Recently, Edmunds editor Mark Takahashi put together his list of "top picks for fuel-efficient all-wheel drives", and we were pleased to see that not one, but two Jaguar vehicles made the cut under the luxury category.

While Mr. Takahashi named both the Jaguar XE and the Jaguar XF sedan in his article, we're going to focus on the midsize, all-wheel-drive 2019 Jaguar XF diesel car.

See why this stunning, state-of-the-art new luxury sedan might just be the perfect commuter car for Charlotte drivers who are concerned with fuel economy but prefer the confidence and versatility of AWD.

 

It's rare for any automaker to make big changes, additions, or deletions from a car that's only in the second year of its new generation. It's even more rare when it's the second model-year of a completely new vehicle's first generation.

So, it shouldn't be a particular surprise that the 2019 Jaguar E-PACE doesn't have any major changes from the 2018 Jaguar E-PACE that we fell in love with last year.

But, there are some small differences between the 2019 and 2018 that you should know about:

The impressive, forward-thinking new 2019 Jaguar I-PACE has more than a few tricks up its sleeve--and its advanced, enhanced regenerative braking system is just one of them.

Regenerative braking isn't necessarily anything new; it's a tech feature that hybrids have been relying on for years, a way to use the power of stopping the massive weight of a car toward its own benefit.

The I-PACE, though, in classic Jaguar fashion, does it better.

Being a British car company, making British cars, it stands to reason that, on occasion, Jaguar would fall back into its old habits and heritage. For example, when measuring "boot space".

In a recent video, Jaguar excitedly detailed the mammoth cargo space in the back and full interior of its exceptional and competitive F-PACE SUV--using liters and millimeters.

For our Charlotte friends who may not want to spend the time converting to numbers that we're more used to and comfortable with (cubic feet and inches, respectively), we've done it for you.

Have you caught your breath yet? It's alright if you need another minute.

This sheer amount of power, poise, and agility is temptation at its finest.

The 2019 Jaguar I-PACE is a standout new model option in the electric vehicle market, competing directly against models like the Tesla 3, the Tesla Model X, and some less-premium options like the Chevy Bolt EV, the Nissan LEAF, and the upcoming Hyundai Kona EV.

After the official debut in Geneva--following months of testing--pricing for US-spec Jaguar I-PACE electric vehicle models was released:
