Pace like a jungle cat in the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace

2022 Jaguar F-Pace Front View

Inspired by the fetching F-Type sports car, the F-Pace stands toe-to-toe with the Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz compact SUVs. Combining sport sedan-like performance alongside the versatility of the SUV, the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace justifies its place as the British brand’s bestseller.

Design

The Exterior

A seamless bonnet, deep grille, headlights, wider vents, and a double ‘J’ blade signature all add to Jaguar F-PACE’s dynamic stance.
The bonnet and bumper have been redesigned, combined with a precision-engineered foil-tipped front grill giving the auto a dynamic look.
The headlights have double ‘J’ graphics with animated directional indicators. New valence panels with integrated exhaust finishes emphasize the car’s dynamic personality.
As an upgrade, the pick of wheels available with an optional exterior black pack allows you to craft a dark, sultry exterior look.

Cabin style and interiors

Re-engineered with premium materials and exquisite attention to detail, the F pace is a beauty of space and luxury.
Its sumptuous double-stitch soft leather is paired with high-class finishing and chrome accents. These are in perfect harmony with the steering wheel design that integrates hands-on access to key vehicle functions, such as the Jaguar’s all-new PV pro-infotainment system features.
The auto’s legroom and headroom are among the most spacious in this range.
Its cabins have easy-to-reach secondary controls and enough window space for improved vision and room while still in line with Jaguar’s minimalist interiors.

Tech and Infotainment

Sports an expansive 11.4-inch infotainment screen with a driver information display and navigation. You can pair it via Bluetooth, USB ports, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless chargers.
It comes with a Meridian sound system with 6, 12, or 16 speakers, depending on trim.
The advanced driver aid suite comes with an adaptive cruise control feature.

Efficiency and Mechanics

With varying operation levels, the F-Pace is an authentic high-performance model in every way.
The latest model consists of an eight-speed automatic all-wheel drive transmission. Fuel economy is rated at a ten kmpl in combination mode.
The 2022 Jaguar F-Pace’s fuel economy has been an unsung hero. Its average fuel economy rating of just 8 L per 100 km with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine in highway mode is a surefire leg-up over the competition.
The Eco mode automatically varies all driving parameters to ensure a more fuel-efficient experience. With this mode, you’re on the throttle, as you limit the use of climate and other functions that sabotage fuel economy.

Engine and Performance

On-road is where the all-wheel-drive system gives the F-Pace an edge because that’s where it performs second to none other. The reliable steering and a suspension set-up deliver expertly once you’re used to the soaring driving position.
The F-Pace offers a sharp driving experience, with its chassis components appraising a dominant rear-wheel drive, which conditionally diverts half the available torque to the
front wheels.
It begins with the F pace’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, pounding out 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque.

Safety

While the F-Pace doesn’t sell enough volumes to warrant its crash testing by the NHTSA or the IIHS, Jaguar comes to the rescue with its substantial driver-assist features, such as a surround-view camera system that watches every periphery.
Also features blind-spot monitors, active lane control, parking sensors, and automatic emergency braking.
Looking for something highly safe and robust? Seek the Driver Assist package. With this add-on, you can avail adaptive cruise control, automatic parking assist, and a 360-degree camera system at an additional cost.

Near Misses

Some owners have reported that the car shows some engine overheating issues, while others have experienced coolant leakages, though the engine temperature doesn’t get impacted.
The F-Pace lacks a reliable safety rating, so we recommend you test drive the car to get a more in-depth feel of its features.
The adaptive cruise is sometimes slow and unresponsive, and its steering assist can be ineffective at keeping you in your lane if you start to wander.

Nemesis

The F-Pace is up against some auto heavyweights:
Audi Q5 – flaunting a conservative style but innovative and unmatched tech
The BMW X3 – limited in size but capable of high performance and efficiency
The GLC-Class – making up for the difference between the above but with a more opulent cabin.

X-Factor

Because of the sheer generosity of its load space (up to a class-leading 793 liters), F-PACE is perfect for big families.
The flat loading lip in the boot makes packing and stowing easier. Optional loadspace storage rails and functional accessories are available, including a full-size luggage partition and quilted loadspace liner. What’s more, your adorable VIPs (Very Important Pets) are always welcome!
