It’s not exactly politically correct, but major update to Jaguar’s F-PACE SVR makes it hugely relevant for fast SUV buyers
Jaguar F-PACE SVR
Right here and now
Just days after it revealed it would spend the next four years transitioning to a pure-electric brand, Jaguar arguably undid much of its good zero-emissions PR by launching the 2021 Jaguar F-PACE SVR.
Yes, it’s the same heavy V8-powered SUV that drinks fuel like Oliver Reed consumed beer, scotch and wine on New Year’s Eve.
Instead of quietly dropping it as part of the Jaguar luxury SUV’s facelift, or perhaps replacing it with downsized mild-hybrid powertrain, the British car-maker has done the opposite and gone all in.
2021 Jaguar I-Pace touches down in SA with enhanced range, infotainment

JOHANNESBURG - The Jaguar I-Pace electric car has been given an upgrade for 2021 and while itâs not one of those âLudicrousâ performance updates of the kind Elon Musk likes to brag about on Twitter, it is something that buyers with access to three-phase electricity will find rather useful.
Now available in South Africa, the 2021 Jaguar I-Pace comes with an 11kW on-board charger as standard, in addition to upgraded infotainment and driver assist features.
When connected to an 11kW wall box, owners can now achieve 53kW of (WLTP) range per hour, versus 35km per hour when connected to a conventional single-phase 7kW wall box. This, according to Jaguar, reduces the time it takes for a full charge from empty to 8.6 hours, from 12.75 hours.
