The crossover/SUV segment is so hot now that even Jaguar, the British maker of suave sedans and sports cars, has been compelled to get in the game. Welcome, 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, a handsome and extremely capable luxury SUV that TestDriveNow's Steve Hammes says is poised to be a resounding success.

The F-Pace is available with two engine options: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel that produces 180 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque or a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that cranks out 340 horsepower...

A seemingly effortless blend of style and substance, the spanking-new 2017 Jaguar F-PACE -- the British brand's first SUV ever -- delivers the goods on so many levels, it kind of makes our head spin.

So, as such, we'd now like to pass the baton off to Edmunds.com pundit, Alistair Weaver. His review of the F-PACE can be found in the following video:

Propelled by a supercharged 3.0-liter V6, the base 35t AWD trim makes a meaty 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. An accordingly athletic eight-speed automatic transmission is served up standard, and routes the juice…

The 2016 Jaguar XF is all new from the ground up: lighter, stiffer, better equipped and more luxurious than ever before, says AutoGuide (AG) in a new review. In fact, AG writer Craig Cole likes the XF even better than its German counterparts. Click "play" in the video clip below to watch the full report.

The large sedan comes with one engine choice but it's more than satisfactory: a supercharged 3.0-liter V6. AG recommends opting for the 380 horsepower version. The XF bolts from 0-60 mph in five seconds flat...

Jaguar has some unfinished business. Nine Jaguar XKSS roadsters were slated for production in 1957 but never came into fruition. Popularized by Steve McQueen, the Jaguar XKSS was a limited production hot rod. Originally, Jaguar intended to craft 25 models but a devastating production factory fire allotted the delivery of only 16 Jaguar XKSS models.

Now Jaguar is going back to polish its dismantled roadsters. Still timelessly styled and painted in period colors, the Jaguar XKSS models compliment legendary designs with modern driving dynamics.

Earlier this month, the Jaguar brand did a bit of showing off at the Geneva Motor Show as the brand revealed its new Jaguar F-TYPE SVR. This is the first vehicle from the Jaguar Inventory created by the brand's Special Vehicle Operations Department, and we've seen spyshots of this glorious model for just under two years now. Finally, we get a good look at this unique model. Check it out on Jaguar's official Instagram below.

Enthusiasts have long known Jaguar for its outstanding sports cars over the years, and in the modern era, the F-Type sets the bar for the brand. Today, the British automaker has revealed all of the details and prices on the king of the F-Type hill, the SVR version.

It's a great time to be an action movie enthusiast. James Bond will keep popping up on the big screen saving the world from baddies, there are roughly six million superhero and comic-themed movies coming out next year and through it all, there are always some amazing luxury sports cars. The true sign of an action star, the sports car is getting a nice upgrade in the form of the new 2017 Jaguar XE, coming out next spring. Press play to see more.

A vehicle with 8.4 inches of ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive, and a rugged body to it.

A vehicle with up to 380 horsepower from a supercharged V8, and a 0-60 time of just 5.1 seconds.

Would you believe that these two vehicles are one and the same model? Revealed just yesterday, officially, at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 2017 Jaguar F-PACE is a new face, but is already breathing down the necks of current competitors in Houston, TX.
