Compare the2023 Jaguar F-PaceVS 2023 Genesis GV80

Both the F-Pace and the GV80 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning, driver alert monitors and available around view monitors.

Jaguar pays for scheduled maintenance on the F-Pace for 2 years and 24,000 miles longer than Genesis pays for maintenance for the GV80 (5/60,000 vs. 3/36,000).

The battery on the F-Pace is in the trunk, which protects it from hot underhood temperatures that can degrade battery life. By keeping the F-Pace’s battery 20 to 30 degrees cooler, its life is increased by years. The GV80’s battery is in the hot engine compartment.

A reliable vehicle saves its owner time, money and trouble. Nobody wants to be stranded or have to be without a vehicle while it’s being repaired. Consumer Reports rates the F-Pace’s reliability 20 points higher than the GV80.

The F-Pace has more powerful engines than the GV80:

As tested in Motor Trend the Jaguar F-Pace is faster than the GV80 3.5T 3.5 turbo V6:

On the EPA test cycle the F-Pace gets better mileage than the GV80:

Regenerative brakes improve the F-Pace’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The GV80 doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

For better stopping power the F-Pace SVR’s front brake rotors are larger than those on the GV80:

The F-Pace stops shorter than the GV80:

The F-Pace SVR’s optional 295/35R22 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the GV80’s optional 40 series tires.

Having a flat tire is dangerous, inconvenient and expensive. The self-sealing tires available on the F-Pace can automatically seal most punctures up to 3/16 of an inch, effectively preventing most flat tires. The GV80 doesn’t offer self-sealing tires.

The F-Pace offers an optional full size spare tire so a flat doesn’t interrupt your trip. A full size spare isn’t available on the GV80; it requires you to depend on a temporary spare, which has mileage and speed limitations, or roadside assistance and a tow-truck.

The F-Pace SVR handles at .89 G’s, while the GV80 ADVANCED pulls only .82 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The F-Pace SVR executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 2.4 seconds quicker than the GV80 Standard (25 seconds @ .77 average G’s vs. 27.4 seconds @ .63 average G’s).

For greater off-road capability the F-Pace has a greater minimum ground clearance than the GV80 (8.4 vs. 8.1 inches), allowing the F-Pace to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The F-Pace SVR’s minimum ground clearance is .5 inch higher than on the GV80 (8.6 vs. 8.1 inches).

The Jaguar F-Pace may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 500 to 550 pounds less than the Genesis GV80.

The F-Pace is 7.8 inches shorter than the GV80, making the F-Pace easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The F-Pace has a much larger cargo volume than the GV80 with its rear seat up (32.1 vs. 11.6 cubic feet).

A low lift-over cargo hatch design makes loading and unloading the F-Pace easier. The F-Pace’s cargo hatch lift-over height is 30.5 inches, while the GV80’s liftover is 31.7 inches.

Standard Trailer Stability Assist on the F-Pace uses the Dynamic Stability Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The GV80 doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the GV80, the F-Pace (except Base) offers an optional driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

If the windows are left open on the F-Pace the driver can close them all at the outside door handle. On a hot day the driver can lower the windows at the outside door handle or from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the GV80 can’t use the remote to operate the windows.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are optional on the F-Pace to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The GV80 doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.
