Untitled Review
Overview
The P400e S sits as the "smart" choice in the F-PACE range. It uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with a 105kW electric motor. In the UAE, this model is particularly popular for its near-silent urban operation and its high-quality interior, which was significantly upgraded in the recent refresh to align with Jaguar's move toward a "modern luxury" brand identity.
Engine and Performance
Powertrain: A 2.0L 4-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine combined with an integrated electric motor.
Combined Power: A stout 404 hp and 640 Nm of torque.
Acceleration: Despite its battery weight, it hits 0–100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds, making it quicker than many pure-petrol rivals.
Drive: Standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with an 8-speed automatic transmission that manages the hand-off between petrol and electric power seamlessly.
Real-World Range & Charging
Battery: Features a 19.2 kWh lithium-ion battery.
Electric Range: The official WLTP range is up to 64 km. In the UAE’s summer heat, you can realistically expect roughly 45–50 km of pure electric driving.
Charging: * DC Fast Charging: One of the few PHEVs that supports DC charging. It can reach 0–80% in about 30 minutes (at a 32kW charger).
AC Home Charging: A full charge via a standard 7kW home wallbox takes roughly 2.5 hours.
Cabin Comfort and Practicality
Pivi Pro Infotainment: Centered around a beautiful 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen. It is fast, intuitive, and supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Cabin: The "S" trim features DuoLeather sport seats and a driver-focused cockpit. Jaguar has replaced most hard plastics with soft-touch materials and premium veneers.
Boot Space: Note that the PHEV battery is located under the boot floor, reducing space compared to the petrol version. You get 485 liters of space (compared to 650 in the standard model), but it remains practical enough for a large weekly shop.
Infotainment and Tech
Active Noise Cancellation: This system constantly monitors vibrations from the road and generates a "cancelling" sound wave, making the F-PACE one of the quietest SUVs in its segment.
Cabin Air Purification Plus: Includes PM2.5 filtration and CO2 sensing, which is a major benefit during dust storms or heavy traffic.
Safety: Standard features include Adaptive Cruise Control with Steering Assist, a 3D Surround Camera, and Emergency Braking.
Dealer Warranty and Service (Al Tayer Motors / Premier Motors)
Warranty: Jaguar UAE offers a comprehensive 5-year/150,000 km warranty as standard.
Service: Usually includes a 5-year/100,000 km service contract (Jaguar Care), which covers all scheduled maintenance.
Roadside Assistance: 24/7 assistance is provided for the duration of the warranty period across the UAE and neighboring GCC countries.
Best Suited For
- Drivers who want a luxury SUV with a "soul" and more character than the German competitors.
- Those with a daily commute of under 50 km who want to stop visiting petrol stations during the work week
- People who value a refined, quiet cabin and high-quality audio (Meridian Sound is standard).
Not Suited For
- Buyers who need the absolute maximum boot space for large strollers or sports gear.
- Drivers who never intend to plug the car in; you’ll be carrying extra weight without the efficiency benefits.
- Off-road enthusiasts; while the AWD is capable on sand tracks, the F-PACE is very much a "road-first" vehicle.
