2017 Jaguar F-PACE: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2017 F-PACE is an all-new model and Jaguar’s first SUV. Its launch brings a mostly aluminum structure, standard all-wheel drive, and diesel or supercharged V6 power.
About the 2017 Jaguar F-PACE
1st generation (X761), first year
Jaguar positioned the F-PACE as a performance SUV: a vehicle with sports-car-inspired shape and road manners, but with the passenger space, cargo room, and all-weather usability buyers expect from an SUV. The key difference versus many rivals was Jaguar’s emphasis on design and handling first, not just utility. Standard all-wheel drive, a roomy five-seat cabin, and a large cargo area made it practical, while the styling and steering feel gave it a more driver-focused personality than many compact luxury SUVs.
Jaguar positioned the F-PACE as a sleek, sporty luxury SUV with useful passenger and cargo space. The 20d trims emphasize fuel economy with a 180-hp diesel, while the 35t models use a 340-hp supercharged V6. The S adds an adaptive suspension for sharper handling, and the launch-focused First Edition stands out with a head-up display, surround-view camera, and 17-speaker Meridian audio system.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The launch-year range uses either a 180-hp 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder or a supercharged 3.0-liter V6, depending on trim. Every model has an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
Styling
The all-new exterior and cabin debut with sleek design cues inspired by Jaguar’s F-TYPE sports car.
Tech
Jaguar’s InControl touchscreen system debuts in the F-PACE. An 8-inch touchscreen is standard on core trims, while a larger Touch Pro system is offered on some versions.
Structural
The first-generation F-PACE debuts with a mostly aluminum body structure and an all-new suspension layout.
