20 months and 24K miles
I skipped the R-Sport because the 20 inch wheels ride and accelerate better than the 22s, but this is the sportiest SUV this side of the much smaller Macan or Alfa. Right in the middle of the Macan and Cayenne and X3 and X5 which for me was the sweet spot. I regularly tow a 6x12' trailer loaded to about 4000 lbs with this and it has no problems stopping or going whatsoever. I even towed it up a wet grass/mud hill while loaded and I don't even think a single tire slipped. You can nail it full throttle in the rain and it doesn't spin, it just goes like hell. The AWD on this SUV is phenomenal. Is the mileage great, no, but for the power and size of this vehicle there is nothing better out there unless you want to spend $100k on a Model X and have the trim fall off. Since buying this I have duplicated all of it's rational capabilities with other vehicles and it makes no sense for me to keep making payments on it, but I love it too much to get rid of it. It is a great combination of sport, utility and luxury that I feel is just too good to part with. I've had one issue, it wouldn't eject a cd, and the dealership replaced the unit for free, although I've never played another cd since then.

Jaguar Rebirth Without Question, Not one issue!!!
I've had my Jaguar F Pace S since March of 2017 and I bought it new with 8 miles on it. I've driven it long and hard on many trips and in daily driving and always performs at the top of it's game since the first day I bought it. The biggest misinformation issue I've noticed on the YouTube reviews by the professional talking press and personal opinion heads is that it has a rough ride. But what everyone failed to mention is that there is a comfort mode option which is what I used the majority of the time unless I'm out intentionally racing around for fun. The ride is just as smooth as all the other cars I drove which included but was not limited to Porsche, Audi, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, etc. I've driven them all and have own most of them. 99% of the talking head video reviews are non owners who spend just minutes with the car or any car. But the F Pace and F Pace S all ride with great handling and performance and ride just as smooth in comfort mode. My ponies get up and go religiously without fail. I have no thoughts on the Jaguar service department because I've never had to use it, other than my normal oil changes, etc. The warranty was a huge seller for me as well. Nothing like it on any other car that I'm aware of. I drove all the Porsche SUV's and other than needless expensive wood species or other non important things to me they have no comparison to the Jaguar F Pace, especially the aesthetics. Their almost as boring looking as the Tesla in my opinion. It makes absolutely no sense rolling out all the extra dough for Maserati, Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc. just to have an ego badge and while looking financially ignorant to be gaudy and showy. The F Pace is a much more sophisticated statement indeed, not to mention the most discrete and best looking car out of the whole bunch. I come from the high end design world who gets scale, etc. and making all types of design statements for the the top 10% of the 1%. And Jaguar hit the nail on the head with the F-pace from aesthetics, to performance, to reliability, and value.

First Jaguar, no dissapointment
Paid little more for 2018 model but wanted to have most of the initial quality issues to be solved. So far after 700miles of driving no major issues. Car drives perfectly. Its spacious, quick, comfortable (after adjusting tire pressure which was to high initially) and corners like a sedan. Also interior, in contrary to many reviews, feels fine. No squeaks, rattles etc and materials are quite pleasant. Audio system is very good as well as navigation (after couple of days I've stopped using google maps on my smart phone). Great car, absolutely no regrets buying it. Even though the initial quality is very good I am little worried about long term reliability but the 5years/60000miles full warranty helps. 1 year update - car still works great and is as much fun as at the beginning. It was very dependable in the snow over the winter. ICTP was updated to fix couple of minor bugs as well as upgrade to 4G network but other than that car runs trouble free. Still hoping for Apple CarPlay upgrade at some point. 2nd year update - 36k miles and still very satisfied customer. After latest infotainment software upgrade I was able to add Apple Car play as well as OTA options for future upgrades (I hope this will really work). Still drives and feels like new, including the interior, no mechanical issues whatsoever. During the Tahoe winter I had a set of winter Michelin x-ice tires and the car was unstoppable in the snow. Consistently getting 25-27MPG during relaxed hwy cruising.

