PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF JAGUAR WHEN IT COMES TO THE JAGUAR F-PACE S, PRACTICAL DOESN'T MEAN PEDESTRIAN. THE CAT'S PAJAMAS JAGUAR ROARS ONTO THE BOSTON SCENE WITH ITS FIRST SUV. BY ROBERT COCUZZO On the prowl to reclaim its throne in the automotive kingdom, Jaguar has pounced with a sleek SUV that proves there's more than one way to skin a cat. The 2017 F-Pace S is a strategic pivot for Jaguar, which has expanded upon its pack of sedans and sports cars with this more practical set of wheels. But when it comes to the F-Pace, practical doesn't mean pedestrian. The same rarefi ed air that permeates other Jaguar jaw-droppers im- mediately fi lls the senses when you slink into this stylish SUV. The F-Pace S cuts the silhouette of other luxury car crossovers like the Porsche Cayenne and Land Rover Evoque, but when it nears, the growl of its V-6 engine is unmistakable. Packing up to 380 horses and rolling on 22-inch wheels, the F-Pace S pounces over potholes and ferociously devours the road. And even though the model was only made available in May, excited consumers have already made the F-Pace one of the fastest selling models in Jaguar's history. Suffi ce it to say, there's a new cool cat in town. From $56,700. Herb Chambers Land Rover Jaguar Sudbury, 83 Boston Post Road, Sudbury, 888-216-1776; landroverofsudbury.com . From its powerful lines to the 380hp, 3.0-liter V6 that scoots the F-Pace S to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, this family-friendly Jag still has sportscar DNA to the core. 66 BOSTONCOMMON-MAGAZINE.COM STYLE C ARNOISSEUR
