As BMW M, Mercedes AMG, Audi Sport (RS, S Series) and other luxury performance sub-brands, Jaguar Land Rover in recent years also actively communicate brand of high-performance cars in the series. 2014, Jaguar Land Rover restart Special Vehicle Special Vehicle Operations department (abbreviated SVO), Jaguar Land Rover in the UK Warwickshire (Warwickshire) build a leading vehicle technology development center. And unlike competitors focus only performance, SVO department dedicated more than ultra-high performance cars, but we also take into account the development of top-customized vehicles, providing exclusive responsibility of customized services, so SVO’s cars tend to emphasize both luxury and high performance characteristics, and strive to create a set of luxury, performance and functionality in one product.
So SVO special vehicles department serves the current according to attribute a total of three major branches, respectively, provide luxurious texture and top performance “SVAutobiography” pursuit of extreme performance “SVR”, as well as deliver the ultimate all-terrain capabilities “SVX.” In recent years, three major branches of SVO, individually developed as Range Rover SVAutobiography, Range Rover Sport SVR, FType SVR, Discovery SVX and other indicators of cars.
and on April 2018 New York Auto Show stage, SVO department for the Jaguar F-Pace cars, the introduction of top performance flagship SUV called the F-Pace SVR, which is equipped with after adjustment SVO sector supercharged 5.0 liter V8 engine, the power output 550 of the violent. The F-Pace SVR is mainly aimed at rival BMW X3 M, Mercedes AMG GLC 63 4Matic +, Porsche Macan Turbo and other competing products. Test group by means of a test drive F-Pace SVR, to inquire whether there is a fight with the opponent’s strength!
even more eccentric appearance, style Kuiwu domineering filling
From the appearance point of view, F-Pace SVR compared to dynamic models of cars such as ships 25T, 30T, while maintaining the wheelbase 2,874mm, but slightly enlarged in body size, length and breadth 4,737×2,071×1,670, slightly longer compared to regular vehicles 6mm, slightly higher than 4mm, and thus also with set for F-Pace SVR to Kuiwu domineering momentum. F-Pace SVR comes standard with integrated intelligent high beam active LED headlights, grille frame festooned with gray trim, in addition to the central plant red emblem integration ACC radar, more exclusive SVR word recognition status. Also under the air dam and the general shape of different models, 3 shift to the intake port design, the center of the air dam gray trim frame also has other, more integrated security bar below the wing.
vehicle side part, F-Pace SVR but also has to demonstrate its power “leopard” interpretation insolent qualities. Standard models preceding sheet original is the use of a low profile leaf black trim, fold line with the car side, but on the SVR was significantly different from vehicle, which changed to a large area of the gray vertical fin spoiler fin and the ventilation hole design, the vertical fold line significantly sheet member holding front bumper than the general three-dimensional model, the front and rear frame, the lower side of the vehicle side skirts gray trim also connected to the above-described SVR are all unique appearance package. The first step of the rim 21 taken dynamic convergence silver color cutting 5-inch aluminum ring, compared with a tire tread performance Pirelli P Zero, also equipped with front and rear brake calipers performance version of red, increase ventilation of the disk, is sufficient to demonstrate its extraordinary identity.
F-Pace SVR also unique in the rear, not only has the rear spoiler increase, below the rear bumper protection to more shaped vertical fins ㄈ hole integrated reflectors designed to echo the style sheet before the leaves, trim the gray bar at the Paul, with bilateral dual exhaust tailpipes, plus SVR nameplate and exclusive red paint, declare that to the outside world in “ruthless roles” in nature, groupThis is easily decorated on its other F-Pace general different on the road.
Interior to maintain the pattern of cars, but to strengthen the sports atmosphere through the many exclusive suite SVR
into the interior of the F-Pace SVR, a first greeted, the whole car is a large area to take multiple paprika-coated interior, which is in the lower half of the center console and door trim, central saddle, seat, etc. begin festooned with bright red, with ebony black suede headliner class, really creating a atmosphere full of blood. SVR below the steering wheel has a unique identification words, though the overall disc diameter is small, is still considered a solid grip, has a more rearward tactile aluminum metal paddles, the spoke about the push-button control keys (including ACC system, etc.) Although not new, but are fairly easy to operate, also comes standard with steering wheel heating.
F-Pace SVR and a console interface is substantially identical with the general model that whenever digital meter 12.3 inches, the central 10 inches InControl Touch Pro are very familiar with the touch screen. In the digital dashboard, SVR models exclusive words, but also in the frame with blue visual effects (a comfortable driving mode), over the more general standard models to be subject to an optional heads-up display, but its SVR due to head-up display models in addition to identity and feel with a color shift in the color rendering, modeling the movement of the visual effects, quite unique.
10-inch screen in the control and the latest generation of Jaguar cars and the like, such as I-Pace same, original integrated navigation and developing Views more support Apple carPlay connection, enough to par with rivals such as the BMW X3 M, but the screen is not a mirror capacitive design, such as two-finger zoom operation speed is not like a brand new generation of models as quickly. The bottom of the screen layout control multiple keys, nor like a dual screen technology of I-Pace, but the benefits are still operating quite convenient. The knob is not at the gear-type seat using SportShift Selector gear type transmission line, but the driving mode switching button layout around, somewhat intuitive enough, the 380-watt audio Meridian has a good listening experience.
