Say it with me slowly — Jaaaaag. If the voice in your head didn’t sound like Jeremy Clarkson, then you haven’t quite got the right idea. Let me explain. Although Clarkson uses the slang as a double entendre (referring to a Jaguar owner who is sleazy or old), there’s a hint of, ‘Yeah, but that’s what it’s all about and we like it.’ From time immemorial, a Jaguar has stood for desirability, a seductive design, and a knack for taking corners in a way that makes drivers grin, all the while cocooning occupants in comfort. So does the recently updated Jaguar F-Pace meet these criteria?
Even when the pre-facelift model had arrived in India back in 2016, there wasn’t a shred of doubt in my mind that Jaguar’s first SUV looked the part. However, the most recent update enhances its appeal significantly. By enlarging the grille, slimming down the allLED headlights and adding beefier bumpers, the F-Pace now looks wider and more muscular, befitting the role of Jaguar’s big SUV. The new I-Pace-inspired tail-lights look nothing less than stunning and add depth to the boot area. Despite the obvious bulk, there is a svelteness to the F-Pace’s design that only a Jag has, although it is less striking than some of its stablemates. There’s almost a subdued air around it, hinting that this may be more or less than a usual Jaguar sedan or sportscar. The fact that the twin-fivespoke 19-inch wheels are the same as the ones before isn’t necessarily a bad thing as they do suit the F-Pace.
