Jaguar F-Pace

Jaguar F-Pace at a glance

From the C-X17 concept to Solihull

The F-Pace started as the C-X17 concept, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show on 9 September 2013. Ian Callum's team kept the concept's long bonnet and short rear overhang for the production car. Jaguar announced the model in Detroit in January 2015, let a production prototype lead Team Sky at the start of the Tour de France in Utrecht on 4 July 2015, and unveiled it at Frankfurt that September.

Production began at Solihull in February 2016, in the plant that later also built the Range Rover Velar. European deliveries started in April 2016. The body uses aluminium for about 80% of its structure, with magnesium and a composite tailgate to save more weight. Front double wishbones and an Integral Link rear axle followed the layout of the XE and XF saloons, and torque vectoring was standard.

The F-Pace sold 45,973 cars in 2016, its first and partial year, and immediately became Jaguar's best-selling model. In April 2017 it won both the World Car of the Year and the World Car Design of the Year awards at the New York show.

Every F-Pace engine, 2016–2025

The lineup changed completely with the late-2020 facelift. The older Ingenium diesels and the supercharged V6 left, and Jaguar's new straight-six engines arrived with a 48-volt belt starter-generator. The P400 petrol six also has an electric supercharger that fills the gap before the turbocharger builds boost.

By our calculation the SVR P575 gets about 85 kW from each litre of its V8. The lightest F-Pace carries roughly 14 kg per kW, while even the heaviest quoted kerb weight of 2,230 kg would leave the SVR at about 5.3 kg per kW. Our power-to-weight calculator shows where those numbers sit among other SUVs.

The P400e plug-in hybrid

The P400e combines the 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor of about 105 kW and a 17.1 kWh lithium-ion battery. System output is 297 kW and 640 Nm, enough for 0–100 km/h in 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h. The old version of this page quoted an electric range of about 53 km, a 30-minute rapid charge on a 32 kW DC charger and about 2.2 l/100 km on the WLTP cycle. Those launch figures depend heavily on how often the battery is charged.

Our cost of ownership calculator helps decide whether the plug-in or a D200 diesel makes more sense for your daily distances.

The 2020 F-Pace facelift: new face, new cabin

Jaguar updated the F-Pace in late 2020 for the 2021 model year. The exterior changes were modest, with new lights and bumpers. Inside, the change was bigger: a redesigned dashboard and centre console around a larger touchscreen, which addressed the most common criticism of the original car's cabin.

The mild-hybrid diesels made the F-Pace cheaper to run for drivers covering long distances. For buyers who wanted the fastest version, the SVR got 700 Nm and, from late 2023, 423 kW as the SVR P575.

Safety and practicality

Euro NCAP tested the F-Pace in 2017, and Australia's ANCAP used the same results: 93% for adult occupant protection, 85% for children, 80% for pedestrians and 72% for safety assist. The old version of this page gave a ground clearance of 213 mm and a boot of 508 litres, which is large for a car of this length and helped the F-Pace sell to families.

The end of the F-Pace and what comes next

The last F-Pace left the Solihull line on 19 December 2025. It was a black SVR, and the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust keeps it for display at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon. Jaguar described the F-Pace as the most successful nameplate in its 90-year history. Production of every Jaguar with a combustion engine ended with it.

Remaining 2026-model-year cars were still being sold in some markets after that date. Jaguar's next product is a large electric four-door GT, previewed by the Type 00 concept of December 2024. The smaller E-Pace and the electric Jaguar I-Pace had already left the lineup.

Rivals and which F-Pace to choose

The F-Pace competed with the BMW X5, the Audi Q5, the Mercedes-Benz GLC, the Porsche Macan and the Range Rover Velar from its own factory. It was more sporting to drive than most of them, with less rear-seat and cabin technology at first.

Before buying a used F-Pace, check the full service history, ask whether software updates and recall work have been done, and test every electronic function. On a P400e, ask for the battery state of health and the charging cable history.

Who it suits: drivers who want an SUV that steers like a Jaguar saloon. The best used choice is a post-2020 car: a D200 or D300 for long distances, or a P400 petrol six for smooth performance. The SVR is a fast family car with a loud V8 and high fuel use. Early 2016–2020 cars are cheaper but have the older cabin.
