2020 Jaguar F-PACE vs 2020 BMW X3

The Jaguar F-PACE is an SUV that goes beyond luxury and style. It provides a palette of engine options that enable you to customize the vehicle to your performance needs. With power ranging from 247 - 542 hp, the F-PACE also matches and exceeds the competition. The Audi Q5 is one of those competitors. Here, we compare both vehicles in several key areas to help you research your purchasing decision.

The F-PACE is a longer and wider vehicle than the Q5, providing a platform for more room and features. With the same height and an additional 74 mm in length and a 54 mm larger wheelbase, the F-PACE also has the right dimensional balance for tighter turns and winding roads. You'll notice the difference during a test drive. Although the F-PACE is larger, it won't necessarily feel that way.

The F-PACE outpaces the Audi Q5 in power

The F-PACE includes a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that has similar horsepower to the Q5 (247/248), but this is the only instance when engine comparisons are even close. The Q5 lacks any other engine options, whereas the F-PACE moves ahead with even more powerful engines. The Portfolio trim upgrades to a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder that generates 297 hp, The F-PACE S goes further and faster with a 3.0L supercharged six-cylinder engine that produces 375 hp, one of the strongest engines in its class. Finally, the F-Pace SVR model comes with 542 hp, 5.0-litre V8 engine.

The Q5 has a standard 7-speed automatic transmission which is less capable than the F-PACE's eight-speed automatic transmission. You will be able to accelerate faster and more efficiently in the F-PACE.

Better room and more features in the 2020 Jaguar F-PACE

The F-PACE delivers when it comes to interior cargo space. When compared to the Q5, the F-PACE has 1740 litres of available room versus the Q5's 1710 when the rear seats are folded. That will fit more bags, gear, groceries, or other important items. The interior of the F-PACE has features you won't find in the Q5 like 3D navigation and live traffic info. With more room and exclusive features, the F-PACE offers a vehicle that everyone can enjoy.

A test drive is the most important way to be convinced that the F-PACE is the better vehicle for you. Contact us today to schedule your personal showing.