My 2018 JAGUA... F-Pace
I originally purchased a 2017 F-Pace. I had trouble with the "infotainment" center and the dealer eventually replaced the car with a 2018 F-Pace since they could not fix it. I thought it was the first model year and they just needed to work out the issues. So far with the 2018 F-Pace I started with more problems with the infotainment system, they updated the software and this time it works most of the time, the sunroof cracked (they said a small rock must have hit it-I think I would have heard the rock hit it, but ok), the check coolant light kept coming on, I added more coolant even though the car was not that old, the light came on again, I called the dealer, the hoses popped off when I was driving and smoke started pouring out of the hood (I thought the car was going to burst into flames), they towed it to the dealership and replaced the hoses, the check coolant light keeps coming on, the engine fan runs like a jet engine, they replaced the water pump, the coolant light kept coming on again, the water pump was replaced a second time, the engine fan makes strange gurgling noises as if something else is wrong.... The letters fell off the back of the car and I was driving a JAGUA until I took it to the dealer to fix, they replaced the R on the logo and re-glued the rest of the letters so they didn't fall off too . , I sent a certified letter to Jaguar USA and never heard from them. I guess they only respond to negative posts online. What a shame.
Jaguar F Pace Road Trip to US National Parks.
Purchased a 2018 F-Pace Presige 3.5t V6 in July 2018 my first ever Jaguar and have been absolutely delighted. Took a Road Trip from Minneapolis to Mount Rushmore > The Bad-Lands> Yellowstone>Grand Teton>Arches>Canyonlands and back 3900 miles in 10 days.....an awesome drive with all conditions and the F Pace was brilliant. The overall handing is exceptional and ride most comfortable and quiet for highways, long hill climbs , steep sharp corners. The acceleration to 80mph ( Western Highways) is exhilarating. Storage more than adequate with easy access. After 14,000 miles ready for second annual service with zero issues to date. I suspect this SUV will continue to keep company with my 1973 TR6 for a long time .

Jaguar F-Pace Diesel VS Lexus RX350
This review is for the 2018 F-Pace 2.0 Diesel with 7,000 miles. Absolutely no technical issues till this day. Vehicle made in Great Britain, engine Great Britain, transmission from Germany. We are in early 40’s, in the garage we also have the 2016 Lexus RX350 made in Canada, and also no majors problems with this vehicle. Wife prefers RX350 because of roomier interior, quieter and softer ride, more luxurious interior feel, high end materials, brave exterior design, best LED headlights in the industry, overall: “women’s car”. l did notice about 80% women are RX’s drivers. I also liked RX350, but absolutely love the F-Pace. Best driving vehicle I have ever owned, pure pleasure on the turns. In my opinion best looking in the segment, handles like a sport sedan due to torque vectoring and sport suspension. Accelerates like another brand's gas V6’s due to turbo charger, and very high torque 318 ft. lbs. Absolutely great all weather performance due to standard Land Rover’s AWD technology (rear axle based!!). Very sensitive steering wheel specially in Sport mode – this vehicle really listens to you and you fully feel the car (Swiss precision). Great navigation system, many great features from 5 year free Jaguar Remote App, panoramic glass roof, large trunk. And absolute segment leader (including Hybrids) 32 mpg city, 38 mpg highway. Very cool movable gear selector knob, and the main thing: British prestige. Yes, there are small issues I did notice: interior should have more high quality (remember, mine is base model...), auto start/stop don’t remember your preferences after engine restart, not too roomie and no reclining rear seats (mine is base...maybe because this is sport not family car), rear and side visibility not to good, and weak base headlights (mine are not LED), mediocre base sound system, unpainted cheep plastic door handle inside, not very pleasant interior smell (mine is artificial leather, maybe that’s why). Quick conclusion: This vehicle is designed for people who enjoying driving, not for family soft and luxury cruising. It has legendary Land Rover off road roots, and the famous handling from Jaguar's long motor sport history. If you are bored of German or Japanese luxury cars, looking for something not thirsty, unique and prestige, handsome and fresh, sporty performing, handling, steering and accelerating, 5 years free maintenance and 5 years b2b warranty, F-Pace 2.0 Diesel is definitely for you. If you have a family, or looking for softer, quieter and luxurious ride, buy RX350. But please remember one thing: on winding roads driving super comfy RX350 you will be slower at least 30 mph. And last interesting info I just learned about how “boutique” this brand is: Jaguar sold in the whole USA the same amount of cars as BMW sold just in the Chicagoland in the same period of time. Would you like to drive something unique? Thanks for reading, and good luck with your decision!

