2019 Jagaur F Pace SVR - Brutal BUT something HUGE is missing !!

- A year later than planned, the Jaguar F Pace SVR hits the road with an impressive spec and drop dead gorgeous looks. The question is...is it worth the wait !
I love driving the F Type SVR and Range Rover Sport SVR, they are both brutally fast with an overdose of theatre. There is no doubt the F Pace SVR is fast but for me there is a key ingredient missing !
Thanks to Harwoods Jaguar Chichester for letting me have the car for the day. It is there demonstrator so if you are in the market for a subtle yet astonishingly fast SUV give them a call and book a test drive !

I took delivery of My F Pace SVR 2 weeks ago and have not stopped smiling every time I see it and drive it. What an absolutely fabulous car Jaguar and SVO have created.
You lucky thing 👌
I just ordered the new one... but I have to ask are you still smiling every time or does it wear off?
What a crazy cat! Always been a big fan of the SVR range. Had the pleasure of pumping the pedal in the F-Type and that was a monster. Despite being the SVR I can imagine it being a sleeper in the stop light drag strip. Would not want anything else to beat off a Porsche Cayenne with. A big thumbs up for the British cat - love it!
I've had the FPace V6 S petrol for 3 years now and every time I get in it and drive it, I absolutely love it. I still get pops and bangs if I floor it in 1st and 2nd gear whilst in Sport and Dynamic which I love unlike some of the elderly residents around town. 😅 Drives and feels very much like a sports car as opposed to a big heavy SUV.
Great car 👍
66 year old child here, but I guess I am mature because I don't want the crackles and pops. Decided to buy one today, your review has convinced me even more that this is the best replacement for the XJ that I have driven for 20 years. I will probably leave the loud exhaust turned off most of the time as well, but can't wait to enjoy the performance. Edit: had it a few weeks now, given it plenty of "Yahoo", mainly when my wife isn't in the passenger seat. She tends to grab the door handle when I give it Yahoo, which is a bit off-putting! As you say it is a proper grin generator, and as for economy I managed 26 mpg on a run of mixed country road and motorway.
I just traded My XJL Supercharged V8 in For The F-Type SVR And I Dont like it. Its a much different ride compared to the XJ that has Air Suspension it was quick fast speed like a sports car and comfort of a luxury sedanhotel.. Thinking bout going to Rang Rover Autobiography V8.
I think some exhaust companies already have an ECU map/exhaust upgrade to fix pop/crackles issue, QuickSilver Exhausts immediately comes to mind.
Absolutely ffffing brilliant
No pops crackles bangs 🙏🏻
You got that mini of yours for that.
This is brilliant 👍🏻
Very true 😜
I like the exhaust sound but then I am no longer a youngster of 47!
Great review - thanks for sharing. I’ve had this car for nearly 4 months now, and can tell you the following...
1. If you accelerate hard to about 3500-4000rpm and ease off, you get plenty of pops and crackles. It only seems to happen within that band though. Quite easy to do it in manual mode and scare pedestrians. My 4 year old daughter loves it!
2. You can get a faster 0-60mph time if you use the paddles rather than the auto box. Sometimes it wants to start you in second gear for some odd reason. I bought a ‘Dragy’ and managed to get a 3.9 second 0-60 run using the paddles.
3. The MPG is going up gradually as the car runs in. It’s still pretty poor though - but worth it for the smiles. 26-27mpg on motorway runs, 22mpg fast round B roads, and 16-18mpg driving round town in stop start traffic.
Thanks for this 👍
Thanks for your input. 26-27 mpg is pretty good really with the amount of power it has. Do you have the 21" or 22" wheels?
The thing I couldn't stand in the F-Type R were the pops and cracks.
