The 2020 F-Pace looks great and provides engaging driving dynamics, a roomy passenger space, and plenty of cargo room. It makes comfort trade-offs for its sportiness and is saddled with clunky infotainment tech and subpar interior materials for the class. While the base four-cylinder is satisfactory, it lags behind competitors in terms of performance and real-world efficiency.

2020 Jaguar F-PACE 25t Prestige 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
This car is underrated. It’s quick, handles great and has plenty of room for 2 kids and their stuff. Getting them in and out of car seats is also easy. Car isn’t to low or high but great level for loading and unloading. Super comfortable on the highway with minimal road noise and getting around 27 mpg. Love the steering wheel and stiffer suspension that make it feel like you’re driving a … sports car. Touchscreen is huge and works well. Car is covered by an excellent warranty for peace of mind. Only gripes, they are minor, are heated/ventilated seats accessed only through touchscreen(there is a physical button to shortcut to this section though) and occasionally on startup the touchscreen responds a little slowly (restarting the vehicle, much like a cell phone restart seems to resolve it). Excellent crossover.
Absolutely amazing

2019 Jaguar F-PACE 25t Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
This vehicle has well surpassed all of my expectations. It is fun to drive, and regardless of what the fuel economy ratings say- I was averaging nearly 38mpg in eco mode! And it has plenty of power, and is very responsive. It gets even better in dynamic mode. I am so happy with my F-pace.
Edit- after a couple months of driving I still love my F-pace. I have averaged 32-33 mpg in Eco … mode which well surpassed my expectations.
Edit- After two years, I can confidently say I still love the car. And I can even more confidently say I am very disgusted with the dealership and service department. The customer service is sub par the closer I got to my warranty expiring, and even most recently I had some issues with the car and no one ever called me back. I even reached out to Jaguar corporate and received no response. So if I could rate the dealership I would give it zero stars, but the car is still great.
Edit- after three years, my ownership of the F-pace came to an end. I did suffer a catastrophic failure of the power steering system only 4,000 miles after my warranty expired. The dealership fought for me, and petitioned Jaguar to pay for this repair since it never should have happened in the first place. This was a 100% manufacturers defect and failure and not maintenance related. Jaguar agreed to cover the parts but I was still out thousands of dollars in labor. The F-Pace ultimately met it's end when I unfortunately hit a deer at approximately 60mph directly in the grill. The front end, radiator support and intercooler/rad was pushed back approximately 8 inches into the block of the engine and extreme body damage was done. However, I was still able to drive it back home (slowly) and we didn't even feel the impact. The safety standards are top notch. The car crumbled exactly how it was designed to. The only thing I will urge you is to get full coverage and new car replacement insurance on this brand, as the deer caused roughly 20k in damages before the insurance adjuster called it (and they hadn't even opened the hood yet...). So this was a great car and I miss it terribly. My takeaway is this; get the longest extended warranty possible and adequate insurance!
Best sporty SUV around

2020 Jaguar F-PACE S 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
I've had 5 Range Rovers, a G Wagon, a Discovery (big mistake) a Defender but also lots of sports cars including Jags. This is the perfect compromise in one vehicle. All the space and versatility of an SUV but with the F Pace S with supercharged V6 you get decent acceleration - well great acceleration for an SUV - and it handles amazingly well. It's truly fun to drive which you can't say … about most SUVs. Comfortable, looks amazing - far better than you see in photos - and so far totally reliable. Get one in white with the red interior and you won't regret it.

2019 Jaguar F-PACE S 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
If you can, get yourself the S. The 3.0L engine develops 380 bhp and it flys. Not literally of course, but you will have a big smile on your face as you leave the remainder of the traffic lined up with you at the set of lights still sitting there when you are a half mile down the road. This does work best if you are the first in line at the lights, but I am sure it works wherever you are … in the line. Aside from the acceleration it just feels like quality. Equipped with the optional sports seats this is a very comfortable drivers position, giving you such a secure feeling as you turn into a corner it is almost womb like. I really don’t know where the criticism of the interior is justified, it is not Bentley luxurious but it seems more than adequately solid for this price range. One problem with the vehicle, it does attract a lot of looks, and comments. “See this smile? It tells you everything you want to know” I tell them.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2020 Jaguar F-PACE, so we've included reviews for other years of the F-PACE since its last redesign.
