Is the Jaguar F-Pace SVR your favourite super SUV?
Favorit mid size performance suv for sure
Yes I'm taking delivery in a few weeks!
I have an SVR and I must say it's one hell of a vehicle, I love it...I get 25 MPG on a run, it's comfortable, it's fast and it's a great vehicle to drive, in fact there's nothing I don't like about it ...
I think it's beautiful. I have a xf-r. It still turns heads. How much of a head turner is your svr?
How the reliability with the engine and drive train
@@nigels6786 Can people stop with this absurdity of reliability.
@@oqey85 sooo is it?
@@nigels6786 Every manufacturere has reliability issue.
Great review. I’ve had mine now nearly 6 months and it’s up there as being one of the best and most fun cars I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned Ferrari, Maserati,Mercedes Amg Gtr, Porsche and Mclaren etc. Absolutely love it.
Nice 🔥🔥
Love mine and for all those German metal fanatics it’s done 22k without any problems like all the Jags I have owned over the past 25 years. Great review by the way.
Most cars don’t experience any issues until you get to the 60k+ miles range. I certainly would hope you haven’t had any issues with only 22k miles.
I’ve driven an fpace svr and it’s absolutely obnoxious. I thought it was a great all around car it handled so well. Very easy to get it sideways, but still very manageable. I’m still deciding if I want to get an m340i or one of these.
@@Viktor9502May I ask what you decided on? I am currently looking into both M340i's and F-Pace SVR's😅
Great review. I purchased a 2023 F-Pace SVR in largely the same spec this May (to replace 2021 BMW X6), after loving the 2023 F-Type P450 I purchased last year so much. Now have best of both worlds. The F-Pace is beauty and the beast - luxurious interior, style and ride when you want it, then almost sports car level performance - and awesome highway cruiser. To address all the JLR nay sayers, have been very happy with their reliability and service from my local dealer (Jaguar Hunt Club in Ottawa).
So refreshing to see a Jag reviewed by someone who is objective and not blinded by preconceived ideas. Well done.
Brilliant review, I was on the edge of buying one brand new and this review plus all the owner comments below have now pushed me over the edge. Can't wait!
Brilliant Review and an outcome that pleases me as I’m very interested in the SVR!
Straight facts, I have 22 model, 18-19mpg daily and my roads to work are all 30mph no carriageway's or motorways, and when I do go onto the motorway, 25-28mpg no problem, huge fuel tank so benefits it, seats are abit hard, but they are snug and comfy
The engine is actually good. Had it in my Jaguar XF. Great Low End Torque
A great fair review! So much so, I want one!
love these!
I have the 2020 S … love it!! Wish I would have gotten the SVR
I know it's about svr but I have the 2018 v6sc sport and love it beautiful to look at and a all round fantasic performer😅
I can agree that 28 to 31 mpg is achievable on long motorway runs sticking to speed limits. I once had the spacesaver spare wheel on and had to stick to 50mph. Got an amazing 37 mpg!
I have an SVR 2023 too, after an F-Type R since 2016. Both cars are really beautiful for as its own, but the SVR have more features for a daily practice. Ok, it is not my daily car, there some others in my carpool at home, but every day I‘am happy to buy this car. It is comfortable, sporty if you want, enough space in the roof, luxury interieur and it don‘t look like Mercedes, Audi and Porsche .. It have an own design character in the Group like the F-Type.
I am thinking of getting this changing my M5 am I mad ? I will test drive to see which is more comfortable any thoughts most welcome 🙏 great review
I understand that JLR do a lot of track work with their higher performance variants, at their own test track and also at the Nurburgring, and also think they had a Ford (from memory) chassis guy come onboard around 2 years ago, maybe that was to late to make input into the the facelift F Pace, but I know the guy did some tweaking on the new Range Rover Sport on the damper setup. I guess that is all good and the track work explains to some extent why it handles so well. Not sure whether I'd get this or the Macan if I was looking for this type of car, I'd have to try both.
