The design of the F-Pace is similar to the C-X17 concept and has a bold and aggressive look. The sleek headlights and tail lights contribute to the sense of style; with the large air intakes, fender vents, tailgate-mounted spoiler and twin exhausts conveying sportiness. The Jaguar F-Pace is based on the iQ platform that has a high level of aluminum, making the crossover light and a nimble handler.

The cabin is endowed with a 10.2-inch tablet-style touchscreen display for the InControl Touch Pro infotainment system as well as a WiFi hotspot that can connect to eight devices at a time.

The crossover not only looks sporty but has F-Type-derived technologies to walk the talk. It features torque vectoring, adaptive dynamics and configurable dynamics, which are found in the sports car. Precise feedback from the road is also ensured by the Electric Power Assisted Steering system.
