Jaguar F-PACE interior

Style

Before the 2021 update of the F-Pace its interior was a fair way off the best (German) SUV competition. Both the fit-and-finish and cabin technology wasn’t up to the standard you’d expect for the money.

Now, though, things are different. The first thing you’ll notice is how much nicer everything looks – there’s a greater variety of trim and upholstery colours to lighten it up, and you’d be forgiven for thinking even the base model was a more expensive car than it was. The seats, which can be both heated and cooled and are electric even on base models – are nice and comfy, too.

Then you poke and prod it and feel how plush it seems now. Aside from one or two cheaper bits, it all feels soft to the touch, while the new wheel design and upgraded centre console are much nicer. All models – even the entry-level F-Pace – get a good level of standard equipment for the money, too, although as is the case with most of these posh SUVs you can still spend big by loading up the options list.
