Jaguar F-Pace Review 2024
Jaguar F-Pace At A Glance
Insurance Groups are between 27–44
On average it achieves 85% of the official MPG figure
The Jaguar F-Pace is a sporty alternative to SUVs like the Volvo XC60, Audi Q5 and BMW X3. It encapsulates all that's great about the British brand – with stylish looks, an upmarket (and spacious) interior and a thoroughly enjoyable driving experience. Read on for our full review of the Jaguar F-Pace.
While Jaguar's 'grace, space and pace' marketing slogan preceeded the SUV boom by a good half a century, it probably describes the Jaguar F-Pace better than any other car the brand's ever sold. The F-Pace was its first SUV, arriving in 2016 and raising eyebrows when it wasn't based on a Land Rover.
There's a reason for that, though. Jaguar wanted to go its own way with the F-Pace, using the same lightweight aluminium structure as the XE and XF. It does share a range of engines with Land Rover, though, including (from 2021) mild- and plug-in hybrid motors.
A small number of early F-Pace models were sold with manual gearboxes and two-wheel drive, but the majority feature automatic transmissions and four-wheel drive. They suit the car well – changing gear yourself feels a bit pointless in a car like this and the grip provided by four-wheel drive provides loads of confidence.
Indeed, it's the way the F-Pace drives that gives it the edge over competitors. It's only really beaten by the Porsche Macan in this regard, changing direction eagerly and feeling most un-SUV-like in the bends. Pleasingly, it doesn't compromise on ride quality, either. Sure, it's a little on the firm side, but you're not going to flinch at the mere sight of a pothole.
If you really want an entertaining Jaguar F-Pace, look for an SVR. This uses a thumping great 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine, which provides an immense soundtrack and 0-62mph acceleration in 4.3 seconds (or 4.0 seconds flat on later post-facelift models).
No F-Pace will be particularly cheap to run (although the plug-in hybrid P400e can cover up to 33 miles under electric power), but the F-Pace SVR's official 23.1mpg fuel economy figure might soon get a bit tiring.
It's hardly an affordable choice to buy, either, but it's no costlier than other premium SUVs. You get more physical car for your money than something like an Audi Q5 or Mercedes-Benz GLC, with more interior space and a bigger boot than most competitors.
The interior on earlier models is fine, although lacks the sparkle of the GLC. It was much improved in 2021, with a noticeable move upmarket in the quality of materials used. Jaguar's 11.4-inch curved-glass HD touchscreen media system arrived at the same time, too – a really modern, slick system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
Overall, the Jaguar F-Pace really brings something different to the premium SUV market. It's an ultra stylish choice, with loads of interior space and a delightfully upmarket cabin. It's also great to drive, with a wide range of petrol, diesel and hybrid engines to choose from. Its biggest downfall is its price – but that's true for competitors, too.

- Readers report Real MPG to be between 22–57 mpg
Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Handling and ride quality
It's the way that the Jaguar F-Pace drives that really sets it apart from rivals – especially those from in-house competitor Land Rover. It really handles like a Jag.
By that we mean it feels a lot lighter than it really is. It changes direction quickly, while the steering feels surprisingly communicative for a modern SUV. There's an incredible amount of grip, too – the all-wheel-drive system normally sends the majority of power to the rear axle, so you can feel it being pushed out of bends. In low grip conditions, though, torque can be shifted around to keep you on the road.
High-spec models (including those with six-cylinder engines as well as the PHEV and cars with the HSE pack) come with adaptive damping, which means the F-Pace flows down the road surprisingly well for a car with a clear dynamic focus. We're yet to try the standard setup on the four-cylinder cars.
It's pretty easy to drive, too. You get a 3D surround camera (as well as front and rear parking sensors) on all models, so threading it into a tight parking space isn't too challenging considering its size. The steering is light around town, while the high seating position gives you a decent view of the traffic ahead.
Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Engines
The majority of Jaguar F-Pace buyers opt for a diesel engine. As of 2021, the diesel engine line-up consists of two diesel engines - a 204PS 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre six-cylinder motor with 300PS. All come with mild-hybrid power, which means there's a tiny battery and electric motor providing a small power boost. Don't expect to mooch around town under electric power, though.
