2021 Jaguar F-Pace SVR Owner Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

So just to add some things. The brakes are good (i'm sure they would fade on a track) but they are noisy and are prone to issues. From everything i've learned it is a brake pad compound issue which Jaguar knows... but whether they feel it is worth the cost to correct or not remains to be scene.
Nobody will mistake this car for being a Lexus, the ride is stiffer than most people would be accustomed to. I wouldn't call it harsh, but it isn't supple either.
The transmission is great, but I will say even in comfort mode the programming can be interesting. It holds gears and wants to accelerate pretty quickly even in comfort. Owning it I've learned to manage the throttle so not a problem, but there are times when I will actually use eco for a more mellow driving experience.
Once again where I live, I throw a rock and will hit 5 BMW M cars, with 7 AMGs behind; and 14 Macan's at the grocery store. I like this car because it also flies under the radar a bit. Granted it is very very blue (ultra blue might be the most accurate color name invented).

    Great and very helpful review! Made me purchase PS4Ss before it was delivered and switched out the all-seasons after a week. They transformed the car with better steering, better handling, better ride and better braking compared with the all-seasons. Thanks for the tip!!

    Thanks for the feedback. I have owned over 50 cars over the years including many German and British ones. I am currently driving a Tesla which has been great over the past 3 years, but when I bought mine they were fairly rare where I live here in Canada, but now they are EVERYWHERE. I feel that I am driving a Widget and as a car guy, I don't like that. I am considering the F-Pace as my next car. I will probably go for the P400 as the premium gas prices here are now pushing $8 CDN per gallon. Looking forward to getting back into a luxury ride.

    Yeah I mean lot of reviews on the performance aspects which are great; but what is it like to own. I got 16k miles on it, so far so good. Did have the battery replaced which was free and no biggie. I put Michelin ps4s tires on which are light years better than the Pirelli summer ones. The breaks can squeal a bit but that is a common complaint with these. Otherwise no issues.

    When you spec the car yourself you can select reclining seats and rear-seat release levers, they’re actually really cheap too so not sure why they aren’t standard. I’m guessing you bought this pre-built… the dealer didn’t tick all the boxes you maybe would have. Sorry - I’m partly wrong, the power recline isn’t available, but the release levers are. You have the gap behind the seats since recline is available on the standard car. My guess is the race-style seats means that some of the side or shoulder bolsters might rub and burn the motor out… style over substance maybe?

    I’m waiting for my svr, just got in before the tech crunch with a week 51 build date. I chose every option incl svo paint - the rear seat release levers in trunk are optional. Also the rear seats in regular f pace recline, hence the trunk trim cutouts. I’ve had the AJV8 in my F-Type R since new in 16, when I needed a dad wagon for the newborn, there was no other option, that engine in a sea of neutered opf turbo v8’s and hybrids/ev’s needs to be enjoyed while it’s still around.

    So i've gotten a close inspection on 4 other F Pace SVR now. Definitely some trim alignment issues around each car. Mine had a trim piece on the front pop out; but dealer took care of it. I noticed at low speeds turning left or right I could hear a slight pop sound like i had a rock in my tread, turned out bad wheel bearings/knuckles. They replaced both and no problems since (apparently a TSB for that so they knew immediately)

    I have a 2019 SVR. Agree about the seat, I start to fidget after a couple of hours. I have proper buttons on the steering wheel, those new ones look bad. I have the red leather seats and trim, I think it looks really great, way better than your grey non-leather ones. The supercharged engine sets it above the six cylinder and twin turbo V8 competitors, sounds way better, and has instant throttle response. As you say, every drive creates a smile. I love it.

    Thank you andrew. No so i've had a kia stinger gt2 last 3 years. I for some reason never published my review on that car but just went ahead and made it public on youtube. I did a review with smokingtire guys: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZGmOmKaInbK0d5M.html that pretty much sums it up. I honestly can't really fault the Kia; at no point did it not work perfectly. It just lacked some edge... something to put it over the top. Now that Golf R... I do miss that one. I would have loved to keep it if I could juggle cars around. I also had an SRT Magnum before the Golf. It is funny the Kia and the Magnum feel more similar to one another; while the Golf and the Jag are more similar.

I will say it has gotten much better overtime, i get between 18-22mpg now which I think is far more reasonable.

    Still have it. It’s been reliable but I’ve only got 15k miles. It had the front knuckles replaced there was some bad factory batch. Still fun to drive, tech works great, still looks great, etc. shockingly fast especially past 60mph, it has a lot of pull where I think others lose some oomph. I think the ride quality is strange though, it can be harsh in comfort over larger bumps, where sport is actually more comfortable.

    Regarding exhaust. Put ignition on before starting, press exhaust button to on, then disconnect the the leads from solenoid by the rear mufflers. This then keeps the exhaust valves fully open permanently and stops them shutting off when on overrun etc enabling reinstalling the pops and bangs from the previous generation SVR. The valves on the new Svr still shut off emissions even with the loud exhaust button on. Easy fix no need to pay for aftermarket exhaust’s.

    Can't agree more, I got the same model as you and have been driving it for 7 months. Also want to add some points from my experience. 1. I really don't like how they designed the rear bumper, it looks too simple and too cheap to be an SVR, the rear bumper on P400 looks much better than this. 2. This is a heavy car, it should equip with bigger brakes. 3. The sound system compare to his comparators is terrible ( B&O, Burmester), The treble is not clear and the bass is sloppy. *4*.Shopping is a pain for me because the SVR model doesn't have the foot kick to open the tailgate, and the tailgate doesn't have a close and lock button. So when I came to the car with my daily necessities in both hands, I needed to put down the bag and then open the tailgate. After I went home and took out the goods, I closed the tailgate first and then walked to the side of the car to lock the car or take out the key to lock it. 5. The headlight is dim, however, the pixel LED headlight is not available in North America. 6. the ambient light is boring, too light and the lower foot area only has white colour, why? 7. It's hard to believe that in 2021, Jaguar still doesn't have lane centring feature, very unfriendly for lone distance driving.

    I do select eco occasionally. Comfort is fine most of the time, but in more congested city street driving the programing for the transmission and throttle response are a bit too much. The car wants to move quickly and as it goes through higher revs beyond +2500 and then over 3k, it really picks up... that is great I love the sound and it's fun; but what the car doesn't realize is i'm stopping again in 100ft because of a traffic light or another car. And now because it has picked up speed, you need to slow down quicker. Eco is more tame for that kind of driving environment.
