However, those who require even further exclusivity can opt for the Black Pack R-Sport option which comes with a wide range of optional features. With all the additional goodies, the vehicle's price stands at RM704,624.

The list of standard features in the F-Pace Prestige are as follows:

Only one engine choice is available; a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol engine pinched from the F-Type sports car which produces 340PS, and paired to the engine is an eight-speed electronic automatic transmission. This allows the F-Pace to accelerate from 0-100kph in 5.8 seconds all the way to an electronically-limited top speed of 250kph.

Measuring at 4,731mm long with a 2,874mm wheelbase, the F-Pace, which is fully imported from the UK, is built on a body structure that comprises 80 percent aluminium, making it one of the lightest vehicles in class.

Featuring a torque-on-demand all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, the F-Pace, which is offered in nine exterior colours, benefits from Jaguar Care which comprises a 5-year warranty and free service. Besides that, the vehicle also gets three years of Jaguar Roadside Assistance.

Managing Director of JLR Malaysia Datuk Aishah Ahmad notes, “We now have an amazing new product that will meet the needs of discerning customers who like the practicality of an SUV, the drivability of a sports car and the prestige of an iconic marque. Compared to other luxury SUVs in its segment, the all-new F-Pace offers a better proposition all-round – better drive, better looks and better technology.”
