2022 Porsche Cayenne vs. 2022 Jaguar I-Pace

The 2022 Porsche Cayenne is widely considered one of the world’s finest SUVs. Its marvelous appearance, superb handling and numerous options make it a force to be reckoned with. But how does it stack up against the 2022 Jaguar I-Pace, a British SUV which impresses with its refined appearance, stellar performance and whisper quiet cabin?

Design & Style

The Jaguar I-Pace is a long range vehicle that is completely electric. It can seat five passengers and uses dual electric motors which are fed via a ninety kWh battery. It displays a rakish profile, utilizing the cab forwarded design which maximizes passenger and cargo space. The cabin materials are elegant with plush seats and about twenty five cubic feet has been set aside for luggage.

The Porsche Cayenne has a sporty exterior with elegant curves. Passengers within the cabin will be presented with large twelve inch displays which can be used for multiple functions. Though numerous buttons are still available, Porsche has reduced them in comparison to previous generations, simplifying the control scheme and making it more user friendly. It too can seat up to five passengers.

Technology & Safety

The Porsche Cayenne is equipped with standardized parking sensors as well as automated emergency brakes. Its other features include adapted cruise control, blind area monitoring, activated lane control, airbags and a camera with surround view. Amenities within the cabin include climate control, a navigation system, panoramic sunroof, stop watch, powered seats that can be cooled or heated and launch control.

The Jaguar I-Pace comes with most of the same features as the Cayenne, which includes emergency automated brakes, the ability to identify traffic signs automatically, adapted cruise control, heads up display and blind area monitoring. Amenities within its cabin include a camera with 360 degree view, 6 USB ports, HD radio, Amazon Alexa, Bluetooth and ten inch touch displays.

Performance

The Jaguar I-Pace has standardized all wheeled drive which allows power to be distributed evenly to all 4 corners. Its dual electrical motors can generate the equivalent of 394 horsepower, which allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 4.5 seconds. It can tow 1653 pounds. Those that purchase the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid will get an electrical motor which can generate the equivalent of 670 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.6 seconds. It can tow up to 7,700 pounds.

The Bottom Line

While both SUVs seat the same number of passengers, use similar safety equipment and cost around the same price, the Porsche Cayenne has an overwhelming performance advantage over the Jaguar, especially when it comes to towing capacity, and this combined with the I-Pace’s limited range makes the Porsche Cayenne the winner.
