Discover an approved used F-PACE through Stratstone
It was 2016 when Jaguar decided to launch their very first SUV with the birth of the F-PACE.
With a strong heritage for cars that feature sleek and sporty silhouettes, despite the F-PACE being an SUV, it still manages to pay homage to Jaguar sports car heritage and flair.
This makes the F-PACE one of the most striking SUVs on the market, which is not easy, when you take into account how popular SUVs are and therefore how hard it is to create something truly different.
Pros of the Jaguar F-PACE include:
- Striking design with sports car DNA
- Fun to drive
- Smooth, refined engine choice
- Jaguar badge kudos
Engines and Driving Experience
SUV stands for 'Sports Utility Vehicle', yet many are far from sporty. Fortunately, Jaguar sports car know-how has been sprinkled on the F-PACE. Therefore, this SUV offers an involving and sporty driving experience which delivers strong feedback, inspiring confidence and enjoyment.
Although this is an SUV, most of the time it acts like a rear-wheel drive car with little body roll.
The 2.0-litre diesel engines will suit most buyers. Neither are rapid but with 0 to 62mph between eight and ten seconds dependent on variant, neither feel slow. Petrol equivalents are available too, and offer slightly more performance, yet are not as economical.
If you want the very best, the 5.0-litre V8 SVR is the one to go for with 0 to 62mph taking just four seconds flat.
Practicality and Running Costs
A sizeable SUV of this nature is never going to have running costs similar to a supermini, however, running an F-PACE is not as expensive as you may think.
You will see up to 45mpg in diesel variants which is great for a car of this size, whilst petrol versions will return around 30mpg. Even the range-topping 5.0-litre V8 SVR can still return 23mpg, which isn't too bad considering the epic performance it possesses. It is worth looking out for later PHEV versions, which can offer mpg up to circa 100mpg.
As for practicality, there is a 613-litre boot space in the F-TYPE, meaning it offers more space than the BMW X4, Audi Q5 and Porsche Macan. However, the Mercedes-Benz GLE does offer slightly more at 630 litres.
Elsewhere, servicing is annually and can be taken care of at any Stratstone Jaguar retailer if you are looking for specialist care.
Interior, Technology, and Safety
Early cars feature analogue dials with a striking central infotainment screen. Facelifted cars take the overall ambience to a whole new level. This is thanks to a striking Pivi Pro infotainment system and digital instrument display, along with striking contrasting leather choices which ensure the updated F-PACE is truly stunning on the interior, as it is on the exterior.
Facelifted cars also get a comprehensive standard spec including touchscreen infotainment, LED lights, cruise control and a 3D surround camera. Earlier Sport trims are worth looking at too, featuring enhanced styling and nicer leather choices.
As for safety, the Jaguar F-PACE received a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, one of the reasons as to why it won the World Car of the Year award back in 2017. Autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and speed assist systems all come as standard.
Is the Jaguar F-PACE right for me?
In a world where the SUV continues to be one of the most popular vehicles on the road, the Jaguar F-PACE is a fine choice if you are in the market for a premium SUV that features sports car character and flair.
A Porsche Macan will be sharper to drive and has the kudos of a Porsche badge, whilst a Mercedes-Benz GLE offers that tiny bit more space.
An Audi Q5 arguably has a better interior on older models, but then the F-PACE beats it in the looks department, thanks to its sports car DNA.