Ped, you are a man after my own heart. I have loved the look of the F Pace since I first spied the concept all those years ago. Despite me continually putting this car under my husbands nose I could never get a bite, until now. Finally the sound of that engine, and an overwhelming desire to annoy the raging greenies, has his attention. The SVR just adds to the beauty of this car. Every thing about it appeals to me, even the price noting it comes in cheaper her in Australia than most other performance SUV's. Thanks for dropping this video early. When I put it on hubby said, 'But it's not Saturday morning'. We watched and I finally have a little hope that he has taken note. You may have just made my dreams come to fruition.
Glad to be of service. Just get him a test drive and the car will do the rest for you 😜
I have that exact same svr
Love the way you put this video together Pete, that F-Pace looks like tremendous fun and nicely built.
Cheers Roger 👍
That 5.0l Supercharged V8 engine is perfect. I hope JLR are able to keep it around for as long as possible, perhaps with Hybridisation. I've driven the XFR many times with that fantastic engine, never gets old 🔥
The engine is going. JLR are taking a BMW V8 to replace it.
Sounds great 👍
I just purchased an American version, Identical color combo,F-Pace SVR. It does have all the exhaust "pops", "gurgles" and transmission over-run when this vehicle is in Dynamic mode with the gear selector in manual sport mode. Amazing car!
Cool. The American version probably would as you don't have the same tight emissions regulations as Europe 😪
Beautiful SUV, always loved Jaguar's designs.
Great review and agree 100% with your views. I’m 3500 miles into mine now and have generally got low to mid 20s in mpg. I too was initially a little disappointed by the slightly muted pops & bangs on the overrun - especially having come from a Gen 1 Sport SVR (Gen 2 has the same issue though!)
You’re right about the pace though, I’ve already proven it thrashes the current Sport SVR and got plans to pitch it against the Stelvio & GLC63S soon. Give me a shout if you can get hold of either for the day as I’ve got an airfield to use, just need to bring the toys to play with! Keep up the great reviews. 👍
Wow...that would be cool 😎
Great video as usual! Love the intro and the pups staring roles
Gotta gets the pups in 😜
owners are reporting that the F-Pace SVR does 0-60 times between 3.7 and 4.0 seconds. Apparently, Jaguar advertises slower times so that it won't overshadow the range rover sport svr.
Doesn't surprise me 👍
Fantastic video. What a monster, and looks stunning. The interior is very nice indeed and I agree about the lack of exhaust noise, you need the theatrics with an SVR! I'm disappointed with the cheap looking plastic rear diffuser. It looks ridiculous next to those lovely exhaust tips.
Glad you liked it 👍
Looks like an ideal car to replace my Range Rover Sport. I like those red seats as well, gives the car a bit of edge from the standard car. The pups looked pretty chilled out in the back as well.
The seats were really nice. I think the pups liked it 😜
I was out in one last week. Seats are great.
Great review as always. I personally like the more mature sound it suits the mark better. My XJR sounds exactly the same and puts a smile on my face with just the engine note itself.
I just traded My XJL Supercharged V8 in For The F-Type SVR And I Dont like it. Its a much different ride compared to the XJ that has Air Suspension it was quick fast speed like a sports car and comfort of a luxury sedanhotel.. Thinking bout going to Rang Rover Autobiography V8.
It's all about emmisions old boy. These 'pops and bangs' are simply unburnt fuel detonating in the exhaust so a big no no for euro 6.
I know...so sad 😥😂
in the USA we have louder exhausts with the pops and crackles... your guys emmissions are stricter
emmission rules so what, amg makes it somehow….by the way emmission rules is a cheap excuse against freedom only stupid people buy it
@@esteban75lover23 So the learning is for us in mainland Europe buy a car in the USA for less than in the EU and get more sound
One of your best videos... love this car.. (Phil - Lancashire)
Cheers 👍
The exhaust not having the crackle and pop for me isn't a negative, where I live (Las Vegas) those exhausts are just a cop magnet. What I will say is a negative is the placement of the power window switches, it's the same issue I have in my XF, they are just to far forward on the doors, take a look at 14:08, you can see how far forward they are...Other than that, love the F Pace.
It is truly an awesome car to drive based on the regular version with the 2.5L T, I can only imagine this version, totally awesome!! A beautiful automobile inside and out...I want one.
