Rover 75 1999 vs Jaguar S-Type 2004
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Diesel | 2.5 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Rover 75) 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 S-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." | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 116 HP | 201 HP | |
| Torque: | 260 NM | 250 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 11.7 seconds | 8.6 seconds | |
|
Jaguar S-Type is a more dynamic driving. Rover 75 engine produces 85 HP less power than Jaguar S-Type, but torque is 10 NM more than Jaguar S-Type. Due to the lower power, Rover 75 reaches 100 km/h speed 3.1 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 5.8 | 9.5 | |
|
The Rover 75 is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Rover 75 consumes 3.7 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Jaguar S-Type, which means that by driving the Rover 75 over 15,000 km in a year you can save 555 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 65 litres | 70 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1120 km in combined cycle | 730 km in combined cycle | |
| 1380 km on highway | 950 km on highway | ||
| Rover 75 gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| 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: | 4.75 m | 4.88 m | |
| Width: | 1.78 m | 1.82 m | |
| Height: | 1.43 m | 1.45 m | |

Rover 75 is smaller. Rover 75 is 13 cm shorter than the Jaguar S-Type, 4 cm narrower, while the height of Rover 75 is 2 cm lower. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 432 litres | 370 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
432 litres | 810 litres | |
| Even though the car is shorter, Rover 75 has 62 litres more trunk space than the Jaguar S-Type. The Jaguar S-Type may have more interior space, so the cabin could be more spacious and more comfortable for the driver and passengers. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Jaguar S-Type (by 378 litres). | |||
