“A great automobile, but fuel tank too small, and I would select standard wheels and tires for smoother ride”
2018 Jaguar F-PACE: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The main change for the 2018 Jaguar F-PACE is a broader gasoline lineup, led by new 25t and 30t turbo-four models. This is an expansion year rather than a redesign, with smaller trim and equipment updates around the edges.
About the 2018 Jaguar F-PACE
1st generation F-PACE (2017-2020 pre-facelift), third model year.
Jaguar positions the F-PACE as a performance SUV first and a family hauler second. The core appeal is sports-sedan-like steering and road manners wrapped in a sleek five-seat SUV body with useful cargo room and standard AWD. Compared with rivals that lean more heavily toward comfort, the F-PACE sells on style, driver involvement, and a cabin that feels more like a Jaguar cockpit than a generic luxury crossover.
The 2018 range stretches from efficiency-focused 20d diesel trims and new four-cylinder gasoline models to the 380-hp supercharged V6 S. Prestige models emphasize comfort with leather, heated front seats, and navigation, while R-Sport models add sportier bodywork and more driver-assistance equipment. Portfolio Limited Edition trims focus on luxury and technology, with Windsor leather, upgraded displays and audio, a head-up display, and power-reclining rear seats.
