Many have tried but it seems that nothing can really beat the 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class out of the top spot. It is still the pinnacle of luxury cars and has long been the shining example of how a premium vehicle should look and act.

While it may not be a popular choice, especially when compared against the S-Class, the 2020 Jaguar F-Type also has characteristics that are both interesting and impressive. Here is a comparison to show how the F-Type can improve if it wants to be in the ranks with the S-Class.

Design & Style

The S-Class has an impressive façade. It is unmistakably majestic with all the finest exterior details. It looks special with the Swarovski crystal headlights that are equally eye-catching with the massive AMG® wheels. Aside from the flamboyant exterior, its contemporary interior will please even a meticulous sultan. There is a host of choices for the details, including stitching accents, leathers, and woods. The integrated air-perfuming system elevates the cabin even more, making the whole car smell nice and expensive all the time.

The F-Type has a curvy silhouette that shows how it was able to age gracefully. It is attractive yet lacks the same sophistication that most luxury vehicles have. The cabin is organized but it does not have any touch of elegance.

Technology & Safety

Having modern styling always calls for a tech-forward set of features. The S-Class pulled it off by having an innovative infotainment system that is headlined by the huge dual 12.3-inch displays. It may look overwhelming but it comes with an uncomplicated menu structure so using it cannot be difficult or distracting.

The F-Type runs the proprietary infotainment system from Jaguar. It is okay but the features are so basic. This is understandable as its last update was back in 2018.

Performance

The S-Class can’t be slow even if it tried. It is equipped with a 362 hp V-6 engine as a standard. It can deliver as much as 621 hp with the V-12 engine.  Both engines are missile-like in performance. Power delivery is predictably smooth and acceleration is effortless.

The F-Type also has a few choices for its performance competence. The standard trim with a 296 hp engine is fast and it also has an option for a V-8 engine that can peak at 575 hp. The only thing that seems to be a problem is that the F-Type has a sensitive brake system that can dampen its performance.

The Bottom Line

The 2020 Jaguar F-Type may have a strong engine but its power significantly lacks compared to the 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Only the S-Class can proudly brag about a highly-satisfying performance and delivering it in enviable sophisticated style.
