2021 Jaguar E-Pace

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2021 E-Pace.

Transmission Automatic (S9)

The 2021 Jaguar E-Pace is defined by its Automatic (S9) transmission and an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 20 city, 26 highway, and 23 combined mpg, with a powertrain that requires 7.4 quarts of 0W-20 viscosity oil. Although the model carries four recalls and its top owner complaints target the electrical system and engine, the overall frequency of reported issues is minimal. Recording just a single total owner complaint, the 2021 E-Pace sits as the lowest-complaint year across the model's 2019-2024 history, indicating a notable reliability improvement over the six complaints logged by the 2019 iteration.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 21,000 mi; spark plugs every 63,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2021 Jaguar E-Pace sits at a pivotal point in the model's federal record: complaints dropped sharply from 6 in 2019 and 4 in 2020 to just 1 in 2021, yet recalls surged from zero in the first two years to 4 in 2021—a level matched only by 2022. This suggests that while owner-reported issues became rare, Jaguar initiated multiple proactive safety campaigns for the 2021 model year, though the data does not specify the root causes of those recalls. The single complaint in 2021 involves the electrical system and engine, but there are no crash or fire reports. The overall trend shows complaints declining across the generation, while recalls appear concentrated in the 2021–2022 period before tapering to 2 in 2024. For a used buyer, the 2021 model offers a very low complaint rate, but the high recall count means you must verify that all four recalls have been performed before purchase. If that condition is met, it is a reasonable buy; otherwise, the unresolved recalls could pose reliability and safety risks.
