The F-Pace gets a 5-star safety rating
Safety and After Sales Service – There is nothing like an ‘unsafe car’ when you are shopping for a car from this segment. Like all its rivals, the F-Pace scores a full five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Jaguar offers all the bells and whistles like ESP, Traction Control, pre-tensioner seat belts and 6 airbags. Jaguar is not offering radar-based safety with the F-Pace as of now. Factor in the superb build quality and amazing dynamics, you have a very safe car indeed.

The F-Pace is a gorgeous luxury SUV with punchy performance
Verdict – The Jaguar F-Pace still remains one of the better looking, better equipped, better handling and more desirable SUVs in our market. So regardless of which engine you pick, the F-Pace still comes across as a very well rounded and refreshingly different alternative to the regular German brigade. However, the 2.0-litre engine with its smooth powertrain and good exhaust note comes across as the more entertaining engine in the line-up. But we miss the effortless torque of the V6 diesel and the superb efficiency of the 2.0-litre diesel. That said if you are after something that is refined and reasonably quick and is a low-mileage driver, the petrol 25T makes a strong case for itself.
