The new Jaguar F-PACE, boasting refreshed exterior styling, a beautifully crafted all-new interior, new engine options and latest generation Pivi Pro infotainment systems, is now available in South Africa.

The award-winning F-PACE performance SUV features a cleaner, more assured presence thanks to a new sculpted bonnet with a wider power bulge and smoother, more precisely defined surfaces. The new bonnet also contributes to a more striking finish by reducing the number of shut lines on the front of the car. Jaguar’s heritage logo-inspired ‘diamond’ detailing can be seen on enlarged grille, while the side fender vents now feature the iconic Leaper emblem. The front bumper receives redesigned air intakes and dark mesh details for a more assured dynamic presence.

New super slim all-LED quad headlights with ‘Double J’ Daytime Running Light (DRL) signatures, which are available with optional Pixel LED technology, deliver increased resolution and brightness. Adaptive driving beam capability evaluates the road ahead and automatically adapts the high beam light to mask oncoming traffic or traffic signs. The system can create varying light beam patterns by selecting different LED segments to optimise visibility without distracting other drivers.

Premium LED technology is fitted as standard across the range and is available with auto high beam assist on SE and HSE models. Animated directional indicators are also available on all models when fitted as part of additional linked options.

New slimline taillights feature Jaguar’s double chicane graphic first previewed on the all-electric I-PACE while a revised rear bumper design and sculpted new tailgate add to a more confident appearance. All models are available with the additional black exterior pack featuring bespoke elements finished in Gloss Black.

Crafted interior

At the heart of the new interior is a centrally-mounted 11.4-inch curved-glass HD Pivi Pro touchscreen in an elegant magnesium alloy casing. New finishes, including open-pore wood veneers and aluminium, can be found in the upper door insert and full width ‘Piano lid’ that is formed across the width of the instrument panel.

A new centre console sweeps up to the instrument panel while incorporating a wireless charger and greater stowage capacity, while laser-etched mid-line speaker frets and the metallic rotary dial of the JaguarDrive Control epitomise the attention-to-detail. The new drive selector features an upper section finished with ‘cricket-ball’ stitching and a lower section made of precision-engineered metal.

New door casings now feature 360-degree grab handles to offer easier access and increased storage for drinks bottles and other items, while the electric window switches are moved down from the top of the door roll to put them within easier reach of occupants.

New seat designs feature wider cushioning, new massage functions and enhanced coverage of the heated and cooling areas. A set of ‘Est.1935 Jaguar Coventry’ upholstery tags highlight the brand’s heritage, and embossed Jaguar Leaper is included on all headrests of selected models.

Optional cabin air Ionisation improves interior air quality through Nanoe technology, which removes allergens and unpleasant odours. The improved system now features PM2.5 filtration, which captures ultra-fine particles including PM2.5 particulates to improve occupant health and wellbeing. The system is activated by simply pressing the ‘Purify’ button.

Air

A new cabin air purification plus system includes two additional features to make cabin air quality even better. The first of these is called air purge, and it delivers benefits before the journey even begins by using the climate control system’s fans and recirculation function to freshen the air inside the vehicle before the doors are opened. This is achieved either by setting a departure time through the infotainment touchscreen or the Jaguar Remote App.

The second is Cabin CO2 sensing, which monitors and regulates the carbon dioxide level in the interior. The concentration can increase over time if the climate control system operates in recirculation mode for long periods, such as can occur when the vehicle is driven through areas with polluted air. To ensure the levels remain within desired limits, the feature can enable more fresh air to be admitted.

Customers also benefit from a display on the touchscreen of the particulate levels inside and outside the cabin. The new F-PACE also benefits from the latest generation of driver assistance technology. This includes Clear Exit Monitor, which alerts both front and rear occupants to the presence of an approaching car or cyclist when exiting the vehicle. -MOTORPRESS
