The Jaguar F-Pace (X761) is a compact luxury crossover SUV that was manufactured by Jaguar Land Rover, a British car manufacturer, under their Jaguar marque. It was the first Jaguar SUV. It was formally announced at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, with sales commencing in 2016 following an unveiling at the 2015 International Motor Show Germany in Frankfurt.

The design of the F-Pace was based on the Jaguar C-X17 concept car, which was unveiled on September 9, 2013, at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace has been named the honorary winner of the 2017 World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year Awards at the New York International Auto Show. The F-Pace was built at Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull plant along with the Range Rover Velar.

Launch An F-Pace production prototype made its public debut on 4 July 2015 by leading out the Team Sky professional cycle racing team during Le Grand Départ in Utrecht, Netherlands, at the start of the 2015 Tour de France. Customer deliveries started in April 2016 in Europe, and in May 2016 in the United States. The car made its official public début at the September 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, an F-Pace, driven by professional stunt driver Terry Grant, performed a world-record-breaking 360 degree loop-the-loop.

Engines The F-Pace was offered with the Jaguar Land Rover's Ingenium 2.0L turbocharged diesel and 2.0L petrol turbocharged engines, available in the Prestige, Portfolio and R-Sport specifications, while the 3.0L turbocharged diesel (except in the United States) and supercharged petrol are available in the S and First Edition specifications. The F-Pace was offered in both RWD and AWD variants. The F-Pace SVR was powered by Jaguar's 5.0L AJ133 supercharged V8 producing and

In late 2020, a facelift on the vehicle occurred and it was given a new 2.0L inline-4 PHEV engine combination, as well as a 3.0L inline-6 mild hybrid engine, utilizing a 48 Volt belt alternator starter system and an electric supercharger. The mild hybrid technology was available on both petrol and diesel versions of the 3.0L Ingenium inline-6, known as P400 and D300 respectively, as well as the 2.0L D200 inline-4.

Transmission F-Pace models were equipped with the same ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic transmission as other D7a platform vehicles, a lighter variant of the gearbox currently fitted to other Jaguar models. A six-speed ZF manual gearbox was available on the lower-powered diesel models.

Exterior Ian Callum was the exterior designer for the F-Pace. The body structure comprises 80 per cent aluminium, and additional weight savings come from the composite tailgate and magnesium for parts such as the cross-car beam. The body's high torsional stiffness enables the F-Type-derived double-wishbone front suspension and sophisticated Integral Link rear suspension to perform even better. Together with Torque Vectoring as standard and an Electric Power Assisted Steering system tuned to give the best possible feel and response.

Chassis

The F-Pace chassis was the third model to be built on Jaguar Land Rover's iQ-Al (D7a) modular platform, which was also used for the XE, the second generation XF, and the Range Rover Velar. The design features double wishbone suspension at the front, with similarities to the system fitted to the XF and F-Type models, and the rear features an entirely new subframe mounted multi-link suspension system, named by Jaguar as Integral Link. This system was a more costly combination to manufacture but allowed for a greater tuning to provide a good balance between handling and ride quality.

Interior The interior of the F-Pace features several existing Jaguar design cues, including the rotary gear selector which rises when the car is started. The central console, when equipped with the upgraded InControl Touch Pro system, features a touch screen allowing access to in-car entertainment, satellite navigation, and various vehicular settings, such as the G-Meter and engine/gear shift/steering/suspension parameters. Navigation can also be shown full-screen in 3D on an additional 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster. The F-Pace features smartphone connectivity with Wifi Hotspot, and some models allow the owner to control the vehicle remotely, pre-heating the interior or unlocking the car using a smartphone application. The F-Pace was also the first vehicle in Jaguar's range to feature the Activity Key, a waterproof wrist band that unlocks the F-Pace allowing the main keys to be left inside, thus preventing possible water damage.