One shot where you drift for the camera on a b road you’d have to know the road well and have good sight lines as these are wide cars. Wondering if it was intentional not to include Alfa Stelvio Quad, marginally shorter but otherwise a better comparison than the big heavy German metal.
It’s a fantastic looking car ! Superb !
I had a pre- facelift and now a facelift SVR for a total of 14,000+ miles. Absolutely amazing car for the price. X3M not even close in my eyes and likely bias opinion. Moving to a Turbo GT once delivered next week. Sad to see it go. Best sub 100k USD SUV, hands down.
Hola an solucionado el problema de los motores diésel? Gracias
❤️ that powerplant sad to see it replaced by BMW.
Love jaguar cars very luxurious ❤
So here is my current dilemma, i currently have a Mazda cx5 and a f type V6s, i need the mazda to tow a caravan and I love the f type, I'm thinking if I sold them both and went for a svr f pace would I miss my f type I know I wouldn't miss the Mazda although it does a great job at towing, secondly can i tow my caravan with a svr, i can just imagine the looks I'd get rolling up to a camp site in a F pace svr.
I wish i had the money to get one but i would want one with all leather white interior which almost nobody specs
Amazing video and such an incredible car. Unfortunately, they get stolen repeatedly and with ease. It's a massive issue JLR needs to fix considering the price people pay for these vehicles.
not a probably here in Switzerland. Maybe I will buy one if not the Sport SVR
Its not just a JLR problem it's a keyless entry problem, there are some simple steps you can take, add a steering wheel lock, a Faraday bag for your keys, a Ghost 11 immobiliser, i could go on but I get that when you paying upward of 80k for a vehicle you want it to be secure. Those items I mentioned would cost you £140 for the steering wheel lock, £500 for the Ghost 11, and a few quid for a Faraday bag, a small price to pay to protect a 85k investment. 👍
It's not an investment is it the way the depreciation hits. Also, shouldn't have to spend a penny on security after spending £85k on one.
Do you not have insurance?
I don't get the performance suv thing but I'd definitely get this jaguar if i could afford it 😢
Does it all that’s why. Luxury, super car performance, boot space, great visibility handling, sound, take your family or 3-4 friends out at the same time rather than just one at a time in a sports or supercar.
You need flick the gear shift into “S” as well as select Dynamic, then it’s even more rapid and gets the most out the Project 8 gearbox. I can get 30 (just) on a proper motorway run, but can get to low double digits on the proper twisty stuff. Anything with a super charger is going to be bad round town for MPG, but am fortunate to live in a more rural area and very rarely do city driving. Brilliantly, it’s ULEZ compliant 😂
Ps you can fiddle with the settings to choose whether shifters work in all drive modes or just S, so you don’t necessarily need to pull it into S to go into manual mode.
Ive managed 27mpg but haven’t done much motorway driving in it. 30mpg is really good tbh. Its a thirsty beast around town but its worth it (luckily lol).
I can get 32mpg in my f type if i keep it in 8th gear manual mode that’s still doing “70+” average.
ULEZ just keeps on giving doesn't it, a real mastermind and man of the people came up with that policy
Look I love my SVR. I just ordered a 2025 but I just wanna point out the guy that’s owned Ferrari Porsche Mercedes and McLaren if he thinks it’s an amazing car it’s an amazing car.
Hopefully they're still making this car next year because that's when I might get one. If there's a special end of life one, I'll probably go for that.
Wondering if I should upgrade my 2019 model with a newer one. I am 69 so it should see me out!
@ericrawson2909 I've never driven one so I can't answer. If your car has the new infotainment then no need to get a new one. New one will probably be quieter too stock
@@Harpreet06 It has the old infotainment. Not very intuitive, it took a while to get used to it. It works though. Only done 18000 miles, and I only do about 3000 a year. It's well maintained so it seems a bit of a waste of money to upgrade. My last car was an XJ, sold that after 21 years of reliable motoring as a daily driver. Take that you Jaguar critics!
