Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 360'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 11 years | 10 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Audi A6, Audi A7 | Used also on Jaguar E-Pace | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Porsche Macan might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Jaguar F-Pace engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
