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.

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.

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.

My 2018 JAGUA... F-Pace

2018 Jaguar F-PACE 30t Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
28 of 29 people found this review helpful
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.
Absolutely amazing

This vehicle has well surpassed all of my expectations. It is fun to drive, and regardless of what the fuel economy ratings say- I was averaging nearly 38mpg in eco mode! And it has plenty of power, and is very responsive. It gets even better in dynamic mode. I am so happy with my F-pace. Edit- after a couple months of driving I still love my F-pace. I have averaged 32-33 mpg in Eco mode which well surpassed my expectations. Edit- After two years, I can confidently say I still love the car. And I can even more confidently say I am very disgusted with the dealership and service department. The customer service is sub par the closer I got to my warranty expiring, and even most recently I had some issues with the car and no one ever called me back. I even reached out to Jaguar corporate and received no response. So if I could rate the dealership I would give it zero stars, but the car is still great. Edit- after three years, my ownership of the F-pace came to an end. I did suffer a catastrophic failure of the power steering system only 4,000 miles after my warranty expired. The dealership fought for me, and petitioned Jaguar to pay for this repair since it never should have happened in the first place. This was a 100% manufacturers defect and failure and not maintenance related. Jaguar agreed to cover the parts but I was still out thousands of dollars in labor. The F-Pace ultimately met it's end when I unfortunately hit a deer at approximately 60mph directly in the grill. The front end, radiator support and intercooler/rad was pushed back approximately 8 inches into the block of the engine and extreme body damage was done. However, I was still able to drive it back home (slowly) and we didn't even feel the impact. The safety standards are top notch. The car crumbled exactly how it was designed to. The only thing I will urge you is to get full coverage and new car replacement insurance on this brand, as the deer caused roughly 20k in damages before the insurance adjuster called it (and they hadn't even opened the hood yet...). So this was a great car and I miss it terribly. My takeaway is this; get the longest extended warranty possible and adequate insurance!

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 .

If you can, get yourself the S. The 3.0L engine develops 380 bhp and it flys. Not literally of course, but you will have a big smile on your face as you leave the remainder of the traffic lined up with you at the set of lights still sitting there when you are a half mile down the road. This does work best if you are the first in line at the lights, but I am sure it works wherever you are in the line. Aside from the acceleration it just feels like quality. Equipped with the optional sports seats this is a very comfortable drivers position, giving you such a secure feeling as you turn into a corner it is almost womb like. I really don’t know where the criticism of the interior is justified, it is not Bentley luxurious but it seems more than adequately solid for this price range. One problem with the vehicle, it does attract a lot of looks, and comments. “See this smile? It tells you everything you want to know” I tell them.

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!

This 2019 F-Pace has a few electrical gremlins. Other than the occasional refusal to shift gears, or automatically restart after stopping, its a wonderful road car! smooth and quiet on most road surfaces. Not so much going over speed bumps... very stiff... go slowly! Performance with the 2.5 turbocharged engine rivals my previous supercharged 3 liter V6. Impressive acceleration when needed. Jaguar got the message, and increased the fuel capacity by 5 gallons. 21.7 gallons allows me to easily drive well over 400 miles on a tank. My best is 26 mpg from Carmel, CA to Orange county CA. Overall I've enjoyed my two F-Pace (s) since 2017. Quiet and very solid feeling, great carrying capacity, as well as reasonable mileage for a performance SUV along the lines of the Porsche Macan, Alfa Stevio, and Maserati Lavente... at a more reasonable price.