If you cover a lot of short journeys, we'd recommend one of the petrol units. The standard 2.0-litre unit provides 250PS, which is plenty for keeping up with motorway traffic (even taking the F-Pace's hefty weight into consideration), while the 400 Sport comes with a 400PS mild-hybrid 3.0-litre six-cylinder unit that will appeal to anyone looking for a bit more oomph.
If you do cover a lot of town driving, a 404PS plug-in hybrid arrived in 2021. This uses a 300PS version of Jaguar's 2.0-litre petrol engine, combined with a 143PS electric motor which drives the front wheels. Power comes from a 17.1kWh battery pack which provides an electric range of up to 40 miles and, in theory, means the F-Pace PHEV can travel under electric power at speeds of up to 87mph.
The PHEV is the model we've spent the most time in it and it really suits the F-Pace. It's relaxing to drive around town, while there's a huge 640Nm of torque which means it'll happily pull off some quick overtakes. You can choose from a variety of drive modes (including an EV mode which forces it to use electric power if possible, and a dynamic mode which tries to mimic sportier models). It's best left in hybrid mode, which seamlessly switches between petrol and electric power.
If you want a truly antisocial F-Pace, look at the range-topping SVR. This uses a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine which is every bit as mad as it sounds: producing 550PS and 700Nm of torque (680Nm in earlier models). 0-62mph is covered in 3.8 seconds flat (or 4.3 seconds in a pre-facelift model), while top speed is a jail-time 178mph (previously 176mph).
The numbers don't really do it justice, though. It feels like a really old-school engine, with a throbbing exhaust note that'll turn heads for miles around. You can decide if that's a good thing.
All engines come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox as well as all-wheel drive.
Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Safety
There's no need to be concerned about the Jaguar F-Pace's safety credentials. It was awarded a maximum five stars when it was crash tested by independent body, Euro NCAP, in 2017. It scored particularly well for adult occupants (with a 93 per cent score) and child occupants (85 per cent).
All models come with an extensive list of driver assist tech, including Blind Spot Assist, Clear Exit Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Collision Monitor and Rear Traffic Monitor.
Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Towing
Most Jaguar F-Pace models can tow a braked trailer weighing up to 2400kg. The only exception is the PHEV, which can lug up to 2000kg. A two-tonne towing capacity is still pretty impressive for a plug-in hybrid model, making the PHEV an ideal choice if you want to cover the school run during the week and tow a caravan at weekends.
Of course, we'd endorse the often quoted '85 per cent rule'. Inexperienced towers should think twice before towing anything weighing more than 85 per cent of the car's kerb weight. That means you can comfortably tow around 1700kg in the F-Pace, depending on the model.

Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Practicality
Jaguar says the F-Pace's boot is big enough to carry 613 litres of luggage, though the hybrid models have slightly less space on offer. Still, that's more than you'll get in the BMW X3 or Audi Q3, while the rear seats split 40/20/40 and can be dropped to increase space to 1440 litres. Most models come with an electric tailgate, while access is easy thanks to a fairly low load lip (in SUV terms, anyway).
Boot aside, the Jaguar F-Pace is a pretty spacious SUV. Certainly front-seat passengers will have little cause to complain, with plenty of head and legroom. You sit high up, giving you a feeling of superiority over other motorists.
There's loads of room in the back, too, although three adults side-by-side will be rubbing shoulders. It certainly feels less claustrophobic than the Porsche Macan – this is a sporting SUV that doesn't compromise on comfort too much. Isofix mounting points on the outer rear seats makes fitting child seats a piece of cake.
Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Quality and finish
While we didn't have any real beef with the Jaguar F-Pace's interior quality when it first arrived in 2016, the 2021 updates gave it the wow factor you'd expect from a car of this price. You'll struggle to find any flimsy plastics, while all the switchgear feels really quite satisfying to use.
Even the standard F-Pace comes with DuoLeather, which is a part-leather upholstery, or you can move up to the HSE Black trim for full Windsor leather.
Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Infotainment
From 2021-onwards, the Jaguar F-Pace gained the excellent Pivi Pro 11.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system on the dash. Not only is it one of the sexiest media displays we've seen in an SUV, it's also just as impressive to use. It'll respond quickly to inputs, while the menus are laid out in a sensible manner. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the range, too, so you can access your favourite apps on the move.
