2023 F-Pace SVR Interior
Jaguar's latest interior maintains decent build quality and luxury ambiance but streamlines the way the driver and passengers interact with the various standard features. The interior is tech rich and most of the buttons have been replaced with an 11.4-inch touchscreen interface, although the climate control and drive mode settings are separately housed near the shifter. Model-specific interior features include bright metal pedals, an SVR steering wheel with zinc-alloy shift paddles, SVR carpets, and SVR metal treadplates. Jaguar did a splendid job of keeping the aging F-Pace up to date in a highly competitive market, and the unique Edition 1988 has bespoke interior accents to make it even more desirable.

Seating and Interior Space
The Jaguar F-Pace SVR is strictly a five-seater with no third-row option. Since none of the high-performance competitors offer additional seating, there is no trade-off with the Jag or its SVR variant. Legroom is generous in the F-Pace, just about outmeasuring the BMW X3 with 77.5 inches of combined legroom. A generous 40.3 of those inches are dedicated to making front riders happy, but the rear only accommodates a mediocre 37.2 inches. The SVR's rear seats resemble the front buckets, giving an awesome appearance at the expense of comfort. As we will see later on, the Jag's emphasis on passenger space results in below-average cargo capacity.

Interior Colors and Materials
Windsor leather performance seats with Alcantara are standard, available in four color schemes. The most sedate option is Ebony Windsor leather combined with Ebony suede cloth and Ebony interior inserts. The three remaining colors have more character. Mars Red leather and Ebony trim looks fantastic, while the Sienna Tan and Ebony blend give the interior a luxury feel. Jag's Light Oyster leather and Ebony blend is a bit too shouty, even for a car that makes this much noise. For an additional $1,150, you can upgrade to semi-aniline leather performance seats, available only in Ebony or Light Oyster.
Embossed aluminum trim is standard with every color option, but carbon fiber can be included for $1,300. There are some other lovely quality touches like the interactive driver's display which is wrapped in Alcantara and the zinc-alloy shift paddles feel great to the touch. The special Edition 1988 model comes with semi-aniline leather in Ebony with Sunset Gold Satin detailing across the dashboard, steering wheel, and shifter. These models feature open-port carbon fiber accents in the cabin.
2023 F-Pace SVR Trunk and Cargo Space
The F-Pace has a 31.5 cubic-foot trunk, well below the midsize BMW X5 M and slightly below the compact BMW X3 M. Fold the rear seats forward in a 40/20/40 split, and the cargo capacity increases to 69.1 cubes, more than the X3 but less than the X5. At least the trunk opening is wide, measuring 43 inches.
Interior storage is better than last year's model. You get a nice smartphone cubby underneath the climate control buttons, another storage space with a sliding cover, and some slightly obscured storage space underneath the center armrest. Rear passengers get two cupholders hidden in the middle seat seatback.

2023 F-Pace SVR Infotainment and Features
Features
The SVR sits at the top of the F-Pace range, which is already marketed as a luxury SUV. That means it gets all of the luxury trimmings and then some. Exterior features include premium LED lights with auto high-beam assist, headlight power washers, a power panoramic sunroof, heated side mirrors with auto-dimming on the driver's side, keyless entry, and a power tailgate.
Moving inside, the SVR comes with 14-way heated and ventilated front seats with a memory function, a heated leather steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, push-button start, as well as a power tailgate. Noteworthy driver assist features include blind-spot monitoring, a 3D surround-view camera, traffic sign recognition with an adaptive speed limiter, and a driver condition monitor. Lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and front/rear parking sensors round out the safety suite. A head-up display is standard on the Edition 1988.
Infotainment
Jaguar's infotainment technology was frustrating and outdated before, but now it is among our favorite systems. A new Pivi Pro system runs on a standard 11.4-inch touchscreen with snappy responses and a smartphone-like user interface. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both available wirelessly, and the infotainment system can pair to two Bluetooth phones at the same time - no more fighting with your spouse on who gets to connect to the car. A Wi-Fi-enabled data plan is available for $500. Both SiriusXM satellite radio and HD Radio are included. Intelligent navigation with Real Time Traffic info will get you to your destination as conveniently as possible, while the SVR comes with a 12.3-inch interactive driver display as well.
A standard Meridian audio system packs 12 speakers and a dual-channel subwoofer, while a surround sound upgrade adds four additional speakers.
