I have owned around 15 Range Rovers / Range Rover Sports and a couple of Discovery’s, the F Pace is as good as any of them. I appreciate the fact that the F Pace is a Land Rover product and in fact comes off the same factory lane, but I would highly recommend the F Pace to anyone considering a Range Rover Sport for two main reasons, it is more reliable and secondly, it is excellent value for money
Your review was spot on . Many new upgrades for the F-Pace especially the interior. I purchased the 2022 and Im am certainly impressed. It seems a bit more of an upgrade from my 2017. I would highly recommend NOT to get the P250 turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 246 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque Available engines: engine it is fine for Highway driving but you'll miss the Jaguar Growl and Giddy Up when hitting the gas. Opt for 3.0-liter inline-six with 335 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque (P340) All in all I am completely content with the car. It's still a Jaguar and it turns heads like no other car. It's a state of mind when driving this brilliant machine. I love it
Why would you not get the 250hp engine, I have a E Pace and have that engine and it's great, I'm thinking of a new F Pace and was looking at getting one with that engine.
@@Mrmaddog I miss the growl of motor. I've gotten use to the P250 and am completely satisfied at this point😀 So Im a convert and would recommend the P250
Why does almost every in-car touchscreen look like it is an afterthought and has just been bolted to the dash? Whatever happened to the concept of flush fitting?
@@chrisa8435 Why? I worked at Jaguar for a while and it would increase costs significantly. It does take room from the centre console area and has become a fashion after BMW went non integrated awhile ago.
I've owned one of the first 2017 F-Pace models in the U.S., delivered Q4 2016. I...absolutely...love...this...vehicle! The supercharged in-line 6 is a dream with a nice sporty exhaust note as well. Place in Dynamic mode for increased throttle response and decreased shift times. Place in 'S' on shifter and it holds each gear longer/maintains higher RPM - ideal for curvy mountain passes. It is definitely a drivers car, not a cavernous SUV. I'll take the compromise for the sloped rear window, lending to a sporty look. I consider the updated interior to finally match Jaguar standards whereas the early models were full of plastic. That is my only complaint at this time - the squeeks and rattles in the dashboard components in front of the driver (plastic screen and lower hood of the instrument cluster). At 114,000 mi, mechanically, the car has been execellent. I'm actually considering purchasing an updated version before the F-Pace is phased out of the ICE lineup. Jaguar claims they will only manufacture EV's beginning in 2025 yet they could possibly continue to offer some ICE models beyond that timeframe as I cannot imagine them being profitable with only 2 EV models at that point - the iPace and whatever first new model they introduce next year.
I love my 22 PHEV F Pace. I get 28-29 miles PEV. But, Jaguar, should be ashamed with it's spec stripping. That digital display was standard at launch (they kept it in mine). The 360 camera has been removed though and that was a huge selling point at launch when it was a standard feature.
I have found every SUV I have driven to wallow too much and make me feel a bit car sick even when driving, so the firmer suspension on the F-Pace may well suit me better.
Great, an upgraded interior while they drop a 4cyl turbo that delivers pedestrian performance. Sure, can upgrade power trains but now looking at paying $25-$30K more for the 6 cyl engine that our 2018 FPace has.
Just a comment for clarity - having worked for JLR infotainment, the PIVI pro system is actually a large HW module situated behind the screen that runs the software on the “PIVI Pro Display”. The display is just a “dumb display”.
Though I have never owned an F-Pace (though seriously considering one in Q4 2002), I have always loved the look of this vehicle, inside and out. I think it’s because it’s body remains me Of my Infinity QX70 which I have loved from the minute I purchased it. Even though you can get more for your money with other vehicles, this Jag has my heart
In what way was it off the pace? It needed a facelift, because buyers expect it and these days the infotainment has to be updated far more often than the car. The car itself was always among the very best. Jaguar chassis’s are generally just better- specifically better ride handling compromise. In Germany, you don’t notice this because they maintain their roads better, so I wouldn’t expect a channel like Autogefühl to appreciate this. Equally in the USA it’s all about boulevard cruising, but WhatCar should know that no car nails ride and handling like a Jaguar. To be fair, he gives this car credit for great handling, but complains about a hard ride. Just specify smaller wheels and you get a better ride at slow speeds and a bit less precision at high speeds. I used to have an XE which has basically the same chassis and it was brilliant.
The information was organised well, and you were probably the best presenter so far. Superb review, fingers crossed that the F-Pace will be just as good.
Smooth riding suv's mean wallowing in corners & country roads. Jag got it spot on with a slightly firmer ride hence it'll be better in the corners compared to Volvo & Audi.
Poor editing again, sorry guys. The boot capacity comparison graphics bear no relation to the commentary. Non PHEV size or not. Likewise the omittance of the X5's EV range in the comparison video yesterday. Stay off the schnapps :) I really like Doug Revolta's delivery and writing.
Great looking car inside and out. I hope they have done something about reliability though as that’s going to hold it back from being really competitive. Biggest disappointment for me would be the ride - the roads in England are literally crumbling away and something that offers more isolation would be more appealing for a lot of buyers I suspect.
Yea and like most hybrids when your battery runs out your stuck with a poxy 2l 4cylinder engine to tow it around with. Fuck that. Get the Svr and have some fun
Best car in segment imo, drive one and see for yourself, comfy enough these car journalists have to say something negative about every car because its their job!
Let’s hope the options list isn’t a mile long. So infuriating. I like what they’ve done with the latest compact sedan. A SE and a HSE model. That’s it. No five million options at ridiculously high prices.
In last month's Car magazine, they tested 2 JLR cars in their long term test section. Both broke down. JLR have known about their joke-level reliability for years and have still failed to address it. The German and Swedish competitors are better but lots of horror stories there too. Buy a Lexus, stand out from the crowd and - more importantly - get to your destination under your own power rather than hours late via the AA.
A Toyota ..errr Lexus? Standout from the crowd? Right. Keep your boring appliance. It’s like saying I have a wall - should I put I window on that wall or a Monet?
@@thomasfrawley5395 Nothing wrong with Toyotas either - check out their GR range. Reliability and excitement! Oh, and are you really equating JLR products to a Monet? Even Autocar have joined Car mag by having their JLR (an F Pace SUV PHEV thing) succumb to failure - it's currently with JLR awaiting a fix for electrical issues. But look, keep loving them if that's your thing 😉
To make itself stand out, JLR need to take a good hard look at Lexus. When looking for a "luxury" vehicle most people will default to the unreliable Mercs, BMWs and Audis. To improve it's image JLR needs to drastically improve its reliability, build quality and customer service to "Lexus like" standards. JLR have a bad reputation for reliability and customer service, but by making the changes that I have suggested this brand would be the best.
Shame, they know their competition but miss the target. Better EV range and batteries NOT in the boot & they would have got it. Also.... how can the diesel be the logical choice? By 2025 no-one will want to buy it from you. So it's residual value will be the worst.
Stick an ipad randomly on the dashboard, put Carplay and other nonsense on it, but you're still left with the most unreliable vehicle on the road. The Indians simply cannot get JLR competitive with the German or Japanese offerings.
The whole point of a jag is comfort, when they talk about handling and cornering i always think who is this for ?? Who buys suv’s to power through corners it’s ridiculous. No one wants sporty handling you want comfort and bit of exclusion from the outside world. British roads are awful sounds a noisy car
Given the hyper amount of work the sloth ridden British workers put into building the lowest quality cars an SUVs , decade after decade , but at least their expensive.
