Jaguar showcased the new F-Pace crossover at the Auto Expo 2016. The F-Pace is headed to Indian shores soon.
The F-Pace is based on the C-X17 concept and is built on the Lightweight Aluminium Architecture platform as the XE and XF sedans. It is 4,731 mm long, with a generous 2,874 mm wheelbase. There is a large front grille that is typical Jaguar, a muscular bonnet, full LED headlamps and forged 22 inch alloy wheels.
Coming to the interior, there is space to seat five people in absolute comfort thanks to a lots of headroom and kneeroom. The F-Pace gets the premium InControl Touch Pro infotainment system that comprises of a 10.2-inch touchscreen, with a powerful quad-core processor and solid-state drive, and runs on ultra-fast Ethernet. Up to eight devices can be connected to the vehicle’s super-fast wifi hotspot at one time. The navigation system offers true door-to-door guidance and can even advise others of your arrival time. Navigation can also be shown full-screen – in 3D – in the 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster.
Jaguar’s Activity Key also debuts with the new F-Pace . A waterproof, shockproof wristband with an integrated transponder, this segment-first, wearable technology supports active lifestyles because it allows the keyfob to be securely locked inside the vehicle – invaluable if you’re going surfing, for example, or kayaking. Locking the all-new F-PACE using the Activity Key will disable any keyfobs left inside.
There is a range of engines to choose from for the F-Pace. 180PS 2.0-litre diesel manual RWD/ AWD and automatic AWD; 240PS 2.0-litre petrol automatic RWD; 300PS 3.0-litre diesel automatic AWD; 340PS and 380PS 3.0-litre petrol automatic AWD. It remains to be seen which of these will be available on the India spec F-Pace.
