It is a new dawn at Jaguar Land Rover as it stuns the auto world by rolling out its first Sport Utility Vehicle, the F-Pace. The vehicle is said to combine elegance with sophistication and cutting edge technology.
The luxury automaker describes it as a high performance vehicle that is designed and engineered to offer agility, responsiveness and refinement.
“When sensational performance meets dramatic looks, the result is pure exhilaration. Add everyday practicality and you have the all-new F-Pace, the first Jaguar luxury performance SUV,” the automaker declares.
The manufacturer says its decision to unveil the luxury SUV in an African country, Mauritius, is not a mistake. It is first to showcase its unique performance in appropriate terrain; and the value attached to the Middle East and African markets.
The new vehicle comes with a number of exceptional features aimed at making it a force to reckon with in the SUV category, according to the automaker.
In a statement obtained via email, Jaguar says, “On the road, it will have tremendous presence, thanks to the slender full-LED headlights, short front overhang, powerful rear haunches, distinctive taillight graphics, and a sleek aerodynamic design.”
One unique feature of the car is its revolutionary Activity Key that will be relished by those with active lifestyle. This is a wearable accessory that also serves as a key fob, designed for those with active lifestyles.
The vehicle is built on the company’s Lightweight Aluminium Architecture, and retains bold styling cues that make it undeniably a Jaguar.
Inspired by the C-X17 Concept, the vehicle has been designed in two unique paint colours. The vehicle’s first edition offers individuality with exclusive design details, high specification features and a choice of engines.
Interior
With seating for five occupants — including best-in-class legroom for rear passengers — the luxurious interior is a perfect blend of premium materials and finishes, as well as exquisite detailing.
Passengers will have access to heated- and electrically reclining rear seats, while drivers benefit from cutting-edge technologies like the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system, a 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster and a laser head-up display.
F-Pace has an impressive 33.5 cubic feet of cargo space with seats up and a versatile 40:20:40 rear seat folding configuration. Every inch has been carefully considered for maximum usability.
The Operation Director, Jaguar Land Rover, sub-Sahara Africa, Nigel Clarke, was quoted as saying, “The F-Pace is our first SUV, and the latest addition to the growing Jaguar range. We are committed to developing high-performance luxury vehicles that cater to the needs of our customers all over the world.
“Sports cars are part of Jaguar’s DNA, and we’ve used this expertise to develop the F-Pace to be engaging to drive, while offering excellent interior space and superb practicality.”
Engine performance
The range of engines includes the 3.0 litre V6 380 PS Supercharged Petrol and the new 2.0 litre 4 cylinder 180PS Turbocharged Diesel Ingenium. This can achieve 4.9l/100km and CO2 emissions as low as 129g/km.
Jaguar says the new F-Pace combines maximum driving exhilaration with efficiency.
“Technologically advanced to the core, F-Pace keeps you safe, connected and entertained. It has the capability for every road and the capacity for every day. The F-Pace is a Jaguar for you, a Jaguar for your family.
Exterior
Visually inspired by F-Type, the new Jaguar F-Pace is a performance SUV that has the DNA of a sports car.
“From the hood bulge to the pronounced rear haunches, its powerful looks make it distinctive and give it a head-turning road presence. F-Pace reinvents the energy, strength and purity of form of F-Type,” Jaguar says.