If we had one criticism, we'd like to see a rotary controller like the one you get in a BMW X3. It's just a little more user-friendly when the car's moving. At least you get physical buttons and dials for things like the climate control temperature and heated seats – some manufacturers bury them within the infotainment and that's infuriating.
Most models (SE Black and above) get digital dials, which Jaguar dubs an 'interactive driver's display' with 12.3-inch screen. These are clear to use and add to the premium vibe, even if they're not quite as customisable as Audi's Virtual Cockpit. There's also an optional head-up display, which projects important information (like your current speed) onto the windscreen in the driver's eyeline.
Jaguar F-Pace value for money
Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Prices
Depending on which engine you choose, the base Jaguar F-Pace R-Dynamic S model costs from £48,720 in D200 for and rises to £60,985 with the plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Next in the line-up is the R-Dynamic SE Black that stretches from the D200 model at £53,705 all the way to £65,715, again as a plug-in hybrid. Then there is the R-Dynamic HSE Black trim with its line-up starting at £57,865 for the D200 diesel and finishing with the £69,335 P400e plug-in hybrid.
Beyond these models, you’ll find the F-Pace 400 Sport at £69,425 and the 5.0 litre V8-powered SVR topping the lot at £85,180.
A three-year old F-Pace in R-Sport trim with 45,000 miles will cost you from £30,000. Or, you could look for a two-year old facelifted R-Dynamic HSE with 25,000 miles to its name from £46,000.
Jaguar F-Pace 2024: Running Costs
The plug-in hybrid P400e is the F-Pace of choice for company car drivers. With its up to 40-mile electric range and CO2 emissions as low as 37g/km, you'll be paying 12 per cent BIK tax from 2023 onwards. It can also make sense for private buyers, too, providing you have off-road parking with access to electricity and cover a lot of short journeys. If you expect to travel further afield without charging, you won't get anywhere near the Jaguar's 176.2mpg figure.
For high annual mileages, we'd recommend the mild-hybrid diesel models. Both the D200 and D300 officially provide up to 44.6mpg, with the D300 rated at 38.3mpg.
Of course, the Jaguar F-Pace is quite a big, heavy SUV, so petrol models are going to be fairly thirsty. The conventional P250 returns 30.7mpg, while the mighty SVR is quoted at 23.5mpg. A halfway house is the single model P400 Sport that manages 28.8mpg from its 400PS 3.0 litre straight-six turbo petrol engine.
Fuel economy aside, like all premium SUVs, you'll have to be prepared for some fairly high running costs with the F-Pace. Service intervals are 16,000 miles or 12 months (whichever comes sooner) for petrol engines and the 3.0-litre diesels, or 21,000 miles/24 months for the smaller diesel engines.
Most F-Paces will be pricey to get road tax for in the first year, with rates ranging from £645 to a dizzying £2605, though the plug-in hybrid reins it in to £10 for the initial year. After that, all Jaguar F-Paces cost £180 per year for road tax.

All but the rapid 400 Sport and SVR versions of the Jaguar F-Pace now include the ‘R-Dynamic’ tag in their names. We’ll come to the fastest F-Pace models in a moment, but let’s start with the R-Dynamic S that has the same R-Dynamic styling on the outside as the others in the main model line-up. The S also comes riding on 19-inch alloy wheels, has a heated windscreen, auto headlights and wipers, powered tailgate, and heated, electrically folding door mirrors.
The S includes front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, and wide range of safety kit. Inside, there’s climate control, DuoLeather upholstery, and the Pivi Pro infotainment with 11.4-inch touchscreen. This is complemented by the 12.3-inch interactive driver’s display used for the main instruments. As well as this tech, Jaguar includes driver aids such as JaguarDriver Control and All Surface Progress Control to let the driver select different modes to tailor the car’s response to the outside conditions.
Moving on to the R-Dynamic SE Black, it comes with larger 20-inch alloy wheels, animated directional indicators, keyless entry, and exterior details picked out in black instead of the bright trim of the S. It also has a Meridian sound system for improved audio quality.
On top of this, the R-Dynamic HSE Black has 21-in wheels, an electrically adjustable steering column, and Windsor leather with front sports seats.
The 400 Sport is a standalone version of the F-Pace and has 22-inch 1020 alloy wheels in gloss black. It also has front sports seats and the Meridian stereo. Take the SVR model and you’ll find it sitting on a unique design of 22-inch alloy wheels called Style 5117. Inside, there’s 14-way electric adjustment for the heated and cooled Performance sports seats finished in suedecloth and Windsor leather. There’s also a suedecloth headlining in black to complete the SVR package.

