Mercedes SLC 2016 vs Jaguar F-Type 2017
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.1 Diesel | 3.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Mercedes SLC) 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 (Jaguar F-Type) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

| Power: | 204 HP | 340 HP | |
| Torque: | 500 NM | 450 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 6.6 seconds | 5.3 seconds | |
|
Jaguar F-Type is a more dynamic driving. Mercedes SLC engine produces 136 HP less power than Jaguar F-Type, but torque is 50 NM more than Jaguar F-Type. Due to the lower power, Mercedes SLC reaches 100 km/h speed 1.3 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | no data | 8.4 | |
| Fuel tank capacity: | 60 litres | 70 litres | |

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 420'000 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 F-Type engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 15 years | 7 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 13 other car models, including Mercedes C klase, Mercedes E klase, Mercedes ML, Mercedes A klase | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Jaguar XJ, Jaguar XF, Jaguar F-Pace, Jaguar XE | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mercedes SLC might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Mercedes SLC 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. | |||
| Mercedes SLC 2016 2.1 engine: The engine has a long service life if it is serviced on time and has reasonable fuel consumption. The most common problems are caused by the engine chain tensioner and the fuel delivery system. | |||
