The Performance Crossover That's Also Designed For Daily Living | 2022 Jaguar F-Pace SVR Review 

That Jag SVR is simply the angriest and toughest suv on the market hands down. Absolutely love it!

On the subject of Jaguar reliability, I have owned two F-Paces (2017, 2020) over the past six years and driven 60k+ miles. I have had EXCELLENT service records for both vehicles. In speaking with my local Jaguar General Manager, he confirms it’s Land Rover that now has the the bulk of reliability issues, not Jag.

Great review. An F-Pace SVR owner here and I was worried about the seats as we do some big trips and they looked pretty thin. My previous F-Pace S had the 18-way ones which were incredibly comfortable. But I've found the SVR seats to be very comfortable even doing longs hours in them, 6-8 hours, not as comfortable as the 18-ways but not uncomfortable. I really think anyone looking should definitely try them first though, just in case they get the same issue as you. Reliability wise, I've had two F-Paces and had a single issue with the bonnet catch on the SVR and it was replaced under warranty when I mentioned it at the 2nd year service. No fuss, no drama. Absolutely love this car.

Once you drive one, you forget about any nitpicks and issues with the seats or seatbelts. The SVR F Pace is like driving a Dodge Challenger with a huge V 8 only it handles better and has better tech and reliability and utility. The F Pace is first and foremost a driver's car and it handles better than a MB C Class and the acceleration and exhaust note is literally mind blowing to the point of being like heroin...this is a addictive ride and the reliability is excellent as the engine and power train has been around for a very long time and is bullet proof. The biggest problem with an F Pace with a supercharged engine is that the car begs to be driven fast and hard such that you do not want to be stuck behind someone driving the speed limit but it is also a most comfortable ride and very refined and gorgeous eye candy. One thing Alex did not mention is that this thing is a monster in the snow on unplowed or partially plowed roads unlike most of the competition, the Jaguar just goes without any drama in several inches of snow and this thing just eats snow and it is also quite capable off road. I would recommend losing the summer tires for Continental Contacts in Winter but that is true of any sports car in winter and most importantly, the F Pace drives a like a big displacement V 8 Dodge Challenger with better steering and brakes. It is big and heavy but it is a great highway cruiser and a great ride in back roads where you can just open it up and let it rip at 7 to 8 to tenths of the F-PACE's limits. The F Pace is a muscle car and it feel likes one behind the wheel and that never gets old. It is the most fun to drive car in the segment hands down. Lastly, it is comfortable. Many times I have taken refreshing naps in mine by reclining the front seat backwards while waiting to pick up someone while sitting in a parking lot. I mean the seat comfort is very good in that regard and the sound system is also excellent. It is very much a Jaguar in that regard.

This has some of the highest scores in the driving scene than I’ve ever seen. I think this is definitely an enthusiast’s choice in the segment. We all see BMWs and Mercedes’ everywhere, but this is interesting.

I am amazed by the score you gave the Jaguar A+/A What!!! Wow! This is an amazing review - one of the best ever!!!

This is king jaguar....period.it destroys everything else in its class.ive seen this get to 60 in 3.2 sec... It tops out at 186....it's a nasty Katt

My favorite design language in the business. Love Jaguar.

Instead of matte paint, get a wrap. Rather, pricing for good ones can be comparable, especially for specialty paints used in luxury brands like JLR.

After test driving all of the super SUVs, I found the F-Pace SVR’s front bucket seats to be the most comfortable and ergonomically pleasing of the bunch whilst still having excellent lateral support in the corners. GLC63S comfort seats are a close second.

I thoroughly enjoy your reviews Sir! Especially since I’m looking to get one of these next year. Thank you for your time and effort. 👍🏾!

Excellent review! Actually best I have seen for any cars!

5 years in jaguar F pace.. have been very happy..

Best over all super sport SUV on the market in my opinion.

Thanks for the review. Engine sound is incredible.

Very, very few vehicles in Alex on Autos history get an A+ in Ride & Handling, plus 70 decibels or less

Another great review! I think it would be helpful to add min and max inches to the vehicle size graphic to get a better sense of how the cars rank in length. Great looking car!

The most amazing sounding SUV.

What a gorgeous rig!

This makes me want a Jag! *under warranty

I’ve owned a high spec 2016 Jaguar XF with the SC V6 for about five years, and it’s been nearly perfect in terms of reliability. I love the lack of air suspension or any other too complicated systems with the SVR - just keep an eye on that AJ, but I’m betting you’ll be fine generally speaking. And if not, CPO!

re: discussion on the GLC63, the order books have *not* opened for that one yet from what I read, last month they re-opened for GLE, GLS & G wagen V8s. still waiting on the GLC 63 and E 63

"This kitty has claws!" OMG!!! This alone drew me in... grrr!

To keep comparing this to the X3M by saying it’s heavier, stops slower etc, is a mistake. The F-Pace is of a size that sits between the X3 and X5 and the other German equivalents. That makes it tough to compare directly, but by choosing the smaller car here it’s easy to criticise. Compare this to an X5 or Cayenne and see the other side of the coin, while always remembering the price of this car! You can’t get away from the fact that this has a big character, and is the choice for those with taste.

I like the matte finish on this particular vehicle because it further smooths out the already swoopy lines. Don't know if I would like it long term because I have know idea how it will hold up and look five years down the road. Perhaps a matte finish wrap is the way to go.

I dont know first hand about Matte Paint but ive just heard to many bad things from friends that have had cars with it. Ive heard alot about getting it Wrapped it better and easier down the long road. My Cousin has his Mercedes's GLB wrapped and it looks good.

