Compare the Jaguar F-PACE and the Volvo XC60

Have you been searching for a capable, compact, and luxury SUV to support you and your family on the highways and the city streets? If so, you've most likely come across two of the leaders in the field, the Jaguar F-PACE and the Volvo XC60. Both feature powerful drivetrains and luxurious quirks, but there's certainly a clear winner when it comes to advancements in technology, power, and design. Let's see what makes the Jaguar F-PACE stand out from its competitors.

Luxury Features

From the outside, in, the Jaguar F-PACE offers next-level good looks with a gorgeous front grille that's flanked in fastidious details that you won't find on just any compact SUV. Enjoy uniquely shaped headlights and a muscular front end that lends itself well to the performance capability inside. Dual exhaust tips and a sloping roof give this model an ultra-luxurious look. Inside, you'll find a contemporary space with soft-touch and leather-wrapped details throughout. It's truly a luxurious cabin.

The Volvo XC60 certainly boasts a Scandinavian design and a sparse interior but lacks the overwhelmingly luxurious feeling that the Jaguar provides. Expect classic exterior Volvo styling that's certainly attractive, but not necessarily unique. It takes upgrades to gain features like sport seats and leather details, which you'll find standard in the Jaguar.

Technology Capabilities

The Jaguar F-PACE comes with a standard 10-inch Touch Pro hardware and software screen that offers tapping, swiping, and pinch-and-zoom capabilities for easy, customizable control. Also, enjoy a standard Meridian™ premium sound system to activate your ride and entertain all your passengers. The Volvo XC60 comes with a standard 9-inch screen only. Upgrade for premium audio or a larger display.

Power and Performance

While the Volvo XC60 certain finds its stride with standard power and a 2.0-liter engine alongside additional engine options with an upgrade, the Jaguar F-PACE soars beyond the mundane with its unique combination of performance features that give it an extra edge on the roadway. Expect lightweight aluminum architecture that helps achieve the mere 4.1-seconds it takes to accelerate to 60-miles-per-hour, standard all-wheel drive, and the unique Intelligent Driveline Dynamics software that assists in expert handling. You can upgrade to a V6 or V8 engine for a maximum of 550-horsepower output. The Volvo tops out at 415-horsepower.

Interior Space and Ergonomics

For one, the wheelbase of the Jaguar F-PACE is slightly larger than Volvo XC60, which gives you a more stately feeling on the road, without compromising the ease of parking. Both seat five, but you'll find a larger cargo space in the Jaguar, weighing in at 33.5-cubic-feet as opposed to 29.7-cubic-feet in the Volvo. Just those few feet make all the difference when embarking on a long road trip.

Summing it Up

When you're hunting for a luxury SUV it's important that you weigh all your options. If you're a driver looking for plenty of cargo space, a standard of advanced technology, and a racetrack-inspired engine all wrapped up in the exotic styling that Jaguar is known for, then the Jaguar F-PACE is for you. While the Volvo XC60 certainly distinguishes itself as a mid-range luxury family car, it lacks the glitz and on-road capability that you're guaranteed with the Jaguar name.
