It is also expected that towards the end of the second half of 2016, Jaguar Land Rover will release a new turbodiesel engine for the model. It will be a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four with a maximum power of 180 horsepower and maximum torque of 317 pound-feet.
The British luxury automaker has lofty goals for its 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, anchored on its 15,000 annual sales in the US in 2014.
Jaguar Land Rover is pinning its hopes on the 2017 F-Pace and the 2017 XE sedan to make its turnaround in the US market and elsewhere, which motoring experts believe is an incredibly risky move notwithstanding that the worldwide economy is still reeling a bit while Britain’s automotive industry is still on its heels.
The confidence of the British luxury carmaker is also validated by reports that the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is to be the first of three new SUVs that Jaguar Land Rover is planning to roll out one after the other. However, at the moment, only the 2017 F-Pace is pretty much confirmed while the two others are technically in the drawing boards still.
The Jaguar F-Pace would eventually spawn two new models including a Range Rover Evoque-sized SUV called the E-Pace and a large SUV called the J-Pace, which shall be also using Range Rover underpinnings.
