When it comes to midsize luxury crossover SUVs, two of the most popular choices in the segment are the Jaguar F-PACE and the Range Rover Velar. Both of these impressive models balance the proven performance of a sports sedan with the everyday versatility of an SUV, an excellent option for those living active lifestyles. While they may appear similar at first glance, there are some key differences between the two that are worth mentioning. Jaguar Easton has created this in-depth guide that compares the Jaguar F-PACE and the Range Rover Velar side-by-side to help you gain a clearer understanding of these two dynamic SUVs.
Exteriors Compared
When you compare the visual appearance of the Jaguar F-PACE and the Range Rover Velar you’ll notice some key differences. Although they share identical wheelbase lengths and ride heights, the more upright styling of the Velar is distinctly different from the aerodynamically-chiseled profile of the F-PACE. This more curvaceous shape allows for improved visibility behind the wheel of the F-PACE. F-PACE models come standard with 19-inch alloy wheels and it also offers optional 20-inch wheels. Conversely, the Velar comes standard with 19-inch wheels and you can also equip it with 20, 21, or even 22-inch wheels for a personalized look.
