Most models are mild-hybrids, one – the P400e which has a combined output of 398 BHP and 640 Nm from a 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol and an electric motor powered by a 17.1 kWh Li-ion battery – is a plug-in hybrid.

India launch of the 2021 Jaguar F-Pace will take place next year along with a slight price increase, but that will be justified by the added kit on offer with the car.
