Jaguar vs. Mercedes-Benz Comparison with Price, Specs, & Photos

Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz are two of the biggest names in luxury vehicles. Both brands have long and impressive histories, complete with some seriously impressive motorsports records. But reputations are one thing, and continuing to build desirable vehicles is another, so how do the current lineups from these two carmakers stack up to one another? Jaguar Easton put together the following guide to break down just how the two compare.

In our first matchup, we’ll compare two fierce rivals in the midsize luxury sedan segment – the Jaguar XF and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Even comparing entry-level trims with all-wheel drive, the Jaguar begins with a staggering price advantage over the far more expensive Mercedes-Benz. The value only continues to grow for the XF as we continue down its lengthy list of advantages.

Mercedes-Benz simply cannot compete with the Jaguar XF in terms of performance. The XF offers greater horsepower, an identical amount of torque, and a faster 0-60 time than the E-Class. Larger 19-inch wheels add an additional touch of style to its exterior as well. Other perks that come from choosing the XF over the E-Class include a greater number of speakers, standard adaptive cruise control, and wireless smartphone integration from both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Finally, Mercedes-Benz can’t match the robust warranty coverage and complimentary scheduled maintenance coverage included by Jaguar.

Jaguar E-PACE VS Mercedes-Benz GLB

2024 Jaguar E-PACE SE	VS.	2024 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4MATIC
$49,500	MSRP	$46,450

In our second matchup, we’ll see exactly how well the popular Jaguar E-PACE measures up against the Mercedes-Benz GLB. While this time it’s the Mercedes-Benz that starts off with a lower price tag, you’ll quickly understand that choosing Jaguar will prove to be the smarter decision in terms of overall value. Significantly more powerful than the GLB, the E-PACE benefits from a more responsive 9-speed automatic transmission and larger 19-inch wheels for a more commanding stance on the road.

Step inside the cabin and you’ll discover plenty of additional perks that come from choosing the Jaguar E-PACE. Although both SUVs feature digital instrument panels, the E-PACE has a much larger 12.3-inch unit. A greater number of speakers also provides a far superior listening experience. Other key standard features of the Jaguar E-PACE include adaptive cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, and a heated steering wheel. All three will force you to shell out additional cash to get equivalent features at Mercedes-Benz. Finally, Jaguar also provides greater basic warranty coverage along with 5 years or 60,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance services.

Jaguar F-Type VS Mercedes-AMG SL 55

2024 Jaguar F-TYPE R75 Convertible	VS.	2024 Mercedes-AMG SL 55
$115,000 ✓	MSRP	$144,500
5.0-liter Supercharged V8 ✓	Engine	4.0-liter Turbocharged V8
575 HP / 516 LB-FT TQ ✓	Horsepower / Torque	469 HP / 516 LB-FT TQ
3.5 seconds ✓	0-60 Time	3.8 seconds
Standard ✓	Electronic Differential	Optional
Standard ✓	Adaptive Suspension	Optional

Last up, since both of these brands have such rich motorsports histories, we figured it would be useful to look at their purpose-built performance roadsters. Both cars come with V8 engines with forced induction, but they take different approaches to them. The SL has a 4-liter engine with a pair of turbochargers while the F-TYPE has a bigger 5.0-liter supercharged engine. Interestingly, this results in identical torque figures, but much, much more horsepower in the Jaguar. This is why the F-TYPE beats the SL to 60 MPH. In general, you will find that the linear powerband of a bigger supercharged engine will be much more usable in more situations than the power delivery of a smaller turbocharged engine.

There’s no missing the price difference between these two and while the SL isn’t as bad as a lot of Mercedes-Benz models when it comes to charging extra for equipment, there are still a couple of important performance features that will run the price on the SL up even higher, like an electronic differential and adaptive suspension. Moving up to the SL 63 will give you similar equipment to the F-TYPE R75, and enough extra power to match the Jaguar’s 0-60 time, but it’s a lot more expensive, starting at $187,000. That means spending enough for two base model F-TYPE R-Dynamic models just to match, not exceed, the performance of the F-TYPE R75. Lastly, a lot of performance-minded buyers prefer a hardtop, as these tend to be lighter and more ridged than their convertible counterparts. This is an option for the F-TYPE and actually carries a slightly lower price to boot, but no such luck with the SL.
