Jaguar F-Pace Wins 2017 AutoGuide.com Reader's Choice Luxury Utility Vehicle of the Year Award

Jaguar’s first entry in the SUV segment has earned it AutoGuide.com’s 2017 Reader’s Choice Luxury Utility Vehicle of the Year Award.

Available with a variety of powertrain options, the Jaguar F-Pace offers up to 380 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, although the British automaker is working on a high-performance SVR version. The five-seater luxury SUV features a cargo volume of 33.5 cubic feet, but once the rear seats fold down it’s expanded to 61.4 cubic feet. Like the Jaguar F-Type all-wheel drive, the F-Pace boasts a torque-on-demand all-wheel-drive system, while in-car technology is focused around a 10.2-inch infotainment screen and a virtual 12.3-inch HD instrument cluster with full-navigation display.

“Leading the charge into newfound territory is the 2017 F-Pace, something the company is billing as an all-season sports car with family-friendly practicality,” said AutoGuide.com‘s Craig Cole in his review. “That may sound like something of an oxymoron, but against the odds, this Jaguar actually lives up to the hype.”
