The E-Pace will likely compete against the baby Benz crossover and baby Bimmer crossover, but the Jag is bigger than both.
We like the X1 for its solid turbo-4 and modest looks, but it’s not as compelling to drive as the E-Pace.
The GLA isn’t as big inside, and its material quality is questionable in lower trims, but it’s the only one to offer a performance version (for now).
The Audi Q3 is outclassed in every way so far and is due for a replacement soon.
The Lincoln MKC is surprisingly fast when optionally equipped with a 2.3-liter turbo-4 and can be fun to drive, although it can be extraordinarily expensive.
Want to roll the dice on a brand with a sketchy rep that’s not called “Jaguar”? Take a look at the Stelvio.

Coming soon to a Pepperdine parking lot near you: the 2018 Jaguar E-Pace. |
The 2018 Audi Q3 offers a fun-to-drive alternative to the entry compact luxury car, but with more utility. Versus its rivals, it delivers more ride comfort and interior refinement, but less fuel efficiency. |
The 2018 BMW X1 is a compelling crossover pick for a budget BMW buyer who can’t do without a roundel. |
The 2018 Lincoln MKC is a luxury compact crossover that’s a relative value compared to others. It’s an SUV with all the amenities, but without the cachet. |
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class blends hatchback with crossover, with better than mixed results. |
Remarkably fun to drive and beautiful too, the 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is great at driving, less facile at crossover-SUVing. |
