Mechanically the car is fairly well built, apart from the rear axle.
The air conditioning is effective and visibility is good, while the FR setup paired with the 18" wheels, in my view, hurts comfort — getting in and out can be awkward. Once on board, though, the seats are very comfortable. The infotainment is comprehensive, with a generously sized screen and full-link smartphone connectivity; the factory sat-nav does what it can, but obviously Maps is superior in every way.
All in all, a fun/sporty car that also winks at family life thanks to a roomy boot and modest fuel consumption.

Jaguar F-Pace

Jaguar F-Pace blends the prowling presence of a sports car with the practicality of an SUV, looking elegant while rewarding drivers with lively handling. If you crave something that feels special every time you climb in and prefer style and driving flair over blending into the parking lot, the F-Pace is a classy, slightly cheeky alternative to the usual German suspects.