A true 'Sport' utility vehicle

Having owned the car for about a year now, I can safely say this is by far the best car I've ever owned. I'll start off with the cons: some people would prefer the seat leather to have more softness to it, although the seats are incredibly comfortable, and there are a few hard plastics in the lower door panels. It would be nice if the second row slid forward/aft, but the seat backs recline and there's plenty of leg room, even for my 6'2" son. Lastly, it would be nice if there were direct buttons for the vented seat controls, as opposed to having to hit two menu functions to access them. Here's the rest of it, pretty much all good.... It has the handling of my late model Corvette, the luxury of my recent GLS450, and the cargo space of a mid-size SUV. I don't know how any car with almost 9" of ground clearance can handle as well as the f-pace does. The car seems to disappear around you as you increase speed on a curvy, winding road. Responses are immediate, but never touchy, and there is good road feel and feedback through the steering wheel and controls. The ride is firm, but never rough, and it will stay planted through a bumpy corner even at high speed. We get low 20s around town, and well over 30 on the highway for mileage, and we do drive the car the way it was meant to be driven, so the mileage is even more impressive because of that. We have the 4-cylinder engine, it's not a rocket ship but it is never lacking for power even with four people and a week's worth of luggage. The Meridian audio system is terrific, the vented seats blow cool air immediately, and the heated seats and steering wheel get very warm. The layout is pretty good, everything is pretty much touch screen based, although there are some hard buttons at the lower portion of the dash. See comfort is excellent, ours have adjustable bolsters and thigh extensions, and are great for hours of driving. The second row seats are very comfortable as well, and recline slightly. The cargo area is huge, perhaps the biggest in class, and we're never lacking space for week long trips to the lake or wherever we are going. This is a true luxury / performance SUV, that handles better than most supports sedans and sports cars I have owned. It's Firm, but comfortable on bumpy roads, and can tackle off-roading and snow and slush equally well, with several drive modes and low speed cruise control for inclement weather or mud. Keep in mind the all-wheel drive system is Land Rover based so it's excellent under any conditions. I didn't expect to like this car as much as I have. The two tone interior impresses everybody, looks sharp, and as well laid out overall. The exterior is one of the nicest I've seen on any vehicle ever, And although that's subjective, most people tend to agree it's a very good looking SUV. It's also nice that you don't see one on every corner, my neighborhood is loaded with Q7, q8, GLEs, x5s, and numerous other European machinery, so it's nice not to have something that gets lost in the crowd. anybody looking for a luxurious, but especially fun to drive SUV, owes it to themselves to drive an F-Pace.We looked at it initially just because we thought it was a beautiful looking vehicle, and after driving it we knew it was the one for us.. We will definitely be considering Jaguar products in the future.

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.

The battery went out in my first week on owning it. Battery went dead second week I owned it. They replaced battery. There’s some issue with the radiator in the fan because the fan runs all the time. My check engine light went on this week and with all of the other problems that I’ve decided not to mention I wanted to cry in the parking lot when it lit up. Because I knew it would be another month before their service department to get me an appointment with a loaner vehicle. I just want to get out of this lease

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.

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

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.

There is no doubt that this car is the gem of its class. It clearly has the best look af them all, the S version is powerful and fun to drive and the SVR even blows away the Cayenne turbo! And, the best warranty of them all with full maintenance included. Youd be nuts not to take a close look at this monster! Customer service is also better than BMW, Mercedes and Porsche. It's a no brainer...

Have had absolutely no issues at all! It is a pleasure to drive and comfortable after long stretches. Drove to Fl from Jersey and after 10 hours at a time we emerged without the normal aches and pains and just plain fatigue from sitting in the car for so long. The seats are wonderfully adjustable and supportive. Would gladly buy again especially since my service advisor Julian, is amazing, always going above and beyond. It is part of the reason why we wound up buying 2 e-paces to replace our other vehicles. We can now proudly say we are Jaguar owners all the way, no issues with any of them, just pure enjoyment! I wish I could add more superlatives to this review. The vehicle continues to give us trouble free comfortable transportation. Our next car will rely be another Jaguar, and in addition to all the great things about these cars you can’t beat the 5 year warranty. Kudo to JLR for a truly remarkable vehicle as of 12/23 currently debating whether to buy another one or keep this one since it’s been a truly fabulous vehicle to own ! I don’t think based on the performance of our 2019 there is any other vehicle to look at, this car has needed nothing other than annual maintenance and the service can’t be matched. Worth the wait to get one…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The seats in a premium Jaguar FPace is like pleather.. For a luxury car that has such a high MSRP I was expecting leather specially that the premium 25t is not their basic model. Also the steering wheel has the same material. When driving it, it sounds like you are rubbing plastic. I also looke at their prestige model and although it had leather seats the steering wheel material was the same.. You will only be paying for the brand not the vehicle interior. Besides that you have to add features that now are basic in cars boosting the price to close to $60,000.. Don't expect to negotiate with the dealer any of the price such as MSRP or selling price because all they want to know is " how much can your monthly payment be. If you can't pay $600 or more there is nothing they will do.. I loved the exterior but the interior was extremely disappointing. Jaguar needs to make leather standard in all their vehicles.. Maybe another generation for me!! Not worth the asking price.

