2022 Audi Q5 vs. 2022 Jaguar F-Pace
The 2022 Audi Q5 is a refined sport utility vehicle with a cabin rich in the latest technology, numerous configuration options and formidable performance. But is this enough to beat the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace, a cosmopolitan SUV with exceptional handling, powerful engines and a spacious cargo bay?
Design & Style
The first thing that one notices when viewing the Jaguar F-Pace is the impressive sheet metal. Buyers have the option of three powertrains and those that purchase the P250 S will get nineteen inch wheels, a rear lift gate which is powered and lovely stitched leather upholstery which feels great on the skin. Infotainment is provided through its PiviPro software that includes wifi, navigation and the ability to automatically recognize road signs.
The Audi Q5 is truly breathtaking. Buyers have the option of a hybrid plugin with Quattro style all-wheel drive in every variant. The frame sits on eighteen inch wheels and those that buy the Premium trim will get a steering column which can be power adjusted as desired. The dark interior that comes with the Black Optics package is especially impressive with its sports seats and supple leather.
Technology & Safety
The Audi Q5 is packed with standardized technology such as emergency brakes which are automated, frontal impact alerts, multiple airbags and cruise control which is adaptive. Comforts within the cabin are extensive and include ten inch touch displays, wifi, the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and a Virtual Cockpit, tachometer and climate control.
The Jaguar F-Pace offers many of the same driver assistance features as the Q5, including lane management and departure warnings. Comforts within its cabin include a fourteen speaker sound system from Meridian, navigation which is built in, mobile hotspots and climate control.
Performance
The Jaguar F-Pace has substantial power. Those that purchase the P400 will get an engine capable of generating 395 horsepower which can accelerate from zero to sixty in just 5.5 seconds. The response is excellent, as is the acceleration. Those that purchase the Audi Q5 hybrid plugin will get an electric based motor and engine which can generate 362 horsepower, which allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 5.5 seconds. The suspension provides excellent damping and remains stable irrespective of driving or road conditions.
The Bottom Line
The Audi Q5 and jaguar F-Pace are evenly matched when it comes to driver assistance features, performance and 0 to 60 acceleration times. Despite this, the Jaguar’s transmission has received criticism for hesitating to downshift when passing power in every mode except Sport, and its infotainment can be clunky, which makes the Audi Q5 the winner.
