The Jaguar name is synonymous with luxury and elegance. While their sports cars and sedans often take center stage, the Jaguar SUV lineup is not to be underestimated.
The Jaguar E-Pace and F-Pace are practical and versatile luxury SUVs, but we can’t forget that this vehicle brand is anything but average. Every detail is thought out, and every element is given a touch of class and quality–but how do you know which Jaguar SUV is right for you?
Keep reading as we break down each SUV, from its design to performance capabilities, and find out which one holds the crown as the reigning SUV.
Interior Features
The true beauty of Jaguar models lies in the design of their cabins. Every aspect of the interior was carefully designed, emphasizing comfort, ease, and quality.
F-Pace Interior: Simplicity is Key
Within the F-Pace, simple detailing has created a minimalistic approach to elegance. The front-seat legroom and headroom rank among the roomiest in this SUV’s class and the driving experience is enhanced by easy-to-reach controls and the optional 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display (IDD) and Head-up Display.
Other notable features inside the F-Pace include:
- 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats
- Wireless charging pad
- Cabin Air Purification System
- Driver Assist Package
- 11.4-inch curved touchscreen
- Alexa voice control capabilities
E-Pace Interior: Close Attention to Comfort
The E-Pace takes high-tech design cues from the F-Pace, featuring an 11.4-inch touchscreen and an optional Head-up Display. However, the E-Pace has taken a special interest in one key area that could mean the difference between an enjoyable adventure and an aching pain: comfort.
High-quality materials are evident throughout the cabin, from the eye-catching faux-leather upholstery to the metal accents. Drivers and their front-seat passengers will enjoy heated front seats with 12-way power adjustability, a heated steering wheel, and a panoramic glass roof.
However, we're sorry to say that the E-Pace might not be the best for long-haul journeys. The back seat proves a bit snug for some adults, and when the rear seats lie flat, the cargo space is only large enough to fit six carry-on suitcases compared to the F-Pace, which fits an astounding 22.
Other key elements of the E-Pace’s interior include:
- Wireless smartphone charging pad
- ClearSight interior rear view mirror
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities
- 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display
Performance and Power
While the aesthetics are important, power is paramount. The engine that lies dormant under the hood—and the power it contains—is often a non-negotiable element during the car-buying process. So, what power can we expect from our two Jaguar SUVs?
F-Pace Performance: Power That Knows No Compromise
The standard engine on the F-Pace is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, known as the P250. Delivering 246 horsepower, the standard engine proves to be a solid choice for drivers.
But there is another powertrain worth mentioning for those who crave a bit more.
The triple-threat P400 is a 3.0-liter inline-six that combines a turbocharger, an electric supercharger, and a 48-volt hybrid system. Generating 395 horsepower, this powertrain easily delivers all the power you need.
E-Pace Performance: Don’t Underestimate the Standard
Similar to the standard engine on the F-Pace, the E-Pace is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 246 horsepower. Paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the E-Pace offers refinement and comfort at every turn and unseen bump in the road.
Styling and Design
It comes as no surprise that Jaguar design embodies high-end luxury and class. Would you expect anything less?
F-Pace Design: Imposing Elegance
The design of the new Jaguar F-Pace commands attention. The F-Pace’s silhouette is designed around the front grille, an element inspired by Jaguar’s signature monogram pattern. State-of-the-art LED headlights, featuring signature daytime running lights (DRL), provide enhanced visibility in all conditions.
Available in seven exterior paint colors, customize your F-Pace to fit your style:
- Solid Fuji White
- Metallic Santorini Black
- Metallic Firenze Red
- Metallic Eiger Grey
- Metallic Portofino Blue
- Premium Metallic Ostuni Pearl White
- Premium Metallic Carpathian Grey
E-Pace Design: Assertive and Poised
At first glance, the E-Pace appears to be a smaller version of the F-Pace, but, as with all siblings, their differences become obvious when you take a closer look.
The E-Pace delivers an assertive exterior with advanced high-beam LED headlights that sweep up the hood and slice in towards the signature monogram grille.
Available in the same color palette as the F-Pace, the E-Pace delivers a compact crossover SUV that is exaggerated and assertive, poised with an air of wildness and intrigue.
