Jaguar has introduced a thoroughly updated F-Pace luxury SUV to South Africa with enhanced styling technology and drivetrain choice.See specification and pricing details below.

The Jaguar F-Pace is a striking offering in the luxury SUV segment and the model has now received a thorough update to keep it fighting fit to take on rivals such as the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5, to name a few.

What’s changed?

The F-Pace’s styling has been refined but the bigger changes are found inside.

Lots has changed! Starting with the styling, the F-Pace wears a newly sculpted bonnet with a wider power bulge and ‘diamond’ detailing is seen on the grille while the iconic Leaper is seen at the side fender vents. The F-Pace also gains new slim, Premium LED headlights with ‘Double-J’ daytime running lights while Pixel LED technology is optional. If you have a keen eye, you might notice that the air intakes in the front bumper have been revised. At the rear, the new slimline taillights feature the Jaguar’s double-chicane graphic along with a revised rear bumper and restyled tailgate.

Buyers can also opt for a Black Exterior Pack which adds a host of gloss black elements

Moving inside, the F-Pace benefits from an updated interior design including a new centre console with wireless charging, new door casings with 360-degree grab handles, new seat designs with wider cushions and additional massage functions. Air quality in the cabin can be optimised with the optional Cabin Air Ionisation and Cabin Air Purification Plus system.

Perhaps the biggest change is the presence of a new centrally-mounted 11.4-inch curved-glass HD Pivi Pro touchscreen finished in a magnesium alloy casing. The new screen is some 48% larger than the outgoing 10-inch unit and now features a simplified menu layout that provides access to up to 90% of common tasks in 2 taps or less. The system is compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay and up to 2 smartphones can be connected simultaneously. The driver now also has access to a 12.3-inch HD Interactive Driver Display which can be configured according to preference.

The new system includes Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) capability, ensuring that software updates are conducted seamlessly without having to visit a dealership. Connectivity is made possible with embedded dual-sim technology with 2 LTE modems.

Other enhancements to the F-Pace include Active Road Noise Cancellation technology, second-generation Activity Key and Jaguar’s latest 3D Surround Camera technology.

In terms of driver assistance, the F-Pace now offers Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist and a Clear Exit Monitor which alerts front and rear occupants to an approaching car or cyclist when opening a door to exit the vehicle.
