They extract heat from the engine bay, but also look the part. That intent is written all over the SVR, not just to enhance its looks but to aid in either cooling or aerodynamics. You get a very different Big Cat from the rest of the F-Pace stable, and arguably one of the nicest looking SUVs on the market – one that oozes class as well as serious intent. It’s priced from $164,600 before on-road costs, more than $24,000 atop the Jaguar’s asking price.Ĭloser to the mark is the $142,000 Porsche Macan Turbo with a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 making 324kW and 550N, good for the same zero-100km/h performance as the SVR, but its a lot smaller inside. It’s well priced at $99,900 before on-roads, but its 3.0-litre turbo-six only makes 260kW and 500Nm.īMW has the X3 M Competition that uses 3.0-litre inline twin-turbo six with 375kW and 600Nm, with a price tag of $157,900 before on-roads, while Mercedes-Benz steps into the ring with its GLC 63 AMG with the same 375kW but a handier 700Nm of torque. Interestingly, Audi doesn’t really have much of a play here with its SQ5 TFSI. The usual German suspects pack a fait bit of heat under the bonnet, too.
