“Grace, space, and pace”
That slogan was coined by Jaguar, and it has never been more
apt. But remarkably, that slogan is almost seventy years old; it just proves
that Jaguar remain true to their ethos and original values.
The modern Jaguar Cars have moved with the times – at one
time they were all about sports, with rakish good looks, and performance to
match, and while the good looks and sporty nature survive, the modern
range of Jaguars have expanded to include latest styles and family vehicles – the SUV.
Sports Utility Vehicles make up the most popular category of
car on the road today, so it’s no surprise that Jaguar felt the need to be part
of that, and not just as ‘another SUV’ – they wanted to show the other brands
how it’s done, and thanks to their stablemate Range Rover, they had a pretty
good head start.
Whether it’s the F-PACE, E-PACE or I-PACE, you can clearly
see Jaguar’s design philosophy running through the design – sports car inspired
styling; muscular sweeping bonnet, pronounced low profile, and every detail
designed to maximise aerodynamic efficiency.
Here’s the thing, if you were to ask near enough anyone to
name a luxury SUV, you can pretty much guarantee that Jaguar’s stablemate would
be top of the list, so it’s no surprise that Jaguar (as part of the Jaguar Land
Rover group) would have been more than willing to take some advice, possibly a
designer or two, and the odd component.
This doesn’t make any of the Jaguar SUVs a Range Rover in
different clothes; they’re ground-up, fresh designs bespoke to Jaguar. Yes,
they do share some award-winning technology, and that just strengthens both
brands.
Aside from that, when you choose a Jaguar SUV, it’s purely
Jaguar – handpicked leathers for the trim, a wealth of premium materials and
sophisticated finishes, state-of-the-art engineering from high-tech engineering
industries such as Formula 1 and aerospace. As Jaguar say themselves – they’re
a continuation of the Jaguar bloodline, and they’ve been created to deliver a
sense of opulent luxury and contemporary styling.
Currently, Jaguar offer three different SUVs, so it’s likely
that you’ll find one to suit your need.
The ‘F’ could stand for Full – Full size, and Full Luxury.
It has class leading boot space – from 650 litres through to
a cavernous 1,842 litres with the rear seats flat, and comes with a host of
technology, such as Pixel LED headlights with Adaptive Driving Beam, and an
activity key which allows you to lock/unlock and start the vehicle without the
need for a traditional keyfob, and it’s available as a hybrid, petrol, and
diesel.
The E-PACE is the compact SUV, but that doesn’t mean compact
features or technology list. It offers a unique balance between agility and
ride comfort, using mild-hybrid petrol and diesel engines, or as a Plug-In
Hybrid (PHEV).
It has the latest technology fitted, which includes
state-of-the-art in-car artificial intelligence.
The I-PACE is a multi award-winning Battery Electric
Vehicle, in the form of an SUV. The technology that powers it has been
developed in the competitive Formula E racing series, and it has all the
performance you could ever need.
90kWh battery, 292-mile range, 696Nm of torque, 0-60mph in
4.5 seconds, and a drag-coefficient of just 0.29Cd (that is very slippery).
Couple all of that to a near perfect weight distribution and you have an
all-electric SUV that compares to nothing else, this is the future of motoring
right here.
