2023 Jaguar F-Pace Safety and Reliability

Neither the NHTSA nor IIHS has conducted a safety review of the Jaguar F-Pace. This is a common occurrence for imported cars in this segment due to the excessive costs that are attached to them. While not relevant to the U.S. market, the 2017 generation, which has a structure that is largely unchanged to the current model, was able to score a five-star rating from the Euro NCAP.

The level of safety added to the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace range is impressive. The base P250 ships standard with a comprehensive airbag consignment that covers the driver, passenger, and side areas with a full-length side window curtain airbag to cover the rest of the cabin. Driver assistance is provided by emergency braking, blind-spot assist, cruise control with a speed limiter, a driver condition monitor, lane keep assist, and a rear traffic monitor. For those pesky parking spaces, front and rear sensors with a backup camera come as a handy inclusion. For $700, you can enhance this with a 3D surround-view camera feature.

General safety on the S trim models is in line with the base specification, but driver assists are more comprehensive with traffic sign recognition and an adaptive speed limiter. You also have access to the $900 Park Assist Pack, and $1,350 Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist Option.

While there are no recalls for the 2023 models at the time of writing, 2022 F-Pace models were recalled three times for issues pertaining to missing audio safety features, seatbelt pretensioner problems, and improperly illuminated rear turn signals. A notice was also issued for the 2021 range relating to a seatbelt automatic locking retractor malfunction. These may deactivate early and could impede the child restraint system's ability to operate effectively.

Included as standard on all models is the Jaguar EliteCare package that adds a limited and powertrain warranty, roadside assistance, and complimentary maintenance covering five years or 60,000 miles. A six-year/unlimited warranty corrosion further adds peace of mind.
