Jaguar announces F-Pace - the production version of the breakthrough C-X17 concept car

Jaguar has confirmed it will introduce an all-new model to the Jaguar line-up, to go on-sale in 2016, named the Jaguar F-Pace.

We received such an overwhelmingly positive response to the C-X17 concept car last year that we just had to make it a reality," said Ian Callum,
Director of Design, Jaguar.

"The Jaguar F-Pace, inspired by the F-Type, represents a perfectly judged balance of performance, style and practicality. It offers a unique combination of Jaguar sports car inspired exterior design, fused beautifully with a thoroughly practical and spacious luxury interior. The F-Pace is our family sports car."

The Jaguar F-Pace couples class-leading interior space and exceptional on-road dynamics with five-seat usability to produce a true performance crossover.  It will encapsulate everything that Jaguar stands for: beautiful design, precise handling, a supple ride, luxurious interior finishes and cutting-edge technology.

"In 2015 we will celebrate Jaguar's 80th year. We have started it by announcing our first performance crossover which we consider to be the ultimate practical sports car - a car that builds on the marque's founding ideals of Grace, Pace and Space to become one of the most innovative Jaguars we've ever developed. The F-Pace has now begun its engineering and development testing programme ahead of the new model going on sale in 2016," said Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover Global Sales Director.

The F-Pace will be manufactured in Solihull, UK.
