Thank you to Enterprise (at Leigh near Greater Manchester) for allowing us to blog and review one of their latest fleet additions – the Jaguar SUV.
The Jaguar F-Pace is a good luxury 4×4 option for those customers looking into the Discovery Sport or Range Rover Sport or the Mercedes GLE and BMW X5.
Having been launched just over 3 years ago, the F-Pace has been a huge part of Jag’s future, as their traditional model of saloon/executive-style vehicles has become less popular, mainly due to driving behaviours and purchasing requirements.
Across the UK, the desire for an SUV has only increased, to the extent that this is one of the main, if not the leading, choice of vehicle types in the UK. With a higher driving position, ample space for the family, technologically sound and aesthetically pleasing, this ticks many of the boxes for most households.
The truth is that many families need a car which does everything but looks good at the same time; a large estate or MPV just doesn’t do this. In an effort to be part of this change, Jaguar had to add to their XE, XF and XJ range, which were previously a mainstay for many directors and company car drivers. In adding the F-Pace and then the smaller E-Pace, they opened up their product to a much wider demographic. T
his has helped removed some of the “old man” label which has stuck to the brand. With a bigger 7-seat option being discussed you can see that Jaguar agree an SUV is the future of the car industry in the UK.
