For those with a desire to keep their fuel bills low, the 20d model features an efficient turbocharged diesel engine that joins the BMW X3 as the only other SUV in the segment to offer such an engine (the Audi Q5 TDI is discontinued due to the VW emissions scandal). Acceleration is not surprisingly superior to most, as well, and comes attached to an F-Type-inspired boisterous exhaust note.


A supercharged V6 engine produces 340 horsepower (or 380 in the S model) at a price point where most competitors have turbocharged four-cylinders and 100 fewer horses. The ride may be a bit firm for some, however.īacking those dynamic talents up are a pair of appealing engines. The sharp steering, ultra-rigid structure, impeccably composed suspension and rear-biased all-wheel-drive system are all worthy of praise. Using the same mechanical bones as the XE and XF sport sedans as well as some F-Type inspiration, the F-Pace is indeed one of the most engaging SUVs in the class to drive. The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace: prettier and more practical than most.Ī secondary goal was for it to drive with the same verve as Jaguar's sedans and sports cars. Mission accomplished, yet as a bit of length, wheelbase and ground clearance were added to achieve eye-pleasing proportions, the resulting vehicle ended up with more backseat legroom, cargo space and off-road-friendly ground clearance than most of its competitors. Jaguar's primary goal when setting out to produce its first SUV was for it to be pretty.
