I bought one of these 3 months ago and it has been a blast!! All the speed of when I had a Porsche but much more comfortable. I've averaged much better fuel economy at around 18 even with thrashing it fairly often.
Jaguar has a 5 year 60k warranty. No one in the luxury segment has that to my knowledge. I think in that warranty they take care of all fluid replacements.
That is so true 🤣 I love my Jaguars and Land Rovers but never without warranty. My front camera broke after 6 days and the car even turned up with the door (and door trim) out of alignment. I still love it though, Ultra blue in the sun looks fantastic!!
Stop it. Look at the data behind the rankings. The data spread behind JD Power is so small to be pretty close to inconsequential...modern cars from today's manufacturers are incredibly reliable, period. And in some cases the causes for negative feedback are often cultural, not mechanical. For example, some responders get aggravated by small cup holders or small AC buttons, but that data is still recorder as a hit in surveys. One of the reasons JD doesn't offer raw data as readily as it once did is likely because the data spread is so tight, tight enough to just about make the exercise meaningless. Buy what you want, and if you need more info, take the time to look at the data, not just summary lists.
I have to agree. I like the Stelvio, too, but the Jaguar takes the cake. And with the s/c V8 it will stomp a lot of other vehicles. Like our host, I was impressed at how comfortable it is and how well it handles crappy American roads.
BMW, Audi, and Mercedes have gone through 2 engine designs while Jaguar has been using this 5.0 from 2010 to 2020. They have shoved this motor into pretty much every model except for the new XF. The sound is honestly what carries this engine forward!
Honestly this thinf has way more character bur sadly not as reliable :^/ shame jag got fuck for so many years by ford and whatnot. They always made cool lookin cars that always sounded great.
Best looking SUV! I love my Fpace 35t, but the SVR is what I need for sure! And I agree on the heated windshield. Most of the time I don’t notice it, but when I do, I can’t un-notice it.
As someone who owns a 2016 F Type R and absolutely loves it, but longs for a little bit of practicality, I really want the F Pace SVR. I am getting a wrangler soon enough, but I want another F Type, I guess I could just get an SVR and call it a day. Not sure yet
I really like this F Pace. I rented a 4 cylinder turbo F Pace and liked it’s dynamics (engine was weak). Macan Turbo has been the the class leader and it will be interesting to see how much power the new one has when it is revealed. No mention of GLC63 as a competitor?
I love v8 powered sport sedans! But the way the car market is going those cars well soon be obsolete! Not being a suv person. this is one suv I would probably consider!
@@leviathan5207It's only a matter of time before they don't either. The displacements have gotten much smaller over the years. Amg is down to a 4.5 bmw are using 4.0 liters. Ford gt has a V6 now.
So much respect to Jaguar for supercharging instead of going down the easy route of turbocharging shows jaguar cares more about the character and experience of the car rather than outright efficiency
It's about 1,000 lbs lighter than the Trackhawk I drove last year at Road Atlanta, but down 200 lbs, for roughly the same money. If you're on big open freeways all the time, go with the Jeep. If you're on windy roads, the Jag is more agile (get the right tires!)
You complain about the all season tires, but what tires are on this car? On my Mazda 3 I've got Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+, which are all season UHP tires, and the only squeal I heard was when emergency braking. Taking a tight curve that should be driven at 55kph (34 mph) at 115 kph (71 mph) in wet yielded no slip or squeal.
I'm curious too, I've run Firestone Firehawk A/S (V-Rated) and BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S (Z-Rated) on my Chrysler 200 (V-6, factory 18's, went from 225/50TR 18 to 235/50R18 as well) and I rarely had noise with the BFG's, but do get some from the 'Stones if I'm pushing them. That said, the F-Pace is weighs more than our cars at 4395lbs vs 3600lbs for my 200 and maybe up to 3255lbs for your 3. That weight alone could make a difference, let alone what kind of A/S tires, especially factory tires vs tire store replacements, which may be made as much for a new car price point as they are for anything else.
Rolf Bjorn That is some of what I was trying to get at, though be it poorly.... I included the width since I went wider for lateral grip as well as under acceleration and braking (the O.E.M. rubber should have not been on the V6 cars) and therefore added grip may have helped with the noise abatement. Funny thing about the Firestones I'm running now though, when I researched them, I found that owners of sub 4000lbs cars like us really liked those tires (I like them, work great for me), while guys with the bigger, heavier cars (like the Chrysler LX cars) hated them with a passion. I think that they just may not work as well on heaver cars like they do lighter ones.
@@GreenJeep1998 What I meant is that every tire has a load rating. For example, I have 93 XL on my Mazda 3, which is frankly overkill. That means that each tire can take 1433 lbs, which means they could technically be put on a 4000 lbs vehicle and there would be 1700 lbs of extra capacity left. If someone puts an all season tire type that is not a HP or UHP type of tire, with a lower load rating and a very high profile, squealing and other performance issues can be expected. And this is an SUV/Crossover type vehicle.
Don't you guys overtake in the US, I always see you slowing down whenever you reach a another car? Also heard that other drivers call the police if you drive fast, is this true?

