THINGS move fast at Jaguar these days. It wasn't long ago that potential buyers were lured into its showrooms by sleek saloons and estates, powered by majestic engines that had pedigrees going back decades. Straw in the winds of motoring change started arriving in about 2015, and before you could say 'six-string Heston' Jaguar's bestseller was the F-Pace - yet another chunky SUV.
The E-Pace followed in no time, ready to muscle into the 'compact luxury SUV' market, and very successful it has been too. It's a stylish interpretation of the genre: definitely a Jag, even if there's a hint of Mk1 Qashqai in it. My test car was handsome enough to overcome the dullness of the white paintwork.

Rory Stewart - The former Cabinet minister and hit podcast host talks to Alec Marsh about the parlous state of British politics, land management and his deep love of the countryside
The gently spoken 51-year-old former Conservative Cabinet minister is a countryman at heart. That's clear: he even changes into a tweed waistcoat for the interview, which takes place at his London home and begins with a question about his precise career status. Having resigned from the Commons and the Conservative Party in 2019, the former diplomat and soldier has reinvented himself, first with an unconventional but promising run as an independent for the London mayoralty (abandoned because of COVID19 in 2020) and then as a media figure, co-hosting one of the country's most popular podcasts, The Rest Is Politics, alongside Alastair Campbell, the former Labour spin doctor.
