Macan vs Jag E Pace

[Panthera]

Seems an odd match-up. There was only going to be one winner

Having skimmed the article I can see where they are coming from with this comparison. If you were considering a base level Macan as the very top of your budget, then a top-of-the-range E-Pace or perhaps a well loaded Q5 would warrant some consideration. Especially if you value the utility at least as much as the performance, which is quite likely in an SUV.

I cannot get excited about a 2 litre in a SUV. Even the article says that the engine sounds stressed and weedy. Yes it handles well but, I've said it before, you need to flog that car to get anything from it. I'd concur with a well loaded Q5 as opposed to a base Macan. Mind you, if you want utility, I would wager you could get more from a hot estate too (S/RS4 or Golf R).

No comparison, E Pace does not even come close in terms of handling, looks, build quality etc etc.

Get a huge discount on a Jag and I for one could live with the issues.

Its the after sales that suck at my local dealer, not that the sales are much good either but the cars themselves are acceptable at the right price.

For the Jag SUVs if you put the mindset in place that they are basically designed as a 2.0 litre family mover of reasonable quality and compared to its competition which is Volvo, Mercedes, BMW and Audi then they should be seen in a different light.

I have only driven an F Pace and it was a pretty good car to drive, not a patch on a Macan but certainly way better than the Audi Q that I used to have.
