The Jaguar F-Pace is a relatively new nameplate, debuting in 2016. As a midsize premium SUV, it offered a luxurious cabin experience, plenty of space, and good driving dynamics.
Jaguar is known for its luxurious sports cars, hence why the brand was initially extremely apprehensive about the idea of making SUVs and crossovers. This changed in 2016 when the brand released the F-Pace to rival models like the Volvo XC60, Porsche Macan, and BMW X3.
Since its release, the F-Pace has become Jaguar’s best-selling model.
If you’re considering a Jaguar F-Pace, you must understand the different Jaguar F-Pace year models, facelifts, and special editions to know which model years are worth considering. It also pays to know the Jaguar F-Pace model years to avoid.
For this list, we’ll concentrate on the Jaguar F-Pace models with gasoline engines because these models are more performance-oriented than their diesel counterparts.
The Latest and Greatest: 2025 Jaguar F-Pace SVR 575 Edition
The “575” in the 2025 Jaguar F-Pace SVR 575 Edition name comes from the horsepower number of its supercharged 5-liter V8, making it the most powerful production-made F-Pace.
It comes with enhanced suspension, braking, and aerodynamic accessories like a long roof spoiler and rear diffuser. The 575’s Variable Valve Active Exhaust System also makes the supercharged V8 sound like a muscle car.
The 575 Edition also sports a unique look with special badges and exclusive wheel designs. It also has a distinctive interior trim with black ‘R’ SVR badges in locations like the steering wheel and shifter.
The F-Pace SVR 575 is essentially an SUV that’s ready to be driven on the track. That said, it also has the luxurious amenities that you can expect from an F-Pace. The 575 edition also sports a Meridian Surround Sound System.
If you’re a fan of the F-Pace, then SVR 575 is the pinnacle, rivaling other V8 SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Porsche Cayenne GTS.

World Car of the Year: 2017 Jaguar F-Pace
After the F-Pace’s initial release in 2016, the Jaguar F-Pace reviews were very good. It was even awarded the prestigious World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year titles at the 2017 World Car Awards.
The best year for the Jaguar F-Pace might be 2017 because the brand has fixed its initial issues. The 2017 model also has slight improvements over the model from the previous year.
Like many first-generation models, the 2016 F-Pace had minor issues. Hence, the first year of any new vehicle or vehicle generation is generally prone to issues.
One issue in manufacturing caused workers to install the incorrect driveshaft in early F-Pace models. The rear spring isolators were also reported to fail prematurely.

Refreshed and Reliable Luxury: 2021 Jaguar F-Pace
In 2021, Jaguar released a facelift for the F-Pace. At a glance, it seems the F-Pace retained its modern design language with its distinctive headlights and narrow, J-shaped daytime running lights (DRL).
Look closer and you’ll notice that the F-Pace has gotten a more aggressive styling. It comes with a longer, sloped hood, larger front grill, and redesigned tail lights.
Its design is inspired by Jaguar’s I-Pace, the brand’s electric crossover SUV. Its slim headlights have also gone from having a single J-shaped daytime running light to one that has two J-shaped DRLs side-by-side.
The 2021 F-Pace is only available with all-wheel drive and an automatic 8-speed ZF transmission. It has several engine options, including a standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 246 horsepower. Another is a turbocharged-and-supercharged 3.0-liter inline-six that makes either 335 or 395 horsepower.
The 2021 F-Pace also has a hybrid, diesel, plug-in hybrid option.
F-Pace owners in forums report that the second-generation model made from 2021 onwards has been quite dependable. Any minor issues that the owners have encountered were dealt with by the dealer, as Jaguar seems to have very dependable customer service. That said, this might not be consistent across all dealerships.
The only notable issue with F-Pace models after the 2021 refresh was with the infotainment system, as they can occasionally have glitches.
