2021 Jaguar F Pace - Smooth, Fast and Practical BUT DOOMED !

The F Pace has been a successful car for Jaguar since its launch in 2016. I have always liked the looks, a bit like an F Type on steroids. Luckily this model refresh has improved the area that needed attention and left alone the areas that were OK.
As well as answering important questions like 'can you fit a bike in the boot' and put this 3.0L mild-hybrid diesel through its paces. Such a shame Jaguar will only be making this car for another 4 years !

Absolutely fabulous Car... I part exchanged my superb 2016 F Pace Dynamic 3.0D for an I Pace before the 2021 model came out. If I hadn’t, I’d be signing up for the P400 now! It was hard enough watching Peds brilliantly positive report on the 300D, if he’d been in the P400... with a review like this one... I’d probably be in tears 😭 .. The F Pace has been a brilliant success for Jaguar & it can’t fail with this superb 2021 upgrade. Well done JLR 👍

[@jackleonard2088]

Big Jag fan but the best part of the video was seeing petrol pup doing so well! Happy spring.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@AAKhanivore]

Higher quality than anything you can find on the tv. Brilliant @petrolped

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@ishraqzamee9479]

Didn’t understand the whole “Jaagggggg” thing until we finally got one in the family. The 2021 I-pace is magnificent and I’m sure they’ve carried that on in the new f pace

[@mrek2068]

Great video as always. I am a huge Jaguar fan, and like the new interior of the latest F-Pace, although not a lover of non-integrated infotainment screens, despite the beautiful curve of this screen. Jaguar absolutely nailed the shape with the original design, so no real changes required there. Glad to hear your furry friend is much better. Take care. Errol

[@chrisva505]

Caveat Emptor. I bought a new F Pace SVR about 10 months ago. Drove and handled beautifully despite its obvious weight/ centre of gravity issues. Beautiful 5 ltr supercharged V8...but I had more quality issues in 5 months than I had over the previous 35 years of all my previous German cars...combined! Luckily, a supportive dealer swapped me into the new RS4....no regrets, and no comparison from a quality perspective. You won't pick these things up on a test drive, but it will sadly be the last Jag to take my cash.

[@PetrolPed]

Wow 😳

[@trevorredman7182]

I have a Petrol supercharged F-Pace which was my first non Land Rover product for over twenty years; it still makes me smile every time I drive it. Quality wise it has been brilliant but I did get an extended 5 year warranty with it. Driving wise it is in a different class to my RRS that I have had before. Strangely it is a really relaxing car to drive over long distances. The secret with driving any ‘Stop Start’ vehicles is keeping an eye on the rev counter, easy to see engine status. Still love my Clubman for town and fuel saving trips. I have managed to keep up my anxiety levels by also running a RR, dear to run and requires constant tlc. Good review and pleased both dogs are well . Would be good if you could test the latest Jag SVR.

[@willbuckley54]

Getting my new F Pace tomorrow. So excited. Trading in my 2020 F Pace for the updated variant.

[@brumsgrub8633]

I really like that car, it looks great and sounds like it drives nicely to. Jag are doing great things at the moment and also the future with EV cars. Its great to see them back where they belong.

[@digitalglass6856]

D300 is fantastic would have one over EV any day . EV bit of a novelty and will go full circle. So this car has it all ! Fantastic!!

[@georgedaville4662]

Great review Ped. I have had an E-Pace since 2018, and love the way the car drives, the interior, the 2.0d powertrain and ZF 9 speed box work brilliantly, 40 mpg average and 50+ on long journeys. The one thing I do not like now in any car is a black interior, no matter what the external colour. I have had light interiors since 2010. On my company steeds, I had to put a bit of effort in cleaning the driver's seat, due to my 40k miles per year average. To see all this fantastic cutting edge Ingenium engine technology being confirmed to scrap heap is for me unbelievable. It is a pity the Government has such disjointed, knee jerk policies when it comes to transport and the future. It will be interesting to see what comes out of the big climate gig later this tear???

[@EwanV]

It will be a shame to see the current Jag line go, but I am looking forward to seeing what they can do with an electric XF/XE size saloon car as opposed to the I-Pace.

[@krazyivan007]

I've got a 2010 XKR and have been eyeing these F-Pace for a couple years. Wanting to add one to my personal fleet. They definitely look good.

