Jaguar F-Pace 2020 SUV in-depth review _ carwow Reviews

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is the new Jaguar fpace I know what you're thinking it's taken Jaguar a bluming age to finally release an SUV but I'll tell you it's so worth the way this is a beautiful looking car in fact it makes me very proud to be British in fact let's just take a moment and revel in a spot of britishness anyway that's enough of that and I know some of you might be thinking that well isn't Jaguar owned by Tata which is Indian well let's forget about that because this car it's designed it's engineered and it's built in Britain and what a fabulous looking machine it is though yeah you do have to pay for that because the fpay starts at £35,000 and if you click up there to go to co.co.com beautiful it's also very very practical arise the boot arise so this is one of the biggest boots in its class do highly need load lip to lift stuff across there's some underfloor storage and there's various tethering points here here here 12vt socket there so you can plug your Hoover in and Hoover out the boot now you can get this car with three-way split folding rear seats unfortunately you do have to lean in to lower the seats you fold down the middle one and then fold down this other one there and you can see you got a pretty much flat low B that makes it dead to slide big items straight towards the front of the car so yeah very very practical the fpace so let's check out the space in the back now I'll just move these seats out of the way actually that's really Effy so the doors they open nice and wide which makes it really easy to get in and the seats are kind of at hip height so you can just Glide straight across into your seating position so as you can see if I'm sitting up dead straight lots of knee room head rooms all right even though this car has the optional glass roof and yet people over 6t will be fine back here and there's some cool Creature Comforts as well so if you want to you can fold this down you got some cup holders there and this is really useful you've got two USB sockets down there and another 12volt socket so if you got three people in the back everybody can charge their mobile device it's not all perfect though so first of all these seats are quite hard but then I guess it is a sporty car The Backs feel quite upright as well but you can get it with optional Electric reclining rear seats but you do have to pay extra for those more of a problem is this you got a huge hump in the floor so if you want to carry three in the back at once there's not much room for them to put their feet because the runners for the chair in front do eat into the foot space and this middle seat I mean there's enough headro but it is quite firm and on the whole this car isn't as good at carrying three people in the back at once to say a Land Rover Discovery sport or a Ford Edge now click up there to watch that in-depth practicality video review you also be able to see how easy it is to fit a CH seat here in the back of the F pace and just how much stuff we could cram into this car's boot speaking of practicality actually look at this so the rear door bins are huge they can fit a 1.5 L bottle and if I go to the front of the car the door bins are equally as huge here however you don't buy an fpace for its cby spaces now do you you buy it for the way it looks and it's just as sporty here on the inside as it is on the outside I mean I really love the interior design of this car what I'm not so keen on is some of the quality of the material so materials here here and here all a bit flimsy and they're just not in keeping with this car's expensive price so the model to go for is the osport it's pretty much got all you need you got 19in all whs you've got Zen on headlamps you've got all around parking sensors you've got cruise control you've got leather heated seats and you even get hide upon the dash which is a nice touch you also get a standard and 8 in infotainment screen it's all right but it's not the slick th what you better off doing is upgrading to the pro version that's excellent much more efficient much nicer to use it's a bit like comparing an iPhone 7 to the iPhone 4 and this standard system obviously is the iPhone 4 and you can see why by clicking up there to watch our detailed infotainment video review now though it's time to hit the road so how does the fpace feel to drive well the best way to describe it is sporty so you feel like you're just sat in any the Jaguar only you're sitting higher up so you get a better view out over traffic though I have to say that visibility isn't quite as good as you might expect you see the view out the back window is atrocious and I do find a little bit hard to place the corners of the car so it's not quite as easy to maneuver around town as you might think and if you click up there to join me for a 360° passenger Ride video you can see for yourself but then you know this is a big SUV when you driving it especially through twisty Road it feels it actually feels more like a hot hatch the steering's precise there's hardly any body roller at all so you compelled occasionally I think with this FP to just go well wait a minute I've got I got to be sure about this to just pull over get out and just it absolutely 100% is an SUV it just doesn't feel like what to drive now you can get the car with rear wheel drive only for the entry level models or 4wheel drive and most people will probably go for the 2 L diesel engine in this car and it's it's up to the task and jagu says it will do 53 m per gallon but I'm averaging just I'm averaging 38 which isn't quite as good as I hoped now if you can afford it I recommend you upgrade to the V6 diesel the reason is it feels noticeably quicker and this car deserves a fast engine you can also get a V6 petrol but that's going to be too thirsty so I wouldn't have that another benefit of that V6 diesel is that you get adaptive dampers as standard and on the normal Springs which this car has it does just feel a little bit too fidgety the ride some people are going to find it too firm the Adaptive dampers help with that it makes it feel smoother but still on the whole this is quite a firm riding SUV something like a Mercedes JC does Glide up the road better than this yes another advantage of having the V6 diesel is that it comes to standard with the 8-speed Auto the 2 L doesn't you get a manual now the manual is good but once again this car deserves an automatic overall the fpace is pretty impressive so far however there are some annoying things about it here's five Lumber support is an option on All trim levels which is a bit of a pain in the neck or should that be back sorry look at the wavy stitching There Was the Same machine drunk you can't just hold down the temperature button you have to keep pressing it to make it go up and it goes up in just five of a degree increments ages the way this Senter console sticks out it's all too easy to bang your knee on it when you start in across the back of the car the fp's fuel tank is slightly smaller than most of its Rivals which means you can go less far between kups thankfully the fpace does have some good features which help make up for all this you can get a waterproof transponder wrist and it doubles as a k it allows you to lock and unlock the car leave the normal keys in the car then you can take this off swimming the low friction launch system allows you to make an easy Getaway on very slippery surfaces without spinning the wheels off taly white down lots of the car is made out of aluminium but the tailgate is actually made out of plastic look metal plastic you can get the car with a special slow mode cruise control offroading to make sure this car feels as sporty to drive as possible even all-wheel drive models only send a maximum of 50% of the car's power to the front wheels now if you click up there you can get more information and compare deals on the Jaguar fpace at car. co.uk so then what's my verdict on this car should you avoid it should you consider it should you short list it or should you just go right ahead and buy it well I reckon if you can afford it just go right ahead and buy it
