Used Jaguar F-Pace for sale: everything you need to know

Jaguar arrived at the SUV party a little later than most when the F-Pace arrived in 2016, but the brand made sure to do things right, and new or used the F-Pace is an appealing if slightly overlooked choice. Despite the taller body than Jaguars of old, the British firm really has managed to pack its traditional qualities into its SUV.

That means understated style, a cosseting cabin, plenty of equipment, and a fluid mix of ride and handling that’s up there with the best. Some of its rivals are more affordable to run, but the F-Pace counters by being pretty good value as a used buy, and the more recent introduction of a plug-in hybrid can keep costs down for city-based buyers too. Read on to find out more.

Should you buy a Jaguar F-Pace?

Factors that might tempt you away from the more obvious German alternatives and into the Jaguar F-Pace include its handsome styling, understated image, fine handling, and generous equipment levels. It’s good value too, especially as a used buy - Jaguar’s pricing has typically undercut that of similarly-sized cars, and the F-Pace is far from immune to depreciation.

It’s a broad model range too, starting with workaday diesel variants and topping out with the brawny F-Pace SVR, with a five-litre supercharged V8 engine that it shares with the F-Type sports car, among other things. The F-Pace though is probably at its best somewhere in the middle of those two extremes, with punchy diesel power and a ride and handling balance that few rivals can match.

The F-Pace’s cabin is understated, and undoubtedly at its best from 2021 onwards, when the range was refreshed and, among other things, Jaguar improved both cabin quality and the car’s dashboard design and infotainment system - later models have a larger and more responsive touchscreen and a tidier centre console design. The interior itself is spacious, has a good driving position (with that appealing raised seating position of most SUVs), and a usefully-sized boot of more than 600 litres with the seats in place.

F-Pace alternatives include the German trio of the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Mercedes-Benz GLC - all very talented cars in their own right, though perhaps a bit obvious for someone considering a Jaguar. Less obvious is the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which has a more boisterous, agile feel than the Jaguar, while the Range Rover Velar is an even more stylish alternative to the Jag. As a more left-field choice, also consider the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace, which itself is excellent value right now thanks to fairly heavy depreciation on electric cars.

What’s the best used Jaguar F-Pace model to buy?

Post-2021 F-Paces are the ones to go for, which is when Jaguar gave the model a refresh, revising the engine lineup and improving the car’s features and quality. Earlier models are still good to drive though, and whichever year of F-Pace you go for, we’d suggest looking at one of the diesel engines - they’re cheaper to buy than the plug-in hybrid and have economy figures nudging 40mpg. The six-cylinder diesel best suits the car’s upmarket nature, but the four-cylinder engines still do the job.

Used Jaguar F-Pace fuel economy and performance

• Jaguar F-Pace D165: The entry-level diesel engine is a 2-litre turbocharged unit making 163PS, with an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive as standard. 0-62mph comes up in 10.2 seconds and Jaguar claims up to 45.4mpg on average.
• Jaguar F-Pace D200: With a boost in power to 201PS, the D200’s diesel gets you from 0-62mph in 7.7 seconds, while economy lags the D165 only slightly, at 43.6mpg combined.
• Jaguar F-Pace D300: D300 models trade four cylinders for a turbocharged V6 diesel, making 300PS and getting to 62mph in 6.2 seconds. Economy takes a larger drop than between the two four-cylinder cars, but 37.4mpg still isn’t bad.
• Jaguar F-Pace P250: The turbocharged four-cylinder petrol of the P250 makes 250PS and like its diesel counterparts, an automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive are both standard. 0-62mph takes 6.8 seconds, and economy is up to 30.8mpg.
• Jaguar F-Pace P400e: With plug-in hybrid assistance, the 2-litre petrol makes a combined 404PS, covering the 0-62mph sprint in 5.3 seconds but promising a relatively unremarkable 29.5mpg in regular hybrid mode.
• Jaguar F-Pace SVR: No mere four- or six-cylinder engine here, but a 5-litre supercharged petrol V8, making 550PS and ticking off the 0-62mph run in only 4.3 seconds. If you have to ask, economy is only 23.1mpg.

What used Jaguar F-Pace trim levels are available?

• The Jaguar F-Pace has a generous level of standard equipment including LED headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, power-folding door mirrors, artificial eather seats, an 11.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), a heated steering wheel and front seats (with eight-way electric adjustment), 3D surround camera, lane-keep assist and traffic sign recognition with adaptive speed limiter.
• The Jaguar F-Pace S steps up to genuine leather seats with 12-way electric adjustment, and an electric tailgate.
• The Jaguar F-Pace SE gets even more seat adjustment with 16-way seats in the front, a digital driver display, blind spot assist, 20-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and animated indicators.
• The Jaguar F-Pace HSE is the luxury model of the range, sitting on 21-inch alloy wheels, and geeting a premium audio system, and a driver assist pack (with adaptive cruise control, blind spot assist and rear collision monitor).
• The Jaguar F-Pace R-Dynamic is more of an addition to any of the models above rather than a trim line on its own, and includes a body kit and a distinctive R-Dynamic brand leather steering wheel.
• The Jaguar F-Pace SVR is the range-topper and most clearly defined by its supercharged V8 engine. Other equipment includes 21-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, quad tail pipes, a bespoke steering wheel, and 14-way heated and cooled front Performance seats, finished in part leather.

Used Jaguar F-Pace dimensions and boot size

The Jaguar F-Pace's dimensions are:

• Length: 4747mm
• Width: 2175mm
• Height: 1664mm
• Ground clearance: 213mm

The Jaguar F-Pace's boot size is:

• 613-litres

Used Jaguar F-Pace road tax

The F-Pace went on sale back in 2016, so around a year’s worth of production is subject to VED (road tax) based on CO2 emissions. With some models having relatively low CO2 emissions (the diesels), there’s a tax saving to be made, the most efficient models attracting a bill of £255. Post April 2017, this jumps up to a flat fee of £190, but with a surcharge applied to all cars costing more than £40,000 brand new (which means most of the F-Pace range), your actual bill will be £600 a year. Hybrid models get only a £10 saving - if you want to pay even less, consider the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace.

How much is it to insure a Jaguar F-Pace?

The cheapest F-Pace to insure - an early Prestige model with the 165PS diesel engine - starts in group 23 out of 50, while at the other end of the scale is the F-Pace SVR, with a maximum group 50 rating. These figures are about what you’d expect from a premium SUV, with many rivals having similar ratings.
