The 2026 Jaguar F-Pace is positioned in the compact luxury SUV segment, offering five seats and cargo capacity for everyday use or weekend trips. It is often compared to models like the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, and Audi Q5. This model year carries over the design and platform from the 2021 refresh, with Jaguar continuing production for 2026. The standard powertrain consists of a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine producing 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive on all variants.
The F-Pace includes the Pivi Pro infotainment system centered on an 11.4-inch curved touchscreen, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, Amazon Alexa voice control, SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, wireless device charging, and a 13-speaker Meridian audio system. New for 2026 are standard features such as a 360-degree surround-view camera and semi-automated parking assist. Additional connectivity comes via the Jaguar app for remote monitoring and preconditioning, over-the-air software updates, and available subscriptions including the Online Pack for services like real-time traffic updates and dynamic routing.