I very impressive car 👏
Great video Peter. I saw this previewed at Goodwood FOS last year and absolutely loved it. I’m sure that Jaguar know that they will sell a lot more of these than an M4 competitor. I actually liked the slightly less theatrical exhaust noise. I agree however with other comments that a button to choose just how crazy you want the beast to sound would be great.
I’ve been waiting since then to drive it 😂 Sadly I think the new emissions regulations have put pay to a party button 😥
The thing is, the liftoff pops and crackles are mapped in to the SVR's, not everyone wants to have pops and bangs on overrun. Agreed this should be part of the exhaust settings or something you can choose when ordering, but pops and bangs is bloomin annoying when its all the time.. honestly this car is next on the shopping list..
Yeah having a button to turn them on/off would be great. I love them personally, they just add to that drama you want from a SVR model.
Daniel Sadjadian Completely agree with you in regards to the pops and bangs. An on off switch would be a great addition to the next model.
@@francoisg3500 it would actually be easy to do (on our race car we can select different engine Maps on the fly) so it could be a setting on the infotainment system, same performance but switching the pops and bangs off when you want, say when it's late at night and you are driving through residential areas, it would save you a heap of fuel too lol.
My guess would be an addition of a PPF (petrol particulate filter). They’ve had them in diesels for a while (appropriately named DPFs) but due to new EU regulation they’ve started adding them to petrol cars. It’s happened to the new MINIs too :( I believe the pops and bangs end up damaging the filter because it’s basically fuel igniting in the exhaust. Sad times.
Yep, I think you are right there 😥
Your face Peter was a picture. When I drove it I said to Jaguar it's a Sports car in an SUV dress. But it doesnt feel scary through the corners either. Another bonkers Jag
It’s a brilliant thing 👍
Looks stunning!! Would have one tomorrow!!
Yep 👍
we cannot deny that it looks awesome!
Oh yes !
Lovely spec. I'm a fan of current Jaguars and I think they would make more sales if they could get more people behind the wheel. Not sure why you describe the engine as infamous rather than famous..
Infamous means.. shocking.. unruly... it's a perfect description. Dont take it literally like un-famous, unknown - that's the wrong context
@@DaleSteel Thank you so much for the lesson Dale. I am well aware of the meaning. It is not a word used for something that is good and the engine concerned has been very good for Jaguar.
@@resnonverba137 it can be used in a good way as I just described
I didn’t script it. It was a word that just came to me 😜
Some of you guys complaining about the pops and cracks? I want the SVR precisely because of all the noise. I like the pops and cracks with the acceleration. I assume we all like the acceleration, otherwise why waste money on a car with 550 HP? The exhaust sound is not tamed at all in the USA.
You lucky things 👏
bought one 3 weeks ago, owned lots of performance cars and still have the Auto car launch F TYPE R which i now feel i will never need to drive.....Smiles to the gallon
my new want car ! sounds bloody epic to me fella !
Oh it is 👌
Excellent joy! No more to say. Thank you!
My pleasure 👍
Wish they’d put this engine in a saloon other than the Project 8 that people can actually buy. Feel like this engine is wasted in an SUV as it completely dilutes driving engagement and the drama as you say with the noise maybe being lowered for such models. Great review as always!
I’d love to see it in an XF 👍
Unfortunately it needs an aftermarket exhaust to bring its' life back, sonically speaking. Absolutely loved the "pups"!
The pups are the star of the show yet again 😂
The intro animation is awesome
Thank you 👍
Hi Ped
Very impressive, the car and you video. Like the look with all the added features but cannot say I like the rear end styling, guess that’s personal. As for the noise reckon it is perfect, discreet but pure. Guess I am getting old or mature!🤔🤔 Good to see your sidekicks in attendance once again.🥰🥰🥰
Just an afterthought, as a committed Audi man, would love to see this go back to back against the new Audi SQ8 later in the year.
