The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace with the 3.0L supercharged six-cylinder engine gets 20 MPG combined. It’s not the most fuel-efficient SUV, but it prioritizes performance and style. This F-Pace appeals to drivers who want sharp handling and a distinctive engine sound, and who don’t prioritize saving every drop of fuel.

City and highway performance

The EPA estimates this F-Pace at 18 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway. The city figure reflects stop-and-go driving, where the supercharger likely engages often, using more fuel. The highway number is more realistic on longer trips where the engine maintains a more efficient speed. Your driving habits greatly affect real-world MPG.

Annual fuel cost

The EPA estimates the annual fuel cost for the 2020 Jaguar F-Pace 3.0L at $2,900. This assumes 15,000 miles per year and national average fuel prices. Gas price fluctuations affect this cost, and those who drive more than 15,000 miles annually will spend more, while those who drive less will spend less. The EPA also provides the fuel type it used.

Real-world expectations

While the EPA provides an estimate, your actual fuel economy will vary. Expect MPG to drop below EPA estimates if you drive aggressively, especially in “Dynamic” mode. Using “Eco” mode and driving gently can potentially increase MPG slightly. Traffic, weather, and tire pressure also affect fuel economy. Many owners find 18-22 MPG to be typical in mixed driving.

How it compares

The F-Pace 3.0L competes in a segment with varied fuel economy. The BMW X3 M40i, with similar performance, gets around 23 MPG combined. The Porsche Macan S gets around 19 MPG combined. The Volvo XC60 T6 AWD achieves a slightly better 22 MPG combined because it has a smaller engine, and it uses hybrid assistance. For buyers who consider all Jaguar fuel economy data, the F-Pace’s focus on performance, handling, and interior quality balances its lower MPG compared to some competitors. Across all F PACE MPG across all years, this particular configuration is on the thirsty side.

Tips to maximize efficiency

Use the Jaguar’s driving modes. “Eco” mode softens the throttle and adjusts transmission shift points for maximum fuel efficiency. Performance decreases slightly, but it can significantly improve MPG during your commute. Understanding how the modes affect driving habits can help.

Avoid idling. Modern engines don’t need long warm-up periods. Idling wastes fuel. Turn off the engine if you’ll be stopped for more than a minute or two, like at a long light.

Check your tire pressure regularly. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, making the engine work harder and burn more fuel. Check your tire pressure monthly and inflate tires to the recommended levels, on a sticker inside the driver’s side door.

Maintain your car per the schedule. Regular maintenance, like oil changes, air filter replacements, and spark plug replacements, ensures your engine runs efficiently. A well-maintained engine is more efficient.
