Jake recently got the chance to test the new E-PACE on and off road, and he had a blast. Watch the video below and check out his full review here!

I dont like to say too much negative, and I had a drive in the 20d R sport (looked good) and my impressions were:
1. engine pretty gutsy with great launch;
2. interior meh compared to f type. It is more evoque with Jaguar affectations. The XE is nicer IMO (I appreciate I am swimming against the tide on this as the reviews have it that it is very nice, I disnt really agree);
3. steering is good;
4. ride is awful, it positively bounces along when it hits a bump. Maybe the rims were too big;
5. better to drive than an evoque but that isnt saying much;
6. XE, XF are enormously better to drive. F Pace too;
7. overall, if you wanted a demonstration why sedans are so much better to drive than SUV's, test drive an XE and an E Pace back to back.
One caveat is that it could be a car greatly affected by wheel choice. This one had big rims.

I think we can safely conclude Jaguar's luxurious wood-and-leather interiors have been replaced by tech-and-sport.

I can understand that, I am getting tired of not being able to see past or around the car in front myself. My plans for the F Pace SVR however have been dashed by opposition from the family, a drive of the E Pace convinced me that it would be a big step back from the XE for my missus (who loves the XE anyway), and after a recent track day my love of the F Type has renewed.
