2020 Jaguar F-TYPE vs. BMW M2

Want to turn heads all over Englewood and Saddle River in a brand new sports car? Then you’ve probably started comparing two of the top models, the 2020 Jaguar F-TYPE vs. BMW M2, to see which has the performance chops that you really want. And while there are advantages to either model, we feel that the Jaguar F-TYPE offers the versatility and power that will absolutely thrill drivers in the Ridgewood area. See for yourself:

BMW M2 vs. Jaguar F-TYPE: Engines

One of the biggest differences between the BMW M2 vs. Jaguar F-TYPE is the customizability. The Jaguar F-TYPE offers tons of different options. Choose between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, five different engines, and five different trims. You’ll also get a eight-speed automatic transmission with overdrive mode and auto-manual mode for greater control. Take a look at the sheer variety of engine options:

• 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine: 296 hp and 155 mph top speed
• 3.0L supercharged V6 engine: 340 hp and 161 mph top speed
• 3.0L supercharged V6 engine: 380 hp and 171 mph top speed
• 5.0L supercharged V8 engine: 550 hp and 186 mph top speed
• 5.0L supercharged V8 engine: 575 hp and 200 mph top speed

The BMW M2 is equipped with rear-wheel drive, but only offers a six-speed manual or seven-speed auto-shift manual. Plus, the M2 has less variety with only one engine: the 3.0L turbocharged V6 with 405 hp and a top speed of 174 mph. Those specs fall around the middle of the five F-TYPE options.

BMW M2 vs. Jaguar F-TYPE: Pricing Options

The Jaguar F-TYPE starts at $61,600 MSRP with five different trim options and two different body styles. If you’re searching for the cream of the crop, you can opt for the ultra-luxurious F-TYPE SVR starting at $123,600 MSRP. The BMW M2 Competition Coupe starts at $58,900 MSRP, but with only one trim to explore, you have far less options for personalization with the BMW lineup.

BMW M2 vs. Jaguar F-TYPE: Features

• • Body Style: Depending on your style, you might prefer one lineup over the other. The F-TYPE is offered in both coupe and convertible configurations, while the M2 is only offered as a two-door coupe. The F-TYPE also has a sportier appearance with a lower, wider stance.

• Cargo Space: The F-TYPE sneaks in a little extra cargo space for a total of 14.4 cubic feet, compared to just 13.8 cubic feet on the M2.

• Interior Comforts: While both offer leather-wrapped steering wheels and sport seats with memory, the two differ in interior stylings. The M2 has Dakota leather upholstery with contrast stitching, while the F-TYPE has standard grained leather seats with suede cloth facings. Additionally, Lozenge Quilted Windsor Leather seats are optional.

• Entertainment Tech: The F-TYPE comes equipped with a standard 10-inch InControl® Touch Pro™ display, which is larger than the M2’s 8.8-inch touchscreen, along with 325-watt Meridian™ Sound System or optional 825-watt Meridian™ Surround Sound System.
