The 2025 Jaguar F-PACE is the last model of Jaguar’s first SUV, which has been a mix of luxury, performance, and practicality since it came out in 2016. The 2025 F-PACE is the last SUV from Jaguar that runs on an internal combustion engine (ICE). It has a great combination of a sleek design, fun driving, and high-end features. The F-PACE is still a top choice in the crowded compact luxury SUV market, going up against the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Porsche Macan. It doesn’t have any major changes for its last model year. Here’s a closer look at why the 2025 Jaguar F-PACE is a great choice for people who want a fun but useful luxury SUV.
Design and Style: Strong and Elegant Look
The 2025 Jaguar F-PACE has a strong but elegant look that makes it look confident. The F-PACE has a sporty handling and a luxurious interior. It has signature design features like a big front grille with the Jaguar heritage logo, all-LED quad headlights, and more.
Choices of engines and how well they work
The 2025 F-PACE comes with three different powertrains, each with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD) for sure performance in a wide range of situations.
The base model, the P250 R-Dynamic S, has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds and gets the best gas mileage of any car in the lineup, with 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. This trim strikes a good balance between performance and efficiency, making it perfect for buyers who want to get the most for their money.
The P400 R-Dynamic S is a mid-range model with a 3.0-liter inline-six engine that has a turbocharger, an electric supercharger, and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and has 395 horsepower. The car gets 19 miles per gallon in the city and 25 miles per gallon on the highway. The P400 has a fun driving experience with smooth power delivery, but its transmission can be slow to downshift when not in sport mode.
SVR 575 Edition: The F-PACE SVR P575, which is the most powerful version, gets a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine with 567 horsepower (up 25 hp from 2024). It goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 178 mph. It has better performance thanks to bigger brakes, an active electronic differential, torque vectoring, adaptive suspension, and sticky summer tires. But its fuel economy is lower than expected, at 15 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway.
Jaguar’s Intelligent Driveline Dynamics improves the F-PACE’s sporty handling by making the AWD system work better in most situations, giving it a rear-drive feel. The suspension is set up so that the ride is firm but responsive. Bigger wheels (up to 22 inches) make the ride a little bumpy, but the handling is still very precise.
Interior and Technology: Modern connectivity meets premium comfort
The 2025 F-PACE has a refined and roomy cabin with seats for five and the most cargo space in its class—32.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 70.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. The inside has high-quality materials like DuoLeather, Windsor leather, or semi-aniline leather. It also has standard heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and optional 14-way adjustable heated and cooled seats. A sliding panoramic roof makes the space feel more open, and soft-touch surfaces and aluminum accents make it feel more luxurious.
The tech suite’s main feature is a 11.4-inch curved touchscreen that runs Jaguar’s Pivi Pro infotainment system. This system has wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and self-learning navigation. The system isn’t as easy to use as some German competitors, but it is responsive and looks good, with physical rotary dials for quick access to climate control. Some other cool tech features are a digital rear-view mirror, a 12.3-inch HD virtual instrument cluster, and the Activity Key, a waterproof wristband that lets you lock and unlock the car. Some reviews, on the other hand, say that the cabin makes some small squeaks and that the infotainment interface is not as easy to use as those of other cars.
Safety and Driver Assistance: Full Protection
The 2025 F-PACE has a lot of standard driver-assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control with steering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, front and rear parking assist, drowsy driver alert, and traffic sign recognition. The Driver Intelligence package comes with a 360-degree camera and help with parking. The NHTSA and IIHS have not crash-tested the F-PACE, which is normal for luxury cars that don’t sell a lot of them. However, it does come with two full LATCH connector sets for child safety seats.
Pricing and Value: A High-End Offer
In the U.S., the 2025 F-PACE starts at $57,000 for the P250 R-Dynamic S, $66,500 for the P400 R-Dynamic S, and $92,400 for the SVR 575 Edition. In Canada, the starting prices are $66,900, $76,400, and $104,200, plus a $2,150 freight and PDI fee. The F-PACE has standard features like 19-inch wheels, a power liftgate, and a panoramic sunroof, but it costs more than some competitors, such as the BMW X3. Consumer Reports gives it a predicted reliability rating of 30/100, which means it may not be as reliable as other cars. Edmunds gives it a 7.8 out of 10, and 35 reviews give it 4 stars. They like the style and performance, but they are worried about the tech issues and the quality of the build.
Driving Experience: A Hot Hatch on Stilts
The F-PACE is different from other luxury SUVs because of how it drives. The iQ-Al platform, which is also used by the XE, XF, and Range Rover Velar, is the basis for this car. It has a double wishbone front suspension and an Integral Link rear suspension, which gives it a good balance of handling and ride quality. The steering is quick and clear, giving you feedback that makes you feel safe. The chassis feels like a “hot hatch on stilts,” and it flows through corners with agility that only the Porsche Macan can match. Drivers can customize their experience with Adaptive Dynamics and Configurable Dynamics systems that let them fine-tune the steering, suspension, and throttle response. The base P250’s 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds is slower than some competitors, and the transmission can be slow in non-sport modes.
The Market and What Will Happen Next
The F-PACE was first made in 2016 and updated in 2021. It has been Jaguar’s best-selling model around the world, with more than 250,000 sold. It won the 2017 World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year awards because it can combine the brand’s sporty history with the usefulness of an SUV. The 2025 F-PACE is probably Jaguar’s last ICE model year, though, since the company is switching to an all-electric lineup. The electric I-PACE is the only model that is expected to continue. This means that the 2025 model is the last chance to buy a gas-powered Jaguar SUV, which is great for people who want a car that looks and drives great.
Conclusion: A Legacy That Will Last
The 2025 Jaguar F-PACE is a great way for Jaguar to say goodbye to its ICE SUV line. It has a great mix of style, performance, and usefulness. It stands out for people who want a luxury SUV that is fun to drive because of its sporty handling, luxurious interior, and powerful engine choices. Some buyers may think twice about buying it because of its high price, average fuel economy, and small tech and reliability issues compared to competitors like the BMW X3 or Porsche Macan. The F-PACE is a great choice for people who care about character and excitement while driving. The fire-breathing SVR 575 Edition is especially fun. Jaguar is going all-electric, so the 2025 F-PACE is your last chance to own a piece of the brand’s long history with combustion engines. Before it’s too late, schedule a test drive at your local Jaguar dealer to see how exciting it is to drive.
