The 2020 Audi Q5 rightfully represents the luxurious characteristics of its maker. This compact crossover boasts of flawless build quality as well as premium features. It is a refined ride that promotes a dignified image and also delivers a superior driving experience.

The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace is the best-selling model of the brand and actually helped invigorate its maker’s generic image. This is because the F-Pace has a flashy appearance that makes it look prominent on the road. It is positively alluring on the outside but will it be enough against the Q5? Here is a comparison to find out.

Design & Style

The all-new Q5 adapts a lot of design cues from the original model. The clean styling has conservative lines but with complex headlight clusters. It is the default luxury crossover SUV for those who gravitate toward luxury mainly because of the posh cabin. The tech-heavy interior is headlined by a large dash and instrument cluster screens. The design, however, is leaning towards a clinical approach rather than artistic although everything looks well-put together.

The F-Pace has a handsome compact luxury SUV look that is undeniably its selling point. It is just disappointing to take note that the cabin is made with subpar materials and fails to create a sexy styling that should match its exterior.

Technology & Safety

The Q5 has the Virtual Cockpit for its infotainment digital gauge cluster. Its modern tech features is great for its value whether you are having the standard equipment or go for the upgraded packages. The addition of the Driver Assistance package is innovative especially the adaptive cruise control feature with its stop-and-go technology. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also come standard on each trim level.

The In-Control Touch Pro is the main control for the infotainment on the F-Pace. It supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and has menus that look well-arranged. Upon using it, however, the system tends to malfunction a lot.

Performance

The Q5 has a 252-hp turbocharged engine under its hood. The four-cylinder engine gives the Q5 plenty of punch when driving around town. It will have no trouble blasting through highway speeds and is able to maintain a smooth and quiet ride. The steering is sufficiently weighted and handling is superb.

The F-Pace has a 246-hp engine for its base model. There is an optional V-6 for up to 296 hp. The steering is quick and confidence-inspiring although there is quite a lot of shake when driving at higher speeds.

The Bottom Line

The 2020 Jaguar F-Pace may look adorable but its appearance not enough to make it better than the 2020 Audi Q5. The Q5 is simply amazing by being able to balance its handsome exterior to an equally-attractive interior. It also added to the Q5’s wow factor how it managed i=to fit in a lot of modern techs for its infotainment and safety features.
