The SUV shall come with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine capable of exuding 340 horsepower. It is a strong and smooth engine due to counter-rotating balancers.
There is also the 2.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine variant, which is part of Jaguar Land Rover’s new Ingenium engine family that finally weans the company from Ford’s four-cylinders.

As the first SUV to come from the British luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, there have been insinuations that the upcoming 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is the latest iteration to the Land Rover Defender from its sister firm, Land Rover.
Jaguar clarified that it is not because it will be positioning the 2017 F-Pace as a key rival to the Porsche Macan as well as the other high-end SUVs from the other luxury carmakers including Mercedes-Benz and Audi among others.
If there is one thing that Jaguar took from the Land Rover in as far as the design of the 2017 F-Pace is concerned, it is the architecture, which shall also be the basis for the latter to develop its mid-liner vehicle on to come out sometime in 2018.
