2018 Jaguar F-Pace

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2018 F-Pace.

Body SUV

The 2018 Jaguar F-Pace is a compact luxury SUV built on the brand’s aluminum-intensive platform and powered exclusively by gas engines, which call for either 0W-20 or 0W-30 viscosity oil. As the second model year of the F-Pace generation (2017–2024), this 2018 variant logged 41 owner complaints and four recalls, placing it in the early, less-settled portion of the model’s reliability history—notably higher than the 2023 model year’s two complaints, but below the 2017 launch year’s 63.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2018 model year shows a marked improvement over 2017, with owner complaints falling from 63 to 41 and federal investigations dropping to zero, though it carries the same number of recalls (4) as its predecessor. Technical service bulletins spiked to 813 in 2018—the highest in the provided record—suggesting this year saw significant factory-directed service activity even as complaint volume began cooling from launch-era levels. Relative to later years, 2018 remains well above the 2019–2024 downslope in complaints and sits roughly midway through a generation-wide trend of declining owner reports, though it matches or exceeds later years in recall exposure. With 4 crash-related and 2 fire-related complaints on file and leading complaint areas concentrated in steering and engine—though the federal data does not specify root causes—buyers should expect above-average service history compared with post-2019 examples. Given that complaints and TSBs trail off sharply after 2018 while recalls remain persistent across all years, the 2018 F-Pace represents a transitional year with improving reliability trends but higher documented service needs than later models, making it a cautious rather than optimal purchase within this generation.
