Jaguar S-Type 1999 vs Rover 75 1999
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.0 Petrol | 2.0 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Jaguar S-Type) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Rover 75) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

Performance | |||
| Power: | 240 HP | 116 HP | |
| Torque: | 300 NM | 260 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 8.5 seconds | 11.7 seconds | |
|
Jaguar S-Type is more dynamic to drive. Jaguar S-Type engine produces 124 HP more power than Rover 75, whereas torque is 40 NM more than Rover 75. Thanks to more power Jaguar S-Type reaches 100 km/h speed 3.2 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 10.8 | 5.8 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 11.6 l/100km | 6.3 l/100km | |
|
The Rover 75 is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Jaguar S-Type consumes 5 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Rover 75, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Jaguar S-Type could require 750 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Jaguar S-Type consumes 5.3 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Rover 75. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Rover 75) 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. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.86 m | 4.75 m | |
| Width: | 1.82 m | 1.78 m | |
| Height: | 1.44 m | 1.43 m | |
|
Jaguar S-Type is larger. Jaguar S-Type is 11 cm longer than the Rover 75, 4 cm wider, while the height of Jaguar S-Type is 1 cm higher. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 370 litres | 432 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
810 litres | 432 litres | |
| Despite its longer length, Jaguar S-Type has 62 litres less trunk space than the Rover 75. This could mean that the Jaguar S-Type uses more space in the cabin, so the driver and passengers could be more spacious and comfortable. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Jaguar S-Type (by 378 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 12.1 meters | 11.4 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Jaguar S-Type is 0.7 metres more than that of the Rover 75, which means Jaguar S-Type can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
