Drive South Africa: Lambert's Bay in the Jaguar F-Pace

Grace, Pace and Space is the tagline that inspired this cutting-edge SUV. With all the trappings of a luxury vehicle – there’s no wonder that it started with grace and ended on F-Pace.

If humble beginnings is the theme then Lambert’s Bay on the West Coast of South Africa is exactly that – a simple way of life with a world-class reputation for having the best snoek and crayfish.

With fishing boats bobbing on the horizon and a heartwarming feeling of community – it’s exactly the place you want to escape for a family holiday.

And if you’re taking the family on a break, I can’t think of a better vehicle to get there with. WIth a grand host of driver-assisted features, the Jaguar F-Pace is the pinnacle of the range. In 2021, the upgrades are the future of what SUV’s are expected to be.

The exterior lighting updates, a more sculpted bonnet and a sleek new diamond grille are impeccable – and again, graceful.

As graceful as the birdlife that frequent Lambert’s Bay – which the little town two-and-a-half hours from Cape Town is also famous for. Gannets and Commarants are as plentiful as the great vibe. Steeped in history, this is where the first-ever crayfish factory was opened in 1918.

Fast-forward to 2021 – and we’re back exploring in the F-Pace with 5 options to choose from – two diesel and three petrol. All come standard with an 8-speed auto transmission and an all-wheel drive.

Best for the leisurely drive along pristine cool blue beaches… where all that matters is relaxation and good community.

The F-Pace is available with a choice of 2 diesel engines and 3 petrol engines, all offered with intelligent all-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic transmission.

The diesel range starts with a new-generation 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine (D200) with either 147 kW and 430 Nm while a larger and more powerful 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder (D300) turbodiesel engine offers 221 kW and 700 Nm.
