Jaguar has given the F-Pace a few visual tweaks for 2021, including a revised grille, a reworked hood, and updated exterior lighting elements. The cabin receives a major upgrade in the form of Jaguar-Land Rover's new Pivi and PiviPro infotainment systems. Their graphics are projected on a large 11.4-inch curved-glass screen mounted just above the climate controls on the F-Pace's dashboard. Heated seats and a 14-speaker stereo are now standard across the lineup.
PROS Athletic chassis, powerful optional inline-six, plentiful cargo space.
CONS Stiff ride, buggy infotainment system, stingy on interior storage cubbies.
The 2021 Jaguar F-PACE comes with a revised front and rear styling, New 11.4-inch infotainment screen with updated software, New V6 engine available with 335 or 395 hp, Thoroughly redesigned interior.
PROS Powerful V6 engine delivers quick acceleration More cargo space than most rivals Handles and brakes like a sport sedan
CONS Larger wheels hurt ride comfort More road and wind noise in the cabin than competitors
PROS One of the best large SUVs to drive Great new infotainment system Keenly priced yet well equipped
CONS There are roomier SUV options Road noise on larger wheels Some fiddly switchgear
Pros Tremendously powerful six-cylinder engine Grip and handling are excellent Sleeker styling than the related X3 M
Cons Excessively stiff ride Rear headroom is a bit tight Sloping roofline compromises cargo space and visibility
Like the regular X4, the high-performance X4 M receives some subtle styling upgrades for 2022. Larger grille openings, narrower headlamps, and reworked front and rear bumpers distinguish the refreshed X4 M from last year's model. The infotainment display has grown from 10.3 to 12.3 inches. More meaningful to us driving enthusiasts is a rework of the SUV's engine to produce more torque; horsepower remains the same across both X4 M models.
Pros Rip-snorting engine, bonkers acceleration, handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.
Cons Hard-edged ride, lacks the practicality of the mechanically-similar X3 M, coupe-like styling may not be for everyone.
