Funny enough, a pre-facelift F-Pace SVR in a very similar spec, albeit with a black interior, drove past me last month. Super nice and my word is it loud..... He pulled away and that exhaust snapped and popped 300m away from me...
I have been living with this vehicle and love it. My only complaint is the "super glued Ipad to the the middle of console" . It looks like an afterthought or copout of the engineering team not finishing the integration design. Other than this, its a beautiful interior.
Yes, but I love my 2019 model with red leather seats. They look so much nicer. As for mpg, I managed 29.3 on a run the other day. I am glad I bought it.
It always does. The amount of people that dm sam jww and all the influencers screenshot proof of the invoice that they ordered cars they recommended its crazy.
@@androidchannel309 it isn't, for that reason and many more. It's just faux environmentalism, being used to line the pockets of various investors in that area.
My lunchtime highlight, makes for a fun change in this working from home vibe and bring on 'roarty' Jags👍 About Formula E, possibly exciting when they go to oval racing, much more close up action and excitement!
I think these looked the best in 2018. Blacked out F Pace-S. The model in the video does not look sporty enough to carry the SVR badge it really needs different wheels. Your point of blending in was spot on.
I used to be the front of house manager at Cliveden when I was 24...Loved that place....in desperate need of a refurbishment now....No work has been done on it in 20 years
After driving and owning an F-Pace with a supercharged engine, there is essentially nothing else out there that comes close. The car drives so much better than anything from Audi, Volvo, MB or BMW. The usual American or Japanese luxury SUV competition is not even close in any meaningful way. A Jaguar is a car which is like a well behaved and very beautiful race horse, nothing looks better, handles better at speed and is more comfortable than a Jag. Sure an F Type is great sports car, but try taking a couple of 130 LBS American Akitas to the beach in an F Type. The F-Pace opened up a huge market for Jaguar and I would argue that very few people who opt for the car are cross-shopping Land Rovers. Rather it a BMW or a Porsche or the Jag. The Jag is much more sporty, comfortable and better looking than the BMW and such a better value than the Porsches. To the cognoscenti, the Jag offers tremendous value just based on its rear wheel drive biased AWD and its supercharged engines and quick steering. I would describe the Jaguar F Pace driving experience as similar to driving a big heavy but athletic V -8 powered Dodge Challenger - it feels and handles like a very well sorted muscle car - rather than a stiff legged true sports car. It is big, fast, powerful and its looks great and it is surprisingly comfortable and confidence inspiring.
The interior does look nice but the stand out screens are just not my thing. I much prefer the new Audi or Mercedes interiors with the screens integrated into the dash. Particularly on the A6.
reviewers are normally completely distracted by the price point and misjudge jags - finally a reviewer that acknowledges that there is a disconnect between price and quality when trying to compare to other brands
Another great jaguar Sam. Are you thinking of buying one or just borrowing them. Ilove the really great videos Sam. Keep them coming. The interior of the jag looks great. From Dan m. Can you get a Bentley or a lambo on the channel next. 👍👍👍
@@seenthroughglass sounds great mate. I would love to see either a new Bentley or a lambo on the channel at some time. I would love to meet some of the super car you tubers at some time like yourself and Paul Wallace archie hamilton tge tv. Emma walsh. And yannimize. From Dan m. 👍👍👍
Well if I had to have an suv, think the Jag has great style without the brash vulgarity of some other competitors. More importantly, did Twiggy give it the paws up? 😁
The interior is lovely, but I always saw the F-Pace as more of a Volvo XC60, Lexus RX rival (if you're familiar with those cars). So I'd say with the facelift, the F-Pace is now on the level of BMW and Audi, in terms of interior quality and design, not really Bentayga / Urus. Still lovely car, I think if your market had the V6 engine, that would be the sweet spot. So Sam I think a V6 F-Pace would be the more appropriate replacement for the 6-cylinder X3.
