Jaguar F-Pace vs Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe
Verdict
At RM448,800, the Jaguar F-Pace is RM50,088 cheaper than the RM498,888 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe, and it gives up a lot of pace: 300 hp/400 Nm and 6.0 seconds to 100 km/h versus 416 hp/500 Nm and 4.8 seconds. The Mercedes also has the bigger boot, longer wheelbase, one extra airbag and AEB. The Jaguar answers with quoted 7.7 L/100 km consumption, a wider body and a five-year warranty. For Malaysia, this is price and warranty against performance and safety kit.
Pick the Jaguar F-Pace if you want the lower purchase price, five-year warranty and listed 7.7 L/100 km fuel use more than outright pace.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC Coupe if 416 hp and a 4.8-second 0-100 km/h time matter, with the 545-litre boot and AEB as useful bonuses.
