Move aside, BMW 3 Series and Audi 4, as the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is here to take the market by storm as a sporty crossover SUV. It’s a handsome-looking car and it’s going to make use of a very sophisticated chassis technology. This is going to be really exciting.
It is claimed that Jaguar Land Rover has also made plans to incorporate an aluminum-intensive construction (known as Jaguar’s Lightweight Aluminum Architecture), making the crossover SUV really lightweight but rigid. In addition, the curb weight of the vehicle is actually pretty light for an SUV too, with an approximate 4,000 pounds in total.
Though it’s a given fact that Britain’s automotive industry is still on its heels, Jaguar has landed high hopes on its 2017 F-Pace and the 2017 XE sedan, even hoping for a turnaround in their US market. Jaguar Land Rover will also have two upcoming SUVs produced as mere support to the F-Pace, as the carmaker believes the latter would be its best-selling model while the other two variants would serve to secure its spot in the UK market.
It is also rumoured that F-Pace’s main rivalry (when it comes to the pricing) would be that of the Porsche’s Macan, so it is very possible that its base model will come out of the retail market with a price of about $54,000. And apparently, with 1,300 workers serving to help in the production of the F-Pace crossover, it’ll be highly likely that they’ll arrive in showrooms as early as the beginning of next year.
