Jaguar F-Pace

When Jaguar commenced work on the F-Pace SVR project around two years ago, the development team focused on ensuring it would stand tall against some of the best and brightest family haulers. Speaking to media at the global launch of the F-Pace SVR in Saint Tropez, Jaguar lead dynamics engineer Ross Restell said the company had clear goals about where the car needed to be positioned.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has become the latest automaker to be called out over excessive emissions, with the British firm under fire from authorities for select models built between 2014 and 2018. A new report by industry journal, Automotive News Europe, the European Union's Safety Gate Rapex claims JLR vehicles with 2.0-litre engines (both petrol and diesel) may emit "excessive levels of CO2 and may not conform with the certified condition".

Jaguar has recalled its XE and XF sedans, F-Pace and E-Pace crossovers and F-Type coupe, over concerns the fuel rails on 2.0-litre Ingenium four-cylinder engines weren't manufactured correctly. According to the company, the issue could increase the risk of fuel vapour or liquid leaks in the engine bay. If the problem occurs, there's a risk fuel could come into contact with hot engine components – creating a fire risk.
