Jaguar is a classy brand and the cars it offers in the market have smart looks and certainly the cars are known for their sporty behavior. The vehicle which we are talking about is a crossover. Jaguar E-pace represents a different but well thought of body style. The interior is roomy and that uplifts the scores for the vehicle. But above all the characters what dominates is the engine efficiency and handling. All the elements are merged together very well to provide an excellent output.
The Jaguar E-Pace engines on offer are one of the finest and provides good efficiency. But what makes the vehicle seem somewhat slow is the weight of its structure. Still the mechanics work at their best. The sloppy shape of the vehicle does not affect access of the passengers or disturbs them. Whether on a smooth road or rough pavement the transport is tuned to remain comfortable. Handling is certainly an area which keeps up that sporty image for the brand. The fun part is alive still not disturbing the tranquil inside.
There are two versions of the same 2.0-litter turbo four diesel engine. The base engine has the power output 246 hp and the available engine has 296 hp as output. Both the engines come with all-wheel drive and there is a nineĀ-speed automatic transmission for gear change. In both these engine behavior of the transport remains same. There is no significant change in the agility of the engine even when a higher power is chosen. As mentioned above what hinders is the weight if this factor is eliminated there is going to be a much better performance from both the engines. Jaguar E-Pace engine efficiency however remains good and the driving fun is there in every road condition. A downside here is also the gear shifts that take a bit time to be effective and that certainly effects the speed.
The fuel economy suffers over here and that is not a good idea when talking about an SUV. It is because when on a vacation or any other routine task the driver always thinking about higher fuel consumption does not help at all. The mpg return is 20 mpg in town while on highway it is 26 mpg. And the figures are almost same for both the engines. These are lower than most of the rivals and that really hurts the image of this vehicle. The car maker has to attend to this matter to improve those figures and up the ranking. However, for those who can afford, the automobile remains one of the best crossovers in its size.
Jaguar E-Pace is known for its handling as well. The element of fun is present in the vehicle no matter on what surface it is taken. The vehicle is firm around turns giving ample control to the driver and minimizes the body roll as well. All-wheel drive comes as standard which means good road grip. The firmness in suspension do make the ride a bit uncomfortable but not to a great extent.
