5 reasons to buy the 2020 Jaguar F-Pace
1. Head-turning good looks
Taking design cues from its sport coupe and sport sedan siblings, the 2020 Jaguar F-Pace is a thing of beauty that will attract admiring glances as you drive by. Jaguar has combined elegant curves and a powerful stance to make the F-Pace as attractive as it is practical. The F-Pace also offers you a choice of over 20 beautiful paint colors and finishes that complement its stand-out design.
2. Spacious cabin
Although the 2020 Jaguar F-Pace is described as a compact luxury SUV, you'll forget the word compact the moment you're comfortably seated inside the cabin. The 33.5 cubic feet of cargo space is more than enough for when you're loading up groceries, DIY materials, sports equipment, or luggage for your family vacation. Its 65-inch-high roof and 113-inch wheelbase mean that your passengers will ride in comfort with plenty of head and legroom, even in the second row.
3. Exciting handling
The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace utilizes a combination of electronic and mechanical technology to deliver handling you'd expect from a large sports car rather than an SUV. The eight-speed automatic transmission, especially when coupled to the most powerful 2.0L engine option, gives you a smooth and progressive ride. Its all-wheel drive also means you'll stay in control in a variety of road and weather conditions, keeping you confident at every mile.
4. Powerful engine options
The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace's base 25t 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine delivers 247 hp but the more powerful 30t motor's 296 hp is the one to go for if you're after a more spirited drive. Opt for the S with its supercharged 3.0L V6 and you'll get a peppy 380 hp, ideal if you're after something with extra punch. If that's still not enough, the awesome 550-hp 5.0L supercharged V8 will turn your family run-about into a true sports car.
5. Available technology
With a good spread of driver-assist and entertainment technology as standard across the 2020 Jaguar F-Pace range, you'll find most of what you need available on the base model. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front and rear parking aids, a rearview camera, and lane-keep assistance come as standard across the range. Moving up in trim levels unlocks additional entertainment and connectivity options as well as an increase in comfort and convenience features.
