2026 Jaguar F-Pace: MPG and fuel economy
The 2026 Jaguar F-Pace is rated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency at 24 combined MPG, with 22 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. That lands well below the average for cars in the Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD class in the same model year.
This page collects every fuel-economy figure the EPA publishes for the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace. Below you will find the headline combined, city, and highway MPG, the estimated annual fuel cost at three different driving levels, the tailpipe CO₂ emissions, and a full breakdown of the engine and drivetrain. If you want to know whether this generation got more or less efficient over the years, the year-over-year table further down covers every model year the EPA has rated.
Key takeaways
- Returns 51% worse combined MPG than the average car in the Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD class for the 2026 model year (48.5 MPG class average).
- The most efficient car in the Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD class for the 2026 model year is the Tesla Model Y Standard AWD at 127 MPG.
- The Jaguar F-Pace has lost 5 MPG since its first rated model year, the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace at 29 MPG. That is often a sign of larger engines or heavier curb weights in newer generations.
- EPA estimates this car costs around $3,750 more in fuel over five years than an average new vehicle of the same model year.
- Requires premium gasoline, which typically adds about 40 to 60 cents per gallon to the EPA's annual fuel cost estimate.
Fuel economy at a glance
These are the EPA's official ratings for the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace. The numbers come from a standardised laboratory test cycle and are the same figures that appear on the window sticker of every new car. Real-world mileage varies with driving style, weather, fuel quality, and how heavily loaded the car is.
Combined MPG is a 55/45 weighted blend of the city and highway test cycles. The EPA uses it as the single number you can compare across the entire dataset, including hybrids and EVs (which use the equivalent MPGe figure).
| Combined MPG | 24 MPG |
| City MPG | 22 MPG |
| Highway MPG | 27 MPG |
| Annual fuel cost | $2,900 |
| Tailpipe CO₂ | 376 g/mi |
| Fuel type | Premium |
How the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace compares
The 2026 Jaguar F-Pace returns 24 combined MPG. Cars in the Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD class for the same model year average 48.5 MPG, which puts this car behind the class average by about 51%.
The most efficient car in the Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD class for the 2026 model year is the Tesla Model Y Standard AWD at 127 MPG. The bar chart below puts the Jaguar F-Pace alongside the class best and the class average so you can see the full picture.
For broader context, the average new car of the 2026 model year (across all classes) returns 45.5 MPG. Larger vehicles pull the all-cars average down, so do not use that figure on its own to judge a small car or a hybrid. The full list of the most efficient cars of the 2026 model year is on its own page.
Annual fuel cost across driving patterns
The headline annual fuel cost the EPA publishes assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year and a fuel mix of 55% city and 45% highway. The dollar figure is calculated using the EPA's current reference price for premium gasoline, which is $4.61/gallon. EPA updates that reference periodically rather than tracking live pump prices, so treat it as a window-sticker estimate rather than today's pump number.
The table below scales the EPA's number to three common driving patterns. The combined MPG and the reference fuel price stay constant, only the annual mileage changes. To get a current-prices estimate, take your local gas price and multiply by 625 gallons (the car's annual consumption at the rated MPG).
| Driving pattern | Estimated annual fuel cost |
|---|---|
| Light driver, 7,500 miles per year | $1,450 |
| Average driver, 15,000 miles per year | $2,900 |
| Heavy driver, 25,000 miles per year | $4,833 |
Year-over-year MPG for the Jaguar F-Pace
The EPA has rated the Jaguar F-Pace across 10 model years, from 2017 Jaguar F-Pace through 2026 Jaguar F-Pace. The numbers below are the best combined MPG figure the EPA published for each year, which lets you see when the car was at its most efficient and how recent generations stack up.
The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace returned 29 MPG. The most recent 2026 Jaguar F-Pace returns 24 MPG. That is a drop of 5 MPG over 9 model years. Newer trims that grow heavier or carry larger engines tend to lose efficiency even as the rest of the lineup improves.
| Year | Combined MPG | Open year page |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 24 MPG | this page |
| 2025 | 24 MPG | 2025 Jaguar F-Pace |
| 2024 | 24 MPG | 2024 Jaguar F-Pace |
| 2023 | 24 MPG | 2023 Jaguar F-Pace |
| 2022 | 24 MPG | 2022 Jaguar F-Pace |
| 2021 | 24 MPG | 2021 Jaguar F-Pace |
| 2020 | 24 MPG | 2020 Jaguar F-Pace |
| 2019 | 29 MPG | 2019 Jaguar F-Pace |
| 2018 | 29 MPG | 2018 Jaguar F-Pace |
| 2017 | 29 MPG | 2017 Jaguar F-Pace |

Specifications
The 2026 Jaguar F-Pace runs a 2-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with a automatic (s8), sending power through all-wheel drive.
Engine, transmission, and drivetrain together drive most of the variation in fuel economy across trims. A larger engine moves the car with less effort but burns more fuel. A turbo lets a small engine punch above its weight, often without much MPG penalty. All-wheel drive adds traction and weight, and usually costs a couple of MPG compared with two-wheel drive of the same engine.

Common questions about the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace
Quick answers to the questions people most often search for when looking up the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace.
-
Is the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace fuel efficient?
Not particularly. The 2026 Jaguar F-Pace returns 24 combined MPG, which trails the average car in the Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD class for the same model year by about 51%. -
What MPG does the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace get?
The EPA rates the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace at 24 combined MPG, 22 MPG in city driving, and 27 MPG on the highway. Real-world numbers depend on your driving style, the weather, and how loaded the car is. -
How much does it cost to fuel a 2026 Jaguar F-Pace per year?
The EPA estimates an annual fuel cost of $2,900 for the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace. That figure assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year, a 55% city and 45% highway split, and the EPA's published average fuel price for the rated fuel grade. -
Does the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace require premium gas?
Yes. The EPA lists the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace as requiring premium gasoline. Running it on regular can reduce performance and may affect engine warranties, so it is not a recommended way to save at the pump. -
Has the Jaguar F-Pace become more fuel efficient over time?
Combined MPG has actually slipped. The first EPA-rated Jaguar F-Pace, the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, returned 29 MPG, while the most recent 2026 Jaguar F-Pace returns 24 MPG. A drop of 5 MPG usually traces back to bigger engines or heavier curb weights in newer trims. -
How much CO₂ does the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace emit?
Tailpipe CO₂ emissions are 376 g/mi. Multiplied across a typical year of driving (15,000 miles) that works out to about 5,640 kilograms of CO₂. -
What is the difference between the city and highway MPG of the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace?
City driving returns 22 MPG and highway driving returns 27 MPG, a gap of 5 MPG. The two figures are close enough that the car will hold its rated efficiency well across most driving patterns. -
What engine is in the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace?
The 2026 Jaguar F-Pace has a 2-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine (EPA description: SIDI). Smaller turbocharged engines like this one tend to deliver bigger-engine power on demand while keeping fuel economy closer to a non-turbo version of the same displacement. -
What transmission and drivetrain does the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace have?
The 2026 Jaguar F-Pace comes with a automatic (s8) transmission and all-wheel drive. All-wheel-drive variants typically read 1 to 3 MPG lower than the front-wheel-drive equivalent of the same engine, since the extra hardware adds weight and parasitic loss. -
How does the 2026 Jaguar F-Pace compare to the best car in its class?
The most efficient car in the Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD class for the 2026 model year is the Tesla Model Y Standard AWD at 127 combined MPG. The Jaguar F-Pace returns 24 MPG, a gap of 103 MPG. If you are comparing on fuel economy alone, the class leader is worth a look.