Jaguar F-Pace unveiled
The new Jaguar F-Pace comes with Ingenium 2.0 litre petrol diesel or petrol engines, rear wheel drive or four wheel drive, manual or 8-speed ZF automatic transmissions: or 3.0 litre V6 petrol or diesel engines with automatic transmissions and four wheel drive only.
The line up starts with the 2.0 litre 180PS/430Nm Ingenium diesel rear wheel drive 6-speed manual at prices from £34,170, emitting 129g/km CO2 and averaging 57.7mpg.
The IDD Intelligent four-wheel drive system with chain driven transfer case eliminates understeer. It is biased 90% rear to 10% front but varies according to grip levels to the opposite of 90% front to 10% rear. It has Dynamic, Eco and Winter modes. An adaptive surface response system to cope surfaces from ice, through snow, wet snow and rain to high drag such as sand. An ‘All Surface Progress Control’ automatically gets the car out of mud. While a low friction launch control system gives softer throttle response in low grip situations.
The passenger compartment takes five and with the rear seats folded is 1825mm long by 1255mm wide. Load capacity is 650kg seats up to 1740kg seats down.
Connectivity and infotainment systems are state of the art. The car itself supports a wireless network of up to 8 separate devices. Its satellite navigation systems calculates if you will be late to a destination and can automatically pre-warn the people you are driving to meet. It connects to Google Street View to show you what your destination looks like. Voice control enables you to tweet or select tracks using Spotify. You can even control functions of your car remotely from an Apple watch.

New 300PS 2.0-litre petrol added
The 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine produces 300PS and 400Nm of torque which gives the F-Pace a 0-62mph time of 6 .0 seconds with official fuel economy of 37mpg.
March 2018
F-Pace SVR revealed
Engineered by Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), the F-PACE SVR’s 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine produces 550PS and 680Nm, enabling it to reach 0-62mph in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 176mph.
Aerodynamic enhancements include larger air intakes at the front and side fender vents that lower pressure in the wheelarches, reduce lift and provide additional cooling while also optimising high-speed stability. In addition, unique wheel arch extensions and lower body mouldings provide a low-slung muscularity that sets the SVR apart.
An exclusive SVR bonnet features vents to help extract hot air from the engine bay and provide visual evidence of the SVR’s dynamic intent.
At the rear, a unique spoiler is joined by a new bumper housing the quad tailpipes of the Active Exhaust system. The bumper incorporates side strakes that aid aerodynamic performance by smoothing airflow away from the rear of the vehicle.
The uprated chassis has progressive front and rear springs that are 30 and 10 per cent stiffer respectively and incorporate an anti-roll bar specification that contributes to a 5% reduction in body roll.
New, lightweight forged 21- and optional 22-inch alloy wheels are wider at the rear by 25mm compared to the front and contribute to the SVR’s enhanced handling. The 22-inch wheels are 2.4kg lighter on the front and 1.7kg lighter on the rear and are designed to deliver greater airflow to the uprated larger 395mm front and 396mm rear brake discs. The brake discs feature an advanced two piece construction on the front and rear to reduce weight, further contributing to the SVR’s agile handling.
Inside, the F-PACE SVR features slimline performance front seats that provide enhanced lateral support and have signature lozenge quilting and embossed SVR logo. In addition, unique rear seats echo the heavily sculpted designs up front and the SUV’s sports car character is underlined by the Sport Shift Selector. Finally, the SVR branded steering wheel features tactile aluminium paddle shifters.
Four interior colour themes help to highlight the vehicle’s high performance personality; Red with Jet, Light Oyster with Jet, Siena Tan with Jet and Jet with Light Oyster stitching.
January 2019

September 2020
Updated Jaguar F-Pace priced from £40,860
The Jaguar F-Pace has been updated with a refreshed exterior, new-look interior and the latest Pivi Pro infotainment system - as well as a revised engine line-up. This includes four- and six-cylinder engines including plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid technology.
The interior now features an 11.4-inch curved-glass HD touchscreen in an magnesium alloy casing, which provides driver and front passenger control of the new Pivi Pro infotainment system.
