2020 Jaguar F-Pace Review

 2020 Jaguar F-PACE Prices, Reviews, and Pictures | Edmunds

Overview

The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace is the luxury automaker's best-selling model, and the crossover helps reinvigorate the brand's previously stodgy image. While Jaguars still sell in relatively low numbers, the F-Pace's flashy appearance and sporty dynamics make the leaping logo more prominent. Its power-train options are highlighted by a mighty supercharged V-6, and every model is legitimately enjoyable to drive. It also possesses useful cargo storage and a bevy of desirable features. Unfortunately, its interior lacks cubby storage and the infotainment system is notoriously finicky. Still, the 2020 F-Pace is among the most alluring and exciting mid-size luxury crossovers out there.

What's New for 2020?

For 2020, Jaguar only makes minor changes to the F-Pace lineup. Every model now comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. There are also two new limited editions: the Checkered Flag Special Edition and the 300 Sport. The former is fitted with the less powerful four-cylinder engine and wears gloss-black trim and other unique details inside and out. The latter features the more powerful four-cylinder along with dark-gray exterior bits and upgraded interior materials and equipment.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

  •  25t F-Pace: $46,225
  •  25t Premium: $48,825
  •  25t Prestige: $53,225
  •  25t R-Sport: $57,525
  •  S: $63,125
  •  30t Portfolio: $64,625

    Jaguar only offers its supercharged V-6 on the F-Pace S, which costs more coin than I'd want to pay. The rest of the lineup gets the 247- or 296-hp turbo four-cylinder. Since the latter improves acceleration and doesn't sacrifice fuel efficiency, I'd choose the more powerful engine. Pair that with the Prestige trim level that has standard luxuries such as nicer dash materials, power-adjustable steering column, built-in navigation, mobile hotspot, and passive entry. While I could be convinced to upgrade to the 20-inch wheels, I'd definitely avoid the 22-inchers that hurt the ride. I'd also add automatic high-beams and the Drive Pack (blind-spot monitoring, high-speed automated emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology. These help maintain the Jag's sophisticated image and make the driver's experience less taxing.

    Engine, Transmission, and Performance

    Every 2020 F-Pace features a prudent eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Its engine lineup includes a standard turbocharged four-cylinder that makes either 246 or 296 horsepower. The F-Pace's supercharged V-6 is the engine to get, rips from zero to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. The standard turbocharged four-cylinder isn't terrible. It's offered in 247-hp or 296-hp potencies and badged as 25t and 30t, respectively, but it's not as refined as the turbo fours in the BMW X3 or the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. Jaguar intentionally tunes the F-Pace's suspension on the firm side for a sporty feel. The ride is never harsh, although the larger available wheel sizes (Jaguar offers up to 22-inch-diameter wheels) can add some jiggle to the suspension's movements over bumps. Regardless of model, every F-Pace's steering setup is quick and delivers confidence-inspiring feedback from the front tires to the driver's hands. Driven quickly, the F-Paces sharp responses are genuinely impressive and make this Jaguar crossover truly fun to drive.

    Fuel Economy

    Even in its most powerful S trim level, the F-Pace's EPA city and highway fuel-economy estimates are on par with the figures of most of its six-cylinder competitors. Believe it or not, its turbocharged four-cylinder earns the same 22 mpg city and 27 mpg highway ratings despite their power disparity. On our 200-mile highway fuel-economy route, the last four-cylinder F-Pace we tested achieved 26 mpg. The supercharged V-6 model is rated at 18 mpg city and 23 highway, and it missed the latter estimate by 1 mpg in our real-world test.

    Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

    In keeping with Jaguar's lineup-wide minimalist interior aesthetic, the F-Pace's cabin features simple detailing, easy-to-reach secondary controls, and lots of window area for enhanced visibility. You sit high in both the front and rear seats, and the driver is treated to an excellent seating position, square to the steering wheel and pedals. The F-Pace's front-seat legroom and headroom measurements are among the roomiest in this class, while the aft quarters are merely average. Large climate-control buttons are easy to use, and the central touchscreen display is only a slight reach for either occupant of the front seat. However, the rotary dial for the gearshift uses up valuable real estate on the center console, space that could be used instead for cup-holders or storage. Aside from its relative lack of cubby space for front-seat passengers, the F-Pace's cargo-hauling capabilities are far greater than its sexy styling would suggest. Release handles in the trunk and atop each rear seat-back lowers the 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats to a nearly flat position. Doing so creates room for up to 22 carry-on suitcases.

