After updating the big Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport, the only thing that was pending was of course to update the F-Pace. JLR has now done it and the F-Pace now features subtle styling tweaks, tech updates and electrified powertrains.

The styling updates include all-LED quad headlights with ‘Double J’ running lights, new grille pattern, revised LED taillights, and restyled rear bumper with trapezoidal tailpipes. Options include Pixel LED technology for the headlights.

The refreshed interior features new materials including open-pore wood veneers and aluminium; a new 12.3-inch HD Interactive Driver Display, a 11.4-inch curved-glass HD touchscreen in a magnesium alloy casing; new Drive Selector featuring upper section finished with ‘cricket-ball’ stitching; new door cards with window switches moved from top to armrests for better reach; new massage functions, and PM2.5 filtration.

The 48-volt mild-hybrid (MHEV) powertrains along with conventional petrol and diesel ones are as follows:

Diesel

• 163 hp (120 kW) MHEV 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo, 8-speed automatic, AWD
• 204 hp (150 kW) MHEV 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo, 8-speed automatic, AWD
• 300 hp (221 kW) MHEV 3.0-litre V6 turbo, 8-speed automatic, AWD
• 300 hp (221 kW) 3.0-litre V6 turbo, 8-speed automatic, AWD

Petrol

• 340 hp (250 kW) MHEV 3.0-litre V6, electric supercharger and turbo, 8-speed automatic, AWD
• 400 hp (294 kW) MHEV 3.0-litre V6, electric supercharger and turbo, 8-speed automatic, AWD
• 250 hp (184 kW) 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo, 8-speed automatic, AWD

The petrol-electric PHEV combines a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and an electric motor integrated with the 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox.

The ICE pumps out 300 hp (221 kW) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque while the e-motor develops 143 hp (105 kW) and 275 Nm (203 lb-ft) of torque. The combined output, however, is 404 hp (297 kW) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque. A 17.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack sits at the rear, which delivers a claimed EV range of up to 53 km (33 mi). The battery pack is DC fast-charging capable with up to 32 kW, with which, up to 80% charge is claimed to happen in 30 minutes. A domestic 7 kW wall box can take 1 hour 40 minutes to deliver up to 80% charge.

The updated F-Pace starts from £40,860 in the UK. Depending on the market, PHEV deliveries will begin in Spring/Autumn 2021.