F-Pace SVR SVR using proprietary Windsor Leather front lozenge leather-wrapped, in addition to a distinct words headrest SVR, red black coke visual texture, in the coating of the support are quite good properties, but also support ventilation heating function, heating function of the rear seat is also standard. F-Pace SVR and the rear seat in addition to general electric No adjustment model, and the rest of the layout are the same in general F-Pace, author 178 centimeters tall occupant knee space under the fist two head means 4, comparison X3 M, GLC 63 et par rival operator.
550 horsepower output is good, V8 supercharger noise also enjoy
[123 ] F-Pace SVR as an abdominal large displacement 5.0 liters V8 supercharged engine, in particular vehicle sector SVO tuning team may be at 6,000 to 6,500 rpm maximum horsepower output of 550, as the maximum torque of 680N. m is in the 2,500 to 5,500 rpm for transmission, and with SportShift Selector 8-speed manual gearbox, four intelligent drive system, the original data is displayed in 4.3 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km per hour, the speed up to 283 kilometers per hour.
F-Pace SVR actually control it, can clearly perceive first and heated to vigorous conventional V8 supercharged engine noise, in particular in the vicinity of the original holder further gear provide a proactive variable exhaust valve switch, after turning on the exhaust pipe will be coming at a more pronounced “Pa Pa Pa” back pressure voices, create considerable bloodPerformance atmosphere, after opening the road at all times Pedestrian “salute.” Of course, I would recommend if passing through or community, or transferred back to the standard mode is like the valve, in order to avoid disturbing neighbors ….
In addition comes the traditional “V8 movement” noise outside, SVR output up to 550 horsepower, there is a sense of violent and posted back at low rpm, give full play to machinery supercharged engine low to high torsional advantage; but ductility at high power transfer is also very good, with rapid downshift response 8-speed automatic, high re-acceleration also did not turn the skills needed. Compared to the previous author rival BMW test drive X4 M Competition, F-Pace SVR higher power output than its 510 /600N.m, the vehicle weight is only up to 25 kilograms (F-Pace SVR is 1,995 kg, X4 M Competition is 1,970 kg), the overall acceleration feel does not have much difference, F-Pace SVR actually less turbo lag, have a more agile low-speed output performance.
test group are found to accelerate the enclosed site, F-Pace SVR and X4 M Competition stationary acceleration to the original data 100 km per hour were 4.3 seconds and 4.1 seconds , the F-Pace SVR fastest 4.31 seconds, with the previous measured X4 M Competition of 4.28 seconds magnitude. The F-Pace SVR driving modes are provided in the “rain / ice / snow”, “fuel-efficient Eco”, “comfort”, “dynamic” a total of four modes, which have since SVR with Adaptive active electronic suspension, so main menu “Dynamic-i ‘functions, in addition for engine, steering, gearbox 2-stage adjustment, the suspension may also choose to comfort / track two kinds of Dan.
and under careful observation I found that F-Pace SVR suspension actually take into account certain driving comfort, whether it is comfortable, not trackIt will make passenger discomfort, whereas opponents X4 M Competition are quite evident in any mode of jumping sense, both in the product set has a great difference. If it is fun chassis dynamic terms, F-Pace SVR does not compare favorably, factory adjusted to emphasize its spring suspension, respectively before and after the hardening of the percentage of 30 and 10 percentage, and the same anti-roll bar is hardened to reduce 5 the percentage of cornering roll, with faster steering response and more agile dynamic. In the actual control process F-Pace SVR does have considerable reaction stunning, irrespective of roll suppression, front directional agility positioning are sufficient to meet the performance SUV, the EAD active electronic rear axle differential without leaving its sense too messy heavy, braking is also sufficient, body weight and size only slightly restricted dynamic performance in a narrow mountain road.
provided with the driving support portion, in addition to deal with low-friction road surface assist start ASPC all terrain, and HDC Hill Descent uphill start assist systems, comprising a full field ACC (4-vehicle distance adjusting section / 20 kilometers per hour or more is set), the LKA auxiliary lane offset, the AEB automatic braking, BSA blind spot detection, 360 degree view of the developing are readily available, and is a wholly standard cars, compared opponents X3 M, X4 M Competition must separate option has advantages. But F-Pace Group all cars failed to carry the Level 2 active lane keeping, it is more unfortunate place.
Strength performance SUV, owned “leopard” enjoy the performance of music
In conclusion, Jaguar F-Pace SVR indeed strength is the performance SUV war, compared to rival the BMW X3 M, X4 M Competition, even GLC 63 4Matic +, GLC 63 S 4Matic + Coupeacute ;, have advantages in price, with can also compete with them. Despite stereotypes of the brand, I believe that if it has this level of performance luxury SUV models, the Jaguar F-Pace SVR is one of the preferred list can be fit into a pocket.
