The Jaguar SV82G – Petrol is a 4,999 cc, supercharged V8 engine produced between 2013 and 2019. It forms part of Jaguar's AJ — V8 Gen IV series, featuring dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), 32 — valve configuration, and direct fuel injection. In standard tune it delivered 375 kW (510 PS) and 625 Nm of torque, providing strong low — end response and high — RPM performance.
Fitted to models such as the XJ (X351), F — Type (X152), and XFR — S, the SV82G – Petrol was engineered for high — perf…

All production years (2013–2019) meet Euro 6 emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/8901).
The Jaguar SV82G – Petrol is a 4,999 cc supercharged V8 engine engineered for high-performance luxury and sports applications (2013–2019). It combines DOHC 32-valve architecture with direct fuel injection and a Roots-type supercharger to deliver strong low-end torque and high-RPM power. Designed to meet Euro 6 standards, it balances performance with emissions compliance.

The Jaguar SV82G – Petrol was used across Jaguar's X351/X152 platforms with longitudinal mounting and shared design principles with Land Rover for potential transverse adaptation studies. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-shortened intake manifolds in the F-Type and revised exhaust manifolds in the XJ-and from 2016 the updated XFR-S models adopted higher-output variants with revised supercharger calibration, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
The SV82G – Petrol's primary reliability risk is supercharger impeller wear on early builds, with elevated incidence in track or high-speed use. Internal Jaguar quality reports from 2017 indicated a notable share of pre-2016 engines requiring supercharger rebuilds before 110,000 km, while UK DVSA records link a significant portion of emissions-related MOT failures to direct injector coking in high-mileage vehicles. Extended idling and delayed oil changes increase supercharger and chain stress, making oil quality and interval adherence critical.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The SV82G – Petrol delivers strong performance and aggressive power delivery, but early models (2013-2015) had reliability concerns, especially supercharger impeller wear. Later revisions (post-2016) improved lubrication durability, so well-maintained examples can be quite robust. Regular servicing and using high-quality oil (Jaguar WSS-M2C947-B) greatly aid longevity.
The biggest issues are supercharger impeller wear (leading to reduced boost or power loss), direct injector coking affecting idle quality, and lambda sensor degradation causing emissions failures. Other complaints include coolant leaks from thermostat housing and occasional PCV system faults. These are well-documented in Jaguar service bulletins.
This 5.0L supercharged V8 petrol engine was used primarily in the XJ (X351, 2013-2019), F-Type (X152, 2013-2019), and XF (X250, 2014-2016). It was not used in Land Rover production models, though design studies considered adaptation for performance variants.
Yes. ECU remaps can yield +30-50 kW safely by optimizing boost pressure and ignition timing. Aftermarket headers, exhaust systems, and upgraded intercoolers provide additional gains. However, the supercharger has limits, and over-tuning without supporting mods risks premature impeller or engine damage.
Moderate. In an F-Type R 5.0 from around 2015, typical consumption is ~16.5 L/100km (city) and ~9.5 L/100km (highway), or about 21 mpg UK combined. Real-world figures will depend on driving style, but expect 18-22 mpg (UK) on mixed roads for a healthy SV82G – Petrol engine.
Yes. The SV82G – Petrol is an interference engine. This means if the timing chain fails or jumps, pistons can strike open valves, causing severe internal damage. That's why regular inspection of the chain and tensioner is critical—any unusual noises should be investigated immediately.
Jaguar specifies a 5W-30 synthetic oil meeting Jaguar WSS-M2C947-B spec. Always use a quality oil designed for supercharged petrol engines and change it at regular intervals (around 12,000 km or as Jaguar recommends) to ensure proper supercharger and chain lubrication.
