Testing the Luggage Capacity of the Jaguar F-Pace: What can fit in the cargo area?

The Jaguar F-Pace is often overshadowed in discussions about premium SUVs, but the reality is that it is an exceptional vehicle to drive. The R-Dynamic S model equipped with the P400 engine is genuinely fun behind the wheel and rivals other top-tier luxury SUVs like the Porsche Macan and Aston Martin DBX.

However, our focus today is on cargo capacity, an essential consideration for anyone in the market for an SUV. While the official cargo volume figure is listed at 26.6 cubic-feet, it’s worth noting that this measurement may represent a less practical dimension from the floor to the top of the seat back. This is evident from the fact that the 2017 model initially boasted 33.5 cubic-feet of cargo capacity. For this reason, cargo tests are crucial in providing a practical assessment of a car’s real-world capability.

The cargo area of the F-Pace is remarkably deep and wide, with a manageable lift-over height. The addition of fixed tie-down points, replacing the sliding rail system, enhances practicality. Inside, there is a rigid cargo cover in place, although this can be removed to maximize cargo space.

During cargo tests, using midsize roller suitcases and various other bags, we confirmed that all bags fit underneath the cargo cover, reaffirming the possibility that the current cargo volume measurement is from the floor to the seat back. Furthermore, the F-Pace can fit additional cargo when the cover is removed, indicating its exceptional practicality.

Delving deeper into the F-Pace’s cargo area, it’s evident that thoughtful design features such as a fold-up box/bag for securing groceries set it apart. However, there are minor pitfalls such as the dangling plastic liftgate latch, which could inadvertently cause inconvenience.

When it comes to certain details of practicality like remote seat releases for folding down the rear seats, the F-Pace excels. This feature provides easy access to maximize cargo capacity, should the need arise.

These insights into the Jaguar F-Pace’s cargo capacity highlight its versatility and make a compelling case for its value in the premium SUV segment. Testing and evaluating the practical aspects of a vehicle like this provide a more comprehensive understanding of its overall capabilities.
