WORSE BETTERJaguar E-Pace
The small E-Pace is stylish and nimble. All versions are powered by a
2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine, mated to a nine-speed automatic
transmission and all-wheel drive. Power delivery is uneven, that is,
either lethargic or overly gushing. Fuel economy of 21 mpg overall is
not stellar. Handling is agile with sharp steering, making the little Jag
fun to drive. The ride, however, is stiff and nervous. Controls, includ-
ing the touch-screen infotainment system are a bit cumbersome but
manageable. Visibility is wanting. Interior ambience is too ordinary
and not befitting a car in this class. Forward collision warning, low-
speed automatic emergency braking, and lane keeping assist come
standard. Driver assist features, such as adaptive cruise control, and
blind spot warning, are optional.Overall Score 43

Infiniti QX80
The QX80 large SUV has a plush, luxurious, and quiet interior. We
liked the supple ride but found this big barge to be ungainly, with
cumbersome handling in everyday driving, although it was ulti-
mately secure in emergency maneuvers. The seven-speed automatic
and 400-hp, 5.6-liter V8 provide smooth and strong performance,
but it chugs premium fuel and returned just 15 mpg overall. The tall
step-up to the cabin makes climbing in or out an ungracious affair.
Cargo volume is plentiful, and the small, power-folding third-row
seat comes in handy to carry two kids. The Nissan Armada is essen-
tially the same vehicle but costs less. Forward collision warning and
automatic emergency braking are standard.Overall Score 65
