The verdict

What's good

550 hp V8 in a family SUV body remains a uniquely British performance absurdity that works brilliantly
Final year of any ICE Jaguar makes this a significant collector piece for the brand
Air suspension adapts from firm sport mode to compliant motorway mode seamlessly
Cabin feel and material quality noticeably higher than F-Pace standard trims

What's not

JLR's reliability record in this era places it below class average in Consumer Reports data
Depreciation on V8 F-Pace is steep — residuals sit 8-10 points below German rivals
V8 fuel consumption on combined driving makes it expensive for an everyday family car
Discontinuation means warranty support will eventually shift to independent specialists only

The engine

AJ-V8

Supercharged V8

A thunderous, instantly responsive supercharged V8 with a snarling, crackling exhaust note that defined the F-Type R's brutal, old-school character and explosive low-end shove.

The AJ133 5.0L is the modern peak of Jaguar's AJ-V8 family, an engine line Jaguar fought Ford to design in-house; it debuted in 2009 and was championed by Jaguar engineering director Clive Ennos.

The AJ-V8 was only the fourth all-new engine type in Jaguar's history, and in 1997 it replaced both the straight-six AJ16 and the legendary Jaguar V12 in one stroke.
When Ford closed the Bridgend plant in September 2020, Jaguar Land Rover took over the supercharged V8's production means to keep the engine alive in-house.
The supercharged AJ133 uses a roots-type blower nestled in the V of the engine for near-instant throttle response with no turbo lag.
