Jaguar, traditionally known for sports cars, grand tourers, and luxury sedans, was initially hesitant to enter the SUV market - even though it shared a parent company with Land Rover, one of the world’s most respected 4x4 manufacturers. Jaguar’s loyal clientele favored sleek performance and refined elegance over the practicality of SUVs and station wagons. However, as market preferences evolved, Jaguar responded by launching the F-Pace, which quickly proved to be a game-changer, generating more demand than the company could initially fulfill.
Designed by Ian Callum, the visionary who shaped Jaguar’s aesthetic for over two decades, the F-Pace masterfully blended design cues from Jaguar’s established models while maintaining a distinct British identity. Its headlights echoed the sharp lines of the XF, while the grille and rear quarter panels took inspiration from the F-Type sports car. Elegant details like retractable door handles, first introduced on the F-Type, added both innovation and sophistication to the crossover. The F-Pace effectively bridged the gap for Jaguar enthusiasts seeking additional cargo space without sacrificing luxury or style, attracting a new customer base that wanted the prestige of the Jaguar name alongside SUV practicality.
Jaguar further expanded its appeal with the introduction of a plug-in hybrid version of the F-Pace, combining performance with eco-consciousness - a critical move as the automotive industry increasingly prioritized electrification. Leveraging expertise from sister brand Land Rover, the 2016 F-Pace shared its platform with the Range Rover Velar, blending the strengths of both companies to deliver a competitive luxury SUV.
The 2020 refresh of the F-Pace included significant updates, featuring a sleeker front end with a smoother hood and newly designed pixel-LED headlights that adapt to oncoming traffic, offering both style and advanced functionality. The redesigned front bumper incorporated three air intakes to improve brake and radiator cooling, while the rear taillights, though slim like earlier models, were enhanced with LED technology for improved visibility and modern appeal.
Inside, the F-Pace’s cabin reflected Jaguar’s reputation for refined luxury. The instrument cluster showcased a central tachometer, flanked by a digital speedometer and a secondary display, all rendered on vibrant TFT screens. The infotainment system was completely redesigned, featuring an impressive 11.4” curved-glass HD touchscreen for intuitive control. The gear selector was updated from a rotary dial to a more tactile lever, elevating the driving experience with a classic, premium feel.
Under the hood, the 2020 F-Pace offered an array of powertrains, including gasoline, diesel, and hybrid options, with outputs ranging from 250 to 404 horsepower. The hybrid variant offered an ideal blend of luxury, power, and fuel efficiency - perfect for urban commuters and long-distance drivers alike.
