Review and specifications
2023 Jaguar F-Pace
Jaguar's first SUV is based on a rear-wheel-drive platform shared with the XF and new XE. The F-Pace is quick, thanks to its 340-hp, supercharged 3.0-liter V6, but the omnipresent engine drone quickly becomes tiring. The S uses a 380-hp version of this engine, and a 2.0-liter turbodiesel is the base engine. All versions come with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The F-Pace is taut and nimble, contributing to the lively driving experience. However, the ride is stiff and choppy. The seats are comfortable, but interior quality isn't as impeccable as in the German competitors. The infotainment system is behind the times, utilizing a slow and fussy touch screen. Active safety features are available if you opt for the vision package. Updates for 2019 included lots of standard safety gear. New features for 2020 include standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, and four-way power lumbar support for front passengers on all but the base model. For 2021, the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 was replaced by a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine. Blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning are now standard. Models years 2023, 2024, and 2025 are mostly unchanged.

Brand context
About Jaguar
After a brief pause during which it built no vehicles, Jaguar is transitioning to an all-electric luxury brand. In years past, Jaguar was best known for its legendary sports cars, including the E-Type of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and luxurious sedans such as the XJ. The brand was reborn under Ford’s ownership in the 1990s, then sold to India’s Tata Group where it was merged with Land Rover. Eventually, big cars with wood-and-leather interiors gave way to sportier, fun-to-drive models including some compact and midsized SUVs. Jaguar’s first attempt at an EV, the I-Pace, failed to keep up with the competition, and the XF sedan continued on for years without major updates. Both Jaguar and Land Rover share some parts and underlying vehicle designs. Neither brand has shed its reputation for reliability issues, which makes it difficult to recommend used models—even though the XE and XF still offer impressive driving excitement and luxury.