So about six years ago I bought a 2001 Jaguar XJR with the 4.0 supercharged V8, at the same time my dad bought a 2004 Volvo S60R with the Turbocharged 2.4 I5 and 6 speed stick. Since buying the Jag I have needed to replace brakes and the coolant bleed lines ($100CAD) and the battery outside of normal maintenance stuff so in six years it's cost me maybe $500 in random expenses, my Dad's Volvo on the other hand.... Full electronic suspension failure ($2000) Turbo failure (Dealership fixed) Weird EGR emissions box ($600) Clutch ($1900) The list goes on, but you get the picture. So tell me about unreliable Jaguars....
Farris TheLaggy When Ford owned jaguar, they built and designed them. Which made them somewhat reliable-ish. Also, Jaguars and Land Rovers use Tata electronics, so they’re not just responsible for the money.
Winter tires are so so so bad in the dry. Most of winter has dry roads and it’s impossible to drive in a spirited manner on winters in The dry. It’s horrible. That’s the case for all season tires.
This engine will be going out of production in a little over a year's time, as the factory in Wales is shutting down. Great shame 😢 I've heard it's replacement will be BMW's 4.4 twin turbo V8. I feel sick 🤢
@King of sting They have said however, that they'll stockpile as many as they can and continue to put them in low volume performance models until they're gone.
@@j.d.m2103 No it's not buddy. The AJV8 started out as a 4.0 back in 97 I think, then a significantly improved 4.2 around 2001 or 2002. The current Gen III version arrived in 2008, they're all designed in- house by Jaguar, but are built in a Ford factory to save on costs.
This car seems to be... illegal. The rear bumper doesn't cover - horizontal projection - the trunk door. If you park it close to the wall, and touch it by accident, you WILL hit the the rear door before the bumper [$$$].
The Macan Turbo with the Performance Package is underpowered and looks like a dune buggy. Porsche does not offer the warranty that Jaguar does. Plus back country roads the Porsche does not feel as planted and fun to drive. And its slower. Heck based on driving dynamics I would take the F Pace S over the Macan Turbo S anyday, anytime. The Macan does not deserve the Porsche label.
That morning haze was gorgeous, especially creeping down the road when you made the left hand u-turn

Ian Townsend owners have timed 60 in 3.7 to 3.9 sec
Stephen Isaac That is quick for a car this size.
So do I. The only thing it’s lacking is the air suspension for some off road clearance.
The Velar AutoBiography SV is beautiful tho, I’d take it over this

Yep the f pace is more in line with that. The e pace is closer to the x2/x3
Velar has supercharged 6 making 380 hp w a 5.1 sec 0-60
X5M twin turbo v8 making 570 horses without. 4.0 0-60
Two completely different leagues.
