Your Best Look Yet at the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace
For the first time ever, we have a clearer look at the production 2017 Jaguar F-Pace without camouflage. Jaguar has released one photo and a video of the new crossover before its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in less than two weeks.
Interestingly, the backdrop of the photo and the video is Shanghai, a hint at the intended audience for the new luxury crossover. Chinese buyers are a huge market for luxury SUVs.
At the F-Pace’s official public debut, Jaguar will be celebrating 80 years of motoring. The F-Pace, Jaguar’s first-ever SUV, will be the third new model from Jaguar this year.

The crossover will share its platform with the new Jaguar XE compact sedan, which means we can expect a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a high-performance supercharged V6 under the hood, likely along with at least one diesel engine. The car will also use aluminum extensively to keep its weight low.
The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace will go on sale in 2016.

Why does Jaguar need a crossover? Isn't that Land Rover's job?
