2023 Jaguar F-Pace SVR Safety and Reliability

Neither the NHTSA nor the IIHS has conducted a review of the Jaguar F-Pace or the SVR variant. It received a full five-star rating from Euro NCAP, though it has to be said that European crash tests are not as stringent as US-based tests. Still, it gives us some insight into how safe the F-Pace is.

The F-Pace comes standard with front, front side, and full-length side window curtain airbags. It also has the obligatory ABS, traction and stability control, regular cruise control with a speed limiter, and rearview camera.

Thankfully, Jaguar doesn't charge you anything extra for the more advanced features either. The F-Pace SVR boasts emergency braking, blind-spot assist, a 3D surround-view camera, driver condition monitoring, lane keep assist, front and rear parking assist, rear cross-traffic assist, traffic sign recognition with an adaptive speed limiter, and adaptive cruise control. Automatic parking can be included for $300 and a head-up display costs $1,050, with the latter being standard on the Edition 1988.

When it comes to reliability, Jaguar Land Rover's quality issues are well-documented and reflected in reviews of the F-Pace and the SVR derivatives. While there are no recalls for 2023 models at the time of writing, 2022 F-Pace models were recalled three times for issues including missing audio safety features, seat belt pretensioners not working properly, and improperly illuminated rear turn signals. 2021 had fewer recalls and covered some of these issues, too.

Every F-Pace is covered by five-year/60,000-mile comprehensive and powertrain warranties, including roadside assistance for the same time period/distance. As a bonus, Jaguar also includes a maintenance plan that matches the above.
