Jaguar F-Pace touches down in SA

-

Jaguar’s F-Pace SUV is now offered as a feature-rich Chequered Flag special edition in SA.

The luxury SUV takes cues from Jaguar’s racing heritage, with a vamped-up exterior that includes a new sporty front bumper and striking gloss black detailing on the front grille, door cladding, side vents and roof rails.

Its wheels are 19-inch five split-spokes, also finished in gloss black.

Inside, the cabin blends upmarket materials and specially crafted finishes with features including perforated leather seat upholstery, meshed aluminium detailing and unique Chequered Flag treadplate­s.

Mod cons are plentiful and include Apple Carplay, a Touch Pro Navigation Pack, a Meridian sound system, a digital instrument panel, an infotainme­nt system, and 10-way electric front seats.

A range of 2.0l all-wheel drive power trains are available with the Chequered Flag, beginning with a performanc­e-focused 184kW 2.0l Ingenium petrol engine, which has a claimed 0100km/h sprint in 7 seconds and a 217km/h top speed.

There’s also a 2.0l diesel engine in two outputs: either 132kW or 177kW, both with all-wheel drive.

The 132kW version accelerate­s to 100km/h in a claimed 9sec and a 208km/h top speed, while the 177kW derivative is good for 7.2sec and 217km/h respective­ly.
