The 2021 Jaguar F-Pace gets a new mild-hybrid variant added to its range. The Jaguar F-Pace is offered in four trim levels- 250, 250 S, S 340, and R-Dynamic S 400. The 250 variants are powered by a new 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-charged engine, that puts out 243 bhp While the S 340 gets a new 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, turbocharged mill with mild-hybrid system churning out 330 bhp. Finally, the top of the line R-Dynamic S gets the same engine but it's tuned to put out 390 bhp. Just to give you an idea of the performance difference, the entry-level model clocks triple digit speeds in 6.9 seconds, while the R-Dynamic trim does it in 5.1 seconds. All engines are mated to a ZF sourced eight-speed automatic transmission as standard. The F-Pace also gets standard stuff like an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, drive modes that adjust the steering, throttle response while adaptive dampers are optional.
