If you've kept pace with our blog page here at Jaguar Huntsville, you may well have noticed that we're pretty gosh-darn pumped up for the release of our beloved British brand's first-ever utility hauler, the spanking-new 2017 Jaguar F-PACE. Try as we may, we quite honestly cannot stop buzzing about it.

And we think you'll know just what we mean after watching the following clip, a video review of the F-PACE from Edmunds.com personality Alistair Weaver. Have a looksee right here:

Striking a balance between the (oftentimes mutually exclusive) needs of fun and frugality is certainly no small task. And yet, the diesel-drinker of the F-PACE engine array -- the 20d AWD -- still somehow manages to achieve this aim in spectacular fashion.

Rated at 180 horsepower and a remarkable 318 pound-feet of torque, this 2.0-liter turbodiesel inline four-cylinder couples with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and standard all-wheel drive. And though official fuel economy figures for the 20d AWD are not yet available, Jaguar maintains that it'll ring in somewhere in the upper 20 mpg combined range.

If you'd like to meet this mind-blowing machine "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Huntsville, AL location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the F-PACE, or any other Jaguar model that's piqued your curiosity.
