Jaguar E-Pace D200 R-Dynamic SE
In a quest to ease the pressures of work with a touch of indulgence, this premium family SUV seems a good fit

WORK HARD, PLAY hard. Surely that’s a good motto to live by in these trying times. But the thing is, I’ve come to realize that I’ve not always been as hot on ‘seizing the day or ‘making every minute count’ – another sage pair of mantras – when it comes to getting the most out of my leisure time as I ought to be, and I reckon my choice of car has been partly to blame. With my new Jaguar E-Pace, though, I seek to change all that.
You see, I’ve been putting work first when choosing a car, prioritising practicality above all else. But while such diligence probably makes my job as What Car?’s chief photographer a bit easier, I often find myself yearning for something with a little more sparkle when the weekend rolls around and I don’t need to haul all my kit about. On that basis I thought I’d rethink my priorities this time; the E-Pace is still an SUV, but it places rather more emphasis on Sport and less on Utility than the cars I’ve run in the past.
