In the world of automobiles, the Jaguar brand invokes an image of a vehicle that is luxurious, powerful, and well-mannered. The F-Pace, Jaguar’s entrance into the world of SUVs, continues the style of the legendary cars that have come before.
All with different power trains, available in three trim levels, offer an F-Pace equipped for a leisurely drive about town or a powerful highway eater. First, however, you have a Jaguar F-Pace configured; it will give you luxurious comfort and SUV versatility.
Jaguar F-Pace Trim Levels
The Jaguar F-Pace and F-Pace S have MSRPs of $50,900 and $54,000, respectively. The difference between the two is the addition of all-wheel drive to the S model. These trim levels get their power from a turbocharged 2.0L 4cylinder that produces 246 horsepower and 269-pound feet of torque.
Fuel mileage for the 2.0 Liter F-Pace is 19 city/26 highway and 22 combined miles per gallon. The F-Pace will run from 0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds with this configuration. The maximum towing weight is 1653 pounds for an un-braked trailer and 5291 maximum towing pounds for a trailer with brakes. All Jaguar F-Pace trim levels seat five passengers, with no option for expanded seating.
The next model, the F-Pace R-Dynamic, gets its power from a 3.0L V-6 that produces 395 horsepower and 405.7 pound-feet of torque. Again, all-wheel drive is standard, and its speed is from 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds. This level of performance will set you back a minimum of $65,500.
If you want Jaguar to drop a 5.0 L V8 into your F-Pace, it will set you back a minimum of $86,600 and is badged the F-Pace SVR. Developing 542 horsepower and 516-pound feet of torque, an F-Pace SVR can race from 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds. Towing capacity is the same as other trims, and the EPA mileage is 15 city/21 highway and 17 combined miles per gallon.
Biggest Contenders of the Jaguar F-PACE
The first three cars on this list are luxury marques with the same European flair as the Jaguar F-Pace. They are similar in power, size, price, seating, and towing capacity.
1. Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Like Jaguars F-PACE, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is their addition to the lineup of luxury SUVs. Holding the title of quickest in its class, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio can race from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds.

Unfortunately, fuel mileage is lower than the four-cylinder and comes in at 17 city/23 highway and 23 combined miles per gallon.
2. Audi Q5 Line
