The top variants are loaded to the gills with safety tech
Safety and After Sales Service – The Jaguar F-Pace gets safety features like multiple airbags and ABS with EBD along with other tech like autonomous emergency braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Monitor, Blind Spot Monitor, Reverse Traffic Detection, Park Assist, Surround Camera System and Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist. In terms of service, Jaguar has presence in most major cities but service levels aren’t known to be as great as the German trio.

The F-Pace can be your pick if you want to steer away from the Germans and want something different
Verdict – This is Jaguar’s first attempt with an SUV and they have pretty much got it on point. It looks really good, feels a lot special and offers a good drive along with a lot of exclusivity on our roads. The only fly in the ointment here is the highly optimistic pricing that the automaker has set. Compared to its immediate German rivals, the F-Pace feels a lot more costlier and then it depends on the buyers whether they’re really willing to shell out the additional moolah or not. For those of you who have decided to set the pace, the R-Sport variant makes sense if you’ll be driving the car on your own but if you’re going to be driven around and don’t mind being a little slow off the line, the 20d Prestige trim should be fine since it comes properly loaded too.
