Jaguar F-PACE vs Porsche Macan

Shoppers in Baton Rouge and Monticello are spoiled for choice when it comes to luxurious, performance-oriented SUVs. Two premier options often brought up in debates are the Jaguar F-PACE vs. Porsche Macan. Each model has astounding performance to go with suave exterior style and the latest in-cabin technology. So, which is right for your needs?

Well, Jaguar Baton Rouge created a comparison to help answer that exact question. We’ll be pitting traits of the Jaguar F-PACE and Porsche Macan against each other in the coming sections, so you can get a feel for each vehicle!

2020 Jaguar F-PACE vs 2020 Porsche Macan: Performance

When you wander into the luxury SUV market, you’ll find nutty performance outputs from most models. The Jaguar F-PACE certainly delivers in this regard, with the Porsche Macan trailing behind.

For the Jaguar F-PACE, the engine lineup is sprawling, culminating in a devious 5.0L supercharged V8. This particular engine is hair-raising, with outputs of 550 horsepower, 502 lb-ft of torque, a blistering 4.1-second 0-60 MPH sprint, and a top speed of 176 MPH.

Couple all that with a silky 8-speed automatic transmission and the Jaguar F-PACE flaunts world-class ability on pavement.

The Porsche Macan is of course capable, following the heralded tradition of the brand. Yet, the most output you’ll get from the SUV comes with the twin-turbocharged V6 that makes just 434 horsepower, 406 lb-ft of torque, a 4.1-second 0-60 MPH dash (if you add on the optional Sport Chrono Package) and a 167 MPH top speed.

F-PACE vs Macan: Design

Commonly, the exterior is made more for looks than application boosts. Yet, the Jaguar F-PACE pairs style with performance enhancement, giving it an edge over competition like the Porsche Macan.

For example, the Jaguar F-PACE flaunts aerodynamic shaping that directs air over, under, and around the SUV to reduce lift, cool the engine, and increase traction. To make the most of your arrival, there’s the striking adaptive LED headlights with signature Jaguar ‘J’ blade daytime running lights.

The Porsche Macan has a svelte exterior design with 4-point brake lights for added practicality. However, it doesn’t factor in performance or overall sophistication as well as the Jaguar F-PACE does.

Jaguar F-PACE vs Porsche Macan: Technology

Tech-heads, millennials, and convenience-seekers will appreciate the ease of the Jaguar F-PACE interface in relation to the roundabout design of the Porsche Macan.

Not only is the 10-inch Touch Pro™ system of the Jaguar F-PACE heralded by reviewers and everyday drivers alike, other technology features are stuffed in as well. A few of the most prominent include:

  • InControl® Apps
  • Connect Pro
  • Traffic Sign Recognition and Adaptive Speed Limiter
  • Head-Up Display

All these features combine to give the Jaguar F-PACE an advantage over the competing Porsche Macan, whose infotainment looks scarce in comparison.
