Jaguar E-Pace vs Jaguar F-Pace: verdict

How much difference is there between Jaguar’s SUVs? Time to see whether you should go large with the F-Pace or save some money with the smaller E-Pace...

Jaguar F-Pace front

Our verdict

Although the F-Pace is more expensive to buy and run, it wins this test. For a start, it’s more practical, thanks to its more generous rear leg room and much larger boot. And then there’s the driving experience. The F-Pace is considerably more comfortable and handles well for a big SUV.

The E-Pace isn’t bad on a twisty road, but its jiggly ride counts against it, as does its cheaper-feeling interior. While we can certainly see the appeal of the F-Pace, you’d have to be a diehard Jaguar fan to look past the E-Pace’s numerousflaws.
