It costs how much?!?!
- The Jaguar F-PACE SVR brings a robust V8 engine to an SUV that's already the best looking in the market.
- I thought the Jaguar F-PACE SVR would be priced closer to vehicles such as the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
- I was wrong - the F-PACE SVR is power on a budget without sacrificing an ounce of style.

Jaguar's first-ever SUV, the F-PACE, arrived in 2016. It was an immediate success, and it proved that an SUV could be extremely lovely, just as Jaguar's cars have long been.

More we got: a 550-horsepower supercharged V8, boasting 502 pound-feet of scrumptious torque. In other words, Jag turned up the volume, significantly.
But Jag didn't turn up the sticker price, at least not by all that much. I sampled this F-PACE SVR for a week in suburban New Jersey.
