Electric Technology Car News: What other surprises can the new Jaguar bring us with its all-round performance comparable to Land Rover?

The 2018 Jaguar F-PACE was officially launched last month. The new car has not undergone many changes in appearance and interior. The main change is that the 2.0T model is equipped with a new 4-cylinder Ingenium gasoline engine, abandoning the original 2.0T engine from Ford, and the power parameters have been improved. At the same time, it also makes up for the shortcoming of the original old 2.0T model without four-wheel drive. Now, four of the five models in the series are equipped with four-wheel drive systems.

The F-PACE has a very unique shape. Whether it is on the road or parked in the basement, it has a very high rate of turning heads. As an SUV model, the F-PACE's exterior design is definitely very unique. The air intake grilles on both sides below the bumper are no longer sealed, which can help dissipate heat. There are also air guide grooves on the sides to optimize aerodynamics. The 19-inch wheels are equipped with Pirelli P Zero series sports tires with a specification of 255/55 R19. The wheels can also be optionally equipped with 20 or 22 inches.

The side profile of the God of Cars looks like a taller GT sports car, and the streamlined design can also optimize aerodynamics. Keyless entry is also an optional configuration for the entire series, and the R-Sport nameplate is affixed to the grille of the front fender, which is also a symbol of the identity of this model. The angular rear end is highly recognizable, and the lazy look of the taillights seems to reveal disdain for the following cars.

In terms of interior, the center console of this car is more practical, so there are not too many fancy designs, and the large area of ​​leather covers it to create a good sense of class. The driving function selection button can see some shadows of Land Rover, and the basswood fine-grain trim above is an optional part.

The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel is now standard on the 2.0T top-end model, but it costs 7,000 yuan to install on the old model. The InControl system is quite functional, but it takes some time to get used to for the first time, and it is a bit outdated without CarPlay.

In terms of power, the new 2.0T Ingenium engine has a maximum power of 250 horsepower and a peak torque of 365 Nm. Compared with the Ford 2.0T engine in the old model, it has 9 more horsepower and 25 more Nm of torque. The maximum torque speed has also been advanced from the original 1750rpm to 1300rpm, so in theory, the low-torque performance will be better. The engine is still matched with the 8-speed manual transmission from ZF.

In general, the Jaguar F-PACE is a car with a distinct personality and characteristics: it has an extremely eye-catching shape, excellent handling and a good sense of luxury. Although there are many configuration options, even if you don't choose them, it will not have much impact on your daily use.

The launch of the 2018 model is mainly about replacing Jaguar's own engine, which can also avoid being criticized by friends who know a little about cars for driving a Jaguar with a Ford engine. In addition, the popularity of the four-wheel drive system is also popular, especially for users in the north. After all, the safety of rear-wheel drive in rain, snow or muddy environments is weaker than that of four-wheel drive.
