The new 2017 Jaguar F-Pace has been talked about a lot lately, and it looks like the car will have a lot of potential on the market, especially among people who know what they’re looking for and can value true production quality and a good riding experience. Of course, it’s not a mainstream model and it’s supposed to target a very specific niche that Jaguar have traditionally excelled in, but we expected nothing different from this model anyway.
There was some minor skepticism towards the model at first, based on vague rumors about some of its features. Once we saw the full package though, it quickly became clear that Jaguar aren’t joking around and they really were trying hard to win the hearts of their fans – and others too – with this release.
Some of the changes that have come with this model include a better handling of the noise levels, as the car is significantly quieter than it was in the initial rounds of its development, thanks to some crafty engineering by Jaguar. There was some worrying among fans that Jaguar would take this too far and make the car too quiet for its own good, as some more enthusiastic drivers definitely appreciate the sound of a good engine, but the final result is a nice balance between high power and low volumes that makes the car a very pleasant experience, at least according to those who’ve seen it.
One interesting note about the interior design of this car that has been brought up by some critics is the new style of its built-in display. The windshield can project various images just like in other models, but instead of using an LCD screen to achieve that effect, the car instead employs lasers. The final result, according to the manufacturer, is a much better and crisper image that makes for more intuitive reading of labels and overall extra comfort on the road, as the car can feed a lot of information to the driver and present it in an easily readable way.
It should go without saying that the car is quite powerful and it’s not meant for the everyday driver, at least those looking for a balanced solution for their daily commute. This is a beast that wants to be unleashed on the road, and it’s obviously aimed at drivers who want to feel true power under their feet.
Its price tag will match that feeling quite well in any case, so we don’t expect this car to see any success with average drivers, but we definitely do expect to see more advanced drivers paying attention to it and considering it as a viable option. With all the extra electronic features that it includes on the inside, it’s definitely going to be a good choice for those who want a truly advanced experience on the road by a brand they know they can trust. The safety of this model is as can be expected, and it’s top notch in every way.
There are other benefits to the new F-Pace that some have pointed out, such as a much improved navigation system that has gone through various changes in order to bring it to a more intuitive and meaningful state. It’s been a common point of criticism for Jaguar as a whole that they tend to make navigation systems with questionable quality, but the system inside this model is apparently quite good and should make for easy, smooth driving across the country.
