British multinational car manufacturer Jaguar Cars will be showcasing the best of both worlds in terms of design and functionality when it formally rolls out its upcoming sports utility vehicle, the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, in the fall of 2016.
Although the SUV segment is an unfamiliar territory for Jaguar Cars, the British carmaker is confident that the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace will do well when it finally hits the market next year, notes the Christian Today.
The SUV segment is more like the forte of the sister company of Jaguar Cars, the Land Rover, but with the increasing market size of the segment, despite its competitiveness, the carmaker is confident that it can get a good piece of the market with the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace.
The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace was first shown by Jaguar Cars during the Frankfurt International Auto Show 2015 held last month.
Jaguar Cars has been known for flashy, fast, and sleek sports car so the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is a welcome deviation from the company. The British carmaker actually got a big boost when the SUV got positive feedbacks from people who trooped to the Frankfurt International Auto Show 2015, particularly for its sleek design that is accentuated by its oozing machismo, putting the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace into a league of its own, details Vine Report.
High-end specs and features
The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace features a grille in front that has its popular icon, with a good-looking headlight that complements the grille well. The SUV comes with lustrous and distinct wheels, making it an attention-getter when driven on the road.
In terms of what’s under the hood, the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace comes with either a 2.0-liter or a 3.0-liter engine. The 2.0-liter variant is a four-cylinder 180PS Turbocharged Diesel Ingenium engine, which exudes a remarkable fuel efficiency rating of 4.9 liters for every 100 kilometers.
It is also very friendly to the environment with carbon dioxide emission of only 129 grams per kilometer. Its engine exudes 180 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.2 seconds.
The 3.0-liter variant is powered by a V6 380 PS Supercharged Petrol engine which exudes 340 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. And as expected, it has a better acceleration because it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour between only 5.1 to 5.4 seconds.
Spacious and safe
The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is also very spacious as it can accommodate five passengers including the driver with a 40:20:40 rear seat folding configuration.
In addition to being spacious and comfortable for five passengers, the SUV is also quite safe too. It has plenty of passenger-friendly and safety features including the Blind-Spot Monitoring with Cross-Traffic Detection, Active Cruise Control, as well as the new Adaptive Surface Response system.
The Adaptive Surface Response system is meant to ensure the better stability and control of the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace on different surfaces including snow or sand.
The SUV also promotes passenger convenience with its Automatic Parallel and Perpendicular Parking as well as its Heads-Up display that helps in the navigation of directions, along with other important information such as speed limits and vehicle speeds.
Jaguar Cars also made use of modern-day vehicle engineering on the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace as it was developed very lightweight when it used an aluminum skin covering an alloy-intensive platform. It also has the handsome looks of most SUVs in the market today so the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace would surely court the attention and interest of SUV enthusiasts.
