2023 Jaguar F-Pace Review, Pricing and Specs

We think the P250 S with the 246-hp turbo-four. provides the best balance of performance and cost. Stepping up from the base P250 to the P250 S adds unique 19-inch wheels, a power liftgate, and beautiful diamond-stitched leather upholstery. It also adds the more desirable PiviPro infotainment software with navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot and traffic sign recognition.

Engine, transmission and performance

Every 2023 F-Pace is equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 246 hp. For those looking for a more refined turbo-four than the Jag, BMW X3 gets top marks. The F-Pace P400 R-Dymanic S has a 3.0-liter inline-six that generates 395 horsepower with a turbocharger, an electric supercharger and a 48-volt hybrid system. During our first impressions of the the six-cylinder F-Pace, we noted good response and lively acceleration, but the transmission was hesitant to downshift during cornering maneuvers in all but the Sportiest drive modes. The The P400 we tested hit 60 mph in 5.5 secondsbut it is noticeable The 1.4 falls short of the 382-horsepower X3 M40i. Meanwhile, Jaguar deliberately tunes the F-Pace’s suspension on the firm side for a sportier feel. The ride is never harsh, but the larger wheels (Jaguar offers up to 22 inches) add a little sway to the suspension over bumps. Regardless of model, every F-Pace’s steering is quick, providing confident feedback from the front tires to the driver’s hands. The sharp responses of the F-Pace under assertive driving are truly impressive and a pleasure to drive.

Fuel economy and real mpg

The EPA rates the 2023 F-Pace with the available six-cylinder engine at 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is rated at 22 mpg in the city and 27 on the highway. While we didn’t test the six-cylinder version on our fuel-efficient 75 mph highway route, which part of our comprehensive testing regime, the turbo-four F-Pace nearly repeated its state rating of 26 mpg.

Interior, comfort and cargo

In keeping with Jaguar’s minimalist interior aesthetic, the F-Pace’s cabin features simple details, easy access to additional controls and plenty of windows to improve visibility. You sit high in the front and back seats, and the driver gets a great seating position, square to the steering wheel and pedals. The dimensions of legroom and headroom in the F-Pace’s front seats are among the most spacious in the class, while the rear is just average. The large climate control buttons are easy to use, and the central touchscreen display is within easy reach of any front seat passenger. Aside from the relative lack of front-seat passenger space, the F-Pace’s cargo-carrying capabilities are a lot bigger than its sexy styling might suggest. Release the handles in the trunk, and from the top of each rear seatback, lower the 40/20/40 split rear seats to a nearly flat position. In this way, space was created for 22 hand luggage.

Infotainment system and communication

Jaguar’s latest touchscreen infotainment system is called Pivi. It boils down key features to simple, well-organized menus and looks sleek. Unfortunately, we found it to be too buggy and prone to crashes. Fortunately, unlike Jaguar’s previous infotainment software, Pivi is capable of over-the-air updates, so the F-Pace can easily be updated as problems are fixed. Each model comes standard with an 11.4-inch curved-glass touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 14-speaker Meridian stereo system; built-in navigation and a Wi-Fi hotspot are also available.

Safety features and driver assistance

Buyers who want the latest in safety and driver assistance systems still have a satisfying choice, including a generous array of standard driver assistance technology and several high-tech options. For more information on the F-Pace crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute of Road Safety (IIHS) websites. Key security features include:

• Standard forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking
• Standard Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist
• Standard adaptive cruise control

In its bid to change the public perception of the brand’s historically skewed reliability, Jaguar provides segment-leading warranty coverage. A highlight is Jaguar’s long-term free scheduled maintenance program.

• The limited warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
• The transmission is warranted for five years or 60,000 miles
