Honda Civic 2015 vs Jaguar XE 2014
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.5 Petrol | 2.0 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Honda Civic) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Jaguar XE) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

Performance | |||
| Power: | 174 HP | 180 HP | |
| Torque: | 220 NM | 430 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | n/a seconds | 7.8 seconds | |

Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 6.7 | 4.2 | |
|
The Jaguar XE is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Honda Civic consumes 2.5 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Jaguar XE, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Honda Civic could require 375 litres more fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 46 litres | 56 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 680 km in combined cycle | 1330 km in combined cycle | |
| 820 km on highway | 1510 km on highway | ||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Honda Civic) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Jaguar XE) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 12 years | 10 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Honda CR-V, Honda Accord | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including Jaguar XF, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Jaguar XE might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Jaguar XE 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. | |||
| Jaguar XE 2014 2.0 engine: This engine is known for its relatively limited lifespan. In early production models, balance shaft bearings wore out quickly and started making noise. The chain-driven timing system, located on the flywheel ... More about Jaguar XE 2014 2.0 engine | |||
