*TOOP Portal*: Jaguar F-Pace

The F-Pace, Jaguar’s first-ever SUV, brings the brand’s sexy styling and athletic moves to a crowded market. Powertrains include a standard 340-hp supercharged V-6 or an optional 380-hp supercharged V-6. Both have an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. A diesel will appear later. Aluminum construction promises to save weight and create a rigid structure to help back up the F-Pace’s sporting intentions. Is it an F-type on stilts? We’ll know when it hits the market in the spring of 2016.
