Is that a competitor of the stelvio and the zillion other small suvs?
Personally, I do not "get" the bulky appeal of these cars yet.
As long as you have, go for it.

It's rather unfortunate that Jaguar has to follow this path to survive in the modern world.
Call me an "old git" but I stopped being excited by Jaguar years ago with the exception of the last XK8 and the current F Type.
If I had to have a roof, I would have a Mk2 in a heart beat.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

I'm still enjoying my 1st Jaguar, a 2007 S type that we have had for 2 1/2 yrs and 25,000 miles. Smooth and goes like a train from 15 to xxx mph, and beyond I expect.

I had a jaguar xjr until a few years ago, i really liked that car. After 10 years i moved to a bmw 750, this car I did not leave the smile on your face as the xjr did.
bmw was wrecked (thankfully all safety features worked and all 4 passengers walked away with no injuries) about a year ago, and I have not replaced it yet. No bmw for me anymore. Perhaps a not too old xkr? on the other hand I like that I am using my morgan more.

I am really enjoying the Jag XE R-Sport and I think that jaguar has done a fantastic job on these vehicles. Just be careful with options. The standard naviigator does not include the possibility of speed cameras and other options may not be possible to add post manufacture

Back in 1971 I passed my driving test in Dad's S Type...  Glorious, but no power steering, so the three point turn was heavy work. The e Pace doesn't really look like a Jag as I know them, but I suppose most people wouldn't remember the real Jaguar, anyway.  From what I read it is more like an Evoque in a nice dress than a Jaguar, but I'm sure it will sell VERY well, starting price is £28K!!