I remember driving an F-Pace a few years ago (not a sporty one) and I remember the interior being a little disappointing, although it probably didn't help that I drove a Range Rover Velar on the same day. Either way, it's good to see that Jaguar have addressed the new interior for the new model. Shame the outside looks almost the same, though. It's not a bad looking car, but I think there is a danger that it could look a bit outdated sooner than JLR would like.
let's be honest here, Jaguar's sit in-between the classic german manufactures that everyone seems to go for, and the more prestigious manufactures.. your Bentley's and Aston's. It's a nice niche, especially for those, such as myself, who don't crave the ridiculous and unusable 550+ hp figures of the modern M and AMG cars in the UK.
They finally homologated the performance tires for North America wooo! Can't wait to finally see how this can really handle when my new one comes! And yea, the improved gearbox, brakes, interior, infotainment and HUD :p
What a car! Its really good to see Jaguar's Formula e drivers. I have been following Sam Birds career since the start of that racing series, and am very impressed. He also races Ferraris at Le Mans. With these races, no one has a clue who will end up on podium, like Touring cars, its very much a contact sport. Looking forward to seeing them in London.
The FE drivers are totally right about the excitement. Shorter format, and very unpredictable racing too. Only the sound gets quite monotone, it's a constant whistle.
SUCH impressive cinematography - and superb drone skils, Sam!! I was particularly blown away by your animal-training skills... Quite how you trained those songbirds to fly so near to the drone that it's microphone could pick up their song just as well as it did with the F-Pace SVR's exhaust note, I'll never understand!!
Only thing I'm unsure of is the stuck-on "iPad", I just prefer them to look more designed into the interior than bolted on as an afterthought (obviously not the case, but it always looks that way).
I know this video is a year old. I’m currently considering an SVR but have a few questions. First how’s the ride quality? Second, comfort of the seats? Lastly, 2022 F-Pace SVR or 2022 Macan GTS? Thanks
As an M40i owner, I very much fancy the new SVR… On your next episode of Behind The Glass, please give 30 seconds on your thoughts on a comparison between the two! 👍
What’s Great video! Love the updates to the interior, about time the infotainment got an upgrade. Side note, anyone else stressed out by how high the middle head rest is on the back row?
It is fascinating that youtube recommended me this video, when i never searched for something similar on here, but i did own the F-PACE. I just owned the normal 2.0 liter diesel version, but the electronics shall be the same as in this model. What i found out, that after a while, the plastic buttons were responding not to the input, you had to press them 3 to even 6 times until the input were registered. Also i had problems after a few hundred kilometers that i drove in one setting with the speed control, it just wouldn't activate. The steering wheel pedels itself are solid, made out of steel and not plastic, which was nice and the seats are better than that from a Audi A6, that provides for a nice riding. The climate control also had issues and it couldn't decide of blasting in a unpleasent noise the cool air or just distribute warm air in a lower fan circulation; maybe i was just too stupid to find out, but i tried to find a reasonable middle setting. In the end i gave this car away after only 4000 km i drove in, because it didn't live up to the expectation i had; Jaguar lost its quality when they sold out to India / China in my opinion and wouldn't buy another one.
Comparing to M and AMG: I drove SVR a bit longer than 24h and it is surprisingly comfortable. It is not velar level of comfort but still very good as daily car and way Better than amg. 21” is probably better all-around choice when not used on perfect surfaces.
Now I think I need to get down to the local dealer and see what all the fuss is about. Hey, great that Jag is bringing the fight to the door of the traditional sector dominants. Go Jaguar ...Keep the Jaguar videos coming Sam. But now would you say the F Pace is taking on the Range Rover !!
Great Video, but honestly, I think you're judging the SVR through Jag-love tinted glasses. The SVR barely scratches the likes of X5M, dynamically and Interieur wise. Exterior as always comes down to taste. But everyone has their own taste and that's great!
For context, I was looking for a family car (the wife wants a SUV... I want a wagon), I tested the GLE63, Cayenne S, X5M, Jag SVR, SQ8. The X5 was the most fun to drive and I specifically like the interior since it still has physical buttons for the important stuff. I can't stand "let's make everything a touch screen"
Fantastic car, had one on test drive for a day three years ago (pre-facelift). Would have bought one if it wasn’t for the absolutely dire pre-sales service from the JLR dealer.
I just cannot get enough of the recent Jaguar V8 content. Keep it going Sam 🔥
More to come!
