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!

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!

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.

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.

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
