Recently debuted at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA), the all-new
Jaguar F-PACE is a performance cross-over designed and engineered to offer the agility, responsiveness and refinement that
all Jaguars are renowned for, together with unrivalled dynamics and everyday versatility.
Developed using Jaguar’s Lightweight Aluminium Architecture, the all-new F-PACE combines purity of line, surface and
proportion with F-TYPE-inspired features such as the powerful rear haunches, mudguard vents and distinctive tail light
graphics.
The bold front grille and the 'muscular' bonnet hint at the performance potential of engines like the 280kW
supercharged V6. Elements such as slender full-LED headlights, forged 22-inch wheels and short front overhang carry the
design vision of the
C-X17 Concept
through to production.
The all-new F-PACE seats five occupants in absolute comfort. The interior is a perfect blend of premium materials and
finishes, exquisite detailing, luxuries such as heated, electrically-reclining rear seats, and cutting-edge technologies
including the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system and 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster.
“By remaining absolutely true to our design principles the all-new F-PACE is immediately recognisable as a Jaguar.
It offers all of the interior space you would expect – and more – but because of our disciplined approach to surfaces,
proportions, and purity of line, we have designed what I consider to be the most balanced, most attractive vehicle in its
class” said Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar.
The Lightweight Aluminium Architecture gave the design and engineering teams the ideal starting point. It was made
from the outset as a modular structure, so the wheels can be positioned exactly where they are needed to deliver the
proportions, dynamics, and practicality essential for a performance cross-over.
The wheelbase and track are not shared with any other Jaguar. At 4,731mm long and with a 2,874mm wheelbase, the
all-new F-PACE offers the sleek profile and short front overhang characteristic of Jaguar design together with an
exceptionally spacious interior.
Rear knee-room is class-leading and the luggage compartment volume is an astonishing 650-litres.
The light, stiff body structure comprises 80 per cent aluminium, and is the only aluminium-intensive monocoque in the
segment. Additional weight savings come from the composite tailgate and magnesium for parts such as the cross-car
beam.
The result is that the all-wheel drive 132kW diesel automatic transmission model weighs as little as 1,775kg and
achieves CO2 emissions of just 139g/km. With the 280kW supercharged V6 petrol engine from the F-TYPE under its sculpted
aluminium bonnet, the all-new F-PACE can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 5.5 seconds before reaching an
electronically-limited top speed of 250km/h.
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, the all-new F-PACE sets the benchmark for
ride and handling.
Even the entry-level model benefits from monotube dampers as standard, but for even better ride and handling the
electronically-controlled Adaptive Dynamics system measures body and wheel movement 100 and 500 times a second
respectively, ensuring optimum damping forces in all conditions.
For the most enthusiastic drivers there’s Configurable Dynamics: first used in the F-TYPE, this feature allows
individual settings for the throttle, automatic transmission, steering, and, where fitted, the Adaptive Dynamics
system.
Using state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics simulations and applying lessons learnt from the XE and all-new
XF, the all-new F-PACE has a drag coefficient of only 0.34, helping to reduce fuel consumption and improve refinement.
The vehicle is also engineered for exceptionally low lift and excellent lift balance front-to-rear, resulting in better
steering feel and stability at higher speeds.
“The all-new F-PACE is a Jaguar that customers around the world demanded that we make. The targets we set are among
the most challenging we’ve ever had to deliver but I’m proud to say that the all-new F-PACE meets or exceeds every one of
them.
“This is a performance crossover with outstanding dynamics yet also delivers a smooth, quiet ride. The
F-TYPE-inspired design combines dramatic looks with a spacious interior and an exceptionally large luggage compartment.
Together with our all-new infotainment system, our most advanced all-wheel drive system and an outstanding range of
active safety technologies, the all-new F-PACE makes every journey a better, more rewarding experience.” said Kevin
Stride, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar F-PACE.
The all-new F-PACE’s torque on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) system is Jaguar’s most sophisticated yet, and has the
highest torque capacity. It features the advanced, in-house control system first developed for F-TYPE AWD: Intelligent
Driveline Dynamics (IDD). IDD preserves rear-wheel drive agility and handling character but can seamlessly transfer
torque to the front wheels to exploit the performance benefits of extra traction, on all surfaces and in all weathers.

Adaptive Surface Response (ASR), developed from Land Rover’s patented, award-winning Terrain Response technology,
makes the AWD system even more effective in challenging conditions. Integrated into Jaguar Drive Control, ASR identifies
the type of surface and optimises the mapping of the powertrain and Dynamic Stability Control system. First launched in
the all-new XF, ASR has been enhanced by a third mode designed for deep snow and gravel.
Another world-class technology developed for adverse conditions is All Surface Progress Control (ASPC). To make the
most of the available grip, ASPC automatically controls the throttle and the brakes, enabling the vehicle to pull away
smoothly: the driver just has to steer. ASPC functions between 3.6km/h and 30km/h, and the driver selects the desired
speed using the cruise control switches.
For drivers who want similar results but still want to use the accelerator pedal, there’s Low-Friction Launch (LFL).
This function uses a very progressive throttle map, making the vehicle easier to control, and the all-new F-PACE is the
first Jaguar to offer it.
The all-new F-PACE has been engineered to satisfy the most stringent safety standards worldwide and provides
exceptional levels of occupant and pedestrian protection. The standard of active safety is just as high, thanks to a
suite of advanced driver assistance systems. The state-of-the-art stereo camera at the heart of the Autonomous Emergency
Braking system now features a pedestrian detection function – a Jaguar-first. The stereo camera also enables Lane
Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, an Intelligent Speed Limiter, and Driver Condition Monitor systems.
Key information such as vehicle speed and speed limits can be projected directly into the driver’s line of sight by
the laser head-up display. The high contrast colour images can also show cruise control settings and turn-by-turn
navigation instructions. Compared to conventional systems, laser technology is smaller and lighter and the images remain
clear even in bright sunlight.
Infotainment and connectivity technology is just as advanced. The premium InControl Touch Pro system is based around a
10.2-inch touchscreen, with a powerful quad-core processor and solid-state drive, and runs on ultra-fast Ethernet. The
user interface is intuitive, the graphics sharp and incredibly responsive. The navigation system can save you time by
learning your commute, 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.
The all-new F-PACE also brings the world debut of Jaguar’s Activity Key. A waterproof, shockproof wristband with an
integrated transponder, this segment-first, wearable technology supports active lifestyles because it allows the key fob
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 key fobs left inside. Activity Key works on the
same RF frequencies as the other keys and is used to lock and unlock the vehicle by holding it in close proximity to the
J of the Jaguar lettering on the tailgate. Activity Key has no battery, so you never have to worry about changing it.