[@graemejohnson9025]

I am an Aussie petrol nerd.. If I had to have a electric car, this is the one I would choose.. Nothing better than 2 happy puppies..

[@guylambrechts2303]

Like the fact that you give your own 'personal' opinion on this car. Amusing as always. Cheers

[@williamcraske3822]

Why would you buy any brand new car in the UK ? With the recent announcement on EV vehicles would n't you loose a heap on resale ?

[@BMW7series251]

Great video, great car Pete. Would love to try the SVR version!

[@PetrolPed]

It’s awesome 👍

[@jonathancollard3710]

Massive fan. Was the “the first person in U.K. to put down deposit” in Jan 2015 ( accordingly Hunters Guildford). Got R Sport in 2016 with black pack, pano roof and 22” black wheels. Ingenium 2 ltr a little harsh but quick enough. My biz partner got same but smaller wheels and it rode better but didn’t look as good. Very good looking car. Got a Disco 5 now and these still catch my envious looks as they are very attractive.... 👍🏻

[@PetrolPed]

Cool 😎

[@davidchambers7622]

A great and honest review, no trying to be a comedian which annoys me, he tells you as it is, keep up the good work.

[@PetrolPed]

I try my best 😜👍

[@timmartin7468]

Looks great all blacked out and that diesel seems to have enough torque to hustle. Glad to hear Darcy is on the mend. Hallie has got her ball as per usual, nice. Cheers Ped.

[@nordicoffshore2395]

When they stop with diesels I stopp too. There are other brands, but I love my f-pace a lot

[@davidwan247]

I have always liked the sporty looks of the F Pace, but I would still prefer the Velar, especially the new P400. Nice to see they finally improved the infotainment system across the JLR lineup.

[@laurence9618]

i will add this - driving in town in dynamic mode makes driving over bumps better somewhat, and if you are driving uphill, then in dynamic mode can be more economical than eco or comfort mode as it easily picks up speed to 20 or 30 without any fuss (faster) at which point you take your foot off accelerator and cruise a bit giving it a slight nudge when required to keep momentum up.

[@Yormsane]

Loving the much-improved style of the 2021 F-Pace, but I really wish we could get that 3.0 liter diesel engine over here in the US. Driving across The Rockies, from Denver to Grand Junction, via the 11,000ft summit of I-70, would be an absolute blast. Interior-wise, the piano black plastic surfaces are an eyesore that shouldn't appear in any Jaguar, but otherwise - good job!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@MrSunnyBhoy]

Good review, if it was Matt Watson he'd have thrown the parcel shelve into the bushes lol I totally agree re Diesels, they are wrongly demonised.

[@alex.konstantinov]

Thumbs Up right away for the Jag! :) Thanks for keeping up with good content coming! P.S. Congrats on the pup feeling better! Good news! :)

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Alex 👍

[@BM_PAZ]

Lovely car, quite similar to our new Discovery Sport.

[@brumsgrub8633]

Glad your dog is doing well.

[@terrificspokesman7416]

The facelift has improved most of the stuff. The pre facelift was a wonderful car but bad quite a few flaws but this one is amazing

[@petermclaughlin560]

Enjoyed your review. I ordered one in June (16 week build) & can’t wait to take delivery of it in September.

[@PetrolPed]

Very nice. Enjoy the new car 👍

[@jeffabbott463]

Always liked the F-Pace and the new one looks even better. Big screen well designed too!

[@numbereightyseven]

Yeah, stop-start is dangerous at intersections; either through lack of response, or that unpredictability you mentioned.

[@Colin623]

I hate Start-Stop, but not only the delay in response but even more concerning is the wear & tear on the starter motor and battery, yes I know they say the batteries are designed to do this hard work, but I'd rather stick to leaving the engine running but also to reduce the wear on the engine in cold weather as the oil needs to be warm to give full protection ! which is a concern if you live in the heart of a city where you are constantly stopping at lights before the engine has had time to warm up the oil !

