Jaguar F-Pace 35T Prestige Review
2017 Jaguar F-Pace 35T Prestige

The nebulous term “crossover” now defines today’s best-selling vehicles—aside from pickups. And just like trucks, which started life on the farm before morphing into daily drivers for all demographics, these off-roaders have subdivided into niches almost too numerous to name. Here is a sampling of some of the latest, as well as some sexy counterprogramming for those who only need two doors.

The Jaguar F-Pace is the most dynamic drive in the crossover class aside from the Porsche Macan, which is it easily beats in the “utility” portion of the SUV contest. It has a much roomier back seat and more cargo room, despite dimensions that are almost the same. It doesn’t share the German machine’s sense of solidity, though, with obvious cost-cutting evident in the center console and some other moldings and a slow-witted, low-rez standard interface (a better, Pro version is optional). What Jaguar got spot-on is the way the F-Pace translates the driver’s wishes into hyper-alert yet controlled body motions through superb steering, an interactive balance and stonking response from the supercharged 340hp. Avoid the largest wheel sizes which improve the Jaguar’s visuals but diminish the already flinty ride quality.
