Jaguar unveiled their F-Pace SUV at Auto Expo 2016. This is Jaguar’s entry into the SUV segment. The good thing about F-Pace is, it’s largely identical to the C-X17 concept that was unveiled back in 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. It is Jaguar’s first ever crossover SUV. The F-Pace will be sold in 6 trims namely Pure, Prestige, Portfolio, R-Sport, S and First Edition. First Edition is the top of the line and Jaguar says its very close to the C-X17 concept. The F-Pace will go on sale in India by the end of this year.
The F-Pace has lightweight aluminium architecture and Jaguar says it has helped reducing weight and boosts efficiency and enhances handling and braking. Jaguar says F-Pace is among the lightest cars in its class offering 50:50 weight distribution balance. The F-Pace also has Torque Vectoring which provides controlled independent braking on the individual inside front and rear wheels to maximise capability while cornering.
The F-Pace is powered by Jaguar’s new Ingenium family of engines. The 2.0L turbocharged diesel that produces 180 ps, 3.0L V6 turbocharged diesel that produces 300 ps, 3.0L V6 Supercharged petrol that produces 340 ps, and there’s also 380 ps version of 3.0L supercharged petrol exclusive to the S and First Edition trim.
