The Jaguar’s F-Pace Upgraded, Offering More Choice And Technology Than Ever

Along with the introduction of Alexa voice control across the range, the Jaguar F-PACE now comes with the addition of the dynamic new 400 SPORT and 300 SPORT models.

The new models are offered exclusively with smooth, refined Ingenium six-cylinder petrol and diesel mild-hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) engines respectively. 

F-PACE 400 SPORT And 300 SPORT – Exterior

First and foremost, the F-PACE’s distinctive, sculpted form is further enhanced for the new 400 SPORT and 300 SPORT. 

Notably, through a unique combination of exterior design elements which heighten their poised stance and dynamic character.

Their striking 21-inch ‘Style 5105’ wheels complement the Black Pack, privacy glass and Gloss Black roof rails, and feature a distinctive five split-spoke design and a Gloss Black finish. 

Plus, for customers wishing to add even further visual appeal can select the optional 22-inch ‘Style 1020’ forged wheels. 

Available on both models, the option comes with a choice of two finishes, Gloss Black with Satin Black inserts or Gloss Silver with contrast inserts. 

The F-PACE 400 SPORT and 300 SPORT can be specified in the full range of colours, comprising one solid finish, seven metallics and two premium metallic paints, Carpathian Grey and Charente Grey.

Jaguar’s exterior design director, Adam Hatton, expressed, “Developing the new 300 SPORT and 400 SPORT models gave us the opportunity to subtly accentuate the F-PACE’s inherently assertive, purposeful design and deliver an even more confident on-road presence, while beautiful, rich materials including Windsor leather, Suede-cloth, and meticulously-crafted veneers make the interiors even more luxurious. Together with the quiet, effortless performance from the six-cylinder engines, the new F-PACE 300 SPORT and 400 SPORT will make every journey extraordinary.”

F-PACE 400 SPORT And 300 SPORT – Interior

The luxurious, crafted interior of the F-PACE is further enriched on the 400 SPORT and 300 SPORT with slimline Performance Seats in Windsor leather. 

These are matched to an Ebony Suede-cloth headliner and Satin Charcoal Ash veneers. Heightened by Premium Cabin Lighting that has a choice of 30 colours and is available across the range.

F-PACE 400 SPORT And 300 SPORT – Connectivity

Seamlessly integrated Like all models in the range, the new 400 SPORT and 300 SPORT come with Amazon Alexa. 

Offering familiarity, it provides natural voice interaction with the Pivi Pro infotainment system’s features including navigation, music, podcasts and audiobooks, calls and compatible smart devices.

For example, requests such as ‘Alexa, navigate me home’, ‘Alexa, play my chill-out playlist’ and ‘Alexa show me nearby coffee shops’ can all be made by voice. 

Occupants are also able to check news, weather, and manage your schedule or shopping list, just by asking. 

The Alexa voice experience is intuitive to use, making it easy for customers to operate keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. 

Alexa even makes it possible to control compatible smart home features such as heating and lighting from the comfort of the F-PACE’s luxurious interior. 

Existing owners of F-PACE models with Pivi Pro are among more than 55,000 Jaguar customers to have been offered Alexa in a software-over-the-air update.

Jaguar Land Rover’s director of electrical and electronic engineering, Alex Heslop, remarked, “The seamless integration of Amazon Alexa with our Pivi Pro infotainment system gives customers simple, intuitive voice control of regularly used features, making the driving experience even more enjoyable. The fact we can also offer this new feature to existing customers proves the value of our software-over-the-air-updates.” 

Besides that, customers in the UK and US will also be able to control and check on their F-PACE from anywhere using the Jaguar Remote Skill on any Alexa-enabled device. 

Interestingly, for F-PACE P400e plug-in hybrid customers, ‘Alexa, ask Jaguar to check my range’ or ‘Alexa, ask Jaguar if my car is fully charged’ will be particularly helpful.

Meanwhile, ‘Alexa, ask Jaguar if my doors are locked’ or ‘Alexa, Ask Jaguar if my windows are open’ are just some of the other features customers can use.

Other than that, the F-PACE offers a wealth of other smart technologies to make journeys simpler, more enjoyable and more connected. 

One in particular is the Smartphone Pack with wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto, which comes standard. 

Plus, Jaguar’s Pivi Pro can connect two phones at once, and an optional wireless device charging pad beneath the centre console features a signal booster to improve network reception and Wi-Fi.

F-PACE 400 SPORT And 300 SPORT – Performance

Along with the luxury and technology, the new 400 SPORT and 300 SPORT deliver the outstanding performance and agility drivers expect from a Jaguar. 

400 SPORT: 

It features the Ingenium 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder petrol MHEV engine, developing 400 PS (395 hp) and 550 Nm of torque. 

In terms of advanced technologies, it comes with a twin scroll turbocharger supported by an electric supercharger, continuously variable inlet valve lift control and a 250bar direct fuel injection system.

This superbly refined unit enables the 400 SPORT to dash from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds) and reach a maximum speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

Said MHEV system uses a Belt integrated Starter Generator in place of a conventional alternator to recuperate energy that would otherwise be lost during deceleration and braking. 

The energy saved is stored in a 48V lithium-ion battery packaged under the rear loadspace, which is reused to accelerate, and also enables a smoother, quieter and more responsive stop/start function.

300 SPORT: 

For the 300 SPORT’s setup, the Ingenium six-cylinder diesel MHEV uses an advanced series-sequential turbocharging system.

Outstandingly, it features two variable-geometry turbos, to deliver exceptional responsiveness throughout the engine’s operating range. 

Together with a 2,500bar piezo common rail system, this ensures effortless performance with remarkable fuel efficiency. 

Developing 300 PS (295 hp) and 650 Nm of torque, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in only 6.1 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds) and on to a maximum speed of 143 mph (230 km/h). 

Additional Powertrains:

Apart from these six-cylinder units, the F-PACE model range is available with the 404 PS (395 hp) four-cylinder petrol P400e plug-in hybrid powertrain.

This setup provides an electric-only range of up to 33 miles (53 km) and CO2 emissions from 49g/km (WLTP TEL), it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.0 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds).

That’s not all, there’s also a choice of 250 PS (247 hp) and 300 PS (296 hp) four-cylinder Ingenium petrol and 163 PS (161 hp) and 204 PS (201 hp) diesel engines. 

Amazingly, the diesels also feature 48V mild-hybrid technology for even greater refinement and efficiency. However, the powertrain range is market-dependent.

All F-PACE models feature intelligent all-wheel drive and eight-speed automatic transmissions which can be controlled either by the Jaguar Drive Selector or the beautifully tactile metal shift paddles.

F-PACE 400 SPORT And 300 SPORT – Production

Ultimately, the 2023 Model Year F-PACE range includes S, SE, HSE, R-Dynamic Black, 300 SPORT, 400 SPORT and SVR models (Market-dependent).
