Comparing The Jaguar i-PACE To The Audi Q8 e-Tron: A Guide

All-electric power trains are the latest trend that we’re seeing with auto manufacturers — and the Jaguar i-PACE and the Audi Q8 e-Tron are no exception. 

The two models have plenty of similarities, but the differences are where the two cars truly shine. Here’s what you need to know about each, courtesy of Jaguar Frisco — the best Jaguar dealership in Frisco. 

Exploring the Audi Q8 e-Tron 

This year’s Audi Q8 e-Tron is the best choice for those looking to indulge in the simple luxuries — such as rich, buttery leather seats and a sleek sportback coupe-like setup. US News notes that while both models have comparable seating arrangements and styles, the Q8 is best suited for taller, well-built adults. This is due to its spacious front areas and narrower backseat, possibly compromising the experience of larger families or those with young children. 

The e-Tron also takes the win on space and cargo capacity, which can go up to 56.5 cubic feet when it’s fully seat-back-flat and expanded. This is larger than the i-PACE, which has 53.6 cubic feet of space. 

Both vehicles are similar in both power and MPG, with the Audi Q8 e-Tron narrowly beating the Jaguar. The e-Tron can accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in just 4.3 seconds, beating out the i-PACE by .2 of a second. 

Exploring the Jaguar i-PACE 

While it might seem to some that Audi has swept the category, the Jaguar i-PACE in Frisco has its own bragging points — starting with the lower overall price. 

While price isn’t a concern to many luxury vehicle shoppers, some still might look for opportunities to maximize their value. The i-PACE generally comes in at a $2,000-$3,000 less price tag, making it the best affordable choice. 

The Jaguar i-PACE also features roomier backseats without compromising the driver and passenger cabin space. It is ideal for those who plan to ride with additional passengers or family members. This spaciousness doesn’t add weight or slow the 0-60 speed either, offering you a similar drive experience with (possible) additional benefits.

The best part? While both vehicles come in at similar MPG, the i-PACE ekes out an 89 mpg city/82 mpg highway rating — doing just a little better than the e-Tron in the city.
