So what do you do when, as a small British car manufacturer, you see German brands having great success with performance SUVs such as the Mercedes GLC 63 or the Audi SQ5? Why, you go in for a slice of the same pie, but in a uniquely Jaguar way. The real question is, can the F-Pace SVR can conjure up the same magic that fast Jaguar … [Read more...] about High-paced: Jaguar launches its first hot SUV
