As Jaguar shifts gears toward an all-electric future, the F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition stands as one of the last great gas-powered statements from the brand’s now non-existent performance wing. It’s not just a luxury SUV with a loud exhaust; it’s a curated swan song for the legendary 5.0-litre supercharged V8, refined into one final crescendo before combustion fades from the Jaguar lineup. With more power, bespoke styling touches, and a production cap that guarantees exclusivity, the F-Pace SVR 575 isn’t just an SUV but a it’s a collector’s send-off.
Overview
The SVR 575 Ultimate is more than a spec bump. It’s the most powerful and fastest iteration of the F-Pace SUV ever made, and it marks the end of the V8 era for Jaguar SUVs. The core remains familiar: the Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division has taken the regular SVR and injected it with more power, slightly sharper responses, and a touch of finality. It’s a luxury performance SUV that’s unafraid to growl, but it’s also polished enough to be driven daily without any fatigue.
Despite being a performance-focused machine, the SVR 575 doesn’t trade away refinement or usability. It keeps Jaguar’s quiet ride, usable cargo space, and on-road comfort intact, all while hiding an aggressive mechanical personality just beneath the surface.
Design
Visually, the SVR 575 doesn’t rewrite the F-Pace’s design but elevates it with subtle but effective cues. The exterior features gloss black detailing, unique 22-inch forged alloy wheels, and SV-exclusive paint finishes such as “Gloss Ultraviolet” and “Ligurian Black Satin.”
The front end retains its muscular jaguar look, with larger intakes feeding the V8’s appetite and active aero components designed for high-speed stability. Around the back, quad tailpipes and a functional diffuser signal this isn’t a regular F-Pace. A few subtle “575” badges and darkened trim pieces are all that separate this edition visually from the standard SVR, making it more of a sleeper than an extrovert, though the sound gives it away almost instantly.
Interior
Inside, the SVR 575 Ultimate feels tailored and premium. Jaguar has gone all out on the materials, quilted Windsor leather upholstery, extended Alcantara touches, and carbon fibre inlays dominate the cabin. The 14-way performance seats offer excellent support without being overly stiff, and SV branding is embroidered throughout to mark its exclusivity.
A fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a crisp 11.4-inch infotainment system offer modern, relevant tech, while features like a Meridian surround system, ambient lighting, and wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay keep the luxury experience intact. The steering wheel remains thick and sculpted, with tactile aluminium paddles hinting at the performance underfoot. Despite its aggressive leanings, the cabin is still a Jaguar at heart, meaning quiet, refined, and surprisingly spacious.
Powertrain and Performance
The headline figure here is baked into the name. Jaguar’s venerable 5.0-litre supercharged V8 has been retuned to deliver 567 HP and 700 NM of torque, making this the most potent F-Pace ever built. Power is sent to all four wheels via a recalibrated 8-speed automatic transmission, which delivers lightning-quick shifts and aggressive downshifts in Dynamic mode.
The result is a 0–100 KM/H time of 3.8 seconds, faster than many dedicated sports cars, and an electronically limited top speed of 286 km/h. The SVR’s suspension has been retuned with stiffer dampers and revised chassis software, sharpening body control without ruining ride comfort.
Pricing
The Jaguar F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition is priced around AED 570,000 to AED 600,000, depending on options and availability. Given its limited global production (reportedly under 400 units), expect premiums in some markets. Direct rivals include the BMW X5 M Competition, Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S, and the Porsche Cayenne GTS, though the F-Pace trades outright badge clout for rarity and raw character.
Verdict – Goodbye, Good Old Jaguar
The Jaguar F-Pace SVR 575 Ultimate Edition is exactly what its name implies: the ultimate form of a high-performance Jaguar SUV. It’s loud, fast, and deeply engaging, but also rare and surprisingly refined as a jaguar should be.
It may not match the badge prestige of some German rivals, but it counters with character, and in its final form, the F-Pace SVR finally feels like a complete package. Jaguar’s transition to electric is underway, and this V8 symphony won’t be heard for much longer.
For those who still want one last taste of pure British Jaguar muscle wrapped in a luxury shell, this might be your final call. This is a goodbye to one of the most iconic automotive brands of all time, and we’re going to miss it.
