 2024 Jaguar E-Pace?
The Jaguar E-Pace is a five-seat subcompact SUV that competes with the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Lexus UX and Volvo XC40. The sole powertrain is a 246-horsepower, turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that’s coupled to a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Agile handling makes the E-Pace fun to drive, though its overly firm ride could deter some SUV shoppers — especially those expecting classic Jaguar comfort.
What’s New on the 2024 Jaguar E-Pace?

For 2024, all E-Paces come in a sport-themed R-Dynamic trim with a newly standard Black Exterior Pack that adds a gloss-black grille, side vents and side window surround.

Should I Buy the 2024 Jaguar E-Pace?
Its handsome design and attractive interior certainly give the Jaguar E-Pace a sense of style. While it comes standard with a long roster of comfort, tech and safety features, there’s no escaping the fact that the E-Pace’s base price is significantly higher than many rival small luxury SUVs. While the 246-hp engine provides decent pep and handling is eager, power delivery is uneven, overall fuel economy isn’t great, and the ride can be stiff.