Your car is missing (I think) the standard weird little extra bit of spoiler extension on the boot lid.
0:38 that line 🤣
Imma get it
First one to comment... fantastic video as always guys..
Surely the BMW X3M Competition would be a closer competitor than an X6M? I looked at both the F Pace SVR and the X3M Competition and ended up going for the X3M Competition but the SVR definitely had the BMW beat on the sound!!!
yeah the X3M is the match but really it is a no brainer for in comparison... this master piece engine over the S58
Same for GLC and Alfa. They are slightly shorter. But because of price my choice was between those 4.
Genius Jaguar. Only the Italians come close.
It is highly recommended not to stay on park in traffic but rather stay in neutral and engage the handbrake.
Why u say that? Asking bc I'm considering one
@gloxzii3790 it has to do with engine and transmission stress. Best to keep it in neutral and engage hand brake in long periods of traffic.
I have a 1988 Edition and agree with the review, i think its great all rounder. For such a big car its very surprising and fun to drive - its handling really is a star - balance between everyday vs more sporty driving. I have a f type r awd and the way the f pace handles makes you scratch your head at how it does it but with a very big grin - you expect the f type / a two seater sports car to handle well but not necessarily a 2t SUV.

Hi from another 1988er. It’s a stunning bit of kit. Brutal, thirsty, but such entertainment on every drive
There should have been a P450 V8 comfort/luxury version.
I agree 💯
Would take a model and save £30k
I wonder if jag will live to regret going all electric....
They will do a U turn on that soon.
The only problem with this car is you always want to go fast.
It might be expensive to run but a lot cheaper to buy compared to it’s rivals
I would be afraid to keep the car after it's discontinued.
I am keeping mine.
Don’t listen to guys talking about “Old Car, Old Tech”. Nobody buys Jaguars to play on the phone. Too many of todays cars are just cellphones on wheels. If there is any kind EMP weapon deployed in the coming years these new fangled cars will be Worthless.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Blacked out SUV 🤮 F-Type, XE or XF over this chavmobile any day, even with the 300 PS 4 pot
Disagree - the F Pace SVR isn’t a chavmobile in anyway, there’s too few of them on the road for a start.
If you want a chavmobile look no further at the the RR Sport SVR and their owners who seem to be always trying to “impress and standout”
ridiculous things - 'performance' SUV reviews are focused entirely on how well teams of engineers have reduced the compromise that this type of vehicle creates. It's insane! Let's make a heavy and tall car, style it so that it doesn't look that way (ie. create a piss-poor interior package) then add a shed-load of expensive hardware to make it handle about as well as a 90s hot-hatch. fucking ludicrous! 😆
I’ll just say this, If you are rich enough to buy a Ferrari as your sports car and a large Range Rover as your SUV then good for you. Not everyone is. Some people want a beast of a car that is also somewhat practical. This is where a sports suv comes into play.
I personally think you don’t have the money to buy any decent vehicle and are envious of those who do. That’s my take!
I had an F-Pace in 2016 (the V6 supercharged S) and it was such a dog that Jaguar replaced it after six months. The replacement was just as terrible and that was rejected too. The quality and engineering is really bad. Don’t waste your money.
I recall when MotorTrend had long-term reviews... Like 30k, 40k, 50k miles. 6k miles is still new. Barely even a first oil change.
Too bad they didn't use the 575hp engine!
well does it matter?
If so then rather give it the full 600 project 8 horsepower
Power that no one will ever use. What's your point?
They do it’s the same 5.0 engine just different tunes
Why? It's faster than the range rover svr already. Better looking too. I see soccer moms driving RR svr here in miami everyday not special
@@dpowell468 better looking is controversial. The F Pace is faster, quicker, more agile, more efficient but the range is big, bad ass and even more luxurious