bad a$$
First SUV that wasn't a Toyota and loving it. Drove interstate speeds for a long distance and averaged 30mpg in eco mode. At in town speeds, I sometimes opt for the paddle shifters as the car does hunt for the proper gear on inclines. The turbo inline 2.0 4 cylinder has not disappointed us in performance and the handling is definitely Jaguar sedan type. Acceleration is VERY responsive. The seats hold you firmly on sharp turns and the vehicle holds the road like a sports sedan. All the cargo room you'd ever want and, while we probably differ from other SUV owners, we like to feel the road and there is just enough with the F-Pace with the 19" wheels to realize you are on a road and not sitting in your living room on cushy couch. For us, the amenities and electronics are not distracting and very functional. We did purchase a set of Worth floor mats to protect the carpeting as we intend on keeping the vehicle for quite awhile and they are well worth the $200. Jury is still out on cost of ownership but the factory warranty, while not great, is very adequate. Have had the vehicle less than 30 days and most categories in the rating scheme are N/A at this time. 06/05/18... A few too many little things that don't work as they should (especially for the price you pay) with technology, climate control, remote start app, door locks. We have found that it's to our benefit to let the engine warm in the winter as you really get turbo lag if you don't. The auto did perform really well on an extended trip and the ride was, in our opinion, more comfortable than a Toyota 4Runner. The gas mileage averaged 27 in the standard driving mode. The front door opening could be 1-2 inches taller even with the seats pretty back as far as possible. 12/05/18.... Too bad they don't make vehicles nowadays to get from point A to point B without all the "extras". Too many little things can go wrong or don't work as advertised and the really sad thing, the car dealers don't have a clue what the cause of the problem might be nor how to fix it right the first time. Such was our experience with the F-Pace and Aristocrat Motors in Merriam, KS. All this finally culminated with us trading our F-Pace after only 12 months of ownership for a more reliable SUV and much better service. Unfortunately, the F-Pace joins the ranks of overloaded SUV's that todays driver thinks he needs to get from point A to point B.

Supercharged Luxury
Purchased the 35t Prestige V6. Highly recommend the optional LED headlights for this model year as they project brighter light and throw a greater distance down the road. Overall power, acceleration, traction, handling, ride smoothness, comfort and interior space are top notch. The sound system is not bad and I regularly average over 24 mpg in mixed driving running Eco mode, but can reach 28mpg on longer highway drives. Heated windshield also helps defrost the front glass quickly and effortlessly on icy winter days. Smart systems like audible alerts for highway speed cameras are helpful. Ran into some issues with a defective differential, but it was replaced under warranty and no issues since. This is a good alternative to the Porsche Macan for those who need more leg room and cargo room.

So much potential, but falls flat
Excellent fuel economy on the diesel avg 32mpg. Fuel tank is small at about 15 gallons. Handling and takeoff is great for a small Diesel engine. Exterior looks beautiful, however interior is disappointing. The materials on the inside are crap. Hard to clean and stains easily. They cut so much corners to make it low budget with a high price tag. At sticker over 55k you don’t even get keyless entry or lumbar support. Either get a killer lease deal on it or go with a Japanese competitor that will give you value for dollar.
Perfect car to lease
My wife and I leased a 2018 F pace diesel for her to do the 120 mile round trip commute. Mileage was between 38 mph to 26 mph depending on how you drive . Trim was a Premium so leather was stander and just the basics , no heated/ac seats . When you get to the more higher end luxury cars you have to worry about cost to maintain and reliability. Unfortunately at 30k miles the engines turbo went out and damaged the engine. Total cost to repair was 17 thousand, fortunately it was under warranty. If it happened after warranty I don’t know what I/ we would of done. Other then that no problems. Realize a higher end vehicles come at a premium to repair if you plan on owning. But I loved that car other then that.

So far not so good
Three days after my purchase, I began having issues with the vehicle making strange noises and slowing down abruptly while on the road, the gas cap warning light and the engine light stayed on as well. I shared this with the dealership and it took several trips there before the grunting and speed reduction issue was corrected. It’s been a full 2 months since I complained of the issues and last week after having repairs completed regarding the gas cap and engine light at the dealership, I’m still having the same issues. When I first got the vehicle it was love at first sight but now I deeply regret my purchase. I’ve made a total of 6 trips to Rockville regarding this matter and it’s been a disaster.

Beware!
This vehicle is a nightmare after warranty expires. I have had to replace several modules.But the most recent experience was a wire shorting out which resulted in complete loss of gearbox,ABS and power. The dealer took 8 weeks to diagnose the problem at a cost of $12,000!

SUV/Crossover most fun to drive
Best looking suv one on the market. No comparison. Bought S trim with supercharged V6 and 380hp and is super sporty. Same engine as the Jaguar F type. A little pricey but comes with a lot of standard features. Handles great. It really hugs the road. Pick up is great and very responsive. Very smooth 8-speed transmission. Interior very nice and intuitive. If you don’t want a typical suburb suv that looks the same as most others and want your time on the road not to be boring then consider this car or get the R Sport trim with the V6 340 hp engine. Has most of the options, but not the exceptional feature of configurable adaptive dynamics and adaptive surface response systems for the engine. There are many good cars in competition out there: Q5, Macan, X5, XC 90, GLE 300, etc. Tried them all. None drove as exciting as the F Pace.

