It is officially the end of an era at Jaguar. After a decade, the Jaguar F-Pace has reached the end of the line. The final example of the brand’s first-ever SUV has rolled off the production line, marking not just the death of a model, but the end of internal combustion for Jaguar as we know it.
The F-Pace was the car that many said Jaguar should never build. A high-riding, diesel-chugging family hauler from the makers of the E-Type? Well, it turned out to be the most important car the company launched in the 21st century.
The SUV That Saved the Brand
When the F-Pace debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in 2015, the luxury SUV market was already crowded. Porsche had the Macan, BMW had the X3, and Audi was shifting Q5s by the boatload. Jaguar was late to the party, but they arrived in style.
Designed by Ian Callum, it was arguably the best-looking SUV on the road. It drove like a Jaguar should—fluid, engaging, and surprisingly agile for something so tall. It quickly became the brand’s best-selling model globally, effectively funding the development of the sports cars and saloons that enthusiasts claimed to prefer but rarely bought.
Over its 10-year lifespan, it received just one major facelift in 2021. It was offered with everything from sensible 2.0-litre diesels to the fire-breathing, supercharged V8 SVR, a car that sounded like a Spitfire taking off in a tunnel.
The Final Curtain
The discontinuation of the F-Pace is part of a wider, more radical strategy. Under the "Reimagine" plan, Jaguar is reinventing itself as an ultra-luxury, electric-only brand. To make way for this silent future, the noisy past had to go.
The Solihull facility, which has been the home of the F-Pace, is being retooled to produce the next generation of EVs. The final F-Pace to leave the line won't be sold to a customer. Instead, it will be handed over to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, where it will live out its retirement alongside the final E-Type and XJ.
This leaves Jaguar in a precarious position. With the XE, XF, E-Pace, and F-Type already gone, the brand currently has no new cars for sale in many global markets.
What Comes Next?
If the F-Pace was the accessible, mass-market Jaguar, its replacement will be anything but. The future of the brand was recently previewed by the divisive "Type 00" concept.
The first production model of this new era will be a 4-door electric GT, designed to rival the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. It was originally slated for a reveal in late 2025, but a major cyberattack in August disrupted production plans, pushing the launch to 2026.
FAQs
Why has Jaguar stopped making the F-Pace?
Jaguar is transitioning to become a fully electric luxury brand by 2026. As part of this "Reimagine" strategy, all internal combustion engine models, including the F-Pace, are being phased out to retool factories for EVs.
Is there a direct replacement for the F-Pace?
Not immediately, and not directly. The replacement will be a range of high-end electric vehicles. While an electric SUV is planned, the brand is moving upmarket, so don't expect a direct like-for-like replacement in terms of price or positioning.
Can I still buy a new Jaguar F-Pace?
Technically, yes, but only from existing stock. Production has ended, so you cannot order a custom-built one from the factory. Once the current dealer inventory is sold, that is it.
What was the last Jaguar F-Pace built?
The specific specifications of the final car haven't been released, but it has been retained by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust for their collection.
When will the new electric Jaguars launch?
The first of the new generation, a 4-door electric GT, is expected to launch in 2026. It was delayed slightly due to a cyberattack that affected Jaguar Land Rover's suppliers and facilities in 2025.
