Loads inside is new – seats, centre console, controls (the drive selector is no longer the rotary rise-up number), door trims, wood veneers, aluminium trim, cabin purification system, stowage bins, grab handles and even the stitching all get a makeover. But what sums up this new model best is what’s on the centre of the dashboard.
And that of course is what no luxury car can be without these days: a whopping touchscreen display. Jag’s is an 11.4-inch curved-glass HD item, housed in a magnesium alloy casing. It’s three times brighter and 48 per cent larger than the previous F-Pace offering, while also being easier to navigate, according to Jaguar. That’s thanks to simplified menus and the brand’s new PiviPro infotainment system. The configurable driver display is new, too, and able to show full-screen navigation mapping.
All this smart new infotainment can be enjoyed in a more hushed F-Pace. In what Jag claims is a segment first, the F-Pace is available with an active noise cancellation system to reduce road noise.
