The Jaguar E-PACE does 23.3 mpg combined (20.6 city, 26.7 highway), which works out to about $1,648 a year in fuel at $3.20 a gallon and 12,000 miles. Engine choice matters more than you'd think: 2L 4-cyl does 23.4 mpg while 2L 4-cyl Hybrid does 23 — a difference of $29 a year. Against other 4-cyl cars it sits below the average of 25.4 mpg.
Every Jaguar E-PACE engine, compared
Picking the right version of the same car often saves more fuel than picking a different car altogether. Yearly cost assumes 12,000 miles at $3.20 a gallon.
| Engine | Combined | City / Highway | Years | Fuel per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2L 4-cyl | 20.4 / 26.9 | 2018–2024 | $1,641 | |
| 2L 4-cyl Hybrid | 21 / 26 | 2021–2022 | $1,670 |
What that actually costs
Miles per gallon is an abstraction; the fuel bill is not. Here it is in money, at 12,000 miles a year and $3.20 a gallon.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Cost per mile | $0.137 |
| Fuel per year | $1,648 |
| Fuel over five years | $8,240 |
| Against other 4-cyl cars | +$136 a year |
| EPA's own estimate | $3,300 a year |
City or highway — who is this car for
The gap between city and highway figures tells you whom the car suits. A wide gap punishes stop-and-start traffic; a narrow one means the car doesn't care where you drive it.
| Measure | Value | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| City | 20.6 mpg | $1,864 a year if you only drive in town |
| Highway | 26.7 mpg | $1,438 a year if you mostly commute |
| Gap | +6.1 mpg (30%) | Wide — this car dislikes traffic |
How the E-PACE changed over the years
Combined figure by model year. Jumps usually mark a new generation or a new engine; dips often mean a heavier body or added all-wheel drive.
| Model year | Combined | City / Highway | Engines offered | Fuel per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 20 / 26 | 1 | $1,670 | |
| 2023 | 20 / 26 | 1 | $1,670 | |
| 2022 | 20.5 / 26 | 2 | $1,670 | |
| 2021 | 20.5 / 26 | 2 | $1,670 | |
| 2020 | 21 / 28 | 1 | $1,600 | |
| 2019 | 21 / 28 | 1 | $1,600 | |
| 2018 | 21 / 28 | 1 | $1,600 |

How we count
Fuel-economy figures come from EPA fueleconomy.gov — the same laboratory numbers printed on the window sticker. We don't adjust them; real-world consumption depends on how and where you drive.
What we add is money. Yearly cost assumes 12,000 miles at $3.20 a gallon — change either and the ranking stays, only the size of the bill moves. Cost per mile is the same figure divided out, useful when comparing a commute against a weekend car.
