Jaguar F-Pace SUV Locked In For Frankfurt Debut

Jaguar's brand director Steven de Ploey has confirmed that the F-Pace luxury SUV will make its first public appearance at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show in September, before going on sale later in the 2015 or at the start of 2016.

Styled after the 2013 Jaguar C-X17 concept car, the F-Pace will use a Range Rover-based aluminium platform dubbed iQ[Al], which will also see service in Jaguar's incoming XE midsize sedan.

Powertrain variants have yet to be confirmed, but a performance variant powered by the F-Type's 280kW/460Nm supercharged V6 is rumoured.
