Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Volvo S80) 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 S-Type) 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: | 330'000 km | 560'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Volvo S80 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 6 years | 6 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Used also on Volvo S60 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Volvo S80 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||

| Turning diameter: | 11.5 meters | 11 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Jaguar S-Type is 0.5 metres more than that of the Volvo S80, which means Jaguar S-Type can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
