So, we may all be back to the reality of our daily work/life routine, but that doesn’t mean that, as the temperatures cool down, Kuwait isn’t about to heat up in the fun stakes! The smooth curves and sleek lines of the Jaguar F-PACE boast of the potential power that’s ready to roar under the hood of this crossover beast.

The ultimate juxtaposition of a British inspired elegant lifestyle and country pursuits, this dynamic SUV is all you need to fulfil the duties of family during the week and friends during the weekend. 

Vehicle Line Director of the Jaguar F-PACE, Kevin Stride says, “This performance SUV with outstanding dynamics combines dramatic looks with a spacious interior and an exceptionally large luggage compartment’, which obviously is great for lugging around everything you’ll need to get your year started.

And while your kids are in the back, you know they’ll be safe on these crazy streets due to the advanced all-wheel system and an outstanding range of activity, safety technologies including Forward Traffic Detection and Forward Vehicle Guidance. 

You can also comfortably carpool the school run as the 2,874mm wheelbase provides generous rear legroom, while the seat base is designed to offer maximum comfort when seating three occupants. The positioning of the seats, together with the height of the beltline, means that even small children can enjoy a good view out of the window.

The kids will further appreciate the optional four-zone climate control system and they can settle into a long journey by relaxing using the available electric recline function.

For those less inclined to look out a window and more onto a screen, the rear consul features up to two 12v sockets, two USB ports, and up to eight devices can connect to WiFi. Now with the Dual View screen InControl technology on the Touch Pro infotainment system, the front passenger can tear themselves away from the driver’s GPS screen as they can view different content on the central screen simultaneously! 

But once your family duties are out of the way, now it’s time to really put this SUV through its paces. On a pre-dawn drive up the coast along the Saad Al Abdulla Al Sabah road to The Mutla’a Ridge, this winner of the World Car of The Year and World Car Design of the Year awards by the World Car Awards, with its four-cylinder engine, purrs like the wild cat it is.

And you don’t have to feel guilty about leaving the kids at home because the F-PACE benefits from efficiencies derived from the E-Performance range, promising low CO2 emissions. You can be happy knowing that this drive is more environmentally friendly than others.

The Jaguar’s aluminum-intensive design boasts a lightweight construction for improved efficiency, handling and enhanced vehicle dynamics. The high output engine delivers Jaguar’s traditionally effortless performance without compromising on running costs, and the supercharged 380PS accelerates to a scintillating 0-100mph in just over 5 seconds.

Really enthusiastic autophiles will luxuriate in the personalized driving experience that they can enjoy through Configurable Dynamics. This system allows you to set up the vehicle to suit your own personal preference. So, ignore “normal” and hit the “sports” settings for the throttle response, gearbox and steering.

In a subtly conspiratorial wink, your chosen settings combination is activated by engaging ‘Dynamic’ mode using the checkered flag button on the central console. Adaptive Dynamics modified the F-PACE’s damper response to match the conditions and your driving style. It analyzes acceleration, cornering, throttle and brake pedal activity to optimize the suspension settings and maintain the F-PACE’s dynamism and comfort.

You can thoroughly enjoy the stunning drive down south to Khiran too, where a long journey will showcase the outstanding performance of this SUV.

But what about once you’ve got to your destination? There’s always that all-important question, what do I do with my keys when doing something else? No-one wants to be crawling around beaches or diving looking for dropped car keys. 

Jaguar to the rescue with the ingeniously advanced Activity Key. A waterproof, shockproof wristband with an integrated transponder, this pioneering wearable tech will give you the confidence to venture off surfing, kayaking or hiking, knowing your key-fob is securely locked inside your favorite Jaguar. 

Once you lock the vehicle, any key-fobs inside are automatically disabled so you can rest assured that on your return the F-PACE will be exactly where you left it!

Now that you are back in Kuwait, take the opportunity to explore all that this exciting country has to offer from sights to landmarks, to galleries, museums, indoor and outdoor activities. Behind the wheel of the Jaguar F-PACE, your Kuwait adventure begins now.
