The Jaguar sports crossover combines, like no other, performance, design and versatility. To ensure that each system works perfectly even under the most extreme conditions, the new F-PACE has been subjected to particularly rigorous tests.

“We developed the F-PACE to offer the comfort, handling and refinement required of a Jaguar, but also exceptional skills and control on all surfaces and in all weathers. We have not only paid obsessive attention to the design of each component but we have also tested the F-PACE under the most difficult conditions to be sure to go beyond the expectations of our customers everywhere. " Andrew Whyman, Vehicle Program Director, Jaguar F-PACE

At the Jaguar Land Rover test center in Arjeplog, in northern Sweden, the average temperature rarely exceeds -15 ° C in winter and can often drop to -40 ° C. Created specifically for the manufacturer, the 60km of circuits, mountain coasts, slopes, straight lines with mixed grip and all-terrain zones allow optimizing the calibration of all-wheel drive systems, dynamic stability control and technologies like Jaguar's ASPC. The work done here enables F-PACE to offer the driving pleasure and agility essential to Jaguar's DNA.

In Dubai, the temperature can exceed 50 ° C in the shade. When the vehicles remain outside in the sun, the temperature in the passenger compartment sometimes reaches 70 ° C. So it's a great place to make sure everything from air conditioning to the touchscreen of the infotainment system works perfectly in extreme heat and humidity conditions.

This part of the test allows maximum use of the cooling systems under high temperature conditions.

F-PACE was also tested on gravelled mountain passes for the first time. It is this attention to detail that will allow Jaguar's first sports crossover to become the benchmark in its segment.
