Ian Callum, director of design, Jaguar, said: “We received such an overwhelmingly positive response to the C-X17 concept car last year that we just had to make it a reality.

The Jaguar F-Pace, inspired by the F-Type, represents a perfectly judged balance of performance, style and practicality. It offers a unique combination of Jaguar sports car inspired exterior design, fused beautifully with a thoroughly practical and spacious luxury interior. The F-Pace is our family sports car.

Andy Goss, Jaguar Land Rover global sales director said: “The F-Pace has now begun its engineering and development testing programme ahead of the new model going on sale in 2016.”

The F-Pace will be manufactured in Solihull, and is likely to bear a close resemblance to the concept car launched last year.

Jaguar South Africa confirmed that the all-new F-PACE will go on sale locally. Further details will be revealed later this year.