Per usual, the looks/design and performance are amazing on this vehicle. Too bad they have a bad reputation for reliability. Thanks for the review, Alex!

Great looking auto but why do some manufacturer's only offer the semi-opaque sunshade for the panoramic roof? I do not get that. Anyone know the logic behind it?

The ultimate test for a Jaguar, or any British car for that matter, is to take it cross-country. If it can go coast to coast without breaking down, you got a winner.

Doesn't have Satellite imagery on Sat Nav? Come again? It is there and quite easy to configure. Just have to know how. 🤷🏻‍♂️

As far as the matt paint on the Jaguar goes (hand wash only), when you get a Jaguar, you have to expect high maintainance.

I think it's beautiful also.

LR on a budget when these hit 40k I will be tempted

Adaptive cruise available in the SVR only? LoL, my mazda 3 for $20k brand new has it

There is a matte painted Hyundai Veloster on my street, the paint job is utterly destroyed for three reasons. First, our local water is so hard that it etched the paint. Second, they were in a fender-bender and still after 2 years can't find anyone to do the paintwork on it because of the matte paint- something Hyundai apparently doesn't mention to potential buyers. And finally, Third, her kids washed mom's car for her and used one of those wash and shine car washes on the matte paint so it looks sort of like it is blowing clear coat. Oh, and if you don't wash bird droppings off within hours it apparently etches the paint - she had that happen before any of the other events. So yeah, just say no to overpriced matte paint unless you have a garage to part in and a paint shop already lined up for when you need one.

Headrest and seatbelts not adjustable?

The "not so good" reputation for reliability, with the Alfa Romeo brand is unfortunate. I really like the way the Stelvio looks, and the fact that you don't see them very often, also has a certain appeal! If in an alternate universe, Alfa Romeos we're very reliable, it would be my pick!

J'adore énormément cette voiture

Most beautiful SUV by far .. Velar is also stunning.

Cars are soooo much cheaper in the US than in Australia. SVR is $86kUSD in the US. It's $108kUSD in Australia.

You can order the svr with the normal massage/heat/vent seats.

Huh i thought this is direct competition to the GLE and X5 but oh well

bravo 🐆

0:09 Jag. Ooo. Arr. 3 syllables.

Would take this over any of the German 3

Matte paint you need a body wrap

I remember Porsche making an absolutely tiny car to prove to people you don't need a big engine to go fast... now they make huge cars with all leather heavy interiors. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

The matte finish is gorgeous but you have maintenance that you don't encounter with a clear coat. Speak to people in the detailing industry and get their thoughts on care. People get their matte finished cars wrapped or look into a ceramic coating. You need to wash these by hand and can't go thru car washes

Nope. I've seen it on a friends vehicle per the Sunday morning gathering. We got to talking about it and while it appears/looks really good up close, the closer inspection revealed the "flaws" become vary apparent! Those scratches and leaned too close on the body by whomever will leave way too many scars! So its a hard no in my book. I do like/love the green otherwise.

Time to go in a different direction. Enough crossovers. Make sedans and if they must, make them higher off the ground. There's but so much style you can put in such a tall "utility" vehicle. Plus, with the move over to electric vehicles, by form necessity, vehicles need to go lower, not higher.

Fitting and hilarious that India took jag from Britain

Matte paint.. Never have.. Never will.

looks nice. wish it were reliable and held its value. hate matte paint; will never buy it.

I'll be buying a matte finished car on the same day I buy one without a spare tire...never.

If this had the leaping 3D Jaguar logo on the hood it would be perfect. Until then, not a Jaguar! Beautiful car though

How original, DAs frothing at the mouth to comment about reliability on something they’ve never owned.

Beautiful car... love the mat paint but would not buy it. Could not deal with keeping it clean. Posting this at the start of the video it probably starts around $30k? haha jk. oh well. I will keep dreaming.

I don't like matt paint.

The previous interior was so horrendously bad. I mean awful! The whole lower door panel had the chintziest super easy to scratch plastic. And the meridian sound system was bad.. was quiet and drive good though

I hate the look of matte paint and don't understand its appeal. It's harder to maintain and offers no tangible advantages. It must just be "different for the sake of being different", and it won't wind up in my garage.

The entire current Jaguar lineup will be discontinued in 2025 and replaced with all-new all-electric models.

I'd suggest you stick to gloss paint. Your wallet will thank you for it.

Looks like a rebadged Audi. I want to love these new jaguars but they need to figure out a better 2d logo.

those seats look to boy racer, the jags to pricey for me in SVR form with not enough luxury

Like the paint but styling wise, very boring.. androgynous. All cars now looks the same more or less, how boring… Inside very nice although…

Look at that rectangular lock button at the 9:20 mark. It looks like it is tacked on because the lines of the rectangle don't line up with anything on the door. Not impressed with that lack of detail. Brands like Genesis would never allow this

Doug's Land Rover Defender is the most reliable jlr vehicle.. if it was my choice, I would take the range rover velar over this... it is the Land rover counterpart of the f pace after all... it looks much better than this imho

I don't understand this, why bucket seats in the back ? why would even have any bucket seats in an SUV ?

SUVs suck to handwash

Jaguar is dead to me. They desire to be BMW. Why?

Only an idiot would by a Jaguar.

Wheels front and back aren't even centered in the wheel wells. Looks dumb and is typical of the lack of Jaguars quality. Headrests are a joke. Bottom line: no thanks.
