Exhaust! In Grasso’s Garage this week, we have a noise maker on our hands with the 2024 Jaguar F-Pace SVR. This display of both luxury and sport makes for an amazing ride but a rough one, filled with tons of power.

Under the hood of our unbelievable Ultra Blue exterior paint is a 5.0-liter supercharged eight-cylinder engine, producing 550 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Paired with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Jaguar F-Pace SVR is one fun ride, with a deep and raspy exhaust noise that is sure to keep you right in the peddle.

Riding on 22-inch five-split spoke black wheels, the SVR is both powerful and comfortable to your exhilarating driver who wants comfort, power and quick get up and go when needed. The SVR body kit, brings the overall stature of the F-Pace to another level; its overall design brings the ever-popular F-Pace from luxury to luxury-sport easily and exceptionally.

The 11.4-inch infotainment system, similar to other models in the fleet, is easy to use. A sliding panoramic sunroof was also standard on the SVR, while our tester included a heated windshield and heads-up display.

In this category, there are many other options, such as BMW X3 Competition and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, to name a few, but the SVR really tops them all, as its warranty and maintenance coverage is significantly better. Jaguar EliteCare includes a five-year/60,000-mile warranty included in the purchase, and Jaguar includes complimentary maintenance for five years and 24-hour roadside assistance, bringing back Jaguar’s dedication to their consumers.

Jaguar has always been a struggle for Grasso’s Garage, since the days of Ford Motor Co. being a part of the design and production. Since its transition with Land Rover, we have seen an uptick in consumer complaints around electrical issues and endless recalls. As the owner of a 2011 Jaguar XJL, I find the automaker's display of luxury truly commendable. And with the SVR now available to consumers in an SUV, the F-Pace just moved up on the list in Grasso’s Garage. This is one fun, powerful and comfortable SUV, priced right for this category. Great work, Jaguar!