A new Drive Selector features an upper section finished with ‘cricket-ball’ stitching, the lower part being made of precision-engineered metal for enhanced tactility.
New door casings, featuring a new 360-degree grab handle, provide easier access and increased storage for drinks bottles and other items, while the electric window switches are moved down from the top of the door roll, putting them within easier reach of occupants.
New seats feature wider cushioning, new massage functions and enhanced coverage of the heated and cooling areas. An embossed Jaguar Leaper features on the headrests of selected models, while a set of ‘Est.1935 Jaguar Coventry’ upholstery tags highlight the brand’s heritage.
A series of advanced technologies ensure the health and wellbeing of all occupants. Cabin Air Ionisation improves interior air quality through Nanoe technology, which removes allergens and unpleasant odours. The system now also features PM2.5 filtration, which captures ultra-fine particles – including PM2.5 particulates – to improve occupant health and wellbeing. The customer activates the system simply by pressing the ‘Purify’ button.
The new F-Pace is available with the P400e PHEV powertrain as well as the latest four-cylinder and new in-line six-cylinder petrol and diesel Ingenium engines. Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology is also available on selected engines for the first time. All F-Pace models feature intelligent all-wheel drive and eight-speed automatic transmissions. The full powertrain range is:
Diesel:
163PS MHEV 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, eight-speed automatic, AWD
204PS MHEV 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, eight-speed automatic, AWD
300PS MHEV 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo, eight-speed automatic, AWD
Petrol:
250PS 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, eight-speed automatic, AWD
400PS MHEV 3.0-litre six-cylinder e-s/c and turbo, eight-speed automatic, AWD
404PS PHEV 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, eight-speed automatic, AWD
The new 2.0-litre four-cylinder PHEV model produces a combined 404PS and 640Nm from its petrol engine and 105kW electric motor. The advanced electric motor is powered by a 17.1kWh lithium-ion battery and helps contribute to CO2 emissions from 49g/km and fuel economy of up to 130.2mpg as well as performance figures of 0-60mph in 5.0 seconds.
When fully charged, the new P400e is capable of up to 33 miles of all-electric driving, enabling the new F-PACE PHEV to complete the average UK daily commute, of 18.8 miles to and from work, in EV mode without requiring a recharge. Fast Charging (32kW DC) is capable of delivering 0-80 per cent charge in 30 minutes while a domestic 7kW wall box can provide a charge of 0-80 per cent in as little as one hour 40 minutes.
Advanced MHEV technology, available on the four- and six-cylinder diesel engines and featured on the six-cylinder petrol powertrain, uses a Belt integrated Starter Generator (BiSG) to harvest energy usually lost when slowing and braking. This energy is then stored in a separate 48V lithium-ion battery before being intelligently redeployed to assist the engine when accelerating away, as well as delivering a more refined stop/start system.
With MHEV technology, the next-generation 163PS 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine achieves CO2 emissions from 163g/km and fuel economy of up to 45.4mpg.
The in-line six-cylinder 300PS diesel engine delivers strong performance from low speeds while returning fuel economy of up to 38.1mpg and CO2 emissions from as low as 194g/km. Accelerating from 0-60mph takes 6.1 seconds.
For petrol customers, the 400PS 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine produces 550Nm of torque and is capable of 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds.
Finally, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder 250PS Ingenium petrol engine produces 365Nm of torque, delivering 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and CO2 emissions from 209g/km with fuel economy of up to 30.4mpg.
All engines are paired with Jaguar’s eight-speed automatic gearbox, which can be controlled using the steering wheel shift paddles.
December 2020
Jaguar F-Pace SVR given performance boost
The F-Pace SVR's 550PS 5.0-litre V8 Supercharged petrol engine now produces 700Nm torque – an increase of 20Nm. This uplift in torque delivers enhanced performance, with the F-PACE SVR capable of 0-62mph in 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 178mph, an increase of 2mph. The powertrain now features the same torque converter used in the Jaguar XE SV Project 8, to withstand the higher loads produced. As well as the improved torque and acceleration, CO2 emissions are also reduced from 281g/km to 275g/km with fuel economy now up to 23.1mpg.
Exterior updates include a new grille and revised bumpers with larger air intakes. The updated F-Pace SVR is also available with a new 22-inch forged alloy wheel design.
