...but it's the sexiest best looking in its class, and the class above it.

The RX just looks like a mutant.

It’s nice looking SUV, we kinda consider it but backed out when we saw the actual interior...

Maybe if they stopped promoting it in that ugly blue paint. I don't think blue sells well.

At its basic, interior is way too simple for premium brand. And that goes for most of their vehicles right now

Boasting Jaguar Land Rover's now-familiar supercharged 5.0-liter V8, the SVR produces 550 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. Jag estimates it'll hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 176 mph, which will make it one of the quickest and fastest SUVs on the road when it arrives in dealerships this summer.

It's not just the big engine, however. Upgraded mechanical improvements and enhancements include stiffer springs, wider and lighter forged alloy wheels (21- or 22 inches), bigger brakes (15.5-inch front, 15.6-inch rear), an electronic active rear differential, a variable active exhaust that's 14.5 pounds lighter than the standard one, and specially tuned software for the adaptive suspension, electric steering, eight-speed automatic, all-wheel drive and Dynamic Driving Mode.

Callum's team also massaged the aerodynamics with larger air intakes, rear bumper side strakes, and fender vents that lower pressure in the wheel arches to reduce lift and increase cooling. A unique hood features vents designed to, well, vent hot air from the engine compartment. There are also wheel arch extensions and lower body moldings to create a more muscular appearance, while the rear sees fat quad tailpipes that one would assume should bark and burp like any good Jaguar SVR.

Inside, there are thinner, light-weight sport seats done up in snazzy quilted leather. The rear seat also gets sportier seats with a similar fixed headrest design as those up front. The pistol-like sport gear selector shifter, as used in the Jaguar F-Type, replaces the standard rotary shifter design. It still takes up way too much room on the center console.

Pricing starts at $80,985. One would assume Mr. Callum will gets his for less than that.

One answer, Jaguar's poor history of reliability and build quality.

Same here - love the exterior and stance, but the price of admission for the cheap interior was a no-go. RX it was.

It should be immensely popular then, because it's got more room to store all the stuff you stole.

The F-Pace is a consistent seller (1-2K per month). It moves much faster than the rest of the lineup.

You cant’t get a RX with a V8, let alone with 550 HP. No Lexus has that much HP. At 80K, the SVR is a steal even with the perceived interior shortcomings. Furthermore, the RX is a mess exterior wise — all it offers is the interior.

It’s just not a very nice vehicle when you spend time with one and drive it in person. It’s a shame because it is beautiful...

I wouldn’t chose the RX because of styling and FWD layout but I’d choose a lot of luxury crossovers before I chose the F Pace.

It has nothing to do with reliability. Look at how Range Rovers sell lol

Have you test-driven one? I haven't yet. How do you feel about the interior? Except for the "J" shift-pattern, I'm a fan of the old-school Jaguar interiors and their beautiful rich wood trim and Connally leather...but I realize that they may be trying to reach out to a different market now.
