Подержанный Jaguar F-Pace: обзор надежности, цены и альтернатив

What's the used Jaguar F-PACE like? While most of its premium-badged rivals had been busy attracting new customers with their family SUVs for what seemed like a hundred years, Jaguar was a little late to the party. Indeed, it took until 2016 before the British company started making up for lost time with, first of all, this striking Jaguar F-Pace, then the smaller and equally handsome Jaguar E-Pace, and finally the innovative and all-electric Jaguar I-Pace. The Jaguar F-Pace is a good used buy. It's great value, fun to drive and reasonably practical, plus there are plenty of examples available on forecourts. There are more comfortable alternatives, though. Its reliability record has improved in recent years. Pros - Great handling - Spacious interior - Lots of standard kit Cons - So-so interior quality on early cars - Firm ride - Reliability has been mixed in the past Used cars available now The F-Pace was quite a success in its lifetime, which ended in 2024. There are now plenty of good examples looking tempting on the used car forecourts. Engines and performance: There is an engine to suit most needs in the F-Pace range. The line-up includes a relatively frugal 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel with either 178bhp or 237bhp, a refined 296bhp 3.0-litre V6 diesel, a perky 247bhp 2.0-litre petrol, a rapid 375bhp 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol, and a bonkers 542bhp 5.0-litre V8 petrol in the F-Pace SVR. For most of the time, the 2.0-litre diesel does all you could want. However, the V6 diesel offers a smoother, more relaxing driving experience. The V6 supercharged petrol sounds great and is seriously rapid, while the lesser four-cylinder petrol is refined but doesn't have as much punch low-down as the equivalent diesels. In 2021, the engine line-up was heavily revised with a range of mild-hybrid petrols and diesels, along with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). There's a 247bhp 2.0-litre P250, a 395bhp 3.0-litre P400, a 399bhp P400e PHEV, a 201bhp 2.0-litre diesel and a 296bhp 3.0-litre D300 diesel. For the six-cylinder units, a new straight-six engine replaced the old V6 units. You can have an early F-Pace with rear-wheel drive to save on weight and cost, or one with an all-wheel-drive system. Having said that, this system is only part-time since it spends most of its time powering the rear wheels of the F-Pace, with only the front wheels coming into play when needed. This means that while there is a little bit of a fuel economy penalty by having this extra capability, it has been reduced to only a few miles per gallon. Ride and handling: The F-Pace is a very sporty SUV to drive. This is aided by its lightweight construction, but it also due to it sharing underpinnings with Jaguar’s XE and XF saloons – both of which have been applauded for their superb handling. The F-Pace doesn’t disappoint here because it genuinely feels like a hot-hatch on stilts: it can flow through bends better than any SUV this side of a Porsche Macan. It’s only the tightest of bends that remind you that you are driving a taller vehicle. The standard suspension set-up is firm around town and the larger alloy wheel options tend to exacerbate that, but it's not harsh. Things settle down and improve with speed, although the ride is busier on motorways than an Audi Q5 or Volvo XC60. On the plus side, it's well controlled, so there's very little bounce or fidget along undulating country lanes. A more sophisticated adaptive setup is available, called Adaptive Dynamics. It was optional with the four-cylinder engines and standard on the six-cylinder and PHEV units. It's more supple than the standard suspension but there's still a firmer edge to it. Interior and practicality: The F-Pace has a commanding driving position with plenty of adjustment in the steering wheel and seat. Visibility is good, at least to the front and the sides, and there's plenty of space up front. Two rear-seat passengers get plenty of head and leg room, although adding a third passenger limits shoulder room somewhat. Usable boot space is as good as rivals such as the BMW X3 and Land Rover Discovery Sport, since you can get a couple of large suitcases in there with ease. If you have a young family, the buggy will go in there too. Dominating the centre of the dashboard is Jaguar's InControl infotainment system, which comes with an 8.0in touchscreen display surrounded by traditional physical shortcut keys, a DAB radio, sat-nav, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration and a wi-fi hotspot. Upgrade to the InControl Pro system and you'll get a 10.2in touchscreen system complete with a more advanced sat-nav system, a Meridian sound system, 10GB of on-board storage, various Jaguar online services and a customisable 12.3in digital instrument cluster. In 2021, a new 11.4-inch curved touchscreen infotainment system replaced the older setup. Called Pivi Pro, it features simplified menu structures, a quicker response, sharper graphics and over-the-air (OTA) software update capability. Trims and equipment: On pre-facelift cars, there are four trim levels to choose from, split into two categories - Luxury and Sport. Luxury-trimmed Prestige models come with 18in alloy wheels, satin chrome roof rails, chrome exterior detailing, a powered tailgate, leather upholstery and ambient interior lighting as standard. Opting for the Portfolio trim adds 19in alloy wheels, a panoramic roof, xenon headlights, auto-dimming and power-folding wing mirrors, Windsor leather upholstery, 10-way electrically adjustable front seats, keyless entry, a rear-view camera and a 380W Meridian sound system. R-Sport trim heads up the Sport range, kitting the F-Pace out in 19in alloys, a sporty body kit, satin black exterior details, gloss black roof rails, xenon headlights, sports seats and satin chrome paddle shifters. The range-topping S model, which is only available with the 3.0-litre V6 engine, gets 20in alloy wheels, adaptive suspension, bigger front brake discs, red brake calipers, a heated front windscreen and washer jets, 10-way electrically adjustable seats, keyless entry, a rear view camera and a 380W Meridian sound system. In 2021, the trim levels were updated. The entry-level F-Pace (it's simply called F-Pace) comes with LED headlights, eight-way part-electrically adjustable front seats, front and rear parking sensors and a 360-degree camera, but you also get cruise control, a heated steering wheel, a heated windscreen, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, two-zone climate control, power-folding door mirrors and 19in alloy wheels. It's really well-equipped. The S trim adds a powered tailgate and leather seats. Higher trims, such as SE, add luxuries such as keyless entry, while the popular and sporty-looking R-Dynamic models have more aggressive styling and sports seats. Facelift: The F-Pace was treated to a mid-life refresh in 2021, with super-slim front and rear LED lights, re-profiled bodywork, a larger grille and, best of all, a heavily reworked interior that improved interior quality. As mentioned previously, the engine and trim line-up were also heavily revised. "The interior in the facelift model is fabulous. The materials, infotainment and general build quality is a noticeably better than the older setup. I'd recommend going for a newer F-Pace for that reason alone." – George Hill, Used Cars Writer If you're interested in finding a used F-Pace, or any of the other SUVs mentioned here, head over to the Used Car Buying pages to find lots of cars listed for sale at a great price. Tips & Advice Ownership cost What used Jaguar F-PACE will I get for my budget? Prices for a used Jaguar F-Pace start at around £7000 for an early 2.0-litre diesel version with high mileage, either with a manual gearbox or an auto. Spend upwards of £9000 for a car with more reasonable mileage, while £12,000 will get you a 2020 car in good condition. For facelift 2021 examples, prices start from around £16,000 for a high-mileage model. For cars with around 50,000 miles on the clock, expect to pay upwards of £20,000. Later 2024 models start from around £27,000. For an SVR, have a budget of at least £30,000. Facelift SVRs start from around £40,000. Check the value of a used Jaguar F-Pace with What Car? Valuations How much does cost to run a Jaguar F-PACE? MPG It’s a mixed bag because some engines are quite efficient and some are the antithesis of frugal. To start with, there’s a rear-wheel-drive version equipped with a 178bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine and a manual gearbox that has a combined figure of 57.7mpg under the older NEDC tests (47.9mpg under the current WLTP cycle). The all-wheel-drive version of the same model is a little less efficient at 54.3mpg. Going for the more powerful 237bhp version drops fuel economy to 42.1mpg. Things are a little pricier once you get into the V6 engine range. The 3.0-litre diesel has a combined consumption of 37.9mpg under the WLTP tests. The 2.0-litre petrol isn’t particularly frugal with a combined figure of 38.2mpg, or 30.7mpg under the WLTP tests, and then there is the supercharged, 3.0-litre petrol with a combined average of 31.7mpg (less if you exploit its 375bhp power reserves). Mind, it's not as bad as the 5.0-litre V8 at a mere 23.7mpg. CO2 emissions Not all engines were available before the 1 April 2017 changeover in how car tax is calculated, so we're only looking at the ones that were here. The 178bhp 2.0-litre diesel has the lowest emissions of 129g/km for the rear-wheel drive model or 139g/km with all-wheel drive. The 3.0-litre V6 diesel emits 159g/km, while the 3.0-litre V6 petrol chucks out 209g/km. Road tax If you are looking at an F-Pace that was registered after 1 April 2017, you'll pay the currently flat rate fee of £200 for all versions. Be aware, though; if your car cost more than £40,000 when new (many were), it'll then be hit with an additional surcharge on top of the flat-rate fee between years two and six, and that's currently £425 a year.

