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.

Athletic chassis,
powerful optional inline-six,
plentiful cargo space.
