- Jaguar F-Pace 300 and 400 Sport revealed
- Get 300PS diesel and 400PS petrol engines
- On sale now, priced from £62,250
Jaguar has revealed two new versions of its F-Pace SUV for 2022 – they're called the 300 Sport and 400 Sport. While the 300 Sport is a diesel producing – you guessed it – 300PS from a mild-hybrid diesel engine, the 400 Sport gets its 400PS from a mild-hybrid petrol.
Also new for 2022 is Amazon Alexa across the range giving Jaguar access to one of the best voice-recognition programmes currently available.
2022 Jaguar F-Pace: price and release date
The 2022 Jaguar F-Pace is on sale now with prices starting from £46,250. The new 300 Sport model is priced from £62,250, while you'll need at least £68,250 to secure a 400 Sport. One of the Jaguar's sportiest rivals is the Porsche Macan which is priced from £48,970 for the standard model to £66,100 for the rapid GTS.
Jaguar F-Pace 300 and 400 Sport: engines and performance
The Jaguar F-Pace 300 Sport diesel is the 'thinkers' performance SUV, delivering commanding performance but without the high running costs that'll make you gulp any time you have a big drive ahead of you.
The straight-six 3.0-litre diesel has a 48V mild-hybrid system that allows the F-Pace to coast on the motorway and switch its engine off as you come to a halt, resulting in average fuel consumption of 38.2mpg.
Not bad for a 300PS, 650Nm SUV that gets from 0-62mph in just 6.4 seconds and has a top speed of 143mph.
That said, the 400PS petrol is quicker.
It'll hit 155mph and slashes the 0-62mph time to 5.4 seconds. It gets the same mild-hybrid tech as the diesel but, tellingly, Jaguar hasn't quoted an MPG figure.
Both the 300 and 400 Sport get a throttle, suspension and steering you can adjust yourself or let the car do it automatically based on the current conditions.
2022 Jaguar F-Pace 300 and 400 Sport equipment
Both the 300 Sport and 400 Sport get a gloss black styling pack that covers the roof rails and 21-inch alloy wheels – 22-inch versions are an option.
Inside, you get Windsor leather upholstery with heated, cooled and electrically adjustable front seats, a suede headliner, Satin Charcoal veneers, adjustable ambient lighting and a panoramic glass roof.
All new Jaguar F-Paces now come fitted as standard with Amazon Alexa, giving it one of the best voice recognition systems currently available. It'll understand commands like ‘Alexa, ask Jaguar to check my range’ or ‘Alexa, ask Jaguar if my car is fully charged’ and ‘Alexa, ask Jaguar if my doors are locked’.
The app gives you a remote connection to the car via its 11.4-inch Pivi Pro touchscreen sat-nav system that comes equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Is the Jaguar F-Pace 4x4?
The Jaguar F-Pace is available with two and four-wheel drive.
Jaguar F-Pace: front or rear wheel drive?
Two-wheel-drive versions of the Jaguar F-Pace drive the rear wheels.
Is the Jaguar F-pace worth buying?
The Jaguar F-Pace drives as a Jaguar should, it feels responsive in bends and all models offer a decent turn of speed – the 3.0-litre diesel delivers a particularly compelling mixture of power and performance. The F-Pace's SUV interior means it's more practical than a Jaguar saloon.
