Jaguar S-Type 1999 vs Jeep Cherokee 2002
| Body: | Sedan | Crossover / SUV | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crossovers and SUVs have better off-road capabilities (higher ground clearance, can have 4x4 drive), they are preferable for driving on unpaved roads and rural areas. Also, the driver's seating position is higher in a crossover or SUVs, which provides better visibility also in city. This usually comes at the cost of higher fuel consumption, increased weight and higher maintenance costs. | |||
| Gearbox: | Manual | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 3.0 Petrol | 2.8 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Jaguar S-Type) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Jeep Cherokee) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 510'000 km | 440'000 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 Jaguar S-Type engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 12 years | 7 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Jaguar X-Type, Jaguar XF | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Chrysler Grand Voyager, Chrysler Voyager | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Jaguar S-Type might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Jeep Cherokee 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. | |||
