CUTTING-EDGE GAS TECHNOLOGY Jaguar Land Rover's family of Ingenium engines have the technologies that deliver exceptional performance, efficiency and refinement while meeting the most stringent global emissions regulations. The new gas units deploy twin scroll turbos which reduce lag and optimize power delivery(3). Continuously Variable Valve Lift technology improves air delivery to both engines. The new 247HP powertrain features electrohydraulic valve control for unrivalled timing tuneability in a variety of driving conditions. This patented technology provides fully variable control of the intake valve lift to enhance efficiency, power and torque delivery across the rev range. In addition, a new 200bar direct injection system, which features centrally mounted injectors with an optimized spray pattern helps maximize fuel combustion, further improves power delivery and reduces emissions. In a first for Jaguar, the exhaust manifold on the new 2.0-liter gas Ingenium four-cylinder is also integrated with the cylinder head casting. Passing coolant through the manifold considerably reduces warm-up times, when engines are at their least efficient, improving fuel consumption and reducing emissions(3). GREATER COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE Extending customer choice is a hallmark of the 2018 model year enhancements for all three vehicles alongside comfort and convenience enhancements. The 20-way adjustable front seats in the F-PACE Portfolio and XF Portfolio limited edition are available with powered height headrest adjustment with manual side wing supports. A revised paint palette for all three vehicles aligns the color names with those offered throughout the Jaguar Land Rover family, simplifying the customer ordering experience. Jaguar takes pride in the driver assistance technologies available in its vehicles and F-PACE, XF and XE feature a pair of new technologies available for the 2018 model year(1). Forward Traffic Detection, part of the optional surround camera system, is designed to assist when forward visibility is restricted. Using a discreet forward-facing camera in the grille and corner radars, the system detects items crossing the path of the vehicle and provides a visual warning on the central screen when a potential hazard is detected(1). Forward Vehicle Guidance, also fitted as part of the available Surround Camera System, helps drivers direct the vehicle when completing low speed maneuvers. Working in conjunction with the front parking sensors the system provides a visual representation of the vehicle overlaid with wheel projections showing the alignment of the steering. Drivers can see the parking distance reading on the central screen, taking the stress out of tight maneuvers(1). On XE and XF models, available Blind Spot Assist (BSA) enhances the Jaguar Land Rover Blind Spot Monitor system by using the collision warning system in tandem with the Electric Power Steering System. BSA is designed to detect a vehicle in or approaching the blind spot when changing lanes and to apply a gentle steering force to keep the vehicle in its lane(1). World's first in-car cashless payment Jaguar XE, XF and F-PACE owners in the U.K. can now use the touchscreen of their car to pay for fuel at Shell service stations with a new in-car cashless payment system developed in conjunction with Shell and Jaguar Land Rover. Rather than using a card at the pump, or walking into the service station, owners who install the Shell App on their mobile device can simply drive up to any pump at a Shell service station and use their vehicle's touchscreen to select how much fuel they require and pay using PayPal or Apple Pay®. Android Pay™ will be added later in 2017. Once the driver has filled up, an electronic receipt will be displayed on the touchscreen, so customers can leave the pump confident of having paid. A receipt will also be sent directly from the pump to the driver's email address so it can be added to accounting or expenses software. Cashless Payment connectivity with Shell is available in the U.K. from mid-February 2017 and will roll out globally later this year.

Ingenium engines The focus of the 2018 model year enhancements is on broadening Jaguar Land Rover's range of models with a powertrain to suite every need. The advanced 180HP 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel Ingenium engine and pair of supercharged 3.0-liter gas V-6s are now joined by a second Ingenium powertrain a 247HP 2.0-liter gas four-cylinder engine. In the U.S., the new 247HP 2.0-liter gas four-cylinder Ingenium engine in the Jaguar F-PACE comes standard with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The new gas Ingenium engine has a single twin-scroll turbo that produces 269 ft.-lb. of torque from only 1,200rpm. The smooth and responsive gas engine powers the F-PACE from 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds(4). Choice, comfort and convenience Interior changes put the emphasis on enhanced choice, comfort and convenience. A new Light Oyster / Ebony interior option gives the premium cabin a purposeful appearance and all Prestige models now feature the Sport steering wheel as standard. A limited volume Portfolio model, powered with the 340HP V6 stands as the most elegant and sophisticated version of the F-PACE.
