Jaguar S-Type 1999 vs Rover 75 1999
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.0 Petrol | 2.5 Petrol | |
| 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. | |||

|
Jaguar S-Type is more dynamic to drive. Jaguar S-Type engine produces 63 HP more power than Rover 75, whereas torque is 60 NM more than Rover 75. Thanks to more power Jaguar S-Type reaches 100 km/h speed 1 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 10.8 | 10.5 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 11.6 l/100km | 10.7 l/100km | |

The Rover 75 is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Jaguar S-Type consumes 0.3 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 45 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Jaguar S-Type consumes 0.9 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. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 510'000 km | 350'000 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 | 10 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Jaguar X-Type, Jaguar XF | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Land Rover Freelander, Kia Carnival, Rover 400 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Rover 75 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Rover 75 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. | |||
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, if possible |
810 litres | 432 litres | |
| Despite its longer length, 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. | |||
| Gross weight: | 2`175 kg | 2`000 kg | |
| Net weight: | 1`705 kg | 1`445 kg | |
| Load capacity: | 470 kg | 555 kg | |
| Jaguar S-Type load capacity (permitted cargo and passenger weight) is par apmēram 18 procentiem less than Rover 75. Therefore, Rover 75 is more suitable for longer family trips or transporting heavier loads. | |||
