90th Anniversary Edition for ageing Jaguar F-Pace
INDIAN-OWNED Jaguar is celebrating its 90th year with an Anniversary Edition of its ageing F-Pace SUV.
Based upon the F-Pace R-Dynamic SE, the limited-run variant is available in petrol (from $91,915 plus on-road costs) or plug-in hybrid format (from $115,882 + ORC) with both utilising Jaguar Land Rover’s Ingenium 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine – the latter with an electric motor and 19.2kWh battery.
It is the first time Jaguar has sold the PHEV version of its F-Pace in Australia.
Priced at approximately $4000 more than the donor vehicle, the Jaguar F-Pace 90th Anniversary Edition is characterised by subtle badging, R-Dynamic exterior cues, 21-inch gloss black alloy wheels, Configurable and Adaptive Dynamics (variable damping), privacy glass, a sliding panoramic roof, glass black roof rails, head-up display, and 360-degree camera system.
Further additions include sport seats with contrast stitching, ebony headlining, and aluminium interior garnishing.
The plug-in hybrid (or P400e) driveline option offers F-Pace customers up to 69km (NEDC) all-electric driving range and DC fast charging times of just 30 minutes against the 0-80 per cent yardstick. The unit outputs an impressive 297kW and 640Nm to enable a 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 5.3 seconds.
Jaguar says the P400e “offers excellent CO2 emissions and fuel consumption”, listing the pair at 51 grams per kilometre and 2.2 litres per 100km respectively on the NEDC cycle.
“(The) F-Pace has given new clients to the brand a choice of models including the efficient plug-in electric hybrid. With its inherent quality and design leadership, it has delighted our clients globally,” said Jaguar managing director Rawdon Glover.
“As we prepare for an all-electric future, the 90th Anniversary Edition is a fitting tribute to nine decades of pioneering design, performance, and innovation.”
Sales of the F-Pace, which was first released in 2016, have slowed against segment rivals with year-to-date figures showing just 152 units sold nationally to the end of April.
The SUV Large over $80K segment is currently dominated by the BMW X5 (906 unit sales YTD), Land Rover Defender (830), and Kia EV6 (721).