[@vanessathrussell1714]

Really enjoyed this, your petrol pups are lovely pleased to hear she is better, liking the jag a lot 😁

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Vanessa 🙏🏻

[@ginggur17]

Evening sir. Great news on DD. A nice car, very much see the Land Rover kiss. I’m loving these Panoramic roofs. Fantastic in depth review as always. 👍👍

[@OlegTPCH]

I watched quite a lot of reviews of F-Pace and must say that Pete’s review is second to none: very well structured delivery, clear and eloquent speech. And yes, F-Pace 2021 looks gorgeous! Would be happy to hear your thoughts on F-Pace vs E-Pace comparison. Though I adore pretty much everything about F-Pace, it does seem too “bulky” to me…

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@markreeves9020]

Great review not many around in the UK on the updated model ordered mine last week just got to wait until July to get it it was the interior upgrade that made be choose it from the Velar and BMW and always think that when a model has a refresh it puts thing right after 5 years of production

[@darrencottrell5541]

Great review as is the norm. Great to see other marques wanting a regular piece of the Petrol Ped channel. All the best.

[@68tonyn]

Very fair review Peter. For me it drives similar to a RR Sport now . The new transverse architecture has improved it and the E Pace . Ready for full EV !!

[@jeepviking]

Nothing transverse about the new F-pace. Still North-South with RWD bias. I currently have a P300 Xe but could be tempted with one of these in P400e flavour.

[@scottgreen6523]

Brilliant video as always very well edited, would love to see a side by side with the Discovery with the same engine?

[@PetrolPed]

That would be interesting 👍

[@lynnebarkas6906]

Its Torque figures are impressive. That’s where you get low Rev grunt, gets the car moving.

[@timgibbs4762]

Great review and might consider one (there will be less engine choices in Canada) after my 2019 Audi SQ5 3.0T needs changing.

[@andrewcubbage1007]

My opinion is that Jaguar going all electric by 2025 is a "courageous" decision (as in Yes Minister!) Certainly the overwhelming majority of buyers of new Jaguars will have a private driveway and/or garage so charging will not be a problem. But I struggle to believe that 3 years later the charging infrastructure will be there for many of the people thinking about buying the cars second hand. Where is all the extra electricity coming from, and where is the plan to upgrade the grid network, when and where will the "charging stations" (as opposed to petrol stations) be built? - The latter need to accommodate vehicles for a lot longer than the 5 minutes it takes to fill up an IC vehicle. Or will every residential street be covered in charging cables? The desire to move away from polluting vehicles is completely understandable. But I fear that without a well thought out and communicated programme for the construction of the electricity charging network, many people will still be taking delivery of IC vehicles in December 2030. I say all this as someone who really wants the world to move away from our dependence on carbon based fuels, but I do not presently see the pace of progress I feel is necessary to achieve the UK's 2030 target.

[@dangreasley7934]

Great video as always. Interesting that that's the first diesel you've reviewed in ages. The sign of things to come... Sad but true.

[@ShankarShashi]

Ordered mine 2 Weeks ago, 9 month delivery :-) P400e

[@gregoryuk]

Yes Ped. Screen seems proportioned correctly. Not high and also not a huge vertical slab as per Tesla.

[@karenpoullet1837]

Just swapped my Range Rover for one …… I love it sooooooo much ❤

[@danielenticknap7540]

Midhurst? I went to school there and grew up nearby. Stunning part of the country. The A272 is one of the finest driving roads there is. Assuming it’s quiet.

[@grentheoldun]

As you say shame it as olny another 4 years especaily if the EV charge network does,nt get a lot better

[@chrishensby6250]

Great video the Jaguar F pace especially 3L V6 twin turbo diesel in 1st generation was amazing set up grace space pace I haven't driven the new 2nd generation car ,still looks great and wow the interior is another step up especially the MMI well done Jaguar, wonder what the SVR drives like,is straight 6 engine as smooth as the 1st generation I know torque figures are lower

[@alveronng9191]

Just bought the car. Very lovely.

[@wordreet]

Pretty happy with your review Pedro, as I may be able to afford one in about 15 to 20 yrs time. 😁👍

[@grahaminkpen5436]

Black and white TV. Very futuristic looking 😀

[@CarWhiz22]

A great conclusion Ped. Such a shame that they're phasing out these fabulous engines, and so frustrating that ICE cars have received such a bad name in recent years (not entirely fair IMO). Quick question though - was this the new Ingenium diesel straight six? I'm desperate to know if it's any good or not... Great review as always!

