The E-Pace is Jaguar's stylish take on a sporty SUV, but it comes with trade-offs.
The 2026 Jaguar E-Pace defines itself with a blend of refined styling and surprising agility. It’s the kind of SUV that turns heads at the valet stand, boasting an exterior that could easily belong to a more expensive vehicle. On a winding canyon road, it impresses with its cornering prowess, hugging the curves with a sporty flair that belies its SUV stance. However, the E-Pace isn’t without its compromises. The turbocharged 2.0-liter engine feels a bit sluggish when compared to its more sprightly competitors. Inside, the rear seat space can feel tight for adults, and the interior materials, while stylish, don’t quite whisper luxury as loudly as some rivals. For those who crave style and agility and don’t mind a few concessions, the E-Pace is an intriguing option.
