The 2020 Jaguar E-Pace is well-equipped as standard, but it’s easy to spend thousands more on top-tier models. We give it 8 out of 10 as such, with points for Jaguar’s excellent warranty coverage, good infotainment, and good standard equipment.
Available in five standard trims and a new special edition, there’s no shortage of E-Pace models to choose from. The base model starts at $40,945 (including $995 destination charge) and comes with the 246-horsepower engine, all-wheel drive, 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, heated door mirrors, leather upholstery, 10-way power front seats, automatic emergency braking and active lane control, and a 10-inch infotainment system with available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s our choice in the lineup.
Stepping up to the SE for $44,695 adds 19-inch wheels, heated power-folding mirrors, 14-way power front seats, a Meridian sound system, a power liftgate, and additional safety features such as adaptive cruise control and active parking assist.
R-Dynamic models dial up the performance with 296 horsepower and the excellent active torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system. The S trim features unique 18-inch wheels, 10-way power sport seats up front, and the connectivity package which includes connected features, an available 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, and satellite navigation for $47,595 all-in. SE R-Dynamic models get 14-way memory front seats, Meridian sound, 19-inch wheels, and additional active safety features for $50,195, and the top-tier HSE R-Dynamic trim adds 20-inch wheels, 18-way perforated leather sport seats, and connectivity and every active safety feature in the book for $53,945.
That’s a pretty penny for top-tier models, considering several larger luxury crossovers are well-equipped for less, so we recommend the R-Dynamic S model for the best combination of performance and feature content if money’s no worry.
Jaguar fits the E-Pace with a 5-year/60,000-mile comprehensive warranty that also includes free maintenance.
