The F-Pace inherit the initial push through its turbocharged engine.

Ride and Handling

“Fun to drive” is the answer for most of “how is your car?” short conversation questions in present day and age. Adhering to the motor trend of our century, the 2020 Jaguar F-Pace is the god of nimble crossovers with handling of a well kept hatch. The steering is responsive on every twist and turns like the razor sharp hunt of the Jungle cat. Due to added plush in the suspension, the ride quality on the straight may feel a bit jittery at times but for its next to perfection handling on the curviest of roads and straightest of miles, the suspension takes a back seat. 

2 tire options makes the game interesting where the 20 inch rollers keep the SUV stable and confident on the road while the 22 inch wheels makes the ride a bit too jumpy. 

Equipped with Jaguar All Surface Progress Control (ASPC), the F-Pace maintains optimum handling at low traction situations keeping the vehicle in full control. Also onboard is a unique JaguarDrive Control system which offers faster shifts and sportier acceleration when you switch to the Dynamic Mode. It makes the shifts faster in Eco mode too. Upon switching to the Rain/Ice/Snow Mode, the shifters are more gentle and helps maintain the pace.

Braking

116 ft. to come from 60 miles per hour to a stand still is a great figure for a crossover of this size. Fitted with the Torque Vectoring by Braking technology, the F-Pace’s brakes are controlled independently for individual front and rear wheels. This enhances the capability of the brake system on the toughest of terrain and tightest of corners.

This eventually reduces understeer which is a common problem in SUVs of this size. THis adds to the sporty agility of the crossover.
