The British manufacturer’s first-ever crossover has finally received a facelift. The F-Pace gets a few exterior tweaks. At the front it gets new ‘Double J’ Daytime Running Light slim all-LED quad headlights with, and at the rear, it also gets new slimline lights. Jaguar says “The new bumper design and sculpted new tailgate also add visual drama and deliver a more confident appearance.”
Inside is where the magic really happens. It features an all-new interior. It now has a bigger centrally-mounted 11.4-inch curved-glass HD touchscreen and a new 12,3-inch digital instrument cluster. Julian Thomson, Jaguar Design Director, said: “The new F-PACE is dynamic and assertive with an elegant stance on the road – it represents a significant development of Jaguar design language. The heightened luxury and attention to detail inside the F-PACE with seamlessly integrated state-of-the-art technologies ensure both driver and passengers feel a real sense of occasion whenever they get in the vehicle.”
Featuring new door casing with a 360-degree grab handles, Jaguar says they provide easier access and have increased storage for drinks and other items. The electric window switches have also been moved down putting them in reach for occupants.
The F-Pace will be available with two petrol engines and two diesel engines. The line up has a new PHEV engine and a new in-line six-cylinder diesel Ingenium engine.
