Jaguar with a slightly retracted tail, Volvo more angular and with the typical raised lamps. And the much better overview.
In the Swedish luggage compartment fit 468 to 1395 liters, the Jaguar is 485 to 1299 liters. But the F-Pace may only invite a maximum of 415 kilograms – insufficient in this league. After all, the XC60 weighs 497 kilograms.
Fully on the level of the German competition
Both cars are cleanly finished, with high-quality materials and beautiful details – and are therefore fully on par with the German competition. The Jaguar makes it rather on fine and noble, the Volvo on cool, clear, Scandinavian. matter of taste.
The Jaguar is fine and noble. The leather smells, and the paint shines deep black.
Volvo now works with Google Android and has streamlined the 9-inch monitor menus. It all works well, there is particular praise for the Google Maps navigation system – however, the system has to be online, and that is not always the case, the range of functions is then severely restricted. The voice control via “Ok Google” reacts faster and more flexibly than in the Jaguar.
Jaguar with an advantage when loading
The hybrid system of the F-Pace includes a longitudinally installed 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 300 hp, an electric motor with 143 hp, a 13.8 kWh battery and the eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF, the system performance is provided by Jaguar 404 hp on.
The Jaguar can be charged with 7 kW alternating current and even 32 kW direct current – ​​this is rare with plug-in hybrids. And is an advantage over the Volvo, where a maximum of 3.7 kW are possible.

On the XC60 T6, the hybrid system includes a double – supercharged and turbocharged – front transversely mounted 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 253 hp, a 145 hp electric motor, a 14.9 kWh battery and a Aisin eight-speed automatic. The system output is 350 hp.
Both cars are downright surprisingly fast, with times of just over five seconds for the sprint from zero to one hundred speak for themselves – remarkable for SUVs of this size and weight. The Volvo is typically limited to a speed of 180 km/h, the Jaguar runs relatively easily at 240 km/h.
Jaguar acts more indecisively
The engine-transmission combination in the Volvo works more harmoniously than in the Jaguar, responds faster and more directly. And the XC60 can be maneuvered in one-pedal mode, decelerating to a standstill, something that’s rare in plug-in hybrids. The petrol engine is well insulated and if you hear anything, it sounds a bit like V6 hissing. Alright, a little.
As always, the Volvo is cool and clearly furnished, typically Scandinavian.
The Jaguar acts more indecisively overall, especially when the battery is empty. Then the system needs something to sort itself out, and it jerks every now and then. Here, too, the petrol engine is carefully insulated, and what you hear sounds pleasantly hoarse and smoky.
The F-Pace weighs another 112 kilograms more than the already heavy XC60 and feels exactly the same: massive and heavy and even bigger than it already is. Jaguar has soft-tuned him, he drives with his delayed responsive steering rather deliberately – fits perfectly with the rich driving experience.
In direct comparison to the Jaguar, the XC60 feels smaller, more like a high-slung compact station wagon than a heavy SUV. However, the smooth-running, decoupled and slightly shock-sensitive steering offers room for improvement.

The test XC60 was equipped with the adaptive air suspension (2410 euros). This offers the advantage of height adjustment in off-road mode, but does not respond particularly sensitively, especially on short waves like wooden. The Volvo then collects plus points with its brakes, it was warm after 34 meters, the Jaguar needed 35.4 meters.
Both with a proud price
Purely electrically, we covered 43 kilometers with the F-Pace in the test, with the Volvo it was 64. Even with an empty battery, the Swede remained more economical, came up with a consumption of 8.8 liters in the test, and the Jaguar at 10.9.
The Volvo has been in production since 2017, the Jaguar since 2016. Both still look timeless and modern
The good news: In contrast to many other plug-in hybrids with their mini tanks, both have decent fuel reserves, the XC60 is 71 liters, the F-Pace 69. That’s a good thing.
1. Volvo XC60 Recharge T6: 519 points
The Volvo has a lot of space and the more harmonious hybrid system. Very good brakes. high price.
2. Jaguar F-Pace P400e: 496 points
A decidedly fine, stylish interior and high driving comfort speak for the Jaguar. Even more expensive than the Volvo.
