Despite continued issues with Jaguar vehicles, the company is improving, with some vehicles shining through the marketplace as bright spots in the Jaguar lineup. Here is everything you need to know about how the 2023 F-Pace is leading the way in Jaguar’s lineup according to U.S. News. 

2023 Jaguar F-Pace price, specs, and features

The 2023 Jaguar F-Pace is a compact luxury SUV that starts at around $52,400. The F-Pace comes standard with a 2.0L turbo four-cylinder engine capable of producing 247 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque.

This engine is available on both the base F-Pace and the F-Pace S models. If you upgrade to the R-Dynamic S model, you get a 3.0L twin-charged inline six-cylinder engine that uses a turbo and a supercharger to produce 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque.

Finally, the top-of-the-line SVR model comes equipped with a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine which outputs 542 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Every engine option is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as standard.

The F-Pace is a luxury compact SUV. With that luxury designation, there are a significant number of standard features to be found in the cabin. Some of these features in the 2023 F-Pace include an 11.4-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration and charging and a 12-speaker audio system.

Standard safety features include a rearview camera, forward collision warning with automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and automatic high-beam headlights.

Available safety features include adaptive cruise control with lane centering, adaptive speed limiter, parking assist, and a heads-up display. When properly equipped, the 2023 F-Pace is capable of towing 5,291 pounds, and the V8-equipped SVR model is capable of a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds.

Which vehicles outpaced the F-Pace?

While the 2023 F-Pace is an excellent vehicle, it did only score an 8.0 overall from U.S. News. The most significant issues U.S. News found with the F-Pace involved the SUV’s high starting price which can reach nearly $90,000 for a fully loaded model.

Another issue was the F-Pace’s poor fuel economy due to its performance-focused engines. This 8.0 rating put the F-Pace eighth in its class of luxury compact SUVs.

Ranking higher than the F-Pace is the Volvo XC60, Lincoln Corsair, Mercedes GLB, Acura RDX, Mercedes GLC, BMW X3, and Genesis GV70. All of these higher-ranking vehicles have many of the same characteristics as the 2023 F-Pace but are more affordable. The only vehicles found in the luxury compact SUV class that cost more than the F-Pace are the Porsche Macan and the BMW X4.

Is this luxury SUV worth it?

If you can find a deal on a 2023 Jaguar F-Pace, don’t let the price tag bring you down. The F-Pace is a luxury SUV with performance that matches some of the world’s best sports cars.

When these performance numbers are combined with the capability of towing over 5,000, you have a classy luxury vehicle that can do it all.
