JAGUAR F-Pace is a stylish SUV that's traditionally British in its styling, both exterior and interior. Like almost all in its class it's aimed at being a people mover rather than an off-road vehicle. It is offered with a choice of two or all-wheel drive. Buyers tend to opt for the AWD, feeling that it gives them the feeling of travelling in a serious vehicle that they may take onto dirt roads of varying degrees of ruggedness. In any case, those who do want to get serious have the option of the brothers of the FPace, including Land and Range Rover models, as well as the grand daddy of them all - the Land Rover Defender. Jaguar has been a believer of aluminium in car construction and this lightweight material is used in the doors, bonnet and front guards. This keeps F-Pace’s weight down to as little

STYLING Highly respected car stylist Ian Callum, said: “With a clean sheet, it was a chance in a lifetime to come up with something really new. “The F-Pace is based on the C-X17 concept car and adds the space and practicality that SUV owners demand.” His design was just about perfect in the eyes of many who looked it over during our test week. The interior has the latest in contemporary design, but has a touch of the old-fashioned very-Jaguar luxury mixed into the contemporary sports SUV shapes. We like that.
ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS Jaguar F-Pace as tested features a fourcylinder turbo-diesel that produces 132 kW of power and 430 Nm of torque. That's not a huge amount of power for a Jaguar, but if you're not into drag racing off the lights you will find it adequate. In our test car it drove through all four wheels. There are V6 turbo-diesels as well and these provide huge amounts of grunt.
