Is the E-Pace worth it? Here’s my two-word answer: Buy one.

Ah, was that too obvious? As we descended the Corsican mountainside, it struck me as a really simple choice. If you want a nice interior but a boring, bordering-on-sterile driving experience, try an Audi Q3/Q5. If you’re blind but enjoy Germanic no-nonsense-ness, buy a BMW X2. The full-fat X3 is nice, but way more expensive than the Jag. If you’re not blind and still value an engaging drive, buy the Jaguar E-PACE. Every day that you walk out to it, you’ll be glad you did.