In your case it’s called ‘class’ my friend 👍
I sooooo want an F Pace SVR, better make sure I get my lotto ticket today.
Me too 👍
Great Video Review. One of the best Cars who have reviewed this. I particularly like the White Paint Colour and the cabin Is one of the best In Its class
It’s class that’s for sure 👌
Buying the 3 litre V6S diesel next year. Can't wait!
Pick of the bunch 👌👍
Can't wait to watch it all
To get it to crackel and pop. Put in dynamic, flip the shifter to sport. Put your foot down and then lift your foot. It will sound like gun shots. Best when she's cold too.
Are you in the US ? European emissions regulations have meant in Europe this car doesn't do that nearly as much as it would have 18 months ago 😪
@@PetrolPed I'm in Canada. Works like a dream hear. Especially when people hog the fat labs with no one in front. I just drop her down. And scare the sheep out of them.
I took this car for a test drive recently, and the dealer showed me a button below the gear lever that gives you the “pops and crackle” as an option. This test drive sounded as though that button had not been engaged. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m on the waiting list.
That is the Exhaust Button. It engages automatically in Dynamic Mode and is was on all the time in the test...no pops and crackles 😥
Maybe it isn’t as “crazy” as the F-type, but the sound byte I took has a distinct crackle. It was enough to convince me to order it. I hope that doesn’t make me sound easy? 😂 😂
Great video review though. Definitely does the car justice.
Wow! what a car. love the interior with the red seats and the instrumentation illuminations.The best I`ve seen, much prefer tasteful simplicity to fussiness in an interior. I would have to curb my habit of croissants and coffee in it tho!!!. Shame no pops and bangs for the boy/girl racers among us. Maybe it could be an extra in future.
I do like a coffee and a bacon and cheese turnover 😜😂
Great review!! For pops n bangs, have you driven then XKRS? Like you said, grin generating car indeed.
No. Great cars apparently 👍
@@PetrolPed in that case, if you are ever in Cornwall, give me a shout :)
Love the music in your videos very cool you should be a Dj...................
LOL 😂
If you want theatre you’ll have to wait for the Shaftesbury edition!
Yes, the pops and crackles are missing, but on a positive note I see that the older Petrol Pooch is getting along much better with Petrol Pooch II.
They are finally starting to bond. It’s lovely to see. The Pup is still a terrorist though 😂😂😂
great review as always, awesome motor
Thanks Martin 👍
I think it sounds awesome. Too many cars have been programmed for pops and bangs (Focus RS, I30N for example). That V8 noise though is epic.
It sure is 👌
Makes me wonder if the next generation F-Type will still have pops/crackles. I'm hoping it's a design choice because this is a family SUV after all.... but it's most likely the new annoying EU regulations. Having said that, the new gen AMG V8s comply with the new regulations and they still pop/crackle, just not quite as much as before.
It emissions regs I’m afraid 😥
I love Jags! There’s just something about them. That said, I wasn’t total won over by the F pace when it first was launched though..... probably too Range Rover Sports??.... not that the RRS is a bad thing....but the SVR interior is just wow. It much have been so much fun throwing it around the Chichester countryside
It was a hoot 😜
Love your reviews thank you....
My pleasure Jack 👍
Pass on the theatre. Prefer brutal in stealth mode anyday...that's what is great about Jaguar. Good review, great vehicle.
Thanks 🙏🏻
For me i really love the sound of a V8. Cracks and pops not really interested, sounds so artificial, which of course it is these days as it's often produced by software.
Greymark I work for jaguar Land Rover and the noise you’re hearing is coming straight out the back!
I just drove a 2020 US spec and it snaps, crackles and pops.
Yep...sadly it’s EU regulations that stop those for us 😢
I love this car well done Jaguar
I took this beast for a fang at a recent track day, and absolutely loved it! Now I want to purchase one! I wonder if they have fixed the crackles and pops on the over-run or tweaked the engine management system to allow for that in the facelift model ?
