As far as the design is concerned the front end retains the theme of the XF, with a collection of mesh grilles and LED underlining on the headlamps it’s all arranged on a taller plane. The side view is sleeker than many SUVs in its class, long vents pierce the front fenders, and the side glass tapers steeply as it falls from the front doors to the small third-light windows.

A turbo diesel 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine will also be offered in the F-Pace. Part of a new family of British-made four cylinder power house, the diesel will put out 180 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque.

The F-Pace has a long list of safety hardware and technology. In addition to the usual airbags and stability control, the F-Pace has a low speed traction-control system that can launch it more smoothly on ice or slippery surfaces by balancing brake and throttle. It also has forward collision warnings with automatic braking and pedestrian detection, all made possible by a set of stereo cameras set behind the windshield. On the options list: adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go control; lane-keeping and lane-departure warning systems; a laser-projected head-up display; blind-spot monitors with cross-traffic alerts; and automatic parking assistance.
