Jaguar F-Pace (2016 to 2024)

Model reviewed: 5.0-litre petrol automatic SVR Edition 1988
Score: 8 / 10
“The Jaguar F-Pace SVR Edition 1988 serves as a reminder of just how sorted the standard car is. Its savage powerplant dominates proceedings, but the SVR’s absorbing handling, interior tech and refinement place it among the best performance SUVs you can buy. However, the Edition 1988’s cosmetic tweaks aren’t enough to justify the huge price premium.”

“The updates to the F-Pace line-up make it a more appealing prospect than ever before, and it should be on any premium SUV buyer’s shortlist. Sharp handling and strong performance are a given, but it’s now backed up by possibly the best infotainment system in the segment, and a beautifully finished and practical cabin.”

“Nice update of what may be Jaguar’s most competitive model. But the PHEV is priced high against prestige rivals.”

“The Jaguar F-Pace is an attractive SUV that drives well and now has an ace interior, but suffers from an ill-suited powertrain in P400 form.”

“The Jaguar F-Pace P400e is a very luxurious way in which to cover long distances at high speed. It can also drive 20-30 miles on electric power. It can also cope with ice-covered roads thanks to its all-wheel-drive system. It has a comfortable ride and good handling for such a big car.” (Paul Clarke)

Model reviewed: 2.0-litre diesel automatic R-Sport
Score: 9 / 10
“The Jaguar F-Pace looks fantastic. It’s also excellent to drive. For motorway miles, the 2.0-litre diesel engine is relatively efficient. However this engine can sound strained when pushed, so if you’re buying an F-Pace with your own money, and if you want to enjoy driving it, you should try the 3.0-litre diesel, which still returns 47mpg.”

“The Jaguar F-Pace rocked the SUV market when it arrived in 2016. Here’s a car that’s big enough to carry your family yet still fun to drive, while its head-turning looks are bold enough to make some buyers think twice about a BMW X3 or Audi Q5 – and even the Porsche Macan.”

“The sensible 2.0-litres still feel more naturally agile and lighter on their feet – which they are, by a staggering 200kg – but the V6s were never proper performance versions, nor quiet enough to be luxurious. This SVR is the pick of the range, even if it’s lightly mad when really pushed.”

Model reviewed: 2.0-litre diesel automatic
“It’s arguably a sweeter car than the V6 diesel. Its peak torque arrives sooner, making the engine keener to respond in slow-moving traffic and on tight urban roads. Plus the 2.0d is more than 100 kilos lighter than the 3.0d V6. Go for a rear-drive manual and you can lop another 100kg off.”
