WATCH: Jaguar releases their new big cat - Express.co.uk

Now we’re on the brink of the arrival of the F-Pace: Jaguar’s first foray into the crossover market. Some 250,000 worldwide XF sales later, this newest version has a lot riding on its shoulders, more so because this is the year in which Jaguar celebrates its 80th anniversary. More people than ever are downsizing to smaller cars such as the XE, while many family buyers are flocking towards large 4x4s. As such the XF is increasingly under pressure in the sales stakes. Having won 145 awards during its lifetime (more than any other Jaguar) the outgoing model also accounted for 18 per cent of its market share despite its age, showing that its appeal has remained strong throughout its life even in the face of some... Overall we like the latest shape to emerge from Jaguar design chief Ian Callum’s pen although the twin-dip LED rear lights could be a little more distinctive. With a clear family link to the F-Type their overall shape looks a bit too like those on an Audi A4 for our liking. Unsurprisingly the most sales will be dominated by the three turbo-diesel engines: Jaguar’s new 2. 0-litre Ingenium powerplant in 163bhp and 180bhp forms as already seen in the XE and a 3. 0-litre boasting 300bhp.