[@PetrolPed]

Superb motor 👌

[@sandersson2813]

Tremendous interior, and about time. The old one was shiversomely bad. If only Jaguar did better wheels. They could learn a thing or two from Volvo/Polestar.

[@Amathusukx]

I've had a lot of Jags even the F Pace, their EV's will need to be priced and perform as well before I consider one.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Very nice review...Thank you for your advice.

[@johnbrown3951]

This was a bit spooky I had looked at an F Pace yesterday online in midnight blue really smart looking but the 2.0L Diesel. The only thing is when I last drove one courtesy of Land Rover Assistance I found the steering to be a bit vague but maybe it was just that car. The new one looks in a different class inside to the outgoing model.

[@EA40]

Good afternoon everyone!

[@francoisg3500]

Hi there!

[@redshift3]

I don't understand why anyone would choose the handling compromise of an F-pace SUV (XF on stilts) vs an XF Sportbrake or vs the fantastic handling and superior performance of an i-pace

[@Dr_MattS]

That's a dilemma I hope to have later in the year. We used to have an XF saloon and are keen to get back to a big cat. Sportbrake XF or F Pace are front runners... The F Pace appears to have more engine options, but the XF was great to drive.

[@bennymav81]

I love trees and polar bears, however as of 2025 only used cars will get bought by me. My aim is to have 1 of every variant of the F Type.

[@michalklucz6907]

If Jag or Porsche have to build SUVs to survive and bring more boxters or f-types, I don't mind. I love the F-Pace, definitely, SVR is on the top of my list of SUVs I would like to have as an only ICE in the family. But at the same time.. if I am not going for SVR I would prefer a new Defender on my driveway :) cheers!

[@filipwennergren2712]

Great content as always!!!

[@briangriffiths114]

You can thank the Dieselgate scandal for providing the environmental lobby and politicians with all their Christmases coming at once resulting in the premature demise of the ICE.

Great video Pete! I've always liked the F-pace, if you have to have an SUV then this is the nicest to look at (imo). Glad to see they've fixed the not very premium interior of the original car. Cheers, Chris

[@jameshiggins8329]

If it is anything like my jag if it does an auto stop when you come to rest you should be able to take off the seatbelt and then take your foot of the brake at which point it should go to park mode with engine remaining off. It does not work if the engine is running when you unbuckle the seat belt. When I tested this feature I did not have the balls to do it in the garage.

[@lawrencegatt4515]

Nice 👍 suv but I prefer a petrol ⛽️ engine. . Not in Australia as yet.

Great review , good looking car. Loved to see Darcey looking so well & Hallie Bob posing for the camera 😊. Still living in hope that like most government (regardless of party) promises this one proves to be an empty one and the EV era will be a long way off still !

[@MAFFA76]

Does that have sound pumped into the cabin? You said it doesn’t sound great for a diesel but the sound that comes across on camera makes it sound pretty good. Also another great bit of road. Did a loop that way over the weekend. My grandparents used to live in that village (rest their souls) & are residents at St Paul’s there now.

[@PetrolPed]

It’s no V8 😬😂

[@richardbrown837]

One of the reasons I am looking at size of cargo space as well for my race bike. MY current Lr2 has been a fantastic car but hitting 12 years old now and it only has 55 Cubic feet , I understand the F Pace is supposed to be 69 Cubic feet.

mmm so the i-Pace is faster and about the same price as a specced up F-Pace with the 3.0 litre diesel and looks as nice or nicer outside and inside. The only thing it can't do is get you 300 miles to Cornwall non-stop. I'm off to hug a polar bear now 😉

I really liked your review for the F pace, and would kindly like to ask you opinion as I'm hesitated between 3 cars, the F pace, evoque and porche macan, I'm really confused which one to chose and hope you may help me with your opinion, thanks in advance

[@PetrolPed]

All great cars but with slightly different positioning. Macan is a brilliant car with a sporty driver oriented edge. GTS being the pick of the bunch. The other two are a little softer, unless you go for the F Pace SVR which is brilliant. It will come down to personal preference.

[@arthurpullin7669]

Very nice like the de chromed look

[@KCnLex]

Are the side grills for cooling the brakes or for looks? Have to say the black package makes the grills so not in your face. The panoramic roof is fabulous. And you can love both polar bears and jaguars and wish they could live in peace and harmony!
