2024 SVR opinions

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am considering ordering a 2024 F pace SVR and i’m trying to decide between the all leather seats and the suede two-tone. Any opinions advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, what about the sunglasses storage? I am going from a 2017 XE to a F Pace so any advise and opinions are welcome.

My personal choice is LEATHER all the way. Very easy to clean, just wipe it with water and done.
The reason I don't like suede is it will accumulate dirt overtime. Your worst nightmare is when someone accidentally spill soda or ketchup or mustard or something of that nature to it. One would say "From now on, I wouldn't eat a Cheese Burger inside an SVR"![Icon Badrazz](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_badrazz.gif)
I've never been inside an F-Pace SVR, so I don't have any knowldege if it has an overhead sunglass storage. I hope it does.

Congrats on the choice. It's an outstanding car. I've had my 2023 SVR for about 4 months and 4000 miles and am delighted with it. I came from a 2010 XF V8. Similar power and performance but a lot more stable with AWD (rather than FWD) and of course the tech and refinement is another level
I looked at the half suede option as it was in the car I test drove. I was not a fan - it seems cheap in a luxury car, I was worried how it might age (I keep my cars for a while) and it was a brown/black combo with quite an orangey appearance
I'm sure it's a matter of taste. Apparently they don't feel as hot in summer and cold in winter so some benefits. But it wasn't my taste
What other options are you considering?

The older Jaguars tend to crack on the leather seats and I noticed that too on older Land Rovers, Volvos, BMWs and Saab as well. The newer ones with leather seats seems to be solid and tend not to crack on models starting 2010 and beyond on all makes avd models.

I find the current speed and speed limit super useful. It makes driving much easier - just look at the road ahead. The other info is a nice to have.

On leather I had a 2010 XF which I traded a few months ago for the F Pace. Light 'oyster' leather package and still looked new after 13 years. I never ate food in it and was careful but it had me and kids in it frequently. I wiped it off when dirty but didn't do much in the way of conditioning or formal 'care'. Seemed very resilient
For the F Pace I wanted black exterior and the all white leather interior. But none in stock anywhere at the time and jag wasn't taking new orders so I jumped on a black and black. The black all leather inside is nice - but I think the all white leather is a sharper look
I have the all red extended leather in my F Type. It's bold but I love the color. Think your choice of red and black would be a good one as it's prob a bit more muted. Or the black/white
My main observation - when you're driving the car you don't really see the seat color anyway. So it's really preference around what 'does it's for you.

On the HUD - I got it in my wife's Land Rover about 5 years ago. A bit of a gimmick I thought, but I love it. Not distracting at all. Shows the speed you are going (never need to glance down at the dashboard console again), also shows the speed limit (super helpful if you can't remember if you're in a 65 or 55 for example). In sport it shows the gear and revs. And the F Pace flashes up the song name whenever new song starts. You can change and configure all of that. If you use the factory nav I think it can give you turn directions but I do waze on CarPlay
