Default Debate keep 2014 XJL or go for 2016 F-pace

Hi all
I have an F-Pace on order. After not driving for several weeks, i got into the XJL and have 2nd thoughts. The car drives very well, and i thought...."am i making the right move to purchase the F-Pace"?

Would love ot hear point/counterpoint on this topic as ultimately it is a personal choice, I know....., but factual point counterpoint will help me conclude on the best option.

Thanks all, and look forward to your thoughts?

Did you test drive the F-Pace before ordering ? Whilst the F-Pace looks set to be a big seller for Jaguar,(I've seen one on the road and it looks good, and magazine road test are very favorable), you'll find the general internal ambience and also ride quality will be much more down-market than your XJL which is the top of the Jaguar range and the prestige model.

As great the F-pace is; it is XF in a crossover bodystyle. Jaguar is thinking about making J-pace which is based on the "new" XJ. I would wait for those.

I have an F Pace coming soon. Get a test drive last week and I've loved the ride. I need to transfer my lease on the XJL now....
For me, it's a no brainer.

KEEP IT!!! XJ is only 'real Jag' left in my view. I'm on my 3rd leased XF Portfolio. The new crop of Jag models (XE, XF, F-P) have rubbish interiors. I drove both the F-P-S and XF-S, and really wanted to like at least one of them. Not impressed - everywhere you look interior is full of hard plastic, like Honda was 25 years ago, and very bland / cheap interior on top of that - big let down and downgrade from my car (while new XF MSRP went way up in comparison to my 2014...). My lease is up next year, and will sadly walk away from Jag, unless i go with XJ, which is a large car I don't really need .
