In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
The F-Pace is classic Jaguar, but in SUV form. It’s suave, sophisticated, luxurious and really, really good to drive. If you need an SUV, but you don’t want to abandon those sports car dreams, then the F-Pace is right up there with Porsche’s excellent Macan as a vehicle to put a wide smile on your face. Recent updates mean it’s better than ever, and it remains spacious and well-equipped too.
The Jaguar F-Pace is a luxury car that rivals the likes of the BMW X5, Audi Q5 and Alfa Romeo Stelvio, so leasing rates will reflect its position in the market. But thanks to Select Car Leasing’s market-leading links to the automotive industry, we can offer some of Britain’s most competitive rates and special offers.

There are plenty of luxurious SUVs on the market today, and in many ways the F-Pace mirrors what the competition can offer. It’s got a great interior, with a brilliant new infotainment system that was introduced in 2020. There’s space in the back for three adults, and a spacious boot to match. Four-wheel drive means it can do some light off-roading if required. But what really makes the F-Pace stand out is the way it handles, and the way it feels. Jaguar has managed to inject its SUV with the same kind of feeling you get from its sports cars, and the engines have performance to match, with efficient diesels, punchy petrols and a plug-in hybrid model too, which can do up to 33 miles per charge on electric power alone. Not many rivals can match that kind of appeal.
The F-Pace was tested by Euro NCAP, an independent safety organisation, in 2017, and was awarded the maximum five-star score. Jaguar has continued to develop the car since then, and it now boasts an impressive array of standard safety features, with even more available on higher trim levels or as options. On the practicality front, there’s plenty of space for three tall adults in the rear seats, although that’s impeded a bit if you have the optional panoramic sunroof. The boot is a very good size, with 650 litres of space, and the rear seats fold down in a 20/40/20 split for extra-large loads. There is a bit less space in the plug-in hybrid model though, thanks to its bulky battery.
In common with the rest of its models, Jaguar offers lots of trim choices in the F-Pace. Once you’ve decided which engine you want, you can pick from four categories, two of which also have sub-trims. All are well-specced, but the higher up you go, the more goodies are included. There’s the standard F-Pace, in base and S trim. Then there’s the sporty-looking R-Dynamic range, in S, SE and HSE trims, each with more features than the last. The R-Dynamic Black model has black styling elements inside and out (and lots of standard features), while the top-spec SVR model has aggressive looks, loads of standard equipment and lots of power from its V8 engine to match.
I contact select car leasing after I had seen a particular deal that looked to be in stock and the price was competitive. I was able to find out that the car was indeed in stock (always worth checking) in particular colours and in the country too which meant we were able to take delivery of the car in around 3 weeks which was great as we needed it as soon as possible.
Ross Hamilton, the agent who looked after the whole process was incredibly professional and communicated really well to ensure that I was kept up to date. Even when my delivery was delayed due to the car having some damage, he ensured that I was kept informed, and helped me to get Mercedes to supply a hire car.
First class from start to finish. Adam understood our requirements and worked hard to accommodate in a very difficult climate. Highly recommended!
