“THE F-PACE HAS ONE OF THE BEST<br />
STEERING FEELS IN ITS CLASS.” PETER DAVIS, VEHICLE DYNAMICS<br />
iteration process. I’ve been really impressed with the<br />
aluminium-stamping facility’s capability.”<br />
Bigger than a Porsche Macan but smaller than an Audi Q7,<br />
the F-PACE sits in a good place. The benefit of its long rear<br />
overhang goes well beyond exterior aesthetics too, boosting<br />
rear legroom and boot size. In fact the F-PACE boasts a<br />
rival-trouncing 650 litres of luggage space and an excellent<br />
1255mm boot width (1048mm between the wheel arches)<br />
to make the car as practical as it is good-looking. Burgess<br />
enthuses: “With seats folded flat the capacity is incredible.<br />
Even with the seats upright it’s really big in the boot area,<br />
which is nice, and an unusual place for <strong>Jaguar</strong> to be.”<br />
In the Portfolio trim, the seats come with cool ‘fluted’<br />
cushioning that references classic <strong>Jaguar</strong> seats of the 60s<br />
and 70s but in a thoroughly modern way. Upfront, the<br />
F-PACE’s Sports Command driving position is crucially<br />
raised up, giving a much more assertive view of the<br />
road and beyond.<br />
As technical manager for vehicle dynamics, Peter Davis,<br />
declares: “The F-PACE has one of the best steering feels in<br />
its class due to the way we tune the system here at <strong>Jaguar</strong>.<br />
You won’t know you’re in a crossover. We’ve also got an<br />
F-TYPE inspired front axle, a stiff rear axle and very carefully<br />
developed tyres.”<br />
There’s a wide range of engines at launch <strong>–</strong> depending<br />
on region <strong>–</strong> including a turbocharged fourcylinder<br />
180ps 20d Ingenium i4 diesel, 300ps 30d<br />
diesel and 340ps and 380ps outputs of the 3.0 petrol V6<br />
with a mix of manual and automatic gearboxes, * rear- and<br />
all-wheel drive and emissions as low as 129g/km of CO 2<br />
and economy as high as 57.7mpg (4.9 l/100km). ** Trims<br />
follow XE’s lead with Pure, Prestige, Portfolio, R-Sport<br />
and S plus there’s a First Edition in honour of F-PACE’s<br />
conceptual forebear featuring 22-inch wheels, a TFT<br />
virtual instrument panel and two unique body colours.<br />
* availability dependent on market ** engine and transmission dependent<br />
