​With six airbags, lane departure warning and auto braking including pedestrian detection all standard-fit, the Jaguar offers a strong level of safety kit. This certainly helped the F-Pace during Euro NCAP’s extensive crash testing, as Jaguar’s mid-size SUV received the maximum five-star rating back in 2017. 

In addition to its tough SUV body and other safety features, every F-Pace is equipped with Emergency Brake Assist and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). The latter can detect pedestrians – first providing a warning before automatically applying the brakes to prevent impact. Cruise control with a speed limiter is also available, as is lane departure warning.

As an ownership proposition, the Jaguar F-Pace managed to come in 50th place on our best cars to own list, which is based on owners’ feedback from our most recent Driver Power customer satisfaction survey. Jaguar also performed well in this year’s survey, and finished 10th (out of 32 brands) in the best car manufacturer rankings – well ahead of key rivals AudiBMW and Mercedes.

Warranty

As with many premium rivals, the Jaguar F-Pace comes with a three-year, unlimited mileage warranty. With every new car you also benefit from three years roadside assistance, which will prove handy if anything does go wrong. Jaguar also offers owners the option to extend the car's warranty by a year or two for an additional cost, and this can also include MoT insurance to ensure the car passes its first test.

Servicing

Jaguar offers a range of options to make paying for servicing costs a little easier. You can either pay nothing on the day and spread payments over a month, or select a payment spread plan.
