Driven- 2018 Jaguar E-Pace P250 AWD

[@typhoonbluemusic]

I always look forward to Tom’s videos.

[@ElijahsAba]

Tom’s my on-line favorite. (I can live without Doug’s theatrics - seen them once, you know what to expect every time.)

[@scottschrum1065]

Met him once. Super nice, down-to-earth guy, we geeked about cars for 10-15 minutes.

[@jeffmarsico3528]

Tom is one of the best car reviewers in the business.

[@davidjym]

At 78.1 inches wide, it will be a tight fit through the garage door. Jaguar definitely made some cost cutting here, especially how the entire interior panel is moving when Tom was pressing the Push Start Button @ 1:29. Also there are much Black Honeycomb motif going on in the front.

[@swanblake]

To your point about cost cutting, the E Pace also weighs more than the larger F Pace.

[@davidjym]

Yes, Jaguar is doing it backwards !!!

[@grimtastabod]

Always love the evil twin sections. I'm sure they take an amount of planning to produce, but the result is always worth it!

[@Brayant25]

Tom i love all your reviews and always love the last minute humors.

[@jasonhall3693]

I've been watching you for years Tom and you deserve wayyyyy more subscribers.

[@kurtkomaromi3690]

Another great review from my favorite auto journalist. Thanks, Tom.

[@speedticker9243]

It's like a TV Show .Love it

[@DjdMenis]

Very Good Mr. Cooper. Well done as always.

[@6ec6YRFPTcC]

Cadillac XT4 is my favorite in this class

[@jody024]

Great review once again Tom! And what a view at 4:01

[@JDubbs07]

This may be the luxury segment and the Jaguar brand carries some cache, but I don't know about $55k worth of cache for this little thing. And basically $40k for a stripper model? Insulting.

[@blitzbbffl]

A base MB GLC gets you RWD Dynamics, more interior space, and a really nice interior - for much less than $55K.

[@Sanpedranoazul]

LOL E is for electric, you`re sooo right!

[@ytechnology]

I also thought you were going to review an Electric Jaguar. Still turned out to be an interesting video. The "I" in I-Pace might be workable afterall, because it represents current ( I = V/R ). 5:58 - the dials with displays are fantastic. I wish more automakers did this.

[@vince7349]

Excellent review!!

[@ktpinnacle]

A laggy electronic system is inexcusable.

[@haserotmalach7324]

So, the RDX is still the best option for those looking for a value packed small SUV.

[@Ezero8]

I would not consider the RDX "small" by any means.

[@swanblake]

Wrong class

[@haserotmalach7324]

@@swanblake I stand corrected. Maybe what I wanted to say is that for 50 something thousand the RDX is a much better buy. You get much more car for the same money.

[@AviationDirection]

7:37 One more pack in the center top on folded seats would have worked 😉

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Nope. Remember, I was there.

[@AviationDirection]

@@DrivenCarReviews I remember. But, since you were able to get 3 high on the sides with lower roof line, middle would have worked. Just hold it while it slides, then put the remaining ones against the liftgate.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

@@AviationDirection As I said, I was there. For both that take and the other two where the pack you speak of wouldn't fit without crushing it somewhat.

[@williamhunt2647]

Aviation Direction I agree with you, definitely room for the extra pack.

[@stevenplutes]

Great video Tom. Gotta say, you look more like Anderson Cooper than Pete Carroll. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

After all my years in this business, nothing hurts my feelings.I still don't look like Anderson.

[@stevenplutes]

Yesterday I was told by a VP of my company that I look like Buzz Lightyear because we have the same "hair." Not sure how he knows what Buzz's hair looks like because he's wearing a purple space spandex balaclava. Maybe it's the laser beams I have on my forearms.@@DrivenCarReviews

[@Panicatthejazz]

This is a nice vehicle

[@Sanpedranoazul]

This is so mainstream, too Escape; love your reviews Tom! Any plans on the E class?

[@richardcomerford1828]

You"Bueller"ed us again!

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

Always enjoy your reviews Anderson, though I think Jag should stick with building E-Types instead of E-Paces.

[@bassandtrebleclef]

Why do the graphics look so choppy in the dash and center stack at start up? Those details matter. Tom, another great review!

[@DrivenCarReviews]

That could be the camera not in sync with the video screen. I was having a hard time matching them up.

[@Darkender1988]

I can't get over the cheap crappy leather on the wheel, total turn off for the thing I touch all the time to be cheap

[@wasdwasdwwasd]

Given the FWD layout would this be the spiritual successor of the X-Type?

[@rightlanehog3151]

Mondeo.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Which was a sedan...

[@wasdwasdwwasd]

Oh, right. Perhaps crossovers are slowly supplanting small sedans as the entry level for these premium brands?

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@DrivenCarReviews There was also a wagon.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

@@rightlanehog3151 True. Got me there. I guess I forgot about it since they probably sold five of them in the US.

[@peter300pete]

there are few reviewers I really love to watch on youtube and Tom is one of them, but please talk about cabin quietness a bit more in detail and objectively if possible, thanks.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

What kind of detail would you like Peter?

[@peter300pete]

@@DrivenCarReviews first, thank you so much for your reply. The noise level in decibel at a certain speed like 50 or 60 mph and the comparison of the interior noise with the other cars in the same category would be great. Thanks again for great reviews.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

@@peter300pete I'm afraid I can't do that Peter. While I have the meter, I don't have the time and a consistent way to do a test that uses the exact same road, speed and weather conditions needed. I'm just one guy. I'll leave that kind of testing to Car and Driver, which has a staff.

