Which Jaguar F-Pace years should you avoid?

No Jaguar F-Pace model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Jaguar F-Pace year has 24 complaints on file. The busiest year is the 2017 (63).

What are the best Jaguar F-Pace years?

The Jaguar F-Pace years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2020 (14) and 2018 (31). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.

NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