Owners appreciate the dependability of newer models, noting a reduction in issues compared to predecessors. However, electrical and infotainment system glitches remain a concern for some. Dealer service experiences also vary, with many praising their dealership for exceptional attention and professionalism, yet others point out service inconsistencies, including delays and high repair costs.

Specification On pre-facelift models, our recommended trim is Prestige, since it has all you really need and is available with the smaller engines. The top-of-the-range S models are reserved for V6 engines; this does mean you get even bigger 20in alloy wheels, but it does come with adaptive suspension which has a comfort mode to help. Facelift models are increasingly good value, and since they have a much better interior and infotainment system than pre-facelift cars, we'd steer you towards them. R-Dynamic S (or regular S) are our recommended trims for these, since they are really well equipped for the money. Engine On pre-facelift cars, we recommend the 178bhp 2.0-litre diesel for its blend of performance and efficiency. On facelift examples, the 201bhp D200 offers a similar balance. However, be wary of potential timing-chain issues with the four-cylinder diesels, and check the service history for any related repairs or work. If your budget allows, the 3.0-litre V6 and straight-six diesels are a good choice. If you want petrol power, the 247bhp 2.0-litre is a punchy performer that remains smooth at higher revs. Which is just as well really since its deficit of torque in comparison to the diesels means you will need to use plenty of revs to make quick progress. You could solve that by going for the supercharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol, and while it sounds great and can embarrass a number of serious sports cars at the traffic light grand prix, its low fuel economy can be difficult to stomach. Our favourite Jaguar F-Pace: 2.0 D200 MHEV R-Dynamic S Tips & Advice Alternatives What alternatives should I consider to a used Jaguar F-PACE? Like the Jaguar F-Pace, the Audi Q5 can be found with economical four-cylinder diesels and high-performance V6s. The interior of the Q5 is finished to an impressive standard and makes the Q5 a quiet and relaxing place to whittle away the miles. Avoid the S line version because the ride is a little too firm in comparison with our favoured SE spec. The BMW X3 has the F-Pace beaten when it comes to infotainment due to the superior ease of use of its iDrive system. It can’t quite match the F-Pace in terms of how it handles, but it runs it closer than any other car in this class. The Porsche Macan is comfortably the best in terms of handling. The trouble is, you really need the more powerful Macan S with a V6 engine to make the most of it and this means you need to spend a little bit more to drive away in one. And practicality isn’t as good as it is in an F-Pace since boot space and rear-seat room are compromised due to the curved rear end of the Macan.
