2019 JAGUAR F-PACE VS. 2019 JAGUAR I-PACE

If you’re weighing the 2019 Jaguar F-PACE vs. 2019 Jaguar I-PACE, we can understand — their names are similar, their both crossovers, and they both continue the legacy of luxury Jaguar is known for. But they fit very different needs, and Jaguar of Naperville is here to break down some of the key differences for you.

The Benefits of Electric Driving

The 2019 Jaguar I-PACE brings electric driving without compromising on the luxury Chicagoland drivers demand from their crossovers. Here’s what you can expect from this state-of-the-art powertrain:

• 90 kWh lithium-ion battery with an EPA-estimated range of 234 miles on a full charge
• A 0-60 mph time of just 4.5 seconds thanks to its 394 hp
• Torque Vectoring by Braking to maximize the agility of its 512 lb-ft of torque
• Convenient home charging options approved by Jaguar
• An Eco-Mode that optimizes performance for energy efficiency

Now, if those specs sound good to you, we would imagine that never needing to visit a gas station would just be an added benefit. On the other hand, if performance specs aren’t what draws you to a Jaguar, knowing that you’ll have an electric vehicle with zero emissions might be the fact that makes you an I-PACE driver over an F-PACE driver.

Sticking with Traditional Gasoline (or Diesel)

If you aren’t a Jaguar driver yet, there’s something to know about most of us: legacy and tradition play heavily into the appreciation of the brand. Even though hybrid and electric vehicles have been around for some time now, there are drivers who just don’t feel comfortable if the car doesn’t feel the way every other car has. The F-PACE has wooed critics from Top Gear and Motor Trend, the dyed-in-the-wool drivers who may have been wary of the first Jaguar SUV.

When it comes to what’s under the hood, you’ve got multiple options, too.

• Turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder: 247 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque (25t) or 296 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque (30t)
• Turbocharged 2.0L diesel: 180 hp and 318 lb-ft of torque
• Supercharged 3.0L V6: 380 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque
• Supercharged 5.0L V8: 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque

Clearly if maxing out your performance specs is the top priority, the F-PACE wins out (although the electric motor of the I-PACE edges ahead on torque). Similarly, if you just like the feel of putting your foot to the pedal and experiencing the engine come to life, a traditional powertrain might be more for you.