I doubt it. Emissions regs don’t allow for that any more 😢
Love the F pace love the F type, I wonder what they will be like with the BMW V8’s that they will be getting soon.?? 🤔
It's a beauty..great video as well.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Just looking at this sensibly Pete - 0-60 in 4.1 is fine. But on the public highway? At the traffic lights? Would other road users be impressed?
Depends who they were 😜😂
Nice Thumbnail, who took that ;)
RedMxx You
@@francoisg3500 lol maybe
You did mate and it’s my best one yet...simply mega 👍
@@PetrolPed blessed to have people as kind as you around me bud 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The new MY21 version looks even better... Can you do a comparison video? It may be the last of the big engines, before they go electric 😭
Got the 3L diesel next week 👍
Great review.
Thanks 🙏🏻
I love how it doesn't fart and cough. So sick of hearing bang bang bang bang. For me it's all about the growl and roar of the V8 not the chavy farts.
Wonderful. Buy cars like this while we're still allowed to.
Yep 😥
I own the USA version of the car and it is properly loud and makes huge pops that I don’t hear in the video. I wonder if the Euro version has a different exhaust?
It is due to emission regulations over hear and the filters they put in the exhaust 😪
Petrol Ped Thank you and keep the great videos coming in!
bizarrely i have just bought this very car !!
No way 😳
Enjoy...it is awesome 👏
Not an SUV type of motorist but were I to chose an SUV that oozes performance, style and is within a reasonable price I would look no further than the Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
Can’t go too wrong there 👍
Nice interior 👌
Fabulous! I want one!
So do I 😜
Evening Pete!
Evening Bud
OMG Pete, M3 G80 or this. I love This, but in my wife's case, size IS important and this is too big for her😭 so I've got to stick with the M3. I think the 'Theatre's' gone due to too many Grannies keeling over.....
LOL...definitely a granny killer 😂
Thumbs up for the pups! :)
Stars of the show 😂
I kind of like it, although it kind of isn't the sort of car for me, heck I almost wrote "kind of" earlier in another video today. I kind of counted kind of 16 kind ofs in this video, so my kind of challenge to you is to banish those two words from your next video, kind of challenging I would kind of imagine :) ;)
Maybe the new particulate filters dulls the sound. The Porsche 992 does not sound as good as a 991 with the new filters
I think that’s it 👍
I am sorry the fact that it sounds amazing but does not pop and bang is not a minus point ....I drove one last week after having a RR SVR ...this represents great performance and value...my fellow Director has a Macan and having driven the FPace is a convert...
I did say some people would prefer it that way 👍
Can I assume the pups were removed before you did the driving part? If not I suspect they would have resembled the TOWIE cast leaving Tiger Tiger after the BAFTAS when you let them out 😃
Nice produce and quantity lately pedders will see those numbers rise. Agree looks nice but not got the drama of the RR SVR. Although it does beat it at price point which may of been worth mentioning
Yeah, probably should have. So much to pack in. You should see the pile of footage that didn’t make it 😂
@@PetrolPed I can imagine. I recorded a few reviews myself but I just didnt have the time or commitment to edit or post anything worthwhile watching so I appreciate the work you guys put in for lets face it next to no money
Great review Pete, thanks!
I'd like one of those. Did it have Android Auto?
I think they do now but I’d have to check 👍
They added it to mine in the last service in a free of charge software update - also Apple CarPlay so you can use Waze on the main screen instead of the built in satnav
ironically the obnoxiously loud pops and crackles are the only things I dislike about the F-Type R.
I'm not sure why you dont have the pops but my 2019 f pace, if using the paddles pops like crazy. I have standard exhaust too.
Where are you ? In the US or UK ?
I’ve not scanned all the comments but did you press the exhaust button to make it louder? I think you’ve brushed by it and missed the theatre.
Err...yep !OPF filters have killed off the theatre I'm afraid 😪
Petrol Ped I’m shocked. I have an f pace but not the SVR... yet.
