The design of the F-Pace is based on the Jaguar C-X17 concept car, which was unveiled on September 9, 2013, at the Frankfurt Motor Show.[6][7] The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace has been named the honorary winner of the 2017 World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year Awards at the New York International Auto Show.[8][9] The F-Pace is built at Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull plant along with the Range Rover Velar and employs an additional 1,300 workers.[6]

Launch

edit

An F-Pace production prototype made its public debut on 4 July 2015 by leading out the Team Sky professional cycle racing team during Le Grand Départ in Utrecht, Netherlands, at the start of the 2015 Tour de France. Customer deliveries started in April 2016 in Europe, and in May 2016 in the United States. The car made its official public début at the September 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.[10] Ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, an F-Pace, driven by professional stunt driver Terry Grant, performed a world-record-breaking 360 degree loop-the-loop.[11]

Engines

edit

The F-Pace is offered with the Jaguar Land Rover's Ingenium 2.0L turbocharged diesel and 2.0L petrol turbocharged engines, available in the Prestige, Portfolio and R-Sport specifications, while the 3.0L turbocharged diesel (except in the United States) and supercharged petrol are available in the S and First Edition specifications. The F-Pace is offered in both RWD and AWD variants. The F-Pace SVR is also powered by Jaguar's 5.0L AJ133 supercharged V8 producing 550PS (542 hp) and 680 Nm[12]

In late 2020, a facelift on the vehicle occurred and it was given a new 2.0L i4 PHEV engine combination, as well as a 3.0L i6 mild hybrid engine, utilizing a 48 Volt belt alternator starter system and an electric supercharger.[13][14][15] The mild hybrid technology was added to other vehicles such as the diesel 2.0L i4.[16]

Transmission

edit

F-Pace models are equipped with the same ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic transmission as other D7a platform vehicles, a lighter variant of the gearbox currently fitted to other Jaguar models. A six-speed ZF manual gearbox is available on the lower-powered diesel models.[17]

Exterior

edit
 
Jaguar F-Pace SVR

Ian Callum was the exterior designer for the F-Pace. The body structure comprises 80 per cent aluminium, and additional weight savings come from the composite tailgate and magnesium for parts such as the cross-car beam. The body's high torsional stiffness enables the F-Type-derived double-wishbone front suspension and sophisticated Integral Link rear suspension to perform even better. Together with Torque Vectoring as standard and an Electric Power Assisted Steering system tuned to give the best possible feel and response.[2]

Chassis

edit
 
F-Pace cutaway

The F-Pace chassis is the third model to be built on Jaguar Land Rover's iQ-Al (D7a) modular platform, which is used for the XE, the second generation XF, and the Range Rover Velar.[18] The design features double wishbone suspension at the front, with similarities to the system fitted to the XF and F-Type models, and the rear features an entirely new subframe mounted multi-link suspension system, named by Jaguar as Integral Link. This system is a more costly combination to manufacture but allows for greater tuning to provide a good balance between handling and ride quality.[19]

Interior

edit

The interior of the F-Pace features several existing Jaguar design cues, including the rotary gear selector which rises when the car is started. The central console, when equipped with the upgraded InControl Touch Pro system, features a 10.2 in (25.9 cm) touch screen allowing access to in-car entertainment, satellite navigation, and various vehicular settings, such as the G-Meter and engine/gear shift/steering/suspension parameters. Navigation can also be shown full-screen in 3D on an additional 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster. The F-Pace features smartphone connectivity with Wifi Hotspot, and some models allow the owner to control the vehicle remotely, pre-heating the interior or unlocking the car using a smartphone application.[2] The F-Pace is also the first vehicle in Jaguar's range to feature the Activity Key, a waterproof wrist band that unlocks the F-Pace allowing the main keys to be left inside, thus preventing possible water damage.[2]

Worldwide sales

edit

Although its 2016 sales were for a partial year only, it became the best selling Jaguar model for the year.[20]

Year Sales
2016 45,973 [21]
