Got an F Pace today, an R-Sport version with the 340 hp V6. It occurred to me today that most Jaguar dealers also sell Land Rover. Comparing the two today, I can see the Jag taking away the lion's share of sales. Range Rover I can see as they are more upscale, although the Evoque will see a lot of sales cannibalized too. But Land Rover? No real comparison.
Agree, pics. I am considering one myself.....at first I thought, why?? Why would they (JLR) do that when they have the best 4x4xfar? But this thing seems to be going after the BMW X5/Porsche Cayenne/Macan crowd..... F-Pace or Disco Sport? Looks like F-Pace wins. We'll see.
Here are a few quick pictures. Standard (non pearl) w. Color of the interior is called Taurus, a medium gray and the stitching is a contrasting lime color. I would have never picked it but my wife liked it, a standard color option. The V6 is the same as the F-type and it is pretty fast, about the same as our old Cayenne Turbo (04), the F Pace seems much lighter. Space inside is about the same. Really a four-seater even if they claim five. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm interested to hear first person accounts of the new F pace. I think they look great and am planning to drive one soon. Seems like a neat alternative to the X5/Cayenne/SRX.
Don't let the pictures fool you, in person the F Pace couldn't be more different than the CX-9, it looks stunning in person. You can definitely tell it's a Jaguar and it sounds pretty raucous in the V6 guise, from the outside at least. OP congrats on the car, your wife has good taste
I went to go look at the F-Pace with the GF this weekend. Her ML350 lease is up. Car looks great on the outside, but the interior had a distinctively "Ford" feel to it. It wasn't the R-sport. It was either "premium" or "prestige." It just felt a bit too plasticky for a Jag. I had the same feeling when I got an XF loaner from my Land Rover dealership. It just didn't feel like a Jag interior should feel. Too much low-grade plastic. Doors felt thin. By contrast, we went to look at an XC-90 as well. That car has probably one of the nicest interiors next to a Range Rover. The materials were just better. Everything had a nicer feel, from the leather to the plastics to the chrome pieces.
