Jaguar’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division has given us some of the most entertaining and audacious performance machines over the years. And in 2025, the Jaguar F-PACE SVR continues the tradition of blending luxury, brute force, and a little bit of hooliganism—all wrapped up in a stylish SUV package.
For Canadian drivers, the F-PACE SVR offers a unique mix of all-season capability and adrenaline-pumping power, making it an appealing alternative to the usual German suspects. Let’s break it down, shall we?
Powertrain: Under the hood, Jaguar refuses to bow to downsizing pressure. Instead, they’ve kept the glorious 5.0-litre supercharged V8, which still cranks out 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That means this SUV can launch from 0-100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds—perfect for merging onto the 401 like a heat-seeking missile.
The 8-speed automatic transmission is snappy and responsive, delivering power to all four wheels through Jaguar’s AWD system, which is ideal for our unpredictable winters. Plus, the adaptive drive modes adjust for snow and ice, meaning you can have some (responsible) fun when the roads get slick.
Oh, and that quad-exhaust system? It sounds like a thunderstorm rolling in, even at idle. It’s a shame remote start is limited in some Canadian provinces—because waking up the neighborhood at 6 a.m. would be a fantastic way to start your day.
Exterior: Jaguar hasn’t drastically altered the design for 2025, but why mess with a good thing? The F-PACE SVR looks as menacing as ever, with a sculpted hood, massive black mesh grille, and revised LED headlights that give it an even sharper glare.
Jaguar now offers 22-inch forged alloy wheels, but let’s be honest—those will be sitting in the garage for half the year while a set of winter tires takes over. Luckily, it still looks mean on 20-inch winters. The new aero tweaks and wider air intakes add both style and function, keeping that beastly V8 cool even when you’re pushing it on a crisp fall morning.
And yes, the quad-exhaust tips are real, unlike the fake vents you see on some German competitors.
Interior: The F-PACE SVR’s cabin is a proper mix of performance and elegance. You get suede, carbon fibre, and premium Windsor leather throughout, plus heated and ventilated sports seats that are perfect for those minus-30 mornings. Jaguar has even thrown in a heated steering wheel as standard—because nothing ruins a morning commute faster than an ice-cold steering wheel.
Space-wise, the F-PACE SVR is more than practical for Canadian families. Rear seat room is generous, and the 650-litre cargo capacity means there’s plenty of space for hockey bags, ski gear, or a Canadian Tire run.
Infotainment: Jaguar’s infotainment used to be the Achilles’ heel of its vehicles, but for the most part, those days are over. The 2025 F-PACE SVR comes with the latest Pivi Pro infotainment system, featuring an 11.4-inch curved touchscreen that’s fast, responsive, and—praise be—no longer laggy. Unfortunately, the screen display is still lacking when it comes to offering a colourful interface, but functionality is good.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, so you can stream your music and navigate through Toronto traffic without needing to plug in a cable. Plus, the Meridian sound system is spectacular, whether you’re listening to classic rock or a podcast about why the Leafs will “definitely” win the Cup this year.
Driveability: The F-PACE SVR isn’t just about brute force—it’s actually incredibly well-balanced. The adaptive suspension has been further refined for 2025, making it just as happy carving through mountain roads as it is cruising through downtown Vancouver.
The all-wheel drive system is confidence-inspiring, especially when the weather turns nasty. The SVR might be performance-focused, but it’s surprisingly composed in bad weather, making it one of the few performance SUVs you can truly enjoy year-round in Canada.
Of course, fuel economy isn’t exactly its strong suit (it’s rated at a polite-but-thirsty 14.5 L/100 km combined), but let’s be real—no one buying an SVR is worried about gas prices.

Conclusion: In a world where turbocharged V6s and hybrids are taking over, the 2025 Jaguar F-PACE SVR stands out as a defiant last hurrah for old-school performance SUVs. It’s loud, it’s powerful, and it doesn’t care about being politically correct—it just wants to go fast and look good doing it.
For Canadian buyers, it offers a unique blend of year-round usability, luxury, and sheer driving excitement. It’s not the most practical or fuel-efficient SUV, but if you’re in the market for a performance machine that can handle our four seasons while making every drive feel special, the F-PACE SVR is worth every penny.
