With the largest sales percentage increase year over year, Jaguar is by far the fastest-growing auto brand in America for 2016. Jaguar sales increased 116 percent from 2015 to 2016 due in no small part to the F-PACE, the first-ever Jaguar SUV. However, the F-PACE doesn’t get all the credit. Jaguar passenger car sales, ranging from the entry-level XE to the mid-range XF and top-of-the-line XJ, were up as well.
The F-PACE phenomenon
Equipped with standard all-wheel drive and a diesel-powered inline-four making 180 horsepower, the F-PACE caters to a new generation of Jaguar enthusiasts with a base MSRP of just $41,990.* Add the supercharged V6 that produces 340 horsepower, and the F-PACE is still priced thousands less than a Porsche Macan while delivering a lot more power. With that kind of value for the money, it’s easy to see why the F-PACE came on strong.
Feels like a sports car
Equipped with the supercharged V6, the F-PACE has a 0-60 time of just 5.1 seconds. Add to that a double wishbone front and integral link rear suspension along with its advanced Electric Power Assisted Steering system, and the F-PACE is the closest thing to a sports car in its class. If that’s not enough, the F-PACE offers an impressive selection of lightweight alloy wheels, ranging from the standard 18-inch versions up to a massive 22 inches.
Distinctly Jaguar
Step inside and you’ll know you’re in a Jaguar. You’ll find premium materials, class-leading rear knee room, and an infotainment system housed in an 8-inch or available 10.2-inch touchscreen. It’s evident that safety is a huge priority, too, as the F-PACE contains several systems, including a state-of-the-art stereo camera that incorporates lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and driver condition monitor systems.
Keeping quality a priority
With the success of the new F-PACE, as well as its passenger cars, it’s clear that Jaguar has plenty of appeal across the board. It also seems evident that Jaguar has no interest in sacrificing quality as it gains popularity-- good news for Jaguar enthusiasts everywhere.
