Jaguar, crossover: review, description, specifications and reviews

To any extent, any modern crossover has the features of a sports car. Part of this feature, coupled with the requirements for the comfort of urban driving, distinguishes the SUV from the overall mass of SUVs. But this does not mean at all that models of this type are specially designed for dynamic driving - rather, the sportiness has the character of external design, although there are exceptions. These include the development of the brand "Jaguar". The crossover called F-Pace got more than worthy power stuffing, and also pleased the fans with constructive delights and rich multimedia in the salon.

General information about the model

The model first appeared in public in 2015 as part of the Frankfurt Motor Show. Despite the traditional commitment to the idea of light sports cars, engineers managed to combine a massive off-road design and a dynamic look with the same engine. In many ways this combination was helped by the materials from which the new Jaguar was made. The crossover was made of aluminum, magnesium and composites. Actually, metals formed more than 80% of the bodywork. Here it is worth noting one of the main features of the model, which were expected to be borrowed from the classic representatives of the brand. In particular, an independent suspension with a crossover was shared by the F-Type model.

The car and the maintenance of interior are remarkable. At the disposal of the owner is climate control, Wi-Fi, several USB-connectors, heating the cabin and remote start. Of course, today you will not be surprised by such additions in the premium segment, but there are also almost revolutionary innovations that Jaguar has received. The crossover was provided with a laser system for projecting information from a navigator and a speedometer, a virtual instrument panel, electrically adjustable seats and satellite car alarms.

Specifications

City SUVs with spacious salons occupy a separate niche, using demand among experienced connoisseurs of the segment. As a rule, these are luxury cars that are not cheap and in terms of comfort often exceed even luxury sedans. To such models without any reservations it is possible to carry and crossover "Jaguar". The technical characteristics presented below confirm the massiveness of the structure and its balance:

  • The height is 165.2 cm.
  • The length is 473.1 cm.
  • The wheelbase is 287.4 cm.
  • The front track is 164.1 cm.
  • The rear track is 165.4 cm.
  • The width of the car by mirrors is 217.5 cm.
  • The ground clearance is 21.3 cm.
  • The diameter of the crossover turn is 11.9 m.
  • The volume of the trunk is 650 liters.
  • Weight - 1,775 tons.

It is important to note that sports features are manifested not only in design and engine installation. The model is supplied with disks for 22 inches, which is a rarity even for large-sized representatives of the class. And such inclusions seem quite logical, since the "Jaguar" is a crossover, oriented first of all to a combination of convenience and dynamics.

Engine characteristics

The crossover is equipped with a two-liter diesel engine, the output of which is 180 hp. But this unit, of course, the motor scale is not limited. Developers also prepare a gasoline engine for 3 liters, the power of which will be 340 hp. There will also be a three-liter diesel with a similar power potential. Of course, one of the main issues associated with a pretty decent stuffing, concerns the amount of fuel that consumes the crossover. "Jaguar" in official data notes that in the city model consumes 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers of the way. On the highway, this figure is already 4.7 liters per 100 km. The capacity of the tank is 60 liters. Also worth noting that in Europe the crossover is presented in a configuration with a drive to the rear axle. In Russia, the same model is only available in all-wheel drive and with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Positive feedback on the crossover

The model by and large did not disappoint its fans, who highly appreciated the quality of the base, manageability and rational use of considerable space in the cabin. The ease in the control of the car, perhaps, is one of the most pleasant characteristics. The owners note and the coherence in the work of the engine-gear box. In particular, the rapid response in the transfer of teams to the "Jaguar" is emphasized. The crossover is favorably different and design. The overall style reminds a bit of competitors in class in the spirit of the Japanese "Land Rover", but in this case the originality of the machine is felt.

Negative feedback

Most of the negative feedback on this model is related to high financial costs. The same 20-inch disks in the process of maintenance will become a fairly serious expense item. Also, many are confused by the cost of the car itself. For comparison, the new Jaguar crossover, the price of which varies from 3 to 3.5 million, is almost a million times better than the similar versions of the Land Rover version. In addition, many car owners criticize the creators for their modesty in equipping the basic complete sets. It is clear that all the best options are complemented by premium configurations, but the standard does not include many quite familiar "mast-hevos." As a result, it turns out that to take advantage of all the benefits that the engineers of the company provided, you can only if almost double overpayment when buying a car.

Conclusion

The segment of crossovers is not all manufacturers can conquer from the first time. It is for luxury brands that specialize in luxury sedans and sports cars, this class represents the greatest difficulties in mastering. Therefore, for all minor deficiencies, the Jaguar crossover should rather be seen as the success of the brand. The developers coped with the most difficult tasks in the layout of the power fill and the overall body structure. In other respects, already developed approaches have been applied - this concerns the interior trim, multimedia equipment, and exterior design. At the same time, the manufacturer has not moved away from its main line - sports. In practice, the owners note good handling, which is complemented by maneuverability and impressive engine power output.