The interior gets the latest Pivi Pro infotainment technology accessed through the all-new 11.4-inch curved glass HD touchscreen. There's also a new 12.3-inch HD Interactive Driver Display with enhanced SV-specific graphics and a configurable layout.
August 2021
Jaguar F-Pace range updated with R-Dynamic Black model
The F-Pace R-Dynamic Black benefits from a distinctive design and an enhanced specification which includes a Black Pack now featuring Gloss Black mirror caps, fixed panoramic roof and privacy glass. Complementing these elements are 20-inch wheels with a Gloss Black finish.
Like all other F-PACE models, the R-Dynamic Black is offered with a choice of refined, efficient and responsive Ingenium powertrains, from the 163PS mild hybrid (MHEV) four-cylinder diesel to the 404PS plug-in hybrid (PHEV) petrol.
Jaguar is also introducing more technology across the F-PACE range to enhance occupant wellbeing and comfort: there are new smart features which further improve interior air quality, and new driver assistance systems which provide greater levels of support. Connectivity will soon be made even more convenient with the addition, via software-over-the-air updates, of wireless Apple CarPlay®. Wireless Android Auto™ will become available at the same time.

Jaguar F-Pace range updated with Alexa and new 400 Sport and 300 Sport models
The Jaguar F-Pace range has been updated with the addition of the dynamic new 400 Sport and 300 Sport models – and the introduction of Alexa voice control across the range.
Offered exclusively with Ingenium six-cylinder petrol and diesel mild-hybrid engines respectively, the 400 Sport and 300 Sport are distinguished by their new 21-inch Gloss Black wheels, Black Pack, privacy glass and Gloss Black roof rails.
The 400 Sport features the Ingenium 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder petrol MHEV engine, developing 400PS and 550Nm of torque. Featuring advanced technologies including a twin scroll turbocharger supported by an electric supercharger, continuously variable inlet valve lift control and a 250bar direct fuel injection system, this superbly refined unit enables the 400 Sport to accelerate from 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds.
Developing 300PS and 650Nm of torque, the diesel 300 Sport can accelerate from 0-62mph in 6.4 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 143mph (230km/h). Fuel economy and emissions are up to 38.2mpg and from 194g/km CO2 respectively.
In addition to these six-cylinder units, the F-Pace model range is available with the 404PS four-cylinder petrol P400e plug-in hybrid powertrain, which combines an electric-only range of up to 33 miles and CO2 emissions from 49g/km with acceleration from 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds.
There’s also a choice of 163PS and 204PS four-cylinder Ingenium diesel engines and a 250PS Ingenium petrol engine. The diesels also feature 48V mild-hybrid technology for greater refinement and efficiency.
Also new for the Jaguar F-Pace range is Amazon Alexa. This brings the familiar Alexa experience to the F-Pace and provides natural voice interaction with the Pivi Pro infotainment system’s features including navigation, music, podcasts and audiobooks, calls and compatible smart devices.
Requests such as ‘Alexa, navigate me home’, ‘Alexa, play my chill-out playlist’ and ‘Alexa show me nearby coffee shops’ can all be made by voice. You can also check news, weather, and manage your schedule or shopping list – just by asking. Alexa lives in the cloud and is always getting smarter, with new features and updates continually being added and delivered automatically.
Existing owners of F-PACE models with Pivi Pro are among more than 55,000 Jaguar customers to have been offered Alexa in a software-over-the-air update.

What to watch out for
Report of 5 week old 1500 mile Jaguar F-Pace 6-speed manual 'dying' at traffic lights when put into neutral for stop-start. All the electrics went, dashboard no lights etc. Put it into gear and then back into neutral and it re-started. Jaguar dealer put it on the Diagnostics - nil showed up. (Did 2 software updates - not connected to fault.)
27-11-2016:Report of difficulty in changing gear in 2 month old September 2016 Jaguar F-Pace 6-speed manual.
29-04-2017:Complaint of piping on driver's seat of May 2016 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0 diesel Portfolio continually wearing. In reader's case, Jaguar has replaced the seat cover three times, in August 2016, in November 2016 and in March 2016. No solution has been found.
31-07-2017:Report of new Jaguar F-Pace bought February 2016 simply "stopped" in July. Owner told it needs a new engine control box as there was a mistake in manufacture which allowed water into the main lead resulting in corrosion.
