2021 Jaguar F-Pace vs 2020

What's the difference?

Jaguar has announced that by 2025 it will only make and sell electric vehicles. That’s less than four years away and means the F-Pace you’re thinking about buying could be the last Jaguar with an actual engine that you ever own. Heck, it could be the last car with an engine you ever own.

Let’s help you pick the right one then, because Jaguar’s just called last drinks.

In the 21st century Jaguar has finally mastered the art of recognising it’s star-studded back catalogue without getting stuck in the past. And if you need evidence of that, look no further than the subject of this review. 

Emerging in 2016, the F-Pace emphatically moved beyond the famously British maker’s walnut and leather heritage that had held it in a design and engineering time warp for so long.

Yes, the F-Type sports car broke a lot of that ice, but this was an SUV. Cool, contemporary, and aimed at young families, rather than ‘men of a certain age.’ 

As the name implies, the R Sport 25T leans on sporty looks and driver engagement to go along with the five-seater’s day-to-day practicality promise. So, how does this ‘around $80K’ machine, with the growling cat on the grille measure up?