A Dark Blue exterior and Tan leather interior on this car would look nice. Brilliant video as usual Sam!
Balmoral/Portofino Blue is perfect
I agree!
Surely green exterior is the way to go
Funny enough, a pre-facelift F-Pace SVR in a very similar spec, albeit with a black interior, drove past me last month. Super nice and my word is it loud..... He pulled away and that exhaust snapped and popped 300m away from me...
@@007knick Yes but the blue over tan just seems a bit more modern.
The interior looks so much better now, matches the price tag more than the older interior for sure.
100%! Such a great all round package now
Yeah the old interior just looked weird and cheap, now it's perfect
Daniel Sadjadian I see you everwhere on car videos

Loved the slow drone shot with just engine noise!
I noticed that the way the video is produced and shot is very high quality now
Thanks dude
8:30 Amazing drone shot and sound design Sam!
Thanks buddy
I watched this video and then bought one!! I absolutely love my SVR!! Thanks for the great info!!!
I hope this helps them financially
It always does. The amount of people that dm sam jww and all the influencers screenshot proof of the invoice that they ordered cars they recommended its crazy.
I think it has, along with the E-Pace, almost half their sales at the moment I heard.
That is one of the coolest SUVs money can buy.
One of very few SUVs I actually like.
Nice video as usual.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks! 👍
I’ll be really sad when cars like this are gone. Electric just isn’t the same.
True they should keep the v8 smhh
A hundred pounds of toxic lithium... I just don't see EV's as a positive choice.
@@androidchannel309 it isn't, for that reason and many more. It's just faux environmentalism, being used to line the pockets of various investors in that area.
“That was a super nice event, mostly because they had cake; I love cake” 😂
Jaguar should just hire you, give a team, budget, and creative license to do what you do best.
Finally a RUclipsr giving Jaguar the credit they deserve! Love this original content - More classics please Sam!
Now you know how us Alfa Guys feel. People love going over the top while Sh*ting on The English and Italians cars
Jaguar has updated a lot of their interiors and now they're very underrated cars!
I never tire of Jaguars, love them!
Still has all that lovely V8 soundtrack, even with OPF 🔥😍
Great vid! I own a 2020 model and love it. I've had zero issues with it and is my daily drive. Looking good so far 😁
Cool video Sam, it's a very underated vehicle.
Indeed it is!
Your recent videos really made me appreciate Jaguar more, kinda forgot about them for a minute!
Probably one of the nicest looking modern looking interiors - right mix of digital and physical buttons
No need to apologize for Jaguar content, Sam. Keep it coming!
Just put a deposit down on an SVR Special Edition. The exhaust note is amazing, and the petrol consumption eye-watering.
My lunchtime highlight, makes for a fun change in this working from home vibe and bring on 'roarty' Jags👍
About Formula E, possibly exciting when they go to oval racing, much more close up action and excitement!
Love that!
Love the "Mind and Flesh" tune !! Great music choice uncle Sam 👍
I think these looked the best in 2018. Blacked out F Pace-S. The model in the video does not look sporty enough to carry the SVR badge it really needs different wheels. Your point of blending in was spot on.
Loving the Jag content Sam, you can never have too much Jag on the channel. Keep up the great work 👍
Another intriguing upload! Thanks Sam! Have you decided anything on the F-Type yet?
Not yet!
I’ve owned a face lift SVR for the last three months and its been brilliant.
Well the f pace have been a great looking suv for a long time but with this new interior 😍 what a great car ❤
Followed an F-type this morning gotta say it looked class from the rear...
Loving the content Sam! You are just killing it with the quality
It's definitely better looking than most suv, and you don't see 1 every 2 second thats a good thing and that noise is heaven
what a gorgeous interior. Green with tan would be an amazing spec!
Noticed that the steering wheel resembles that of a mustang GT and now I can't unsee it, great content as usual keep it up Sam!
Havent spent enough time in a Mustang to know but interesting observation! Thanks for tuning in
I mean a design of a steering wheel is pretty limited 🤷♂️
@@taehokang2551 I dunno, AML managed to square the circle.
