Following a spectacular regional launch in Dubai, Jaguar’s first ever sports utility vehicle (SUV) has now been rolled out in Bahrain.

Local distributor Euro Motors Jaguar Land Rover launched the new luxury F-Pace at a glittering ceremony at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain.

Present at the launch were British Ambassador Simon Martin, Euro Motors Jaguar Land Rover Managing Director Nawaf Khalid Al Zayani, VIPs, senior company officials and guests.

The F-Pace is a dynamic five-seat performance crossover offering a combination of Jaguar sports car inspired exterior design, fused with a practical and spacious luxury interior. 

Designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK, it has undergone thorough regional testing at Jaguar Land Rover’s Engineering Test Centre in Dubai.

From the bonnet bulge to the pronounced rear haunches, its powerful looks make the SUV distinctive and give it a head-turning road presence. 

The F-Pace is designed and engineered to offer the agility, responsiveness and refinement that all Jaguars are renowned for, together with unrivalled dynamics and versatility.

Developed using Jaguar’s lightweight aluminium architecture, the SUV combines purity of line, surface and proportion with F-Type-inspired features such as the powerful rear haunches, fender vents and distinctive tail light graphics.

By remaining absolutely true to the design principles, the F-Pace is immediately recognisable as a Jaguar. The bold front grille and the muscular bonnet hint at the performance potential of engines like the available V6 380PS supercharged petrol engine on the F-Pace S. Elements such as slender full-LED headlights, forged 22-inch wheels and short front overhang carry the design vision of the C-X17 concept through to production. 

Boasting Jaguar’s new infotainment system, its most advanced all-wheel drive system and a remarkable range of active safety technologies, the F-Pace makes every journey a better, more rewarding experience, it said.

Al Zayani said: “The introduction of the all-new Jaguar F-Pace is in line with our commitment to offering our loyalists the very latest in the Jaguar Land Rover line-up. As the exclusive distributor of Jaguar vehicles in Bahrain for almost three years now, we are proud to take another step, along with Jaguar, in reinforcing our commitment to our customers by providing cars with only the very best automotive technology and driving innovation.”

“The Jaguar F-Pace is a performance crossover with outstanding dynamics combining dramatic looks with everyday versatility which I am confident will resonate on an emotional level with our customers both regionally and from around the world. This vehicle has garnered a huge amount of attention globally particularly by setting a Guinness World Record for the largest ever loop-the-loop during the official unveiling in Frankfurt and we are extremely proud to be revealing the F-Pace here in Bahrain,” he added.

The F-Pace is available at the Euro Motors Jaguar Land Rover showroom in Sitra with prices starting from BD22,995 ($60,561).
