speaking in detroit, andy goss, jaguar land rover global sales director, said: “in 2015 we will celebrate jaguar’s 80th year. we have started it by announcing our first performance crossover which we consider to be the ultimate practical sports car - a car that builds on the marque’s founding ideals of grace, pace and space to become one of the most innovative jaguars we’ve ever developed. the f-pace has now begun its engineering and development testing programme ahead of the new model going on sale in 2016.”

the f-pace will be manufactured in solihull, uk.
