2023 Jaguar F-Pace review

1. Choice of three powerful engines

The 2023 Jaguar F-Pace offers a choice of three formidable engines under the hood. As standard, you'll get a 246-hp 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant. Want a bit more? The R-Dynamic S trim has a 3.0L six-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology and an electric supercharger, upping the output to 395 hp. Still not enough? Go for the SVR trim, with an epic 5.0L supercharged V8 engine producing 542 hp—enough power to put many smaller sports cars to shame.

2. Exciting sports features

As power increases, so do the performance features of the 2023 Jaguar F-Pace. The R-Dynamic S trim pairs the 3.0L six-cylinder engine with larger brakes, configurable driving modes, and adaptive suspension for increased handling. Alongside the 5.0L V8 engine, the SVR trim adds sports brakes with custom red calipers inside 21-inch forged aluminum wheels. If you're looking for a comfortable and practical SUV—but also yearning for a sports car for weekend fun—the F-Pace has all those things rolled into one.

3. Spacious and luxurious interior

For a midsize SUV, there's nothing midsize about the 2023 Jaguar F-Pace's interior. There's seating for five passengers and 96.0 cu-ft of passenger volume. And with 40.3 inches of front-row legroom and 37.2 inches of back-seat legroom, everyone can stretch out and relax. The 32.1 cu-ft of cargo volume behind the rear seats also means there's plenty of room for everyone's luggage. Even standard models include such creature comforts as ambient interior lighting, wood interior trim, dual-zone climate control, and simulated leather upholstery, ensuring that the miles fly by in comfort and style.

4. Lengthy feature list

The 2023 Jaguar F-Pace is packed with a wealth of features across the entire range. Even base models are well-equipped, with features like a power liftgate, an 11.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and power-adjustable heated front seats as standard. The S trim adds full leather upholstery, while the premium SVR trim goes all-out on the luxury with faux suede and real leather heated seats in the front and rear, and a heated power-adjustable steering wheel. There are also five separate options packages and extra stand-alone options, including 16-way heated and ventilated massaging front seats.

5. Lots of driver aids

With such a proliferation of features across the entire range, one area that the 2023 Jaguar F-Pace excels is in the vast selection of driver-assistance features. All trims are equipped with forward collision mitigation, blind-spot warning, lane departure mitigation, driver attention warning, and parking sensors. The S trim adds adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition, and a more sophisticated lane-keeping system is included on the SVR trim and offered as a stand-alone option elsewhere.
