Has the Jaguar F-PACE been domestically produced?

No, it is still sold through import channels. Below is relevant information about the Jaguar F-PACE: Introduction: The Jaguar F-PACE is a midsize SUV under the Jaguar brand. This vehicle is equipped with three different engines: a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a 3.0-liter supercharged engine. Differences between the three engines: The low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 250 horsepower and 365 Nm of maximum torque, the high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 300 horsepower and 400 Nm of maximum torque, and the 3.0-liter supercharged engine generates 380 horsepower and 450 Nm of maximum torque.
I recently came across some automotive news, and indeed, the Jaguar F-PACE is not currently domestically produced in China. It is exclusively imported from the UK, with all models sold in the Chinese market being the original imported versions. Local production of premium SUVs is quite common—take the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, for example, both of which are manufactured locally, resulting in price reductions of over 100,000 RMB. However, Jaguar might be holding back due to brand strategy or sales considerations. Domestic production typically involves setting up joint-venture factories to reduce costs and tariffs, thereby boosting competitiveness. That said, I’ve driven the imported F-PACE, and its handling and design are exceptional—it’s just that the price is on the higher side, around 600,000 RMB on the road, making its value-for-money ratio less appealing compared to locally produced luxury SUVs. If you’re planning to buy, I’d recommend exploring more domestic options for better savings and peace of mind. The F-PACE is really best suited for enthusiasts who crave authentic British flair. With the auto market becoming increasingly competitive, who knows if things might change in a few years?
