Compare the2023 Land Rover Range Rover SportVS 2023 Jaguar F-Pace

For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Land Rover Range Rover Sport have pretensioners to tighten the seatbelts and eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers. The Jaguar F-Pace doesn’t offer pretensioners for its rear seat belts.

The Range Rover Sport’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The F-Pace doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

Both the Range Rover Sport and the F-Pace have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, 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 and driver alert monitors.

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport weighs 455 to 1845 pounds more than the Jaguar F-Pace. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2022 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Land Rover vehicles are better in initial quality than Jaguar vehicles. With 17 fewer problems per 100 vehicles, JD Power ranks Land Rover higher than Jaguar.

The Range Rover Sport has more powerful engines than the F-Pace:

On the EPA test cycle the Range Rover Sport running its gasoline engine gets better mileage than the F-Pace:

The Range Rover Sport P440e can travel with zero emissions for 48 miles. The F-Pace can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

The Range Rover Sport’s standard fuel tank has 1.9 gallons more fuel capacity than the F-Pace (23.8 vs. 21.9 gallons).

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Land Rover Range Rover Sport higher (5 to 7 out of 10) than the Jaguar F-Pace (3 to 7). This means the Range Rover Sport produces up to 24.5 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the F-Pace every 15,000 miles.

The Range Rover Sport’s launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The F-Pace doesn’t offer launch control.

For better stopping power the Range Rover Sport’s standard brake rotors are larger than those on the F-Pace:

For better traction, the Range Rover Sport has larger standard tires than the F-Pace (275/50R21 vs. 255/55R19). The Range Rover Sport’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the F-Pace (285/45R23 vs. 265/45R21).

The Range Rover Sport’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the F-Pace’s standard 55 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Range Rover Sport has standard 21-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the F-Pace. The Range Rover Sport’s optional 23-inch wheels are larger than the 22-inch wheels optional on the F-Pace.

The Range Rover Sport Autobiography/First Edition has active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The F-Pace doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.

The front and rear suspension of the Range Rover Sport uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the F-Pace, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

The Range Rover Sport Autobiography/First Edition offers an available adjustable active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Jaguar doesn’t offer an active suspension on the F-Pace.

The Range Rover Sport has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The Range Rover Sport’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The F-Pace doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Range Rover Sport’s wheelbase is 4.9 inches longer than on the F-Pace (118 inches vs. 113.1 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Range Rover Sport is 2.3 inches wider in the front and 1.8 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the F-Pace.

For better maneuverability, the Range Rover Sport w/Rear Wheel Steering’s turning circle is 3.3 feet tighter than the F-Pace’s (35.9 feet vs. 39.2 feet).

For greater off-road capability the Range Rover Sport has a 2.7 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the F-Pace (11.1 vs. 8.4 inches), allowing the Range Rover Sport to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The Range Rover Sport’s minimum ground clearance is 2.5 inches higher than on the F-Pace SVR (11.1 vs. 8.6 inches).

The design of the Land Rover Range Rover Sport amounts to more than styling. The Range Rover Sport has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .29 Cd. That is significantly lower than the F-Pace (.36) and many sports cars. A more efficient exterior helps keep the interior quieter and helps the Range Rover Sport get better fuel mileage.

The Range Rover Sport has .2 inches more rear headroom and .6 inches more rear legroom than the F-Pace.

For enhanced passenger comfort on long trips the Range Rover Sport’s rear seats recline. The F-Pace’s rear seats don’t recline.

The Range Rover Sport’s cargo area is larger than the F-Pace’s in almost every dimension:

The Range Rover Sport’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the F-Pace’s (7716 vs. 5291 pounds).

The Range Rover Sport’s standard Entry and Exit Mode raises the steering wheel, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. An easy entry system costs extra on the F-Pace, and is not available on all models.

The Range Rover Sport P440e has a standard locking fuel and charge port door with a remote release located convenient to the driver. A locking fuel door helps prevent fuel theft and vandalism, such as sugar in the tank. The F-Pace doesn’t offer a locking fuel door.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the Range Rover Sport offers optional adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The F-Pace doesn’t offer cornering lights.

To better shield the driver and front passenger’s vision, the Range Rover Sport offers optional dual-element sun visors that can block glare from two directions simultaneously. The F-Pace doesn’t offer secondary sun visors.

A manual rear sunshade is standard in the Range Rover Sport to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The F-Pace doesn’t offer a rear sunshade.

Optional air conditioned front and rear seats keep the Range Rover Sport’s passengers comfortable and take the sting out of hot leather in summer. The F-Pace doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

The Range Rover Sport offers an optional 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The F-Pace doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.

The Range Rover Sport’s optional Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The F-Pace SVR’s automatic parking system requires operating the brakes and transmission to safely park.

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport outsold the Jaguar F-Pace by almost three to one during the 2022 model year.
