Compare the2024 Land Rover Range Rover SportVS 2024 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 2010 pounds more than the Jaguar F-Pace. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

There are over 38 percent more Land Rover dealers than there are Jaguar dealers, which makes it easier should you ever need service under the Range Rover Sport’s warranty.

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

As tested in Motor Trend the Range Rover Sport P550e 3.0 turbo/supercharged 6-cylinder hybrid is faster than the F-Pace P400 3.0 turbo/supercharged 6-cylinder hybrid:

On the EPA test cycle the Range Rover Sport running on electricity gets better mileage 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 P550e can travel with zero emissions for 51 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).

The Range Rover Sport P440e has a standard locking fuel door with a power remote release convenient to the driver. The fuel filler door is not lockable on the F-Pace. A locking fuel door helps prevent fuel theft and vandalism, such as sugar in the tank.

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Land Rover Range Rover Sport higher (6 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 brake rotors are larger than those on the F-Pace:

The Range Rover Sport SV offers optional heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The F-Pace doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

For better traction, the Range Rover Sport has larger standard tires than the F-Pace (275/50R21 vs. 255/55R19). The Range Rover Sport SV’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the F-Pace (F:285/40R23 & R:305/35R23 vs. F:265/45R21 & R:295/40R21).

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 1.9 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 SV has a 1.4 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the F-Pace (9.8 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 2.4 inches higher than on the F-Pace SVR (11 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.

As tested by Car and Driver, the interior of the Range Rover Sport SE is quieter than the F-Pace SVR:

The Range Rover Sport has 9 cubic feet more passenger volume than the F-Pace (105 vs. 96).

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).

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.

Manual rear side window sunshades are available in the Range Rover Sport to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The F-Pace doesn’t offer rear side window sunshades.

The Range Rover Sport has standard front air conditioned seats and offers them optionally in the rear. This keeps the passengers comfortable and takes the sting out of hot seats in summer. The F-Pace doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

The Range Rover Sport Autobiography/SV has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the F-Pace.

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.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Range Rover Sport first among large premium suvs in owner reported satisfaction. This includes how well the vehicle performs and satisfies its owner’s expectations. The F-Pace was rated second in its category.

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport outsold the Jaguar F-Pace by over two to one during 2023.
