Choosing Between the 2025 Land Rover Discovery and the Jaguar F-Pace: A Guide for Active Families
March 20 2025,
Family SUV shopping at Decarie Land Rover reveals significant differences between the 2025 Land Rover Discovery and Jaguar F-Pace. While these premium vehicles share the same sophisticated platform, their capabilities serve distinctly different needs. Your family deserves to understand what sets these exceptional options apart.
True Seven-Seat Versatility
The Discovery's seven-seat configuration transforms family travel compared to F-Pace's five-seat limitation. Stadium-style seating provides excellent visibility with third-row accommodations for adults up to 1.90 metres tall. Weekend getaways now include extended family without requiring a second vehicle.
Second-row seats slide 160mm forward or backward, allowing you to balance passenger legroom and cargo capacity. Enhanced cushions with increased padding deliver superior support during extended journeys through Québec's diverse landscapes.
Superior Storage Solutions
The 2025 Discovery provides 2,104 litres of cargo space behind the first row versus F-Pace's 1,440 litres. This difference accommodates hockey equipment, ski gear, or camping supplies for your entire family. Even with all seven seats in use, you retain 258 litres for essentials.
The powered inner tailgate serves as both outdoor seating and a load retention system for securing items. Throughout the cabin, 41.8 litres of storage distributed across 14 compartments includes a centre console capable of holding multiple tablets or water bottles.
Off-Road Confidence
Canadian terrain demands serious capability beyond city streets. Discovery delivers with 283mm ground clearance compared to F-Pace's 213mm. This advantage transforms access to remote camping areas, ski chalets, and lakeside cottages throughout Québec.
Wade Mode allows safe passage through water up to 900mm deep – invaluable during spring thaws. Terrain Response 2 continuously adjusts the intelligent All-Wheel Drive across snow, mud, or rocks, ensuring family adventures continue regardless of conditions. While the Jaguar F-Pace is also equipped with all-wheel drive, its system is geared towards on-road performance rather than adventure.
Family-Focused Interior
Second-row air vents provide airflow to rear seat passengers during both summer heat and winter freezes. Nine USB-C charging ports throughout all three rows keep everyone's devices powered during long journeys.
Intelligent Seat Fold technology allows reconfiguring seating using the touchscreen or cargo area controls. The Click and Go tablet holders in front seatbacks provide entertainment solutions for second-row passengers during long drives.
Canadian Performance Advantages
Both vehicles share the same basic engines, but they are tuned differently. Indeed, the standard turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder powertrain delivers 296 horsepower in the Discovery and 247 horsepower in the F-Pace. The available 3.0L turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine produces 355 horsepower in the Discovery and 395 horsepower, but the Discovery benefits from more low-end torque. Its 3,500kg towing capacity outperforms the F-Pace's 2,400kg limit, ideal for hauling boats or camping trailers.
ClearSight Ground View displays the area beneath the front of the vehicle for easier parking. The specialized Grass/Gravel/Snow drive mode ensures family activities continue uninterrupted throughout Québec's diverse seasons.
