The new Jaguar F-Pace SUV for India debuted recently at the 2016 Auto Expo in Greater Noida, it shared the floor with the new XE, new XF and the new XJ which was recently launched in India.
The showstopper for Jaguar during the 2016 Auto Expo has to be Jaguar F-Pace. Designed like a sports sedan, it is bound to grab the attention of the visitors. It will hit the Indian car market in the second half of the year. When launched, the F-Pace will be on-sale as niche sports crossover that rivals the Porsche Macan.
The bold front grille and the muscular bonnet hint at the performance potential of engines like the 380PS supercharged V6. Elements such as slender full-LED headlights, forged 22-inch wheels and short front overhang carry the design vision of the C-X17 concept through to production. Despite its bulky look, the F-Pace is lightest and stiffest car in its segment.
The all-new F-Pace seats five occupants in absolute comfort. The interior is a perfect blend of premium materials and finishes, exquisite detailing, luxuries such as heated, electrically-reclining rear seats, and cutting-edge technologies including the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system and 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster.