25-11-2017:Problem with bonnet closure and fit of bonnet of June 2017 Jaguar F-Pace 25t. Because bonnet would not shut, car could not be started. Required full front end rebuild to get the panels to line up. Probable grounds for rejection.
03-12-2017:Report of intermittently failing reversing camera system on two consecutive F-Pace models, first of which was rejected for a number of other faults.
26-12-2017:Another report of intermittently failing reversing cameras on a Jaguar F-Pace.
13-01-2018:Complaint of noisy 240PS 2.0 Ingenium twin turbo diesel engine in an F-Pace Portfolio spec, "especially at low revs when pulling away. Tyre noise is also a problem."
17-04-2018:Complaint of poor DAB reception in Jaguar F-Pace now 5 months old, even within the M25.
23-09-2018:Report of severely corroded rear brake discs on 2016 Jaguar F-Pace at 2 years old (enough for an MoT 'advisory' but not an MoT failure). Jaguar dealer refused to replace them FoC.
14-10-2018:Engine speed related "whirring" noise reported from 240PS 2.0 litre Ingenium twin turbo diesel engine of Jaguar F-Pace at 7,000 miles. Jaguar dealer changed the balancer shaft.
11-12-2018:Report of clutch and Dual Mass Flywheel of 2016 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0 Ingenium diesel failing at 64,000 miles. Dealer wants £2,300 to replace them.
09-03-2019:Report of problems with September Jaguar F-Pace 2.0 AWD since January 2019. Main fault seems to be with Body Control Module. Losing all audio and spasmodic brake and driving control amber and red warnings. Numerous technician investigations and software updates plus replacement of rear camera and sensors have failed to make a permanent fix.
29-04-2019:Corrosion reported on inner faces of both front and rear brake discs of 2016 Jaguar F-Pace at 32 months old and 13,500 miles. Dealer quoted £525 to replace the fronts and £400 to replace the rerars. See also: 23-9-2018.
01-05-2019:Report of turbo failure on 2017 Jaguar F-Pace 3.0D V6 S at 25,000 miles. Dash indicated “Restricted Performance”.
03-07-2019:Report of strange problem with air conditioning of 2019 Jaguar F-Pace S. When owner turns the blower on it runs for 1 minute, then switches itsself off for approx 5 mins before restarting again.
29-08-2019:Report of problems with 2017 Jaguar F-Pace 25T over past 2 years that included an alignment issue early in the car's life. Several dealer visits due to non-working stop/start eventually resolved by a software upgrade, unacceptable cabin noise levels for a premium vehicle, "knocky-sounding engine at slow manoeuvring speeds and, worst, windscreen wiper motor noise reminiscent of a budget car of decades ago."
11-11-2019:Report that DAB radio reception of 2017 Jaguar F-Pace 3.0 DS "has just disappeared". Car does not have the upgrade Infotainment System; just the standard type. Dealer told owner it seems to be a control panel fault and they will need it in for 2 days to ID the problem and order the solution part.
11-11-2019:Report of two problems with a 2016 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0d, now just out of warranty. A steering rack noise problem was quoted for repair at a cost of £2,500. When challenged hard on this the dealer repaired it free of charge as a gesture of goodwill. However, during the course of that repair they identified that the air conditioning condenser is leaking and the quote to replace this is £772.74.
23-11-2019:Report of 4 month old 2019 (2020 model) Jaguar F-Pace R-Sport developing a noticeable whirring in the 1,700-2,300 rpm range, irrespective of speed. Dealer has advised this is due to balancer shafts not being sufficiently hardened (a repeat problem apparently so the shafts are on back-order). Cannot be fixed until 13th December.
01-12-2019:Report of “Incorrect diesel exhaust fluid quality detected; no engine starts in 500 miles” in 3.0 DS March 2017 Jaguar F-Pace 3.0DS. This is the 3rd time in 3 years and happened a mere 10 days after the Jaguar dealer topped up the Ad Blue as it was needed. Jaguar dealer cannot therefore blame incorrect non-Jaguar DEF fluid. Blames "a software problem".
18-08-2020:: Report of brake judder on 2018 F-Pace. Car was found to have a high point on one front disc. Repair rejected under warranty, with the dealer saying it may be caused by high speed driving.
17-01-2022:Power steering failure reported on 2017 F-Pace. Failure happened when the owner drove through heavy rainwater.