A lot of fun to drive!
I was a Mercedes Benz customer and have tried most luxury SUVs cars, but once we drove the F-Pace for the first time we knew this is the one. It is like driving a sports car in a Sedan platform, very responsive, suspension feels great and stability is surprisingly good. I have admit that cockpit is not my favorite, as the Velar it the best right now, but driving it is more fun than the Velar guaranteed
zero issues or repairs to date
bought it so as one of the few rigs that would fit 3 child cars seats wide in the year short of some monster size SUV/truck/ Van. So now we have a fun grandma grandpa " sports car". Only complaint is the seat belt retract mechanism when using a booster seat. It gets hung up from time to time due to the angle that the belt comes out from and we have to check it every time, and when it does it does not retract.

Love the acceleration!
I have had the F-Pace for a month now, bought it used. It is an exceptional vehicle. It is the 3.0t, so 296bph. Love the Acceleration! comfortable on long rides when you tweak the seat position. Only improvement if I had known prior to buying I would have gotten the Prestige vs. the Premium I got. It has the additional features I expected in a luxury vehicle. Such as Lumbar and brighter lights. The warranty gives me comfort, basically bumper to bumper other than tires, brakes and wipers for 5 years. Based on my experience so far, I will trade it in a couple to three years and make sure I get the prestige! So good, did great on our last 1000mile trip, including high mountain passes.

Great mpg
This is not a 33 mpg diesel car. We average an unheard of 56 mpg at 70 mph! and don’t think the tiny diesel 2.0 wad is a slouch at the light either.

Best Ever! Diesel Is Fab. 30-45MPG
Until a minor "check engine light" issue at 24,000 miles this vehicle had only had one oil change per warranty. Dealer got the oil filter senor replaced and we are back enjoying this fabulous SVR. I see Jag is going all electric in 2025, but until then Diesel for me. Love my F-Pace. So much fun to drive

Fun SUV even new engine after 125.000km
I love this F-PACE-S 6cyl. supercharge! It is fun and practical in every day, even new engine installed under the hood after 125.000 km driven. The crankshaft went through the engine block while driving on a highway. The local distributor performed a replacement of the new Jaguar-supplied 6 cyl. engine.

It's all about the ride.
First off, I can't tell you how much I want to like this SUV. Best looking SUV on the road hands down. Plus it's sporty, fun to drive, and just plain cool. But, I simply can't deal with that ride. Smooth until you hit a pothole or uneven pavement, then the impact is harsh enough to knock the fillings out of your teeth. Yes, it's that abrupt and harsh. Very noticeable. I understand it's a "sport SUV", but for every day driving in a city full of nothing but horrible road issues (in this case, Houston), it's just too burdensome. I think Jaguar should offer an Fpace model tuned for a softer ride.

Great Mechanics / So-So Appointments
There are a lot of things to like about the car, (I love the styling and performance; not so much premium fuel); but there are a lot of things missing on this model that you would expect to have as standard on a $$ Jaguar. The seats are "faux leather" & dash /inside side panels are plastic; there is no standard satellite radio or CD, and the radio doesn't show the artist or song; the standard headlights are halogen, not Xenon; there is no standard front or rear parking sensors or blind-spot monitor; there isn't even a compass. Most of these things I have on a 2003 Infiniti FX45 and 2012 Volvo. "My bad" that I expected these things, thought I'd be OK without them, and then discovered how much they are missed after I purchased the car. I located an "upgraded" model that had the things that I wanted that were missing, but was told that my car had already decreased ~$7K in value in three months and I would need to pay an additional $12K for the same year car with the "extras." So I'm deciding whether to "settle" or to look into another vehicle altogether. I really expected more from a brand like Jaguar, and hate that I am so disappointed.

This one is the bomb.
Let's start with the power. You get in and bam this car has great acceleration and power and sips the gas at 28+ mpg. Great ride we were cruising at 90 and it felt like 50. This car goes. Heated and cooled leather seats welcome you. After a day of driving you feel relaxed and ready to drive some more. This car is a dream to drive. The full panoramic sun roof is awesome. The car has great visibility and virtual no blind spots. Jaguar uses the meridian sound system that I think blows away the competition. The navigation system is easy to use and very intuitive. The incontrol apps make remote starting and finding your car after the NFL game easy. Jaguar is spot on with the F Pace. Another winner in my book. We love ours. To add icing to the cake the team at Willis of Des Moines are great to work with, thanks Todd and Jack for the great experience.

Great Vehicle, but poor leasing plans
I compared F Pace with it's German Competitors and the vehicle really stood out. It performs really well, its little compact considering the E Pace is already a compact version available for this brand, they can make it little bit bigger. I have a dog so I'm biased about the size. If I was in the market to purchase I wouldn't think twice but leasing is not a good option for this brand. They need to work on it little bit more so they don't lose customers like me to BMW and Mercedes.
