More performance Jaguars on the prowl: New F-Pace 300 Sport, Chequered Flag editions for SA

[FearLess]

Jaguar has announced two distinctive special edition models for its F-Pace; the performance-focused 300 SPORT and the feature-packed Chequered Flag.

300 SPORT Special Edition

Powered to perform, the 300 SPORT comes with a choice of two 221kW AWD engine options; the 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol and 3.0-litre V6 diesel. The former has 400Nm of torque and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 233km/h, while the latter offers 700Nm of torque and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.4 seconds with a top speed of 241km/h.

The 300 SPORT is identified by distinctive Dark Satin Grey exterior detailing.

Starting with the front grille surround, this extends to the side window surrounds, side vents, mirror caps and door finishers, as well as the rear valance. With 300 SPORT badges on the front grille and rear tailgate, it is available exclusively in Yulong White, Indus Silver and Santorini Black.

Step inside and the yellow contrast stitching on the instrument panel, centre console and leather seats provide a unique feel to the interior. The 300 SPORT logo is badged on the treadplates, carpet mats and steering wheel and is also embossed on the front headrests.

Comfort and convenience features include Touch Pro Navigation with Connect Pro that enables the driver to control essential features remotely. Jaguar’s 12.3" Interactive Driver Display provides a customisable and intuitive driver interface. A Meridian sound system and 14-way electric front seats also form part of the standard specification.

Customers buying the 300 SPORT will have the option of upgrading the standard specification with a number of additional features. This includes 18-way seats, with the option of heated front and rear seats. Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Dynamics are some of the other features also available.

A range of 2.0-litre AWD powertrains are available with the Chequered Flag, beginning with the more performance-focused 184kW 2.0-litre AWD Ingenium petrol, which powers the F-PACE from 0-100km/h in 7.0 seconds and to a top speed of 217km/h. Two 2.0-litre diesel options offer either 132kW or 177kW, both also with all-wheel drive.
