Jaguar Doubles Down on Power With New F-Pace SVR SUV
The I-Pace may be going autonomous, but the $80,000 Jaguar F-Pace SVR takes actual driving in the other direction.
On Tuesday, March 27, prior to the first official press day of the New York Auto Show, Jaguar debuted a hyped-up version of its best-selling compact SUV.
The new Jaguar F-Pace SVR is faster, more powerful, and a crucial play for consumers of small luxury SUVs. Next year, the hyper-competitive segment is expected to grow by double digits in the U.S. alone, according to analytics firm IHS Markit. A supercharged 5.0-liter, V8 engine gets 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque—that’s 170 more horsepower than Jag’s F-Pace S—with a top speed of 176 miles per hour and a 4.1 second sprint time.
