Video: Jaguar’s Mike Cross on the new F-Pace

6 April 2016
Feature

Who better to ask about the thinking behind the new F-Pace than the man who headed up its chassis development, Mike Cross? For our latest video, the Jaguar chief engineer takes Autocar editor-in-chief Steve Cropley for a ride in the new model and explains why he thinks the F-Pace is the F-Type of the SUV world.

The all-new car is arguably one of Jaguar’s most important ever - not only is it the marque’s first SUV but it also enters into the world’s fastest growing car segment.

The F-Pace's wheels are aimed squarely at the Porsche Macan. Can it really take on the segment's long-standing performance benchmark?

As soon as he said 'Jaguar DNA'

I thought, what, you mean I'll be taking it back for warranty issues on a bi-monthly basis. Seriously though, it looks good, goes quietly and should sell well. Pity about some of the low rent plastics here and there.

Wow Mike cross is boring, good at his job though and looks a good car.
