Jaguar Nashville VIDEO GALLERY

Jaguar is taking its 2017 lineup to the next level with the introduction of the new 2017 Jaguar F-Pace. Automotive critics and enthusiasts are comparing the bold introduction the new model to the Cayenne that Porsche introduced several years ago. The first SUV to be developed by the British auto manufacturer is a genuine Jaguar in every way, with 80 percent of the vehicle's parts being newly designed for the model and many other mechanical features being taken from the popular XF and XE sedans that debuted in 2015-2016.

The market for crossover SUVs continues to skyrocket, and Jaguar has entered the fray with the introduction of the new 2017 Jaguar F-Pace. The new F-Pace is the first SUV to come from the British auto manufacturer and is already being recognized along with the new Jaguar XE compact sedan as a smash hit by the company. As many as 80 percent of orders are coming from customers who are new to the brand.

One of most innovative new car accessories hitting retail in 2016 is the new ‘Active Key' available for the Jaguar F-type SUV. The wearable device takes the form of a weatherproof rubber wristband resembling the popular ‘Fit Bit' accessory, and it adds new security options to your Jag. The wristband allows you to enter and exit your vehicle without the key, and also disables the key when the wristband isn’t present. Now you can lock your car key inside your vehicle, and if someone breaks in, the key is rendered useless.
