Jaguar F-Pace (2016 - 2024) – design
The F-Pace’s inherently sound aesthetic remains largely the same in 2023, with just enough detail upgrades to keep it looking fresh
The exterior design is perhaps where the F-Pace has needed the least amount of work since its original debut, and it looks like Jaguar has thought the same thing, as aside from some subtle reprofiling of the bumpers and lighting, the overall effect is much the same.
That is a testament to the original design by Ian Callum and Julian Thomson, built on a foundation of fantastic proportions and timeless design signatures that only needed a small update to stay fresh. In fact, thanks to a somewhat flat generation of new design from most premium manufacturers in this class, the F-Pace could be considered the best looking of the lot.
The tweaked design elements are welcome though; the headlights are very similar to before with only their internal design reconfigured, but the rears have a much more confident graphic that also completely changes the night-time signature. The only weak spot would be the overly complex rear valance that makes the whole car look bigger due to the body colour looping down underneath the exhaust outlets.
There are attractive wheel designs in most sizes, and while the 22-inch option still offers that concept-car like stance, 21-inch offerings draw a better compromise between ride quality and aesthetics.
