$60,500 · Crossover

$57,000 · Crossover

Comparison Overview

Deciding between luxury crossovers often comes down to space versus driving dynamics and initial cost. The 2025 Audi Q7 starts at a higher MSRP of $60,500, compared to the 2026 Jaguar F-PACE's $57,000 sticker price, giving the Jaguar a $3,500 initial advantage. However, the Q7 offers slightly more power with 261 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, though the F-PACE is technically more efficient, achieving 24 combined MPG versus the Audi's 22 combined MPG, even though both require premium fuel (or recommend it for the Jag). The starkest difference is utility: the Q7, measuring 199.3 inches long, trails significantly in cargo capacity, offering only 14.2 cu ft compared to the F-PACE's generous 32.1 cu ft behind the second row. If sheer hauling capability is paramount, the smaller, nimbler Jag steps up surprisingly well.
