This is the 2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR, a just-updated version of Jaguar’s SUV. Jaguar says it’s the only car in its class with a 5.0-litre V8 engine and not only that, it’s a supercharged one too. That means it makes a hefty 542bhp (550hp) which is enough to propel this 2.1 tonne 4x4 from 0-60mph in 3.8 seconds and to a top speed of 178mph. It has fierce rivals though, from the likes of Mercedes-AMG, BMW and Audi. But how does this £77,595 F-Pace SVR stack up against them? Join Matt Prior as we test the SVR on some of the roads where it was developed.
Jaguar has given its most ferocious crossover a light facelift. The F-Pace SVR, the 550-horsepower supercharged V-8 version of the company's flagship SUV, has received a slew of mechanical and cosmetic updates for 2021 that promise more performance and a better driving experience. A remapped ECU for that 5.0-liter weapon under the F-Pace SVR's hood has netted 14 more lb-ft of torque over the previous model, for a total of 516—horsepower remains unchanged. The gains are enough to blast the high-riding Jaguar to 60 mph in a claimed 3.8 seconds—0.3 seconds quicker than before. Top speed is also improved, from 176 mph to 178. The company says the eight-speed automatic transmission now uses the torque converter from the XE SV Project 8 to withstand the higher loads.
The brakes have received some attention as well. There's more cooling than before, and higher-quality pads. There's a new electric booster system too, calibrated to deliver a "sportier and shorter brake pedal." Electrically assisted brakes, in our experience, have been hit-or-miss in terms of feel, so we're hoping Jaguar has it nailed down here. While the bodywork doesn't look significantly different from before, Jaguar claims a 35-percent reduction in lift, and an overall reduction in drag for the F-Pace SVR. That should result in more high-speed stability. The interior gets Alcantara inserts, a new leather-wrapped shifter, and a 11.4-inch curved central infotainment display.
Jaguar has yet to release pricing or an arrival date in the U.S. for the updated F-Pace SVR. Expect it to come in at a few thousand dollars more than the current SVR's $80,600 MSRP, and show up sometime early next year.
Truly a masterpiece. The Germans may make all the money, but it takes a true enthusiast to appreciate the F-Pace SVR. From the gorgeous exterior to the heavily updated interior, this thing is absolutely stunning. It may not accelerate like an X3M but it sure sounds like nothing else. This goes beyond a Hellcat even...
Gotta love Jaguar. I used to have a Jaguar S-Type V8 and what a speed demon it was. I believe it had a top speed of 171 mph although I never tried. Then it was such a smooth, safe and comfortable ride even at triple digit speeds. Always felt like I had really good control of it, rode like it was on rails.
The Range Rover Velar and Jaguar F-Pace are the best looking SUVs on the market. One for it's elegance and the other for its sportiness. The Velar is the winner for me though. The F-Pace seems overtly aggressive for a Jaguar, making it another one of those typical flared up menacing looking performance SUVs. The Velar just feels so uniquely Range Roverish
Have been debating on the pre-face lifted SVR over the Stelvio QV, GLC 63S. Not needed anymore now with this updated SVR as it addresses all the short comings of the old one. SVR for sure! That V8 just sounds so damn good! Now the debate with my wife is this SVR or the Defender V8. Both are equally sweet. 😁
I'm in the US and I'm hunting for one now. Debating on the 2021 through 2018 SVR. I never thought I will buy a Jaguar but hearing that it has a supercharger and not are turbo really got me interested. Drove to regular F pace with 345 horsepower that was one screaming SUV. To say I'm impressed with Jaguar would be an understatement. I will take a V8 engine in a 10 minute petrol fill up then sitting at a charger for 2 hours or having my daughter sit and some strange charging place for 2 hours. Electric vehicles are not there yet. I have nothing against them but until solid state batteries come out without any issues and can travel 800 miles to a charge and charge fully in 10 minutes I won't be buying one.
This Restyling couldn't come in better timing, with the quick downsizing and extinction of the big V8 especially supercharged in europe. SVO did their homework as always, this clearly demonstrates that with few updates and changes it as the capability of being right there with the Best. But there's a special note they still do like no one else, big growl of the wildcat👌
Where does that leave SVO in a move to an all electric future for Jaguar? Seems to me the new F-Pace SVR is closer to the I-Pace than before: * Torque, particularly at low revs * Refinement * Configurable throttle response, steering, suspension * Info tech It's not so hard for me to imagine an SVO version of a future I-Pace, with (optional) piped sound of a 5 litre supercharged V8 petrol engine
Only car in that sector, "or any sector really", with a 5-litre supercharged V8???? You've obviously forgotten the Range Rover Sport SVR, which arguably started JLR's venture into ridiculously overpowered sports cars and SUVs. I do like the F-Pace SVR, but I prefer the look and presence of the RRS SVR which, even though it has a more powerful version of the V8 supercharged engine, is heavier at 2.3 tonnes and is therefore less agile. The F-Pace looks too generic
Do u know "JLR" brand is now owned by No.1 Business group of india "TATA". The owner of TATA group is Sir RATAN TATA, World richest person by heart. Around 60% of TATA share is owned by different charity trust. So, if u by any tata product, be proud, b'coz some of your money will going to be any charity trust. There are lots of videos about "tata empire" on you tube, u guys can check it.
