Road Test of the Year 2016: Jaguar F-Pace R Sport Review



For purists, the fact Jaguar dared to dabble in SUVs was always going to be a step too far. The British firm's DNA in the fields of performance and racing combine with the compromised handling and practicalities of a 4x4 like oil and water, they say.

But while those purists will probably never get over the fact Jaguar has muddied the waters of its brand with a machine like the F-Pace, the accountants at parent firm Tata will be turning a blind eye. You see, this is the car Jaguar needs right now: it's a new lease of life for a firm that's faltered and it's a path to a whole new customer base for a brand that desperately needs it.