[@peter300pete]

@@DrivenCarReviews yes you're right, it needs more time and some consistency. I'll still enjoy your reviews.

[@JulezWinnfield]

Keith Morrison from "Dateline" is much more of Tom's doppelganger than Pete Carroll or Anderson Cooper. Come to think of it, have Keith Morrison and Tom Voelk ever been seen together in person?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Hmmm... Haven't seen Keith in a while. Could it be... Muuuurder?

[@antonch.657]

Seattle is beautiful

[@TheM3csl]

You gotta make a video how evil twin effect is made. 😁

[@DrivenCarReviews]

It's pretty easy, you just have to have a nasty brother.

[@ClassicBMWFanInQuebec]

Great video Tom as always. Question: I noticed that very often when you press the Start button in cars the surrounding plastic will flex. Can you actually feel it flexing when pressing? It doesn't look good, from a perceived quality perspective at least.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Often times it's an extreme side angle and a very tight shot so it's exaggerated a bit on video. The operator will be facing it head on so it's less obvious. While I noticed it (that's kind of my job) it didn't bother me as much as some in the comments. This is not the only car- expensive or not- to do that. I often let shots speak for themselves so people can make up their own minds on what a deal breaker is for them. Otherwise my videos would a half hour long.

[@ClassicBMWFanInQuebec]

@@DrivenCarReviews You're right, the angle and zoom level probably exaggerates the panel flex. Thanks for the response Tom!

[@tony2hotty]

Would the Lincoln MKC also be a competitor?

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Yes. While I try to name them all occasionally I miss one or two.

[@prl08]

Never understood the Brits' love for fixed sunroofs. They look nice, but why not cut it in half and give people the option to open.

[@CTOInformation]

nice review, but $54k ???

[@crownr0yalonice]

Definitely don’t look like Anderson Cooper!

[@pierre-richardromain6708]

I would compare this one to the Mazda CX-5 GTR or Signature. The Mazda give you 250hp

[@isaiah123456wp7]

The front end seems bloated.

[@dygardion9130]

I don’t under why this is E pace isn’t the electric car BUT the i pace is..... failed naming imo

[@swanblake]

Tell that to BMW then

[@DrivenCarReviews]

@@swanblakeAt least Audi got it right with e-tron...

[@doogiemcdougster6740]

Other competitors include..... Cadillac XT4

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Which was mentioned...

[@redorange]

So a $11K Chevy Spark can have standard Apple carplay/Android auto, but a $50K Jaguar has it as an extra cost option of $300. Wow.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Much like that $300 a night hotel room with a $20 charge for wifi while the budget motel down the street provides it for free. This is one of those "If you worry about the price, it's not for you" kinda things.

[@redorange]

Stephen Hendricks sure if you want to think of it that way. But for $50K I expect not to pay extra for thing that GM can provide standard. Btw auto parking is standard on this vehicle so a software update should not be $300. These luxury brands are really taking advantage of people being idiots.

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@redorange I wouldn't deny that. My comment was simply meant to suggest that it's not an unusual practice in the sale of luxury goods including autos. Jaguar is not alone in charging for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. It's common among several European luxury brands. Presumably, they do it because customers pay for it. Customers for mainstream brands, presumably, are not willing to do so.

[@richardtargett4128]

redorange It could be worse, Ferrari charge over $4000 for Apple CarPlay

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@richardtargett4128 Perhaps worth noting that a sociologist/economist, Thorstein Veblen, coined the term "conspicuous consumption" well over a hundred years ago. It referred to the willingness of consumers to pay a premium for goods that demonstrated their affluence to others. In this case, paying a premium for Apple Carplay/Android Auto demonstrates that purchasing a Ferrari or a Jag isn't such a big deal for the purchaser. Conversely, failing to add such an option would suggest that poor old Reggie was stretching the budget just to buy the car without the option.

At a glance, now that you mention it, you could be mistaken for Anderson cooper....but you're much better at your respective craft.

[@efavuzza73]

I hate direct fuel injection. Makes gas engine sound like diesel however is this the same basic 2.0 4 cylinder ford makes.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

The Ingenium engine is completely independent from the outgoing Ford engine.

[@Jokwoo]

The ePace is forgettable. You’re not, even without Pete Carroll guise.

[@cadsux]

If their was a way to collect their hefty paychecks, you'd admit you're Anderson Cooper or Coach Pete Carroll!

[@Yathuprem]

I for Current

[@swanblake]

The fact that the small Jag is heavier than the large Jag (F Pace) tells you all you need to know on this car. Overweight and overpriced. Junk interior amd quality. Avoid

[@Bryan-T]

ugly car

[@bextar6365]

Over priced car/suv..

[@mohammadfarajzadehtehrani88]

6.7s 0-60 with HP equal to that of BMW X3 and cargo size of Golf !!! Compared to Volvo XC40, this is crap.

[@swanblake]

Keep in mind BMW stats HP at the wheels nd not the crankshaft like everyone else. BMW will always be better in the real world

[@markblass]

In other words, this car is a P.O.S.-sorry, an expensive P.O.S. Why would anyone buy this disaster?
