Which Jaguar SUV Is Best: F-PACE, E-PACE or I-PACE?
Three Jaguar SUVs, three very different buyers. A side-by-side of size, performance, running costs and availability, so you can match the right one to how you actually drive around Northern Virginia.
The short answer
For most buyers, the F-PACE is the best Jaguar SUV: it has the most cargo space, the highest towing rating and the widest range of engines, from a 246-horsepower four-cylinder to the 567-horsepower SVR. The E-PACE is the better pick if you want a smaller, easier-to-park SUV at the lowest price. The I-PACE is the choice for an electric SUV and the quickest of the three outside the SVR, provided you check its battery recall status. All three are now out of production, so today's choice is between remaining new stock and certified pre-owned examples.
Meet the three
F-PACE
The midsize, five-seat SUV and Jaguar's best seller. Offered as the P250 four-cylinder, the P400 mild-hybrid six-cylinder and the supercharged V8 SVR. The final F-PACE was built on December 19, 2025, so the 2026 model year is the last. Browse current F-PACE inventory in Tysons.
E-PACE
The compact SUV, about 14 inches shorter than the F-PACE. The final US version was the 2024 P250 R-Dynamic SE with a 246-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and a 9-speed automatic. Built to be easy in city traffic and tight parking garages.
I-PACE
The all-electric SUV, with dual motors, a 90 kWh battery and 394 horsepower. The 2024 EV400 R-Dynamic HSE was the last US model. See what is available in I-PACE inventory.

The 567-horsepower F-PACE SVR, with a manufacturer 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds, was also offered; remaining SVR stock varies by retailer.

How they drive: all-wheel drive and character
All three are all-wheel drive, but they feel different from behind the wheel, and that matters as much as any spec line.
F-PACE: rear-biased
Jaguar's Intelligent Driveline Dynamics system sends most of its power to the rear wheels in normal driving, which Jaguar puts at about 90 percent, and can send up to half to the front axle within 165 milliseconds when grip drops. Jaguar describes it as keeping a rear-wheel-drive feel. The F-PACE also offers Adaptive Surface Response, derived from Land Rover's Terrain Response, and All Surface Progress Control for smooth starts on slippery surfaces.
E-PACE: compact and nimble
The E-PACE's shorter 105.6-inch wheelbase makes it the easiest of the three to thread through Tysons traffic and in and out of garage spaces. With the same 246 horsepower as the F-PACE P250 in a smaller body, it feels eager around town, and its 9-speed automatic keeps the engine in its power band.
I-PACE: instant torque
With 512 lb-ft of torque from two electric motors, one on each axle, the I-PACE responds instantly from a stop. The battery sits low in the floor, which keeps its center of gravity down, and its long 117.7-inch wheelbase gives it a settled ride on the highway.
If winter driving is the deciding factor, our guide to the best luxury SUV for Northern Virginia winters covers ground clearance, all-wheel drive and tires in more depth.
Living with the I-PACE's range in Northern Virginia
For an I-PACE, EPA range depends on wheel size: 246 miles on 20-inch wheels and 217 miles on 22-inch wheels, so check which wheels a specific car has. Most daily driving in the region, whether a commute from Reston into Tysons or a run down I-66 into the District, uses a fraction of that. Charging overnight at home on a Level 2 charger covers it for most owners.
Two things reduce usable range. Cold weather is the first: Recurrent's data puts I-PACE winter range at about 77 percent of best-case range at 32°F, which recovers as temperatures rise. Recall charge limits are the second: some 2019 to 2021 cars are capped at 80 or 90 percent until a permanent battery remedy is installed. If range matters for your routine, factor both in before choosing a specific car.
Running costs and ownership
Purchase price is only part of the comparison. All three share Jaguar EliteCare coverage when new: a 5-year or 60,000-mile limited warranty, complimentary scheduled maintenance and roadside assistance for the same term. The differences show up in fuel, charging and model-specific considerations.
F-PACE
The P250 matches the E-PACE's efficiency closely despite its larger size, at 24 mpg combined. The P400 drops to 21 mpg for its added power. Consumer Reports' reliability prediction for the F-PACE is below average, based on brand history rather than detailed model data.
E-PACE
23 mpg combined and the lowest entry price. Consumer Reports has too few survey responses to publish detailed E-PACE reliability data, so an individual car's service history matters most.
I-PACE
No fuel or oil changes, and home charging is usually cheaper per mile than gasoline. The trade-off is the battery recall history on 2019 to 2021 cars. Its battery is warrantied for 8 years or 100,000 miles.

What is actually available now
Jaguar ended production of its current lineup to relaunch as an all-electric brand, so none of these SUVs can be ordered new from the factory. That changes how to shop.
Remaining new stock
Because the F-PACE stayed in production a year longer than the E-PACE and I-PACE, it makes up most of the remaining new stock; Carscoops' July 2026 inventory count found the same. New units carry the full EliteCare term from the date they are first registered. Stock is finite, so the configuration you want may not be available.
Certified pre-owned
A certified pre-owned Jaguar adds a 165-point inspection and extended coverage beyond the factory warranty. For the E-PACE and I-PACE, certified pre-owned is now the main way to buy.
End of production does not affect service or warranty support. Jaguar states that its service network remains fully operational and that warranty coverage continues unchanged. Our guide to owning a Jaguar after production ended covers the details.
Jaguar SUV questions
Which Jaguar SUV is best?
The F-PACE suits most buyers, with 70.4 cu ft of maximum cargo space, 5,291 lb of towing capacity and engines from 246 to 567 horsepower. The E-PACE is best for a smaller, lower-priced SUV, and the I-PACE for an electric SUV with a 4.5-second manufacturer 0-60 time.
What is the difference between the Jaguar F-PACE and E-PACE?
The F-PACE is the larger midsize SUV, about 14 inches longer, with 70.4 cu ft of maximum cargo space against the E-PACE's 49.5 and a higher towing rating. Both offer a 246-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, but only the F-PACE offers six-cylinder and V8 options.
Is the Jaguar I-PACE still made?
No. I-PACE production ended in December 2024, and the 2024 model year was the last in the US. Remaining examples are sold as new stock where available or as pre-owned vehicles.
Which Jaguar SUV is best in snow?
All three are all-wheel drive. The F-PACE adds Adaptive Surface Response and All Surface Progress Control for low-grip conditions and has 8.4 inches of ground clearance. For any of them, winter tires make more difference to braking and cornering on snow than the all-wheel-drive system does.
Can you still buy a new Jaguar SUV?
Yes, from remaining retailer inventory, which is mostly F-PACE because it was built a year longer than the other models. Production of the current lineup has ended, so new vehicles cannot be factory-ordered, and certified pre-owned is the main way to buy an E-PACE or I-PACE.
