About the Jaguar F-PACE

The Jaguar F-PACE was launched in 2016 and was immediately praised for being a brilliant mix of racing sports car and big, functional SUV for family-focused life.  

There have been two generations so far, with a revamp of the 2016 model launched for 2022. This refresh includes an updated interior and new exterior styling, as well as the launch of the plug-in hybrid engine.   

It rivals the Audi Q5 and Q7, the Mercedes-Benz GLC or the BMW X3 as a premium, luxury SUV, and is a top-tier option for the style-conscious family who wants practicality and prestige.  

A lot of the F-PACE's popularity is due to it being sporty in the true sense of the word – it's unbelievably fun to drive, with the kind of grip, handling and pace you want from many 'sporty' SUVs but don’t always get.   

There are a few Jaguar F-PACE models on offer, including the flashy Prestige and R-Sport trim levels, plus automatic and manual models to pick from.  

What features does the Jaguar F-PACE have?

The Jaguar F-PACE has a luxe, sumptuous interior filled with tech.  

The SE trim and above comes with Jaguar’s Interactive Driver Display – digital dials on a 12.3-inch screen that displays the sat-nav and car information.

The main screen is a 11.4-inch display split into three sections for navigation, media and phone and features Land Rover’s latest Pivi Pro setup, even on the entry-level F-Pace trim. 

Expect wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard and insanely-fast load times. Interior quality is impressive too – leather as standard, an adjustable steering wheel and eight-way adjustable seats. Rear passengers have plenty of space, even if you’re over six foot.  

For more tech, go for the SE or HSE trims on the R-Dynamic model (the sporty one), and you’ll benefit from keyless entry, electric tailgate, Meridian sound system and 16-watt heated and cooled Windsor leather front seats.

What's the Jaguar F-PACE like to drive?

In a crowded SUV market, a used Jaguar F-PACE is an underrated gem. It drives like a rear-wheel car and there’s no body roll in the corners, so you can fling it around if you want to.  

The Jaguar F-PACE is incredibly comfortable and superbly practical. The whole family will feel cosseted doing hundreds of miles down the motorway because it’s quiet, smooth, and the finish inside is top-quality.   

Performance is where the F-PACE shines – all engines are quick, and, because of mild hybrid technology, efficient too.  

The P400 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine petrol engine does 0-62 in 5.4 seconds, so it’s quick as well as comfortable.  

The P400e plug-in hybrid is even quicker, with 0-62 in 5.3 seconds thanks to that electric motor, making it ideal for feeling the power while preserving fuel.  

The battery range for the plug-in hybrid model is 33 miles and it has a charging time of 0-80% in 30 minutes. For maximum fuel efficiency, this is your best bet because you’re looking at returns of 128.4 mpg.
