The Jaguar F-Pace stands out with its powerful and sporty exterior design, which is derived from the C-X17 concept and the F-Type sport coupe. Despite its sporty appearance, it still offers luxurious amenities and practicality for everyday use.
The Jaguar F-Pace is the first SUV model of the British car manufacturer
Space: 9/10
Unlike other crossover SUVs with limited interior space due to their size and sloping roof design, the F-Pace excels in this aspect. It offers a generous luggage volume of 650L, expandable to 1740L when the rear seats are folded, making it the largest in its segment.

Even the rear seats provide ample space for three adults to sit comfortably, despite having slightly less legroom than the BMW X3 on paper. The interior is equipped with practical storage compartments, making it convenient to store personal belongings. However, it’s worth noting that the F-Pace does not offer a 7-seater option, which is understandable due to its focus on sportiness and dynamic driving.
Ride comfort: 7/10
The level of comfort during driving depends on the equipped features of the car. In Vietnam, the F-Pace comes with a sports suspension system and 22-inch wheels, which may compromise comfort, especially on rough roads. However, the optional Adaptive Suspension system allows for adjustments to the shock absorber stiffness, enhancing passenger comfort.
Smooth operation and driving experience with the 3.0L 6-cylinder engine.
Under normal conditions, the 3.0L 6-cylinder engine delivers a smooth and refined driving experience. When switched to Eco mode, the automatic transmission shifts gears earlier to reduce engine RPM and minimize noise. The car also boasts good soundproofing capabilities.
Center console: 8/10
The F-Pace’s interior features a classic style with excellent finish quality and modern materials. The central control panel is equipped with a large 12.3-inch touch screen, the largest in its segment, accompanied by user-friendly touch buttons.

Behind the steering wheel, there is a 5-inch TFT display that provides comprehensive and intuitive information. However, compared to the Virtual Cockpit touchscreen found in Audi models, the F-Pace falls slightly short in terms of features and attractiveness.
Normal driving experience: 6/10
When sitting in the F-Pace, visibility may be slightly restricted due to the large A-pillar, large mirrors with an inappropriate aspect ratio, and a small rear window. Maneuvering the car can also be challenging due to its wide turning radius. Nevertheless, the car is equipped with both front and rear parking sensors to assist with parking in tight spaces.
The automatic transmission in the 2.0L engine versions has been noted to have some rough gear shifts. However, in the Vietnamese market, the F-Pace is only available with a V6 3.0L engine, which provides a smoother and more comfortable driving experience. With 340 horsepower, the engine offers ample power for daily commuting and off-road adventures.
Sporty driving experience: 8/10
With adaptive suspension system matched with the wheel size, the Jaguar F-Pace delivers a sporty and exhilarating driving experience. The car offers excellent grip on the road and great feedback, especially when cornering. Even without this option, the overall driving experience is still enjoyable, although the front end may respond slightly slower.

The electric power-assisted steering is responsive and flexible. The 6-cylinder engine produces an exciting sound reminiscent of the F-Type sport coupe. Acceleration from 0 to 100km/h takes less than 6 seconds, satisfying speed enthusiasts.
Reliability: 7/10
In the past, Jaguar Land Rover vehicles were known for their reliability and durability issues. However, the British car manufacturer has made significant improvements in quality and reliability over the years. Jaguar’s warranty policy is attractive and in line with renowned brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW. In Vietnam, Jaguar car buyers enjoy a global warranty policy, including 3 years of free warranty, 5 years of free maintenance, and 1 year of free physical damage insurance.
According to J.D. Power’s 2016 consumer survey, Jaguar ranked 16th out of 24 car manufacturers in the UK based on the number of problems reported per 100 cars. While this may not be an outstanding result, it’s important to note that the more luxurious and technologically advanced a car is, the higher the likelihood of encountering issues. This explains why Mercedes, BMW, and even Audi ranked lower than Jaguar in the survey.
Fuel consumption: 8/10
The manufacturer claims that the F-Pace achieves a combined fuel consumption figure of 8.9L/100km, which is similar to the 3.0L engine version of the Porsche Macan.
Standard equipment: 8/10
The base equipment on the Jaguar F-Pace meets average driving needs and provides comfort. It includes an 8-inch touch screen, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated seats, dual-zone independent air conditioning, satellite navigation, Bluetooth, and leather seats. In Vietnam, the car is available in 4 versions, arranged in increasing price order: Prestige, Pure, R-Sport, and Portfolio.
