Used 2020 Jaguar F-PACE Consumer Reviews
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.
Best SUV I’ve owned
Test drove and owned many luxury sport SUV like the 2020 Porsche’s Cayenne turbo S , Mercedes GLE 63 , GLS 63 and BMW X5M. And I really love this cars unique style and sporty feel. The interior seats are not only comfortable but gorgeous, I very much like the ride quality. And I love the fact that this car will not be in every driveway in America ooh and did I mention how fast it is. And also having own so many luxury brands this is first , but definitely not my last JAG.

Silver 2019 2.5L turbo (296hp) Prestige
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.

The worst vehicle I have ever owned
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

Soooo Nice....
This is one fantastic vehicle! I previously had an Audi Q7 and this F-Pace SVR is everything. It’s quick, sleek, has a beautiful interior, comfortable and sounds sweet. I recently talked a friend into driving it since he said he really didn’t “think much of them” and he too is now a believer. Certainly if you are looking for something with good fuel economy, this isn’t the car but if you love something luxurious with horsepower, the F-Pace SVR will not disappoint. I’ve had mine for almost 1.5 years and I could not be happier with it. Update: stilling loving my SVR. My spouse also bought one a year later.
