The long bonnet, fender vents and short overhangs in the F-pace’s design reflect Jaguar DNA.

The F-Pace’s gentle creases give it just the right amount of muscle.

The SUV made its international debut at the Frankfurt motor show last year before being displayed at the Auto Expo earlier this year.

The F-Pace is Jaguar’s first foray into the SUV/crossover segment and the third model in the company’s line-up to use an aluminium intensive architecture.

Internationally, the F-Pace is powered by a choice of petrol and diesel engines though for India we are expected to get a 2.0-litre diesel alongside a larger 3.0-litre diesel V6 motor.

For India, both engines will come paired to an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard.

The front of the car has all the beef, with a large grille and air dams, but is instantly recognisable as a Jaguar.

The design cues borrowed from the F-Type are instantly recognisable from the tail-lamps to the roofline.

The F-Pace has a class-leading ground clearance of 213mm, but still looks low to the ground.

The silhouette design and rear spoiler lend the F-Pace sportscar-like aerodynamics.

The boot offers a massive 650-litre capacity.

The interior is simple and well appointed with the use of leather and plastic that feel top notch.

Jaguar InControl Touch infotainment system is standard equipment.

The cabin also features typical Jaguar design cues like the gear lever that rises up.

Rear bench is roomy with certain variants getting the option of a reclining seat back as well.
