Many automobile enthusiasts believe that the 2019 BMW 7 Series is the world’s preeminent car. Its state of the art tech, safety countermeasures and host of luxury features are hard to beat. But how does this car compare to the 2019 Jaguar F-Type, a true contender that has taken the automobile industry by storm due to its breathtaking appearance, posh cabin, and formidable engine power?
Design & Style
Like the predatory cat its named after, the Jaguar F Type has a style which is graceful, yet powerful. The headlights curve back inside the fenders and the hood is extended with a tail that has been truncated. It comes in many different shades, with a cabin rich in aluminum and carbon fiber. The BMW 7 Series also has a long hood, but with kidney grilles that enhance its exterior further. The stitched leather and interior surfaces within are ornate, with a dashboard that is horizontally themed and simple to use.
Technology & Safety
The BMW 7 Series is well equipped to protect its passengers at all times. It does so through lane control, cruise control, driver assist, and emergency automatic brakes that is standardized. Within the cabin, this full size sedan is rich in all sorts of goodies, such as Apple CarPlay, heated seats that can be power adjusted, climate control with four zones, a moon roof, and high quality audio. The Jaguar F Type is also rich in safety tech, such as frontal impact notifications, cruise control that is adaptive, emergency automatic brakes and warnings when departing lanes. Within the cabin, passengers will enjoy Meridian speakers that are 380 watts, memory seats, touchscreens which are 10 inches, but no Apple CarPlay or support for Android Auto.
Performance
The Jaguar is diabolically powerful. It has a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that has 296 horsepower that is wedded to an eight speed automatic. The BMW 7 Series answers with an inline 6 engine that can produce 320 horsepower with 330 pound of torque, which enables it to cruise from zero to sixty in 5.1 seconds. Both cars can be upgraded to more powerful engines if desired.
The Bottom Line
It won’t be easy to choose between these two cars. Both are gorgeous, provide excellent handling, and when fully equipped can easily exceed the six figure price tag, making them affordable for only a privileged few. However, as impressive as the Jaguar F type is, the BMW has an edge in performance and interior luxuries, so the 7 Series is the winner.
