my neighbors say they enjoy the car, and whenever it starts up they think they're living next to James Bond. So I've got that goin for me, but I am very, very curious about the quiet start feature, near the bottom of the article

We can say, however, that the V-8's retuned exhaust is much more aurally subdued. On overrun, the outgoing V-8 cars always sounded like someone tossed a string of firecrackers into a drainage culvert—fun till the cops show up. There's still a snarl when you back off the throttle, but you no longer expect the exhaust to leave a trail of lightly smoldering shrubs in your wake. There's even a Quiet Start mode, so you can turn on the car without becoming the 575-hp rooster of your neighborhood. Dig deep enough into the throttle, though, and the pipes will open up regardless of the mode.

That's hilarious.... the choices being loud, or loud. I wasn't curious because I wanted it silent, but like the engineered controlled misfire, I would be curious on the engineering.
I guess I can just hold my exhaust button down and pretend.
And sorry Sin! =/ And we've a janky ******* and a car that has a rattling cat which makes the hairs stand up on their end, as it rolls through our quiet neighborhood, so I am not the only scofflaw.

I've got to imagine a software update could patch this, and add the behavior? It seems all that one needs to do is hold down the exhaust at startup. I might even try it on my 2019. Maybe it's there? Not likely. =)

I know this is an old thread, but is this feature actually a thing?
I tried holding down the exhaust button as I'm starting the vehicle like it says to in the linked review video above and I notice no difference at all. I love this car, but I like to wash my car super early on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and I do feel reluctant to do so given how loud it is...lol
I looked in the manual and cannot find anything about a "quiet start mode". Perhaps I missed it, or the instructions in the review are wrong?
Anyone?

As far as I recall, the MY21 and later cars have the quiet start enabled by default. It can be overridden but not by the methods some of these reviewers suggest - you have to engage 'ignition' mode first (press the engine start button with your foot off the brake pedal), put the car into 'Dynamic' or press the exhaust button once and then start the engine.
EDIT: Confirmed on this Jaguar dealer's website
"If desired, Quiet Start can be over-ridden by selecting Dynamic Mode or by pressing the switchable exhaust button before starting the engine."

Sounds like the best and only plan really. Not sure how much it will help the immediate neighbour, but the majority might have a better experience ;-)
I find this new car loud with this default quiet start. The first gen cars must be insane on startup in comparison.

I wonder if that is good for the car? Is there a reason it raises the rpms beyond "sounding great"?
