Jaguar XE 2014 vs Honda Civic 2015
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Diesel | 1.5 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Jaguar XE) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Honda Civic) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Performance | |||
| Power: | 180 HP | 174 HP | |
| Torque: | 430 NM | 220 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 7.8 seconds | n/a seconds | |
| Jaguar XE engine produces 6 HP more power than Honda Civic, whereas torque is 210 NM more than Honda Civic. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 4.2 | 6.7 | |
|
The Jaguar XE is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Jaguar XE consumes 2.5 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Honda Civic, which means that by driving the Jaguar XE over 15,000 km in a year you can save 375 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 56 litres | 46 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1330 km in combined cycle | 680 km in combined cycle | |
| 1510 km on highway | 820 km on highway | ||
| Jaguar XE gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| 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: | 11 years | 13 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including Jaguar XF, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Honda CR-V, Honda Accord | |
| 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: | yes | no | |
| 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 | |||
