Jaguar has decided to add an additional variant to the F-Pace, making it an updated, and truly gorgeous beast.

Lovers of British elegance are well acquainted with Jaguar, the jumping jaguar emblem symbolic of the true elite. Despite transforming the badge to a flat emblem and the addition of a variety of other manufacturers in the luxury car game, Jaguar continues to be relevant today. Their ability to continue to reinvent themselves and update their cars makes them a significant competitor in today's luxury car market. With the advent of EVs and the continual push for more and more advanced vehicles, Jaguar has also created their own all-electric SUV, all the while managing to stick to what they know; creating beautiful petrol-powered British luxury vehicles.

The F-Pace is one of Jaguar's iconic SUVs, housing sporty refinements reminiscent of other Jaguars while providing the luxurious comfort premium SUVs are known for. However, in true Jaguar fashion, Jaguar has decided to add an additional variant to the F-Pace, making it an updated, and truly gorgeous beast.

Scroll down below and have a look at the newest Jaguar F-Pace R-Dynamic Black model, marveling at its beauty while getting lost in its specifications.

So what does the new R-Dynamic Black model actually offer?

First and foremost, it offers a significantly more powerful engine than any of the F-Pace core models. The R-Dynamic Black houses a solid 3.0-Liter inline-six turbocharged and electric supercharged mild-hybrid gas engine, creating 395 HP and 406 lb-ft of torque, allowing for a 0-60 MPH time of 5.1 seconds. Yup, there's no typo, 5.1 seconds to reach 60 MPH from a standstill. The power is sent to all four wheels through 8-speed automatic transmission. Fuel consumption figures sit at 20 MPG for the city and 26 MPG for the highway, leading to a combined 22 MPG. The top speed is quite impressive at 155 MPH.

To control the impressive power, the F-Pace R-Dynamic has single-piston sliding caliper brakes with vented discs, 370mm at the front and 320mm at the back, to maximize the braking capacity. The maximum towing capacity is 5,291 lbs allowing for increased versatility.

Arguably one of the greatest features of the R-Dynamic Black Model is its exterior aesthetic appointments.

So what are these appointments?

Firstly, as the name shows the exterior of the F-Pace is garnished with a variety of shiny black surfaces. Black mirror caps, black front grille, and grille surround as well as the gorgeous 20-inch gloss black wheels, contrasted with red brake calipers. Furthermore, it comes standard with a fixed panoramic roof and privacy glass. Moving to the rear, the badges, the rear valance, and roof rails are also black. These appointments add another layer of sporty elegance associated with the very best of the SUV market and for only $375. In terms of cost/benefit analysis, the benefits achieved come at a significantly low price, much lower than if these aesthetic modifications were completed from aftermarket parts, making it a truly desirable investment.

The addition of the Black model package completely transforms the look and vibe of the F-Pace matching its sporty performance to its elegant look.

The Black model does not stop at merely blacking out certain parts of the exterior but includes a variety of interior appointments as well as the addition of intelligent driving assistance systems to make the driving experience the best it can possibly be.

Inside the cabin, the key things to notice are the charcoal-colored ash wood veneer inserts, shiny metal pedals, and premium ambient cabin lighting that offers 30 different colors to choose from. The combination of these key features alone creates the high-level executive feeling experienced in the most premium of cars, such as Rolls Royce and Bentley, perfectly blending luxury with performance.

Continuing with advanced elegance, the R-Dynamic Black also houses an 11.4-inch curved glass touchscreen that controls Jaguar's newest infotainment unit, Pivi Pro, allowing the driver and passenger of this newest F-Pace variant to enjoy their driving experience even more with the technological benefits such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and SatNav system. Furthermore, Jaguar has advanced the boundaries of traditional climate control systems, introducing their new Cabin Air Purification Plus system which improves air quality by actively monitoring carbon dioxide levels within the cabin and engaging the car's ventilation system before the driver enters the vehicle to ensure that the air is fresh by the time driving commences. This feature can be controlled via Jaguar's smartphone app, positioning the F-Pace as not just a driving tool but an accessory to a luxurious life.

The affordability of the Black package at only $375 makes the F-Pace even more desirable, capitalizing on the previous success of the F-Pace line and advancing the luxury and performance of the F-Pace line to create a truly elite SUV.