Yes shame about the pops and bangs..but then for the money could spend a few thousand on an after market tail pipes..thanks Pete
Very true 👍
Amazing car
Sure is 👍
I detect the curse of the OPF filter? 🤔
Oh yes 😥
I just got mine and it crackles and pops like crazy but it could be different in the UK than the US
Yep. You guys are lucky. We are held back by European environmental rules 😢
Wow you are dead on. What SVR buyer would want this without exhaust drama? May as well get the Tesla minivan
Ouch 😂
All the new MY SVR’s whether RRS, FTR & FPR, now have Gas Particulate Filters, so no exhaust pops anymore ....
Boo !
I bought mine in California and it snaps crackles and pops like a goodun.
You don’t have crappy EU environmental legislation 😡
A bit to “Golf Club Car Park” for me but great video, keep it up old chap (47!!!)
Thanks for that 😜😂
Do you prefer this over the Alfa Stelvio Q? I can't decide which one to get.
Both amazing cars. Good luck with a difficult choice!
Difficult one that. The Alfa is the cooler car, but I honestly like the idea of a car made in the UK (JLR needs all the help it can get). Plus it has a V8...
Very tough call. Stelvio is amazing and has a bit more drama. F Pace has a V8 and for me feels a little quicker. If you held a gun to my head is probably have the Alfa 👍
@@PetrolPed thanks for your reply. I have the F-PACE P380 today and love it, but would like to upgrade.....let's see what I decide :-)
Petrol Ped.. quick question.. I’m thinking of buying an XF R-S Sportbrake next year to compliment my XKR5.0, or should I sell the XKR and combine budgets to get the F Pace SVR....
If you like loud V8 Jag goodness I'd go for the XF-RS 😜
I just traded My XJL Supercharged V8 in For The F-Type SVR And I Dont like it. Its a much different ride compared to the XJ that has Air Suspension it was quick fast speed like a sports car and comfort of a luxury sedanhotel.. Thinking bout going to Rang Rover Autobiography V8.
Interesting 🧐 👍
You were wrong there, mate. The Stelvio QV is markedly faster than the F-Pace SVR. This is a beautiful looking car, but the rear end is disappointing. The rear diffuser is too bland, too plain, and too ‘plasticky’ between those exhaust pipes. It’s a shame.
Have you spent time driving both ?
I wonder if my Canadian delivered SVR will have pops and bangs....or if I’ll need a minor tuning tweak :p
Not sure 🤔
'Devastating performance'? More 'go' than the Stelvio Q? What does that mean? The Stelvio is faster than this SVR and produces the 'pops and cracks' you so love....... for a lot less money .... ;-))
Have you driven both ? This felt faster but I think as an overall package I’d still be tempted by the Stelvio 👍
@@PetrolPed Nope... ;-)) The SVR is just out of my league: too expensive (at least > € 30.000,- in the Netherlands) and too heavy (+ 340 kg) to be able to beat my Stelvio Q (0,5 sec slower from 0 to 100 km/h). It seems the Stelvio Q even beats that other V8 5000 cc monster from Germany: Mercedes-Benz GLC 63 AMG S. That is quite a performance for 'just' a V6 3000 cc: The guys from Ferrari did a good job with that F154 engine. th-cam.com/video/FVeLww9Fb7k/w-d-xo.html
yeah Stelvio is miles better than this, but this is UK channel that explains those weird comments about its performance.
It certainly is a very nice car Peter, externally there’s pretty much nothing I don’t like. Cabin looks extremely well laid out, switches, buttons all within easy reach. Absolutely love the red interior, boot space is excellent. As for the pops, crackles from the exhaust ? I could live with it just as it is but it would have made sense for a remote option for those who want to “play” with the sound. I’m pretty sure it’s down to the emissions regulations and the recently announced excessive noise detector cameras that are going to be introduced in the near future. Would I be in the market for one ? Not right now but I definitely wouldn’t cross it off my list.
Thanks for the review and say hi to the pooches.
Cheers
Geof
The Pups say hi back 👋
