- The Jaguar F-PACE SVR brings a robust V8 engine to an SUV that’s already the best looking in the market.
- I thought the Jaguar F-PACE SVR would be priced closer to vehicles such as the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
- I was wrong — the F-PACE SVR is power on a budget without sacrificing an ounce of style.

Jaguar’s first-ever SUV, the F-PACE, arrived in 2016. It was an immediate success, and it proved that an SUV could be extremely lovely, just as Jaguar’s cars have long been.
The original F-PACE had a plenty powerful V6 engine that made 380 horsepower. High-performance rides need more than than that, so Jag handed the F-PACE over to its Special Vehicle Operations crew and said, "More!"
More we got: a 550-horsepower supercharged V8, boasting 502 pound-feet of scrumptious torque. In other words, Jag turned up the volume, significantly.
But Jag didn’t turn up the sticker price, at least not by all that much. I sampled this F-PACE SVR for a week in suburban New Jersey.

The F-PACE was Jaguar’s first-ever SUV, and it was absolutely gorgeous. A runner-up for Business Insider’s 2017 Car of the Year award, the F-PACE was up there with designer Ian Callum’s finest work.
