Oh, Hello There Previously Unseen Jaguar F-Pace

Jaguar’s coming crossover, dubbed F-Pace, was sent all over the world to test in various climates, and the automaker is sharing its photo album from the trip.

The F-Pace pictured here is only slightly camouflaged ahead of its official unveiling in Frankfurt later this year. The pictures show a crossover that’s expected to take on the likes of the BMW X4 and Porsche Macan when it goes on sale next year — if the automaker is to be taken seriously.

The body in the photos closely resembles the C-X17 concept that Jaguar showed off a couple years ago, and spy shots that have been circulating for a while.

While it appears that the rear tail lamps will likely be different on the production version, the concept’s aggressive hood lines and sloping roof line have remained the same. Even from the front, the Jaguar looks, well, almost Jaguar-ish.

The statement from the automaker didn’t reveal any details about what could be stuffed under the hood. Everything from a six- to eight-cylinder engine could make its way in there, forced induction or not. We’ll learn more when the crossover concept becomes a reality in Frankfurt.

The Frankfurt Motor Show begins Sept. 15.

    How did P-Face get past the obscenity censor?

    Here's their first campaign: Close-up shot of a stereotypical trophy wife, saying, "If you want to see my O-Face, you need to get me an F-Pace." They'll sell a gazillion of them.

  • Jalop1991 expensive repairs??? I've heard that EVs don't require anything that resembles maintenance or repair!So let me get this straight: as EV design and manufacture technology, and as battery technology, improves over time, the early adopters will suffer from having older and ever-rapidly outdated cars that as a result have lower resale value than they thought.And it's the world's obligation to brush their tears away and give them money back as they realize the horrible mistake they made, the mistake made out of some strong desire to signal their virtue, the mistake they could have avoided by--you know--calmly considering the facts up front?Really? It's Tesla's obligation here?If Tesla continued to manufacture the Model 3 (for example) the same way it did originally when the Model 3 was introduced, Tesla would not have been able to lower prices. And they wouldn't have. But they invested heavily in engineering in order to bring prices down--and now the snowflakes are crying in their cereal that the world didn't accommodate their unicorn dreams and wishes and wants and desires.Curse the real world! How dare it interfere with those unicorn wishes!
  • Canam23 I live in southwest France and I am always surprised at how many Teslas I see on the road here. Mind you, I live in a town of 50k people, not a big city so it does seem unusual. On the other hand I also see a lot of PT Cruisers here (with diesel engines) so there's that...

  • Bd2 I hope they are more successful with Hyundai. Quality and ATPs only stand to improve with solid union support.