@@billbligh4547 actually yea. Genesis has unique steering wheel designs too. But still my point still stands
Beautiful vehicle. F-Pace’s on the road stand out wonderfully. So much attention to detail. Congrats JLR!
Would have the jag over the r/r sport svr..
Brilliant review ...... the interior and soundtrack are first class. Welldone and keep them coming Sam.
That drone shot 👌👌👌👌
The drone shot!
Ever considered the 'white lipstick' on your 360 like your old f type?
Love my F-Pace SVR. Soundtrack is phenomenal
The camera angles are spot on Sam.Loved it..;)
Thanks matey
Great video Sam. Loving the Jag content!!

Duuuuude, you're sequence at 8:30 looks straight up like a jaguar commercial....well done!!!!
Sam, could you have a go in the Velar P400e Plug-in hybrid ... as you are on a roll with JLR? ... very interested is seeing it.
The interior does look nice but the stand out screens are just not my thing. I much prefer the new Audi or Mercedes interiors with the screens integrated into the dash. Particularly on the A6.
reviewers are normally completely distracted by the price point and misjudge jags - finally a reviewer that acknowledges that there is a disconnect between price and quality when trying to compare to other brands
The part between 8:25 - 8:40, could literally make for a short Jaguar ad.. 💯
Great review! Nice energy! 👍
How is it for “everyday” comfort? How does it handle bumps, ride over rough roads, round town?
Cool specs and color, great video!

Haha double paws up from Twiggy
Love love love it. Would go for one of the top end hybrids and an f type for the fun car. Great garage. It would suit you very very well
Thank you for the review of this Jag. And to have your little cute one sitting on the left seat is too cute.😘😘

This and the GLC63S are the top SUVs right now for the money. Sure the bentayga and urus are better but way more expensive.
1 💯
Lexus LX570 anyday 😍
X3M? That would be my pick, followed by the Jag, then the Merc.
Stelvio Quadrifolio
@@magnustan841 x3m is a 6 cylinder so not quite as unique imo, plus they ride unbelievably hard for a daily
Love the video and Jag content mate. Can I ask what brand that blue jacket is? Cheers from Oz.

I'm not even sure it isn't the case, tbh. Mercedes have done the same thing and it really does look like an after thought
Great job, Sam. These are cool cars, you're right.
Jaguar really have up there game with very stylish and quality vehicles. Definitely becoming a market leader!😍
The only influencer who consistently raves about Jags and I'm here for it!
I’d have it in that orange colour too. Lovely!!
This is very underrated and certainly very fun, worth the price tag
how do you find the Lumix S5 Sam? are you enjoying the FF goodness?
It seems to be shooting well.
Really enjoying it so far but still havent untapped its full potential
I know this video is a year old. I’m currently considering an SVR but have a few questions. First how’s the ride quality? Second, comfort of the seats? Lastly, 2022 F-Pace SVR or 2022 Macan GTS? Thanks
The race that was more exciting is the one during which the race cars made glorious noise.
Does the Stelvio Quadrifoglio never come into your thoughts when talking about the competition in this sector?
Are you a jaguar fan mate!? Wooooohoooo!
As an M40i owner, I very much fancy the new SVR…

gorgeous.....if it is mine...i spec it in british racing green but a bit deeper tone and dark wheels. definitely one of my fav suv.
This SUV is better than Aston Martin DBX.
Could this replace a sports car and family hauler?
Nice content.
Appreciated
Fantastic car, had one on test drive for a day three years ago (pre-facelift). Would have bought one if it wasn’t for the absolutely dire pre-sales service from the JLR dealer.
Fantastic video and such a stunning car. Would have one of these over an X3M any day! (And that’s coming from an X3 owner).
Nice video matey, at least your honest, no fake comments from Sam.
Not to hate on anyone, but Sam is regularly pulling off better cinematography than the whole ˋproduction bunker´
11:45 that unknown song though
You are 100% correct, and I completely agree with you on this. Cake is delicious!
What’s the song playing at the start please?
My dream garage ....... F-Pace SVR and a Series 1.5 E-Type Roadster.
Realizing it’s not in the same price-point, I’d like to see a comparison to a DBX or at least hear your thoughts on how, if at all, similar they are.
