Compare the2024 Jaguar F-PaceVS 2024 Audi A4 Allroad

The F-Pace has a standard blind spot warning system that uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them and moves the vehicle back into its lane. A system to reveal vehicles in the A4 Allroad’s blind spot costs extra.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the F-Pace has standard Rear Traffic Warning and Rear Traffic Braking automatically engages the brakes to help avoid a collision. Audi charges extra for Rear Cross-Traffic Assist on the A4 Allroad.

The F-Pace’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The A4 Allroad doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the F-Pace and the A4 Allroad 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, rearview cameras and available around view monitors.

The F-Pace comes with a full 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The A4 Allroad’s 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty expires 1 year or 10,000 miles sooner.

Jaguar pays for scheduled maintenance on the F-Pace for 5 years and 60,000 miles. Jaguar will pay for oil changes, tire rotations, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Audi only pays for the first scheduled maintenance visit on the A4 Allroad.

To reliably start during all conditions and help handle large electrical loads, the F-Pace has a standard 800-amp battery. The A4 Allroad’s 420-amp battery isn’t as powerful.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2023 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Jaguar vehicles are better in initial quality than Audi vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Jaguar above average in initial quality. With 36 more problems per 100 vehicles, Audi is rated below average.

The F-Pace P400’s standard 3.0 turbo/supercharged 6-cylinder hybrid produces 134 more horsepower (395 vs. 261) and 133 lbs.-ft. more torque (406 vs. 273) than the A4 Allroad’s 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder hybrid. The F-Pace SVR’s standard 5.0 supercharged V8 produces 281 more horsepower (542 vs. 261) and 243 lbs.-ft. more torque (516 vs. 273) than the A4 Allroad’s 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder hybrid.

The F-Pace has 6.6 gallons more fuel capacity than the A4 Allroad (21.9 vs. 15.3 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

An eight-speed automatic is standard on the Jaguar F-Pace, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only a seven-speed automatic is available for the A4 Allroad.

For better stopping power the F-Pace’s front brake rotors are larger than those on the A4 Allroad:

The F-Pace stops shorter than the A4 Allroad:

For better traction, the F-Pace has larger standard tires than the A4 Allroad (255/55R19 vs. 245/45R18). The F-Pace SVR’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the A4 Allroad (F:265/45R21 & R:295/40R21 vs. 245/45R18).

The F-Pace SVR’s optional 265/40R22 front and 295/35R22 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series front and 35 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the A4 Allroad’s 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the F-Pace has standard 19-inch wheels. Only 18-inch wheels are available on the A4 Allroad. The F-Pace offers optional 22-inch wheels.

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 A4 Allroad 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 A4 Allroad; it requires you to depend on a temporary spare, which limits mileage and speed before replacement.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the F-Pace’s wheelbase is 2.2 inches longer than on the A4 Allroad (113.1 inches vs. 110.9 inches).

For better handling and stability, the average track (width between the wheels) on the F-Pace is 2.6 inches wider in the front and 3.5 inches wider in the rear than the track on the A4 Allroad.

The F-Pace SVR handles at .89 G’s, while the A4 Allroad Prestige pulls only .85 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The F-Pace SVR executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1.3 seconds quicker than the A4 Allroad Premium Plus (25 seconds @ .77 average G’s vs. 26.3 seconds @ .69 average G’s).

For greater off-road capability the F-Pace has a 1.9 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the A4 Allroad (8.4 vs. 6.5 inches), allowing the F-Pace to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The F-Pace SVR’s minimum ground clearance is 2.1 inches higher than on the A4 Allroad (8.6 vs. 6.5 inches).

The F-Pace uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The A4 Allroad doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

The F-Pace has 4 cubic feet more passenger volume than the A4 Allroad (96 vs. 92).

The F-Pace has 2.3 inches more front headroom, 1.8 inches more front shoulder room, 1.1 inches more rear headroom, 1.5 inches more rear legroom and 1.3 inches more rear shoulder room than the A4 Allroad.

The F-Pace has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the A4 Allroad with its rear seat up (32.1 vs. 24.2 cubic feet). The F-Pace has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the A4 Allroad with its rear seat folded (70.4 vs. 58.5 cubic feet).

The F-Pace’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the A4 Allroad’s (5291 vs. 3968 pounds).

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 A4 Allroad doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.

Unlike the driver-only memory seat and mirrors optional at extra cost in the A4 Allroad, the F-Pace offers an optional 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.

The F-Pace’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The A4 Allroad doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The F-Pace’s standard Keyless Start and Entry allow you to unlock the doors from any outside door handle, open the cargo door, and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Keyless Engine Start/Stop standard on the A4 Allroad only offers hands-free access for the ignition, none to unlock the car.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the F-Pace has a standard rear fixed intermittent wiper with a full on position. The rear wiper standard on the A4 Allroad only has an intermittent setting, so in a hard rain visibility isn’t as good.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Jaguar F-Pace has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Only the A4 Allroad Premium Plus/Prestige offers wireless charging.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the F-Pace second among compact premium suvs in owner reported satisfaction. This includes how well the vehicle performs and satisfies its owner’s expectations. The A4 Allroad isn’t in the top three.
