Jaguar to launch a new model F-Pace

Jaguar has today confirmed it will introduce an all-new model to the Jaguar line-up, to go on-sale in 2016, named the Jaguar F-PACE. This is the first crossover from Jaguar. Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar, commented: We received such an overwhelmingly positive response to the C-X17 concept car last year that we just had to make it a reality.
The Jaguar F-PACE, inspired by the F-TYPE, represents a perfectly judged balance of performance, style and practicality. It offers a unique combination of Jaguar sports car inspired exterior design, fused beautifully with a thoroughly practical and spacious luxury interior. The F-PACE is our family sports car.
The Jaguar F-PACE couples class-leading interior space and exceptional on-road dynamics with five-seat usability to produce a true performance crossover. It will encapsulate everything that Jaguar stands for: beautiful design, precise handling, a supple ride, luxurious interior finishes and cutting-edge technology.

Speaking in Detroit, Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Global Sales Director, said: In 2015 we will celebrate Jaguars 80th year. We have started it by announcing our first performance crossover which we consider to be the ultimate practical sports car - a car that builds on the marques founding ideals of Grace, Pace and Space to become one of the most innovative Jaguars weve ever developed. The F-PACE has now begun its engineering and development testing programme ahead of the new model going on sale in 2016.
The F-PACE will be manufactured in Solihull, UK. The C-X17 concept was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show and after that it was even showcased at the 2014 Delhi Auto Expo. The Jaguar C-X17s intriguing design got a good response and the company has now turned it into a reality.
