Is the Jaguar F-Pace a good car? 

The Jaguar F-Pace is the British firm's first foray into the ever-expanding SUV segment. Traditionally a sedan manufacturer, Jaguar acknowledged that customers were gravitating towards the SUV body shape and pivoted accordingly.

Who is the Jaguar F-Pace a good car for?

Buyers looking for a luxury, mid-size SUV with a high level of equipment and refinement will enjoy the F-Pace experience. It offers seating for five adults and enough packing space for the family's luggage or several sets of golf clubs.

Is the Jaguar F-Pace a good first car?

Prices for the Jaguar F-Pace start at well over R1.2-million which makes it a rather expensive first car. Despite the fact that the F-Pace will offer a host of driver assistance systems and cameras, the size of the F-Pace will prove challenging for those still getting accustomed to navigating the highways and byways.

Is the Jaguar F-Pace a good family car?

The F-Pace was designed to cater for families first. As such you get over 640 litres of boot space which can expand to a total of 1740 litres when the rear seats are folded forward. Safety is cateed for too with no fewer than 6 airbags fitted, even to the entry-level models.

 

Is there a Hybrid Jaguar F-Pace?

The F-Pace is available in a plug-in hybrid with a 17.1 kWh battery offering 53 km of pure electric driving from a full charge. The fuel consumption for this model is quoted to run as low as 2.2 l/100km.

What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

"In true F-Pace style, the steering is sharp and accurate (a great example of a well-developed electric steering rack, really), the handling balance is neutral up to very high limits, and the body control is firm but compliant when the road gets twisty. Our test car rolled on the optional 22-inch wheels, but even those failed to have too much of a negative impact on the ride quality."

Interior

What is the Jaguar F-Pace like inside? 

The Jaguar F-Pace is draped in leather, aluminium and raised stitching to create a luxurious environment that is both elegant and comfortable. The latest Pivi Pro infotainment system offers a range of connectivity solutions and audio streaming and digital climate controls to ensure that the occupants are comfortable as can be.

Style

Understated is probably the best way to describe the Jaguar F-Pace. The Ian Callum design manages to remain true to Jaguar's design ethos while incorporating modern SUV styling elements. The F-Pace offers an elegant and classy solution to the SUV conundrum and looks as at home at the country club as it does outside the school.
