Move Over Porsche Macan Turbo, the Jaguar F-Pace SVR Is Ready for Its Close-up

On a test-drive through California, the high-performance mid-size SUV checked all our boxes.

The Jaguar F-Pace SVR's character is distinctly different from European high-performance SUVs with "New Wave" twin-turbo V-6s and V-8s. Instead of that whoosh of depthless turbocharged torque, which can feel like riding on a gust of air, the F-Pace SVR's 5-liter supercharged V-8 provides a spectacularly visceral experience, delivering growling, ferocious thrust in precise mechanical fashion.
