The facelifted Jaguar F-PACE SVR will be based on the same platform as the current-generation model. The car is likely to get a revised front fascia featuring new panels as well as grille, wider air inlets, and updated headlamps. It will come with angular-looking alloy wheels, a roof-mounted spoiler, and quad exhausts. Dimensions-wise, the car will remain the same as the outgoing variant.

Inside the cabin
Not much is known about the interiors of the F-PACE SVR as of now. However, quite the outgoing model, it will offer a five-seater cabin with leather upholstery and SVR-specific multifunctional steering wheel.

Further, it is likely to retain the safety features of the current-generation variant.
