The F-PACE right up there with the best from Germany, although the fabulous snarl its 3.0-litre supercharged V6 makes under full throttle with Dynamic sport mode engaged, and even more delectable gurgle caused by backpressure at liftoff might make you reconsider anything from das vaterland. This SUV’s got soul, yet my tester was only fitted with the model’s mid-grade 3.5t engine making 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque; I can’t wait to drive the S with its 380 horsepower mill. As tested it’s good for 5.8 seconds from standstill to 100km/h and a 250-km/h top speed, whereas the more powerful version will shoot the F-PACE to 100km/h in just 5.5 seconds.