I leased this vehicle. the first and biggest disappointment is the seat. The design is very odd. I have the most advanced seat with all possible adjustments but I can't get it how I want it. It is either sinking in so you cant see the consul or too tight where you knee hits the middle section. very disappointed. The car comes with 360 view but that view doesn't work when the car is in reverse which is when you most need it. Also when you are backing the car up, all other options are deactivated for instance you can not initiate your seat warmer. The engine and acceleration and other engine and technology options work just fine tho.

I have leased this vehicle for the last 27 months. It gets great gas mileage up to 34 mph on the Hwy. It is great for long trips. Pros: beautiful interior, comfort, sound system Meridian 800 watts, leather cooled/heated seats, love the emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, Sirius XM, CD, plenty of rear seat legroom for 6’ tall adults, it handles fantastic on all drive settings, does very well in the snow and on steep hills together, the AWD has great stability and grips the road. I live in the mountains with lots of poor kept roads, that are steep, tight and curvy and it handles just like the cat it is. I feel very safe in this vehicle. Just as much as my other vehicle a 2018 Ford Expedition 4x4. The Cons: Find it hard to get in and out without hitting my head even with the seats all the way down and back, steering wheel all the way up. I am getting better with the ducking and lacks much truck space. I have to make a decision next year to either buy it or turn it in. I have to say I have only 7,000 miles on it. I am retired. I love it enough to keep it, but do I really need another vehicle. Unfortunately, my two dogs (80 and 158 lbs-no typo) cannot fit into the F-Pace. They barely fit in the Expedition, so no choice to keep one over the other. I hate to lose the F-Pace it is nice and fun. Drop down missing 25t Portfolio which is what I have.

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

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.

I have owned comparably sized Audi, Acura and BMW SUVs. I am somewhat surprised to say this, but I think the JAG F-Pace Portfolio 30t SUV may be my favorite. The ride, handling and acceleration is stunning. Only the BMW X5 4.4 I previously owned had more powerful acceleration. As for the steering/handling, this JAG (when placed in dynamic and sports mode) handles like a responsive sportscar. In fairness, so did the BMW X5 -- But BMW has unfortunately more recently gone with a looser steering mechanism that is not nearly as fun to drive. Also, this is a much lighter car than the previous X5 that I owned. As for comfort, the lower trim models (premier and prestige) are not as packed with features as the portfolio edition. For me, the comfort, design and feel of the portfolio package puts this SUV over the top. I also highly recommend making sure you get the heads up display which projects both speed and navigation instructions in a pleasing and easy to view manner. There are not a ton of these SUVs on the road, but I suspect that will change.

I upgraded from a 2018 "Premium" to a 2019 "Prestige" to get some additional features. The 30t vs 25t makes a world of difference in performance at no real detriment to mileage. In fact, if you are a careful driver, I've been able to get ~30 mpg in highway driving, not bad for a 296 horses machine. 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 still things missing on this model that you would expect to have as standard on a $$ Jaguar. The seats are now leather & dash is leather lined; there still is no standard satellite radio or CD, and because the installed antenna is only for radio you are not easily able to upgrade the system to received satellite; the standard headlights are now Xenon -- a big help in nighttime driving.; there now standard front or rear parking sensors -- a great driver assist, but still no blind-spot monitor -- you have to upgrade again for this. All of these things I have on a 2012 Volvo S80. I really expected more from a brand like Jaguar, but overall love the "Prestige" model.

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.
