The F-Pace’s standard lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane. A lane departure warning system costs extra on the AMG GLE Coupe.

On the EPA test cycle the F-Pace gets better mileage than the AMG GLE Coupe:

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 AMG GLE Coupe 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 AMG GLE Coupe; it requires you to depend on a temporary spare, which limits mileage and speed before replacement.

For greater off-road capability the F-Pace has a greater minimum ground clearance than the AMG GLE Coupe (8.4 vs. 7.5 inches), allowing the F-Pace to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The F-Pace SVR’s minimum ground clearance is 1.1 inches higher than on the AMG GLE Coupe (8.6 vs. 7.5 inches).

The Jaguar F-Pace may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1050 to 1250 pounds less than the Mercedes AMG GLE Coupe.

The F-Pace is 8.4 inches shorter than the AMG GLE Coupe, making the F-Pace easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

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 AMG GLE Coupe doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

The F-Pace has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the AMG GLE Coupe (32.1 vs. 17 cubic feet).

A Trailer Stability Assist is standard on the F-Pace, using 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. A trailer sway program costs extra on the AMG GLE Coupe.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the F-Pace has a standard rear wiper. The AMG GLE Coupe doesn’t offer a rear wiper.

The F-Pace has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel costs extra on the AMG GLE Coupe.

Insurance will cost less for the F-Pace owner. The Complete Car Cost Guide estimates that insurance for the F-Pace will cost $4375 less than the AMG GLE Coupe over a five-year period.

IntelliChoice estimates that five-year ownership costs (depreciation, financing, insurance, fuel, fees, repairs and maintenance) for the Jaguar F-Pace will be $29779 to $34355 less than for the Mercedes AMG GLE Coupe.

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 AMG GLE Coupe isn’t in the top three.