    Infotainment and Connectivity

    Jaguar's touchscreen-based infotainment system, In-Control Touch Pro, distills core functions into simple, well-arranged menus, and it looks slick. In practice, the system was buggy and prone to malfunction. Every F-Pace comes standard with a 10-inch touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 380-watt Meridian audio system; built-in navigation and a mobile hotspot also are available.

    Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

    The F-Pace hasn't been crash-tested by either U.S. agency that conducts these evaluations. Still, buyers who want the latest safety and driver assists still have a satisfying selection of choices, including a generous suite of standard driver-assistance technology and several high-tech options. Key safety features include:

    •  Standard forward collision-warning and automated emergency braking
    •  Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
    •  Standard adaptive cruise control

      Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

      In its attempt to turn around public perception of the brand's historically rocky reliability, Jaguar provides warranty coverage that tops the segment. The highlight is Jaguar's lengthy complimentary scheduled maintenance program.

      •  Limited warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
      •  Power-train warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
      •  Complimentary scheduled maintenance is covered for five years or 60,000 miles.

      2021 Chevrolet Tahoe Review

      Image
      This is the most expensive 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe you can build. Information:  Engine, Transmission, and Performance The Tahoe has been powered by a V-8 for its entire life, and that continues for the latest generation. However, its standard 355-hp 5.3-liter and available 420-hp 6.2-liter blocks are now joined by a diesel 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. While it has the least horsepower of the three, its 460 lb-ft of torque matches that of the bigger V-8. Every 2021 Tahoe is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. The off-road-oriented Z71 model gets a two-speed transfer case that provides traditional four-wheel drive, 20-inch wheels wrapped with all-terrain tires, and underbody protection. It's also available with adaptive dampers that are standard on the upper-echelon Premier and High Country. The latter and the RST model both ride on glitzy 22-inch rims for added curb appeal. An adjustable air suspension is another option that allows ...

      2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class Review

      Image
      Overview With its diminutive size and nimble demeanor, the GLA-class feels more like a hatchback than many of its crossover competitors. As the smallest and cheapest of Mercedes-Benz's SUVs, its interior is neither as luxurious nor as spacious as you might expect for a vehicle with the prestigious three-pointed-star badge. Plenty of high-end technology features are on offer, but the GLA has gone a while without updates. That means it's less appealing than the newer A-class sedan, which boasts a more attractive design inside and out. A new, fully modernized version of the GLA-class should arrive sometime within the next year. What's New for 2020? We think that the 2020 model year will be the last for the current-generation GLA before a new model arrives for 2021. As such, Mercedes-Benz did not make any changes for the 2020 model year. Pricing and Which One to Buy  GLA250: $35,245  GLA250 4Matic: $37,245 The base GLA250 comes with front-wheel drive,...

      2021 Porsche 911 Review

      Image
        Overview From its rear-mounted flat-six engine to its otherworldly handling, the Porsche 911 has preserved the essential elements that made it an icon. Its familiar circular headlights, Coke bottle shape, and sloping rump make it virtually impossible to mistake a 911 for any other sports car. Climb into its perfectly positioned driver's seat, fire up its powerful and unique-sounding engine, and engage either of its terrific transmissions; Porsche's legendary 2+2-seater will then proceed to overload you with feedback from its telepathic steering and its peerless performance attributes. It's offered as a coupe or convertible and with rear- or all-wheel drive. The company's extensive list of options allows it to be personalized for all tastes. The only knock against the 2021 Porsche 911 is that it's too expensive for most enthusiasts to own. What's New for 2021? For 2021, Porsche makes a handful of small changes to the 911. The flashiest update is the newly intro...
