Jaguar has long bucked the SUV trend, selling just sedans, coupes, and convertibles for decades. The British brand remained one of the last holdouts from this popular segment, until the introduction of the F-Pace.
Their first effort, indeed, lives up to the "pace" in its name, delivering swift acceleration and cat-like reflexes. But don't expect typical Jaguar grace; the stiff ride, cut-rate interior ambience, droning exhaust note, and inferior infotainment system combine to make the F-Pace feel more adolescent than accomplished.
