2026 Jaguar F-PACE Review: Expert Insights, Pricing, and Trims
In 2026 Jaguar makes only one vehicle: the F-Pace. This luxury SUV is everything for the British brand as it works to redefine itself as an ultra-luxury automaker. Jaguar had said that 2025 would be the final year of production for the F-Pace, but apparently this sleek cat had another year of life in it. What's New Basics Compact spare tire included on I-4 and I-6 models Exterior Commemorative 90th anniversary badge added to tailgate Front foglights added to I-4 and I-6 models Interior 360-degree camera and semi-automated parking assist become standard SVR model gains upgraded audio system What We Think As Jaguar transitions confusingly into its next chapter, the 2026 F-Pace represents the entirety of the brand's 2026 lineup. First launched for the 2017 model year and refreshed in 2021, this luxury SUV is showing its age, and this will likely be its final year on sale. That said, there are still reasons to consider the F-Pace beyond its stylish exterior and premium interior finishing. This SUV's precise steering and confident handling are satisfying, and its all-wheel-drive system delivers effective traction. The available I-6 engine with mild hybrid assistance provides smooth, refined power, while the high-performance SVR model gains a V-8 that delivers thrilling acceleration and a muscular exhaust note. Skip the underwhelming, overworked base I-4 engine, though. Inside, Jaguar's infotainment system lags newer rivals, and the F-Pace's pricing is on the high side for the segment. Still, when choosing the I-6 or V-8 engine, the F-Pace continues to offer a distinctive and dynamic option among luxury compact SUVs, even if it's not the best. Top-Ranked Competitors: Genesis GV70 BMW X3 Audi Q5 Porsche Macan MotorTrend Tested Regardless of engine, every F-Pace uses an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 badged P250 that produces 246 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is estimated to take 6.9 seconds. As an upgrade, the P400 engine is a 3.0-liter I-6 that benefits from a turbocharger, electric supercharger, and mild hybrid system. It produces 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, which reduces the 0–60-mph time to 5.9 seconds. Then there's the F-Pace SVR 575, which has a 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 that cranks out 567 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. According to Jaguar, the 0–60-mph launch takes just 3.8 seconds. MPGs and Range When equipped with the basic I-4 engine, fuel economy for the F-Pace is rated at approximately 22/27 mpg and total driving range on a full tank of gas is about 520 miles. Choosing the I-6 reduces fuel economy to 19/25 mpg and driving range to 460 miles. Unsurprisingly, the SVR's V-8 is the least efficient, returning 15/21 mpg and about 370 miles of range. Safety Features All 2026 F-Pace models have driver assist and active safety features including: Front automatic emergency braking Rear cross-traffic alert Blind spot monitoring Lane keep assist Adaptive cruise control Road sign recognition Cargo Space and Interior Room On the larger side of the compact SUV spectrum, the F-Pace provides more interior capacity than some of its rivals. Technology Infotainment All F-Pace models have a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster supplemented by a head-up display. The infotainment screen measures 11.4 inches, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. In addition to USB ports, a wireless charging pad is standard. A 360-degree camera is included on all 2026 models. Sound System Meridian supplies the standard 12-speaker and optional 16-speaker audio systems available in the Jaguar F-Pace. Value Standard Features Pricing for the 2026 F-Pace starts at slightly less than $59,000. For that you get 19-inch wheels, LED headlights and taillights, leather-accented upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, a power tailgate, and an 11.4-inch touchscreen among other tech features. Recommended Trim If you're going to get an F-Pace in 2026, just go all out and get the SVR. Given the newer, better, less expensive luxury compact SUVs on the market, the main reason you'd choose a 2026 F-Pace is for street presence and speedy performance, which the SVR version has the most of. Otherwise, choose a different vehicle.

These Might Be the Last V-8-Powered Jaguars Ever
Jaguar is going through a major rebranding right now. It stopped producing every model last year except for the F-Pace , but even it is on borrowed time. The automaker is getting ready to say goodbye to the model—and its V-8 engine—as it shifts to electric, giving the SUV a limited-run sendoff in Australia with the SVR 575 Ultimate Edition. Under the hood is Jaguar's supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine, which debuted 15 years ago. It makes 567 horsepower in the F-Pace, sending the SUV from zero to 62 miles per hour in 4.0 seconds. It has a 178-mph top speed. Jag is only offering the 575 Ultimate Edition in four colors: Sorrento Yellow, British Racing Green Gloss, Icy White Gloss, and Ligurian Black Satin. Each one features the Black Exterior Pack, black roof rails, Ultimate Edition badging, and 22-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin features Ebony Semi-Aniline leather performance seats with carbon-fiber trim. The front seats are heated and cooled, too. There's also a head-up display, privacy glass, and a panoramic roof. Photo by: Jaguar The SVR 575 Ultimate Edition costs AUS$182,235, or $118,768 at current exchange rates. Jaguar is only making 60 of these high-performance SUVs, and they're all for the Australian market. If you're lucky enough to get one, it'll come with a unique car cover. Jaguar's F-Pace-Less Future Jaguar previewed what comes next for the brand with the Type 00 Concept , which will turn into a four-door GT when the production version debuts later this year. However, it won't be a car aimed at Jaguar's current buyers . The brand wants to move upmarket and compete with the likes of Bentley and Maybach, so a reasonably priced F-Pace replacement is unlikely. F-Pace production should be wrapping up soon, leaving Jaguar's old lineup in the past as it tries to court a new segment of high-earning buyers who might already be souring on expensive electric vehicles .
